"antifa temptresses" this is golden

i'm married to one of those temptresses, and it is wild

when you can't separate reality from fantasy, you end up sharing embarrassing fantasies

*Ominous music*

we tried to tell Lindell, "if you're going to talk about psychoactive drugs hidden in vaginas, make sure to check your phone first - if you can't find it, then you're in a dream! but if you're holding your phone, it's not a dream, so don't say it", but he wouldn't listen

so apparently there many things Trump did over the years that were impeachable

Go on...

seems like a weird thing to put out there as a defense

Remember when Charlie Sheen had a public, months-long manic episode/meltdown and its novelty made it newsworthy? Those were the days.

what is missing from this analysis is the fact that trump is a mentally unstable pathological liar who represented a threat to national security. that's why people wanted to oust him from the beginning -- they would not have talked this way about jeb or whatever. and they were proven right!

Castor is REALLY bad at this? I'm not following his "why do you distrust the electorate, they just voted for a new administration" argument.

Internal logical contradictions are irrelevant to the audience who is sympathetic to Trump. Whether the emotional framing feels congruent with their own emotions is all that matters to them. If it does, then each part of the argument is truthful, no matter how it contradicts the other parts of the argument.

no one feels bad for trump that he was mistrusted from the beginning. that was by design, his design. he ran the most despicable campaign in living memory.

also he did crooked shit continuously the entire time he was in office

there was also that whole thing where he led the racist birther movement for 4 or 5 years before that

Yeah. He was always a criminal and a con artist in addition to being a professional asshole on tv, and in office he acted just as anyone who knew about him would expect.

People were alarmed by him because he was alarming.

y'all are watching this farrago?!

I used to get teased for reading NRO but at least NRO was funny and mean-spirited.

so apparently there many things Trump did over the years that were impeachable

Yeah, it's the same kind of circularity someone pointed out last week: Republicans always saying "this is unprecedented" about a Democratic reaction to something unprecedented Trump did.

as I understand it, the Lindell thing is from a budget Onion site

This is funny and mean-spirited

it's almost as if democrats showed an excessive amount of restraint by only impeaching him twice for extremely grievous behavior

this is mean-spirited and tedious

xp

Nope, I believe it, I have to believe that he said it, I will make this make sense to me, hold on

Alfred did you catch any of Castor?

He can testify and confront his accusers????? He is choosing not to

By all means, let him come

I would have watched that for another 2 hours

here's a thought: an impeachment trial is not the same as a criminal trial

honestly nothing more infuriating than the "you guys hated Trump from Day 1!" argument. of fucking course we did! he's the most unlikeable human being on the planet!! the man's core campaign promise was "I'm going to throw your candidate in jail!"

what kind of investigation do they think needed to happen? it is all in public records and was broadcast to the world!

did Trump egg on rioters? only an investigation could possibly reveal the truth

Reminder that 'schoen' means 'beautiful' in German.

he's a beautiful bastard

this guy is a snore

these lawyers are terrible but on the other hand i can completely visualize how they must have impressed trump privately

I’m surprised he didn’t get someone a little better, some more competent sophistry

― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open),

He hires people because they look like the people he hires them for. To him, these clowns looked like lawyers, therefore they're good.

Wow what’s with all the posts?

here's the constitution, any of you folks ever seen it?

was he just holding up the mao little red book?

wasn't Schoen in Journey?

Trumpers have Constitution toilet paper and then they blather on about the "constitutionality" of the things where "constitutionality" means "whether I like or dislike it personally"

ok, waving Mao's book is pushing this way into comic territory. oh by the way, that speech you are giving is happening as part of a constitutional process.

Lol

schoen's still talking.

the thing that we don't realize, see, is that democrats moved forward with impeaching trump less than 48 HOURS after the events of 1/6/21. they did it immediately afterward, basically! can you believe that? those democrats have a lot of nerve

also WTF is he doing when he holds his skull with his hand every time he drinks water? he's done it at least four separate times now. is he trying to keep something on the back of his head from falling off?

his medulla

it's just a sexy little pose

Everything Trump does or directs others to do is targeted at the same people who loved The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice, except its tuned to an angrier, meaner pitch.

i mean, to move forward with impeaching so quickly, that would have to take a very BAD and VERY OBVIOUS event that left no doubt in anyone's mind. now, the events of 1/6/21 were a terrible, horrible thing. we all agree with that. lives were lost. and we all remember it vividly and will never forget. but to move forward with impeaching so quickly afterward, that is just extreme, and kowtowing to the interests of the democratic party's base, hold on

*drinks water and keeps brain from spilling out*

as i was saying
