  1. ANGRY TRUMP 2022 ?

    A angry soul opens its mouth

    And shuts its mind to reason.

    All who stay slow to anger

    Are loved by more each season.

    Hatred snuffs the lamp of thought

    And it's hard to stay serene.

    Where anger rules hatred thrives

    As the world we love turns mean.

    All who fan the coals of hate

    Have no reason to complain.

    If some hot sparks scorch their face

    Their torments multiply their pain.

    Anger is a human madness

    Which consumes both heart and mind.

    Those who rule their spirit with love

    Shall be praised by all mankind.

  2. Pat's testimony has scared all of the rats still living in the Trump Ship. The Rhyme, of The Ainchient Mariner!!!

  3. trolling you fools whom believe this. is get laughs reading the comments. educate yourselves please. 20 minutes online about the real democrat party. the slave party. the jim crowe party. they hate Trump and have manipulated all who vote for them

  4. Imagine if the Democrats put as much energy into healing the nation and repairing the damage to the economy they've caused as they put into their anti-white racist "CRT" non-sense they promote. Imagine if they loved the white race (who built America) as much as they claim to love all these other races over which they obsess.

  5. The January 6 committee has said the public has the right to learn the truth and the facts. Then why is Cipollone testifying behind closed doors to the committee and not in open session where the public can hear what he has to say? Who cares if it is being transcribed and video taped when there is no one to verify if what is in the transcription is what he actually said. The Democrats can write down anything and say he said that. No one can check it because they were not there to hear what he said. Probably because when the video of the questioning of Cipollone is made public the committee will have altered it and edited it to fit their own agenda and will have no relation to what he actually said and the truth. The January 6 committee was never about showing the truth and the facts to the American public. All they want to do is call Trump the bad bogeyman for the thousandth time with phonies like Hutchinson making up fairy tales about grabbed steering wheels that never happened.

  7. So what, his testimony will only get the "Deal", acquitted.

  8. "Trump for Prison 2022"

  9. Trump ain't worth it …just look at pat in the defense during the impeachment. Then look at him today …trump ain't worth that life sucking out .

  10. President Biden, WHY DOES YOUR ADMINISTRATION ALLOW china & the ccp TO BUY U.S. LAND?! I am a U.S. citizen & I DEMAND answers!!!

  11. I wonder how many fake accounts on NBC🤔

  12. Question: What took you so long?

  13. Question: Have you ever told a Fibb? A Biggie?

  14. Testimony: Have you ever met Donald Trump?
    Sip-A-Loni: Take Fifth…

  15. Should Sip-a-Loni wear his Mask for Interview?

  16. The investigation was supposed to end in June. But each week, more people want to show exactly how unhinged 45 is. So now they're scheduled to end in August. That means indictments will start in September.

  17. I don't know why everyone is getting so "excited" about Cippalone's testimony. There's every chance that he will get up there and either claim "Executive Privilege" or simply plead the 5th, and we will be no closer to validating the truth.

  18. If we've learned anything from these hearings it's that right wing Trump supporters are terribly triggered by the idea of his actions being investigated. That's a win right there.

  19. It's about time Trader Trump get locked up for good. The last time I checked treason was still a death penalty sentence.

  20. Unconstitutional. Illegal. Violation of the rule of law.
    THIS IS BULLSCHIFF…

  21. I can't wait until Cheney is tossed out of her state and she gets investigated. Actually let's investigate her fathers war crimes.

  22. Cipollone we'll have to go into hiding after his testimony is given. That's why he demanded that the hearing be private so that he can escape afterwards.

  23. Another waste of our tax dollars!!

  24. Hiding behind a mask. How brave. lol

  25. Can't wait to see him charged for lying to congress and held accountable for his actions. Hopefully he will throw trump under the bus

  26. You can’t wait for it to actually happen? This is everything that’s wrong with news. A non story filler puff piece about nothing new that’s happening. Let’s go outside and wait for him to show up and report nothing. Dumb.

  27. Great reporting on another nothingburger…blahahahaha 👏👍👌

  28. "Former Trump White House Counsel Pat Cipollone Testifies To Jan. 6 Committee" thereby reminding us, yet again, that #Jan621 Insurrectionist #HangryDJT is "utterly incompetent" as per the words of both his own Federal Judge elder-sister Maryanne Trump Barry and his own Clinical Psychologist niece Dr. Mary Trump. May #Imp2POTUS45 always hear "You're fired" via the unwavering reality of election results that reject him who is the cause of #MourningInAmerica.

  29. All this here say and you have absolutely nothing except disrespect towards your idiotism

  30. Who cares? What do we gain from this? Focus on fixing the inflation, the border and the crime wave instead of rehashing the many failed attempts to shut down mean Orange Man.

  31. "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17

  32. Select committee 7 Democrats 2 moderate Republicans. Is this also politically motivated?

  33. Hunter's laptop. Hillary's Russian collusion HOAX. Epstein's" clients" off the hook. Our SCOTUS under terrorist attack. WWIII looms, as well as civil war.
    But THIS is a priority??? No one cares, except for useful idiots.

  34. How about you media outlets focus on Biden’s destruction of life as we know it rather than a witch hunt on a past president? Just shows you’re not unbiased and simply another arm of the DNC

  35. Why don’t they ever show the video of Ray Epps? Weird.

  36. Atheist States are no good.
    Christian's are free thinking people. "All American citizens have an inalienable right to think freely." God is good.
    Christian Church should always come before the atheist States.America voters are intended to have American values. Democracy elected Adolf Hitler. America is not a Democracy Government.
    Before you say anything about Religion, Christianity is not a religion. God is not a Religion.
    Queens are for six year old girls and Bee colonies. American Up, United Kingdom. Go God given human rights.

    Christian's left the Catholic Church in year 1064 B.C. because Catholic's were extorting money for prayers.
    Christians seek a more righteous faith in God. God gives us Free Will to think outside religion's.

  37. Joe Biden is corrupt his son is corrupt report on voicemail proving Joe Biden lied about hunters illegal activities your news agency are political hacks

  38. Real news Joe Biden sold our national reserve all to China the company is connected with Hunter and his suspicious deals with China

  39. Either RELEASE THE 14,000 HOURS OF VIDEO footage and the Capitol police RADIO TRANSMISSIONS, and the info on RAY EPPS and JOHN SULLIVAN or SHUT THIS CLOWN SHOW DOWN. 🤡💵🗳💵🐁🐁🐁
