Cassidy further joined in on his fellow Republican senators’ efforts to paint Trump’s second impeachment trial as a partisan attack by likening it to a “show trial” in the Soviet Union.

I guess that he’s fine with American show trials, then? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Apparently neither of you two lawyers can present a simple case that does not end up confusing yourselves. Trump is looking for any warm body claiming to pass the bar…

“I got news for ya, Mr Bot - ain’t no 45 or 50 senators around here to save your sorry ass.”

Senate Republicans are on trial in the Senate, and they are convicting themselves, as you’d expect.

Since Schoen withdrew the Sabbath “pause” request, you realize that puts everything on Castor for Friday evening and Saturday. Please, please, please go into Saturday!

In my less charitable moments (which I admit I’ve had rather a lot of in the Era of Trump), that ain’t the only place I’d like to see him kicked.

He can even be covered with some sort of gravy from KFC.

Don’t forget the room full of half-starved dobermans.

As a huge fan of the show, the movie is a little on the dull side. They had much better episodes. Outlaw is one of my favorites. The hero’s name is repeated 55 times in the first ten minutes of the movie.

“Cabot!” “Cabot?” “Cabot!!!” “Cabot…”

At one point during Castor’s remarks, the right-wing network Newsmax––which Trump had been watching throughout the day, according to a person familiar with his viewing habits––cut away to a segment featuring the ex-president’s former impeachment attorney Alan Dershowitz.

“I have no idea what he is doing,” Dershowitz said of Castor, shaking his head dismissively. “The American people are entitled to an argument… but this, just, after all kinds of very strong presentations on the part of the House managers… it does not appear to me to be effective advocacy.”

Republicans are like a battered spouse who refuses to leave their abuser. Trump will only get worse but they stick with him.
