  • @dc9291
    we don't need a hearing to know/see the evidence. He needs to be charged with crimes/treason.

    Charity begins at HOME...no more money till OUR country is fixed!
  • @jparshall6730
    These politicians will do nothing for the American people I'm tired of it.
  • Removed the Senators that allowed this to happen. These politicians have no concerns for the American people. Vote them out.
  • @susanbrown9157
    Should've been a trial!! Get rid of the senators that let this happen!
  • I’m sick to my stomach that Mayorkas wasn’t impeached. Sad day for our country. Shame on those damn dems
  • @rhondamyers4936
    Eyes have turned black. Every representative needs to be charged $1 million per day until they fulfill representing the people they took an oath to. Starting today.
  • @NJ-kd9ox
    Get these criminals out of office.
  • @regenia5189
    This was a sad day for America. I am a democrat who will vote republican.
  • @georgesealy4706
    Speaker Johnson has to tell Schumer to forget about any bill originating from the Senate even coming up for a vote in the House. Every Senate bill is DOA. Play hardball with these assholes.
  • @kimglickman8560
    Stop giving these agencies money. Shut them down . That's your power, unless you've been bought.
  • @billeckert6454
    Where in the Constitution does the Senate have the power to override the decision of the House to hold an Impeachment Trial? I will make it easy for you: IT DOESN'T. The Constitution is THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND AND BOTH THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE ARE BOUND BY IT. TO NOT FOLLOW IT IS TO BREAK THE LAW. The Senate MUST hold a trial if the House determines one is in order. The Senate does not have the power to second guess nor to override the finding of the House. The power to bring impeachment is effectively nullified if this decision by the Senate is allowed to stand. It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and needs to be challenged.

    People of America, time to take your country back.
  • @airrik2653
