I'm not a lawyer, but I think this lawyer might not be doing a good job today of being a lawyer
"When you're driving down the street and you look over at your wife and you say, 'hey you know what, that guy is about to drive through the red light and kill that person...'"
"Senators of the United States... they're not ordinary people. They're extraordinary people in the technical sense of extraordinary people."

WHERE IS HE GOING WITH THIS?
This is what you get when your lawyer realizes he isn't getting paid upfront.
IS THE CAT LAWYER AVAILABLE
Has he mentioned Trump's name yet?
Is anyone else getting a sense of how Bill Cosby's lawyers managed to convince Castor not to prosecute.
The most amazing thing about this is, Castor is occasionally reading from notes.
"I don't want to steal the thunder from the other lawyers"

With all due respect, this is the least of your problems
"I'll be quite frank with you. We changed what we were going to do on account that we thought the House managers' presentation was well done."

So that's the excuse? It does make more sense now
Kind of rude for David Schoen not to compliment that warmup act.
"Bruce Castor’s opening statement in defense of former President Donald Trump was one of the worst presentations I have ever seen by a public speaker, in any context."

Dershowitz on Castor: “There is no argument; I have no idea what he’s doing. I have no idea why he’s saying what he's saying.”

After seeing Castor’s woeful performance, “On a scale of one to 10, with 10 being the angriest, Mr. Trump ‘was an eight’”

Chris Wallace: Would you vote to convict Trump?

Liz Cheney: “What we already know does constitute the gravest violation of his oath of office by any president in the history of the country”
Quick note for some people reading this. She’s in the House, so is not able to vote in the Senate trial. She did vote in favor of impeachment, which is more like an indictment
Also, civics is an underrated class

The highlight of this video starts around 1:35, when the Newsmax guy just up and leaves the set, probably figuring that he doesn’t need to be named as a defendant in this upcoming defamation suit.
Now you see him. ... Now you don’t
And the woman newscaster gets stuck with him at the end.

How's the vaccine rollout going in South Florida?

-- Fisher Island (median income $200k): 51% vaccination rate

-- Opa-Locka (median income $27k): 1.4% vaccination rate

Via @doug_hanks and @conarck

Note: Average age of residents in Fisher Island is about 2x that of Opa-locka.

Still...
And here, I apologize to @rickhirsch and other former @MiamiHerald colleagues for capitalizing the L in Opa-locka.

Louis DeJoy to Postal Service employees: “As we begin the new year, I want us to set a new tone...” npr.org/2021/01/22/959…
Perhaps the day is coming that no one outside of the USPS will know the name of the postmaster general
"The postmaster general cannot be removed by a president. That power lies with the USPS governing board whose 6 members were all appointed by Trump as a result of a GOP-controlled Senate blocking Obama's nominees"

Impeach him again?

“Trump and Justice Dept. Lawyer Plotted to Oust Acting Attorney General” nytimes.com/2021/01/22/us/…
Absolutely none of this comes as a surprise if you read Part II of the Mueller report
The thing about Trump is, he’s entirely predictable. Boringly so.

He will always poke and prod in illegality and immorality until someone he halfway respects warns him that his idiotic scheme will lead to a worse outcome than the status quo.

Home Depot founder and longtime GOP funder joins the ranks of those surprised by Trump
Langone also vows to do his part to "make Joe Biden the most successful president in the history of this country."

Lagone, Nov 2019: "Impeachment is going the way of racism. ...This guy Schiff looks like a bad guy. ...Nancy Pelosi's husband cans tuna fish in Guam!"
