(44,997 posts)I can't listen to these shitheads anymore. There were some real laugh out loud moments but mostly it's just sickening. Maybe I'll tune back in after my sense of humor returns.
Whatever the outcome of the impeachment, I'm looking forward to the criminal indictments the States drop on these clowns. They can't rig every jury.

Politicub
(12,165 posts)They are attempting to redefine the meaning of words and twist the definition of facts.
They know the difference between rhetoric and incitement. This is calculated, and will be reinforced by the senators questions to follow.
Its a reminder of why the last four years were so agonizing. This gaslighting was happening every day.

Mersky
(4,980 posts)Who detests cruz and didnt vote for tRump in 2016 or any republicans in the 2020 election.
Now, getting out from my inner circles, I have chosen two family members who surprise me and I want to understand where their racism and misconceptions are seated. Havent been able to have face-to-face discussions with them, because I dont want to argue over mask wearing while Im trying to protect my immediate households health and safety.

"At some indefinite time in the future?" WTF??

(2,831 posts)"Congress shall make no law" means you can't prevent people from speaking.
It does not, remotely, mean that the First Amendment protects the speaker from the consequences of speech.

(6,505 posts)to gin up a physical insurrection. He wanted the Capitol overrun with the mob. So, he lied and lied and lied.
He doesn't have free speech rights to incite an insurrection.
Mersky
(4,980 posts)EndlessWire
(6,505 posts)You can't invite a mob to DC, rile them up, and then state that you will march along with them to the Capitol, and then say, "Oh, I didn't mean it that way."
He was on site, urged them to march, and told them to fight. A lot of what his attorneys are saying is lifted out of context.
Mersky
(4,980 posts)That they carved that clip to twist and push their hollow defense. Its all theyve got really.
EndlessWire
(6,505 posts)He probably told them how to do their jobs. The first 5 quit. I would like to know more about that.

(938 posts)they did. And they made the point that by the time Trump said stay peaceful, the insurrectionists were no longer peaceful and hadnt been for several hours. What Trump did not say in his Tweet was leave the Capitol building immediately, it is not lawful for you to be there, depart or you will be cleared out.
Castor lied. He lied a bunch of times in his last arguments.
