Sen. Bill Cassidy (LA) — one of just a few Republican senators who has signaled he has not predetermined how he will vote on Trump’s fate in the Senate’s impeachment trial — said Thursday that wants Trump’s lawyers to explain the former president’s “inaction” to calls for support from law enforcement during the Capitol riot.
Shame we can’t hear it from the man himself.
Well, young man. You’re standing on a chair next to cabinet and the cookie jar is on the ground broken and there are cookies all around. How do you explain this?
I don’t want to get hopeful, but maybe Cassidy is part of a contingent that took “Blue Lives Matter” slogans at face value and is genuinely horrified that Trump callously left the officers in mortal danger.
What? Another lie? Feel like witnesses in law enforcement/ National Guard could answer that.
Cassidy is behaving weirdly spine-adjacent. I don’t want to heap praise on the man, but it’s notable that he’s to the reality-side of 85% of his caucus.
Cats, clearly.
To use Trumps words since he always projecting “He choked, he’s a choker!”
Cassidy: what about this?
GQP: Fake news.
Cassidy: Whew!
Cassidy told reporters he was concerned that while “panic-stricken” law enforcement were unable to stave off an attack from the pro-Trump mob, “the President was calling to try and get more senators to decertify the election.”
Chiselin’ Trump’s defense lawyers: “That’s exactly what the President’s goal was in getting the election decertified. You see, if the election were decertified, then the attackers would have backed off.”
If the cops had to die for the coup to succeed, that is just fine with Trump and his Senators.
I think that’s my favorite new term. Perfect.
That’s it. I’m going to talk to the management about making it part of the TOS not to talk mean about cats. 
What about the pleas from lawmakers themselves???
Questioning cookies is unconstitutional.
It certainly doesn’t bring the family closer together.
Gotta love this:
“Now, presumably, since we were at that point being evacuated and I think he was told that, there was some awareness of the events. So what I hope the defense does is explain that,” Cassidy said
I, for one, hope that if they explain that, they also explain why Trump was unconcerned for the welfare of Capitol police, and the trashing of the building. I mean, isn’t he the guy that loves blue lives and government property? Cf, Portland responses.
Just thought of this: Qookies.
Dear Senator Cassidy:
Donald Trump’s inaction was because he wanted his insurrectionist mob to take over the Capitol and end the certification of the Electoral College results, and he didn’t give a shit how many cops got maimed or murdered in that process.
You’re welcome.
Sincerely,
/s/
Man? do you mean the toddler?
