I don’t understand why Trump can just do this..doesn’t the executive branch have any checks and balances?

Why is there no meaningful outcry from our house and senate over this ?

I am severely disappointed that the Dems aren’t planning more of a protest at tonight’s SOTU. 😞

I do not feel sorry for him. He was warned since 2016 about Trump. Let him reap what he sowed.

Trump and Vance were utterly rude, vicious and disgusting to Zelensky. Shameful.

It was a set up so they could put a halt to support of Ukraine

Me neither. Didn’t even record it. Out for enjoyable small dinner and drinks with close friends.

Trump administration does NOT" want to get it"--it is that they do not care. Trump does not care about the American citizen whatsoever! Whether retired, military, federal employee, medical--you name it). We the people do not matter to him.

How can he pause money for Ukraine 🇺🇦 when it has been allotted by Congress?

He wants to hold it up as usual by it going through the courts. It will probably be overturned. But this is his MO since the early 80s for those not up to date with his history. Thankfully Europe has stepped up until those funds are released. Also, it is probably dispursed in intervals. I could be mistaken. Also, that money was alotted for military equipment and such. So he will drag it through the courts as usual when Ukraine needs it now.

Alina Habba is an idiot. I can't wait for Karma to kick in with these people.

She is something I cannot say on here. Her day will come like the rest of them. Her name will be dragged through the mud in history books for a long time. These people have special places waiting for them in hell where they belong.

John Kelly told us what he really thinks of U.S. veterans. When will enough be enough?

Isn't Alina Habba herself a federal government employee?

Excellent point, but I doubt any of the “chosen Kremlin/Washington Press Corp will remind her of this.

At this point I’m wondering where our shadow press conference is from the opposition. Dems are completely letting Trump set the narrative, and Republicans, because they largely agree with most of this, can sit back and do absolutely nothing. I don’t know which I find worse or more disturbing. I guess our elected officials really don’t care about saving a democracy, not if we’re judging them on their actions.

I just can't watch the State of the Union Address tonight. Listening to his hyperbole and lies makes me physically nauseous. I will wait for the analysis from Jim tomorrow.

Trump has no idea how tariffs work.

I often wonder why Trump supporters declare publicly that they will not support and/or vote for his agenda, and after a closed-door meeting with him, they abruptly change their minds to support him. Does he abuse/threaten them? Ummm

I believe that he does. He has his mob dudes try to find anything on anyone against him and if they can’t, they make it up. Typical mob mentality!

I'm still convinced that Putin has dirt on Trump. Not sure what exactly, but one day we may find out. It's a hierarchy of mob dudes, with Putin on top, considering the way "the leader of the free world" grovels to him.

I absolutely agree with you. Putin has had big nasty dirt on Trump. Trump is Putin’s puppet

Hi Jim, thank you for doing this. Was it not obvious that Trump committed the crime of extortion of President Zelensky in the Oval Office on Friday? In full view he threatened to withdraw aid to Ukraine if President Z did not sign a deal giving away 50% of their mineral resources??? It was as much of a crime as when he extorted President Z to “open an investigation” of then VP Biden.

Time for impeachment or resignation!!!

Thank you,

Bart Hayes

How long do the Democrats be quiet and "just roll with it" if when we do stand up and fight back it is too late? I respect the office of the President but not the evil man in it.
