No matter how this turns out, one huge bright point for me has been discovering Rep. Stacey Plaskett. I hope to see more of her.
What's really funny is Trump's twitter addiction timestamped the shit out of events. I never realized HOW MUCH the guy tweets until I wanted to check a July tweet of him in September and after 5 minutes of continuous scrolling I was still in the beginning of August.The argument that Trump is entitled to first amendment protection in his case is absolutely ridiculous. If I said, "I believe all Nazis should be killed on the spot," that would be a protected, free speech. I am expressing personal opinion, perhaps one that is unpopular, but still very much an opinion. If I said to a large group of people, "Let's round up all the Nazis and kill them on the spot," that would be a specific, targeted threat toward a specific group of people. That would be incitement to violence. That's not a protected, free speech.
What's so hard to understand about this?
Don’t forget literally no one good would defend Trump.I would be surprised if he did, because that is literally what he does. If I was arrested for pissing on Trump's grave, I wouldn't call these guys, let alone a representation before the Senate. Then again, they are arguing a case that is a slam dunk in favor of the prosecution.
He was trying to do his best impression of an old-time TV lawyer, but it was a pathetic performance. When one cannot even acknowledge a question being asked, and instead starts talking about something completely unrelated, you know they‘ve got NOTHING.That guy Van see Veen is great at the Republican game of twisting things around. “Hatred should have no place in this chamber,” he says, implying the entire impeachment is about Democrats’ hate for Trump... conveniently ignoring that on Jan. 6 a genuine hate mob stormed the Capitol, tried to steal the election and almost got our Congress killed. But this trial is all about hate for Donald Trump? Is he for real??
Then there’s Trump’s lawyers claiming Antifa was among the arrests. Again—really??
And Trump is a man of peace, and it wasn’t an insurrection anyway.
You’ve just left reality and entered...The Republican Zone.
From day one everybody knew Trump picked him because he’s just a stuffed suit. He didn’t want anybody competing for attention.With Pence & his safety becoming a growing focus in this trial, should anyone genuinely really be concerned?

If he doesn't want to speak up for himself...
He always has an angle. He’s in the news now, and perhaps he will want to call witnesses for the defense?Lindsey Graham voted to support calling witnesses
They said his attorney wasn't even going to show up this morning and that Trump had to talk him into it.
