Leader of antifa? Wut? 😂😂😂

And here we have the whataboutism.

Cancel culture! Everybody drink!

Schoen(?) plays the victim card so well.

Aaaaand let's attack journalism.

I do have some questions about that blue check.

Showing trump telling people to "fight like hell" does not seem like a good strategy.

Confederate statues and slave ownership are ok with the defense, apparently.

The whole "Jews will not replace us." and killing Heather Heyer thing is whitewashed.

Hilarious. He should have been impeached for nepotism, for giving codeword intelligence to the Russians, for crimes against humanity, for the Woodward covid tapes, for f*cking golfing on our tax dollars at his resorts. There's more but 280.

Elizabeth Warren's (and the rest's) "fight" speech is not a good argument in context. But please, have at it. Also somebody said "damn" in an ad.
What About Ism is so much fun.

Lawyer who complains trump quotes are out of context displays Dem "fight" montage out of context.

It's really long. Thinking bathroom break.

Omg I'm back and it's still going.

More tu quoque which I think is the fancy way to say whataboutism. Is that good latin?

Defending The Big Lie. 60+ court cases. 90 judges including trump appointees.
Republican election officials.

Cleanse:

My state had paper ballots scanned into a box and saved last year.
Yours?

Does Van der Veen translate to victim card?

Rich that this guy is talking about hatred when his client got people killed with his hatred. Remember this?
ndtv.com/indians-abroad…

Or this?
reuters.com/article/us-usa…

Maybe this?
bbc.com/news/world-us-…

Yes the lazy, incompetent, disastrous jackass incited violence. He also ignored a pandemic.
veteranstodaynetwork.com/2021/02/11/lan…

"Partisan law professors" are scaring Mr. Van der Veen. I don't know what this has to do with the case.

He's totally going there, though.

"Bully tactic" holy hell this poor guy. He should probably just curl up in a ball.

Common sense is bad, apparently.

Legal wanking continues. Erroneous statements should be protected so Mr. Trump is fine.

So many 1A interpretations. Need a lawyer.

It doesn't seem like a good idea to play video of trump talking about the Constitution and fighting.

Trump sounds like a tv preacher from the 80s.
Can't decide if it's more like Jim or Tammy Faye.

"Rudy being Rudy"

Omg where is this guy from and who pronounces "over" like that?
Deserves a rewind while he plays more "fight" montage.

Big Tech! Everybody drink!

Jeepers is this over?

Nicole Wallace is bringing receipts on the MSNBC.

What about that time he randomly bombed an evacuated Syrian airbase? What about that time he got 4 soldiers killed over a beautiful piece of chocolate cake to impress President Xi? That seems unconstitutional.

Anyway they're back and somehow I missed this:

https://twitter.com/AndrewFeinberg/status/1360295425501261826?s=19

Castor is defining insurrection as "having a plan" as of Donald wasn't totally prepared to take power.

*if

Legal but no laws cited. Right to "law & order"

I still can't get over how often they bring up hatred, when hatred was trump's whole thing.
#victimcard

3 dead cops & 140 injured. Stop with the law & order stuff.

Um, yes he did.

Let's see, Mr. Castor, trump gassed BLM protestors so he could hold up an upside down bible, but waited hours to send in the national guard to the Capitol? Hmmm

Wait he's claiming the speech wasn't part of the pre-planned violence? lawandcrime.com/2020-election/…

That one time Trump said "peacefully" is sure carrying a lot of water.

This guy has a very broad definition of "immediate".

How about this? If the inciter in chief had conceded like a normal person, these violent turds would not have stormed the Capitol.

This video sort of implicates Trump & his supporters. I mean, he could have graciously conceded after failing in the courts and failing with state officials.

Vegetarian chili & fritos for linner? Dunch?
Anyway here's the recipe, I'd go a little lighter on the salt.
vanillaandbean.com/wprm_print/319…

The whole Georgia thing.

It's pretty funny to hear Castor speaking about the will of the voters when that's what Trump and his mob were trying to subvert.

Cancel culture again! Drink and lift a finger to Cruz. You know it was him.

I'm going to have chili seconds and call it dinner. ICYMI
vanillaandbean.com/wprm_print/319…

Answer to question 1:
Yes indeed. Trump is the poorest loser we have ever seen. If he had conceded with grace there would not have been a violent insurrection.

Question 2 could apply to that Wisconsin murderer, but I think they were going after the VP

Question 3: just loving Congressman Raskin so far.

Ooh question 4 is Susan clutching pearls Collins & Lisa Murkowski. Timeline.

* Lisa lip service Murkowski

President's lawyer is lying.

Q5: Senator Rosen. Proud boys & camp auschwitz t shirt. Trump should have known.
Plaskett the star says yes indeedy, he encouraged it.

Pattern & practice.
Months of cultivating violent people.
Assembled violent people for the specific purpose of stopping the vote.

Q6: some R from SC: Can't we just let him off?
Lawyer: Of course. Let's just punish the little guys.

Q7: Timeline again but this time Sens Markey & Duckworth ask the House Managers. Plaskett again, nailing trump.

Plaskett: asking all the right questions.

Q8 is Mitt. For both sides.
Pence tweet. This is easy based on Tuberville. Let's see what happens.

Yes of course but T Lawyer says no. Lots of Trump is clueless energy here.

Amy, Bob, and Sherrod have a question. Basically saying don't set a precedent. Stop this sucker. Plaskett again pointing out the world is watching.

Plaskett is addressing the BLM whataboutism. Amazing.
Also: "unless you live in a territory " xoxoxo

Next question is stupid.

*and moot

Question: How were they radicalized? Castro has the answers.
May I also point to repeated mental health and education budget cuts?

*Representative Castro

Lol. Democrats had elections stolen in 2000 and 2016 and all we did was knit hats and march peacefully.

Question for both: weird procedural.
T side: Representative Castro shouldn't quote the President. Also I'm mad. Also something about BLM.
House: Rep. Raskin: cites Constitution, precedent. Disqualification only needs a majority, btw.

Next: delay of certification. Raskin is totally shading the electoral college whilst also pointing out an angry mob killed people and delayed certification.

Question to T's attorneys:
Isn't trump pro-Israel?
Lawyer: This sucks.

T's lawyer is just straight up whining.

Question LOL seriously: Did Trump actually win the election?

Plaskett thank god says of course not. Btw if Donald wasn't such a poor sport we wouldn't be here.

Trump's lawyers are facing a moment.

"My judgement is irrelevant." says counsel for the big liar. Quite the dodge.
Denies Trump's inability to concede incited a riot. (But it did.) Very shouty.

I don't think he's doing trump any favors claiming the riot was premeditated.

Complaining about not enough investigation when investigation will likely incriminate a pile of them. 😂😂😂 lawandcrime.com/2020-election/…

I'm really loving Representative Plaskett and hoping the VI gains statehood.
She defends Mayor Bowser and DC should also be a state.
Fingers crossed.

Very pointed question about The Big Lie. If this giant butt had just politely conceded we wouldn't have to deal with his septic tank full of unflushable turds.

Ugh. Cruz. BLM whataboutism, of course.

Raskin:
Encouragement
Timing
Foreseeable
Exalting in it

Van der Veen citing Brandenberg v. Ohio. Not really explaining. Trying to dunk on Kamala and BLM. Now I'm going to go back and find it for later.
Also, bible believers? Ok.

Also Van der Veen: irrelevant facts. Hello Kellyanne?

Looking forward to cassidy's question.

Ooh timeline and Tuberville plus the Pence lacked courage tweet.

Dispute the facts? Subpoena the phone records.

Raskin is freaking on fire. Trump was invited to testify and btw Tuberville said at 2:15 pence was evacuated. Trump tweeted against Pence at 2:24.

Manchin asking about the force used for Trump's bible photo op vs. the lack of force at Capitol?. Ms. Plaskett is just plainly telling Republican Senators that Trump has no problem throwing any of you under the bus. Bravo.

Snap impeachment question

Due process answer. I agree he should also be tried in criminal courts.

I am straight up jealous of people who got to vote for Jamie Raskin.

Finally Rep. Raskin brings up the Brandenburg (sp?) history.
Lol the part about treating trump as if he's already a criminal. (He is.)

Um premeditated by Trump. Duh.

I am not sure about this 1A argument.

Ha! Chris van Hollen wasn't either. Please explain the answer given by the President's counsel.

Raskin & Plaskett for the win.

I'll take threatening Secretary Clinton with impeachment for 500, Alex.

As if she'd put herself through that again. By the way she won the popular vote. What a shame she wasn't President when the pandemic hit.

Even Leahy is tired of these questions.

Representative Castro is excellent. Highlighting Trump's dangerous attempts to subvert our election.

Jamie Raskin is a hero.

Senator Schumer recommends Congressional Gold Medal & standing ovation for Officer Eugene Goodman. Applause all around for the Capitol Police. Minority leader McConnell agrees.

Oh hell they're back in at 10 tomorrow? My npr plays wait wait don't tell me at 11. Thinking wait wait.
