During the investigative hearings I think they should fill any available empty seat with a life sized cutout of a smiling Jared Kushner weighted down by a sack of cash. Republicans probably wouldn’t even address it because attempting to do so in any way would flush the point they are trying to make down the toilet.
I normally don’t like whataboutism as a defense but Republican’s tactics have fuck all to do about principle and thier laundry list of accusations describes Trump to a T and probably a good percentage of elected officials on both sides. It’s just jaw dropping. If Republicans were the defense team for the 9/11 hijackers they’d bring up a guy who shot his wife accidently while cleaning his gun and "all things being equal" as a reason to acquit. Trump is a pathetic hill to die on but they seem to insist that is their destiny along with demonizing the other side as their only approved platform. It’s like they looked at the midterm results and went "let’s do even worse in 2024".
