America is the richest, most powerful country in the history of the world and I think we could do a better job with hiding those two doors.
I am running for president on the platform of "give the Oval Office a Deco, mid-century or Brutalist overhaul."
Honestly a Brutalist Oval Office would own. Two concrete benches for visiting heads of state. Two windows at the opposite end, one foot wide by six feet tall.

It keeps turning out that various terrible things which happen under Republican leadership are actually the Democrats' fault. washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…
My man, you should turn off Fox News for a bit and ask actual residents of those states like myself how things are going.

“Winners are people who are willing to lose.” - Kellyanne Conway, prepping her daughter for her American Idol audition

Of all of the goofy pretend-this-is-a-normal-trial machinations around this whole deal, the "that's not in the record" tug-of-wars are the goofiest.

Everyone knows where this is headed and that the coming votes are utterly unbound to the constraints of the presented evidence.
Sen. Cassidy: "what convinced me was that katrina pierson said that thing, i'm voting to convict"
Staffer: "but sir!"
This is also why getting the Herrera Beutler statement in evidence added no value.

One can just imaging the Trump attorneys sitting in a room (probably with the Cruz crew) just throwing random names on a whiteboard.

"Biden!" "Yes, good!" "Hillary!" "Right haha yes!" "Soros!" "Right!"

Castor notes Trump's 2:38 tweet about supporting the police and staying peaceful. Castor does not mention Trump's 2:24 tweet castigating Pence, which protestors at the Capitol then read over a bullhorn, riling up the crowd.
Broadly, Castor is arguing that the Jan. 6 speech couldn't be the trigger for the violence given the timeline. But that's *their* constraint. The article of impeachment points out that the day was the culmination of months of incitement about the election.
Why are all of these videos produced like low-budget action movie trailers?
