IMPEACHMENT
reject dismissal
Top Senate Republicans are rejecting Trump's call for outright dismissal of the impeachment charges against him.
"I don't think there's any interest on our side of dismissing," said Sen. Roy Blunt. "Certainly, there aren't 51 votes for a motion." https://t.co/q65ankI0Yr

Hugh Hewitt, in 2015, asks Trump if he knew who Soleimani was. Trump stammers, pretends he misheard Quds as "Kurds" (who, ironically, he defends) and complains about a "gotcha question."

WAPO documented 15000+ lies told by Trump since he took office. How can the American people trust him when he lies all the time? He lied about Obama’s birth certificate and tweeted in 2011 that Obama would “start a war with Iran” to get reelected. Is that what Trump is doing now?
