Hillary Clinton [2016 file photo].

Donald Trump (r) keeps getting owned by Hillary Clinton (D). In 2016:

OFFICIAL 2016 PRESIDENTIAL GENERAL ELECTION RESULTS [pdf] [Federal Election Commission]
General Election Date: 11/08/2016
[Hillary] Clinton 65,853,516 48.18%
[Donald] Trump 62,984,825 46.09%

This morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
I think that Crooked Hillary Clinton should enter the race to try and steal it away from Uber Left Elizabeth Warren. Only one condition. The Crooked one must explain all of her high crimes and misdemeanors including how & why she deleted 33,000 Emails AFTER getting “C” Subpoena!
9:06 AM · Oct 8, 2019

He ain’t right.

Early this afternoon:

Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton
Replying to @realDonaldTrump
Don’t tempt me. Do your job.
2:01 PM · Oct 8, 2019

He got owned. Again.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2016 file photo].

Today:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
The decision to abruptly pull troops out of #Syria is a mistake. Leaving the region will mean abandoning the Kurds who have been fiercely loyal allies as we’ve moved to eliminate ISIS and stabilize the region.

I urge the White House to reconsider this decision.

We hear his buddies may have an oil and gas deal in Ukraine you might be interested in.

Some of the responses:

Have you finally reached a point of concern? We have warned you all along that many have had concerns about @POTUS.

You sit on the House Armed Services Committee.

You’re the ranking member of the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee.

You have the power to hold the President accountable + provide oversight.

Please do so.

If only you had the power to do something about it . .oh, wait…

This is on you and your GOP friends. Congrats.

Give us a shout when you object to holding up military aid to Ukraine until they assist the president’s reelection by contributing to dark web conspiracy theories to protect Russia and smear a political opponent.

Not gonna happen.

You’re one of his biggest fans.

I’m sure he was just joking, Ms. Hartzler. Ha, got you good, didn’t he!!!

And, here’s the joke:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey (I’ve done before!). They must, with Europe and others, watch over…

Last night:

Jason Kander @JasonKander
In Syria (and in Ukraine), Trump basically switched which side we were on in a war. He switched us to the Russian side. Counter to America’s interest, over and over, he does what’s best for Russia. (1/x)
11:19 PM · Oct 6, 2019

Jason Kander @JasonKander
He has no strong convictions on foreign policy other than when he’s advancing Russia’s agenda or defending Putin.

He is obviously compromised. Why are we acting as though there’s any chance in the world he’s not? (2/x)
11:21 PM · Oct 6, 2019

Jason Kander @JasonKander
It doesn’t even matter if there’s Russian money in his businesses or whether there’s a pee tape. At this point, he’s EITHER afraid they’ll undermine his legitimacy by admitting they helped him win OR that they won’t help him win next time. Either way, Russia owns him! (3/x)
11:26 PM · Oct 6, 2019

Jason Kander @JasonKander
At every step of the way, he is executing Russian foreign policy. He is basically Putin’s foreign minister. They have him. It’s over.

Reason enough to impeach. (4/4)
11:27 PM · Oct 6, 2019

Some of the responses:

This is his way of changing the news cycle for the week. No one will be talking about Ukraine or impeachment. They will now be talking about his latest disgusting act as POTUS

Unfortunately, impeaching Trump won’t remove him from office, unless a whole bunch of a Republican senators find both a moral compass and a spine. The entire GOP is compromised.

How can the vets is the Senate who helped fight ISIS support this? How can they stay quiet? #GOPCowards

Donald Trump is America’s Quisling! Cowardly Republicans remain silent and complicit

The Kurds are now in unbelievable danger. This is our thank you for all they’ve done for us?

you’re entirely wrong. I read about these real Americans in a diner in Ohio and this policy shift re Syria/Turkey/Kurds is *exactly* why they voted for him. That and her emails, obv. #notfunnyiknow

This has been in the works for at least a year. Mattis resigned over this. It’s a terrible day for America.

Trump isn’t loyal to anyone but himself, just ask his ex-wives.

And his current one.

This is why transcripts of conversations with Putin need to be released. What is Trump’s quid pro quo on this arrangement?

Yes we need to see the Putin/trump transcripts ASAP

#DonTheCon is #PutinsPuppet

“He’s just doing it to ‘gig’ the media”….said the sycophants.

In light of what we now know about @realDonaldTrump’s willingness to let foreign influence and personal emoluments determine US foreign policy, we need to ask what prompted this major policy shift. #Turkey #Kurds

Well, you’ve got to give #Trump points for obedience.

Putin putting pressure on an asset he knows is about to become worthless

She warned us.

Coward. And hack.

Roy Blunt (r) [2016 file photo].

This morning:

Transcript: Senator Roy Blunt on “Face the Nation,” October 6, 2019

[….]
MARGARET BRENNAN: Are you comfortable with what the president has said here in this call for foreign governments Ukraine and China to investigate his political opponent?

SEN. BLUNT: Well I- I doubt if the China comment was serious to tell you the truth. The president–

MARGARET BRENNAN: You don’t take the president–

SEN. BLUNT: The president–

MARGARET BRENNAN: -at his word?

SEN. BLUNT: No the president loves to go out on the- on the White House driveway. I haven’t talked to him about this. I don’t know what the president was thinking. But I do know he loves to bait the press and he does that almost every day to see what you’ll talk about and maybe what he was hoping was–

MARGARET BRENNAN: So you don’t believe–

SEN. BLUNT: –somebody in the press will say–

MARGARET BRENNAN: –the president, but is that appropriate to ask for a foreign government to interfere in the election?

SEN. BLUNT: I- I don’t imagine that’s what he was doing certainly —

MARGARET BRENNAN: –but is it appropriate?

He’s not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.

This morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The so-called Whistleblower’s account of my perfect phone call is “way off,” not even close. Schiff and Pelosi never thought I would release the transcript of the call. Got them by surprise, they got caught. This is a fraud against the American people!
8:58 AM · Oct 5, 2019

Some of the responses:

The whistleblower complaint corroborates the call summary, both of which prove you conspired with Ukraine.

He’s playing to moronic base. Let him have his moment

“Schiff and Pelosi never thought I would release the transcript of the call.”

Because even as stupid as you are, nobody thought you would be stupid enough to giddily release something that incriminates you that badly.

Have someone who knows how to read read it to you some time.

You never released the transcript of the call, and the highly redacted summary you released confirms the report.

The “transcript” is what incriminated him. It’s unambiguous.

Trump impeached himself.

Your transcript proved your guilt

The White House memo from the call (not a transcript) confirms the whistleblowers allegations about the call.

Hey Bubbles, you gotta make up your mind whether what you said was perfect or if the whistleblower was lying. Can’t be both, because, well, the rest of us are capable of reading.

But most of his supporters aren’t.

You realize Twitter is not your diary right?

The guy who won’t release his tax returns and who is personally profiting from the presidency now wants us to believe that he is concerned about corruption in Ukraine!

Are the text messages with Volker perfect too?

You do know we can read. This must be for your supporters, who don’t.

What the “transcript” says is what you’ve been accused of saying.

He’s just not that bright, is he?

Yesterday:

Matthew Rosenberg @AllMattNYT
Replying to @GOPLeader
Nope. Not what the NYT reported. The whistleblower went to an intel committee staffer with a vague account of the complaint, and was told to file through proper channels. Schiff personally never knew the whistleblower’s identity. That’s hardly “orchestrating” the complaint
2:40 PM · Oct 2, 2019

Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r) [2016 file photo].

Yesterday, still in the front row manically clapping an hour after the band has left the stage:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
This is turning into the Mueller Report all over again. This is what happens when you decide to take action and jump to conclusions based on secondhand, unsubstantiated information.

Let’s quit the political distractions and keep working to represent the American people.
[….]
2:35 PM · Oct 2, 2019

Didn’t really read the Mueller Report, did you?

Some of the responses:

Keep digging Miss Vicky. Dig deep enough, you might find your soul.

Heaven forbid that a citizen took their valid concerns for our Nation to an elected official, with the hopes that they would help our country. Oh, the blasphemy! #GOPHypocrisy

False equivalency. No wrongdoing on the part of Schiff, unlike the president.I guess
@RepHartzler is okay with asking foreign countries to meddle in U.S. elections.

It is a situation that you should find at the very least, super troubling and should be investigated to the fullest extent. The fact that other countries are involved should be the wake up call, so freaking wake up! #ImpeachmentNow #ImpeachmentInquiry

what does #SocialistHartzler feel was unsubstantiated?

Yeah, uh, this is just not true, Congresswoman. You are spreading a lie.

You people are pathetic

and this is why we don’t trust politicians and voted for @realDonaldTrump

It’s substantiated by the rough transcript released by the Administration. We have a primary source confirming what the whistleblower learned. This isn’t difficult, so I can only conclude you’re intentionally trying to deceive your constituents.

When you have allegations, the right thing to do is investigate. The House Dems are doing the right thing. You’re trying to ignore corruption, because the crooked politician is from your party.

It’s a shame that McCarthy lied then, isn’t it?

By second hand you mean…strait out of the presidents mouth correct?

There’s that.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.” Your man is done.

There’s that, too.

Doing God’s work. USA loves you for it.

If so, God has a warped sense of humor.

#gaslightingKevin

Senator and Reprsentative… please tell us why schiff has not been arrested for treason at this point??? He is corrupt and destroying our country as u just standby??? Really??? Stop talking and act!!!

Uh, because there’s no reason to do so? Just spitballing here.

Breaking: GOP LYING.

Nope the “transcript” released by the White House (the White House!) is enough to impeach on. Good luck with your disinformation campaign.

If I were a betting man I would bet that you have not actually read the story.

Bring it up at the hearings.
What are you afraid of?

Oh honey.

#RIPGOP #TrumpPressConference

Did you read the Mueller Report?

Senator; please tell us why schiff hasn’t been arrested for treason at this point??? He is corrupt and destroying our country as u just standby??? Act already Sir!

Uh.

I live in MO and don’t feel the least bit represented by you. He is a crazy man and you all know it. Get him out before he hurts a lot more people. I will vote blue the rest of my life.

Lie.

Umm .. The released notes of the conversation back up what the whistleblower reported .. Keep trying to cover ..

The Mueller Report was basically a road map for Congress to follow to impeachment. So I’m not getting your point.

Lol, do you honestly believe standing by him is going to play out well for you? 10 years from now, do you think you’ll look back and be proud about your actions? I’m genuinely baffled about the thought process here.

I would bet that you haven’t read more than a few paragraphs of the Mueller report. Stop defending the criminal in the Whitehouse and hold him accountable for his crimes! He’s commiting impeachable offenses on a daily basis now.

So, youre saying that the phone transcript doesnt say what it says, but that a NY Times article says something it doesnt say.

Youre channeling the spirit of Donald Trump, arent you? #VoteThemOut #DitchMitch #ImpeachTrump

You’re corrupt, Vicky

To the tune of Jingle Bells:

Victim card
Victim card
The GOP today
The just keep playin’ the victim card
Like the criminals they are, HEY!

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.”

— Rep Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), House Majority Leader, 15 JUN 2016

It is based on the transcript released by the White House. Shameful. #VoteHerOut

Read the article. Stop spreading misinformation.

You think Missourians are as dumb as Republicans, don’t you?

You didn’t do the reading, did you?

The President used tax payers dollars to shake down a leader of another country for his personal political gain.

McCarthy is lying and now you are too. How embarrassing for you.

Spinning the truth is destroying America. I guess that is what you want.

You know, there is a difference between what you wish the article said, and what it really said. “Consistent with the Committee’s longstanding procedures, Committee staff appropriately advised the whistleblower to contact an Inspector General and to seek legal counsel.”

Yes! Let’s distract from the revelations and keep the political corruptions going.

It also makes you complicit.

Vicky, The Mueller report was filled with examples of wrong-doing – a total of thirty-four individuals and three companies were indicted by Mueller’s investigators. The President’s bought and paid for AG, Barr said a sitting president can’t be indicted, or he would have been too.

Bless your heart. That’s why there are hearings.

Thank you for confirming that Missouri needs better educators: ones who teach the value of reading comprehension, reason, and plain old logic. By the way, when the information is confirmed by the participants, it is now first-hand information.

This is what happens when you believe the lying @GOPLeader and don’t read either the article or the DNI guidelines on how to report misconduct.

Oh, please. Take a reading comprehension course.

Yes, ma’am, “Let’s quit the political distractions…” As a constituent, I’d love for you to lead the way. While you’re at it, representing all of us, not just those who share your views, here in your MO Congressional District, would be a great start. LMK date of Town Hall.

An open public town hall is not gonna happen.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
As I learn more and more each day, I am coming to the conclusion that what is taking place is not an impeachment, it is a COUP, intended to take away the Power of the….

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
….People, their VOTE, their Freedoms, their Second Amendment, Religion, Military, Border Wall, and their God-given rights as a Citizen of The United States of America!

Anointed by who? Sure.

Some of the responses:

you would think that the American people have a god-given right not to have a unhinged erratic criminal day-glow tangerine bridge abutment rodeo clown who looks like he went bobbing for apples in a cotton candy machine for president, and yet here we are. explain that, homeslice

The coup was when Russia installed you as an illegal “president.”

My God. This man is trying to set America on fire.

Bingo! This is a coup & I will go as far as saying it’s a Marxist revolution.
If they succeed the left will bring in full on tyranny on a global scale.
Everyone who cares about freedom needs to on their hands & knees praying this Marxist takeover of America does not succeed

There’s always one person who spoil the fun for everyone else.

It’ll be a coup when some military guys storm into the Oval with guns drawn and drag your ass out for your escape flight to Moscow. For now, it’s an impeachment.

That’s exactly what YOU are trying to do by becoming a dictator.

speaking of the “people’s votes,” you lost by 3 million of them

The people voted for Hillary.

Well, yes, they did.

Do you mean the people from the peripheral states like California and New York! See the red electoral map.

Almost too stupid to remember to breathe.

Donnie .. I was just wondering .. is that Nobel Peace Prize still a thing?
Because it really looks like you are going to lose it to a girl ..

Just sayin’

He’s obviously unstable, let’s not add too much to it.

The people chose Hillary with the popular vote. The people chose to have a Dem House majority. The people want you gone.

You lost the popular vote, and you’re literally conspiring with foreign leaders to corrupt our democratic process.

Absolutely. This has become more than just any one Presidential term. This is a divide that is attempting to dismantle the Foundation from which Our Great Nation was founded. The majority of the Liberal public are but mere pawns of D-Politicians. This Moment Will Define History.

WTF?

If you worked as much as you whine, you might get something accomplished.

Scratch that.. Keep whining. We don’t need you effing things up any more than you already have.

There’s that.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…
