"Rand Paul doodled."

[Geechie]

Heather Cox Richardson's daily digest knocked it out of the park again! This is why I read Letters from an American every day.

The defense lawyers’ problem, of course, is that they are being asked to defend the indefensible. They know it; we know it; Republican senators who have been defended Trump know it. During the video of the insurrection, Trump supporters Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Tom Cotton (R-AR) looked at papers on their desks, Rick Scott (R-FL) looked at papers on his lap, and Rand Paul (R-KY) doodled.

1. Can they show video

of Rand Paul doodling before the end of the trial? It won’t affect the outcome, but it needs to be documented for the American people that repuQs don’t GAF.

3. Gotta be out there

I agree - it would be campaign gold down the line.

4. A long time ago I read an article about Obama that stated he was "a doodler extraordinaire."

I'm in a writing group that has a few great doodlers! I'm not one, unfortunately.

2. It was a clear "Fuck you!" from the Republican Party to We the People.

Probably a good thing I'm still sheltering-in-place, cuz I'm not sure after this, I can even be civil to the people I know who still identify as republicans.

5. The amount of doodle is directly proportional to their spines of noodle.

The Florida ones are really scared of being “talked to” by constituents.

6. Florida's Senators (and some Reps)

are done. No need to even stick a fork in em ...

7. But are they really? You don't think they will be re-elected?

[Geechie]

10. Clearly

A good chance, given this is Flori-DUH.
Just doing some wishful thinking!

9. I'd love for you to be correct on this but I have serious doubts.

Florida really puzzles me.

8. Did Marsha "Birdbrain" Blackburn bring a book to read

like she did during Impeachment Volume I?

11. It Might Be Telling To Analyze His Doodles.....nt

12. They knew that they where not the target of the terrorists

[Geechie]

13. Right

Probably drawing a map for the next time.

[Blue Owl]

14. IMO he's always looked a bit sketchy

[Geechie]

15. Now you've done it

[milestogo]

[Geechie]
