Trump, McConnell Clash On Trial Approach | Talking Points Memo

You know, McConnell needs to be really really careful on how the trial goes – and this might prove to do him in if it is blatantly unfair and preferential to the Fat Fuck.

Absolutely agree. McConnell will have to walk a tightrope.

And Donnie will have to navigate a minefield – especially if he testifies.

I assume that Pelosi has carefully studied history, including just how nasty confederates are. Lincoln extended the war by two years by not (initially) pursuing the war aggressively. The Democrats tend to be constrained by basic norms of behavior.

Sure ! Don’t you ever watch TV Lawyer shows ?

The defendant always gets to choose which witnesses who can testify at his trial !

Trump wants a Cartoon Show.

Let’s give it to him:

Make him testify under oath.

The people who enable Trump include those government officials who take for granted that Trump cannot be compelled to testify under oath.

This includes the entire Republican Party.

Petey Williams should go back to just making shit up and leave real journalism to the professionals.

You still won’t get 2/3 of the Senate. And McConnell will likely tolerate it if a few weak incumbents fold (in return for even tighter control later). Given that he’s got his tax cuts and his POTUS picks, he doesn’t even care if Trump gets swamped and he loses the majority, as long as he gets close and can lasso in DINOs like Manchin. Even if the next POTUS gets a SCOTUS pick, it will like be to replace Ginsburg, so it doesn’t make much difference in the grand scheme of things. He could even go eight years, unless we learn there is a God and that he can dispense massive coronaries to evil people like Rapey Brett the Beer-Belly and can cut deals with Beelzebub to make Clarence “Pubic hair in my coke!” Thomas decide there is more money on the wingnut gravy train. It is worth hoping that Rapey Brett kicks off early but Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Roberts are all in good health. (I can’t see Thomas being sloppy drunk.)

I totally want the Bidens to testify.

However, I think it would be far more pertinent to have Obama testify since Biden was simply following his policies.

I think he’d be marvelous at telling all those Republican reprobates exactly what’s what and where they can all stick it.

Honestly, I’d pay money to watch that.

'Trump has privately made clear to advisers that he prefers a dramatic event ’

Maybe he want Pelosi to hand him a rose?

Maybe we can get 45* on American gladiator?

FIFY

I wish the mainstream media would treat 45* and the GOP like ignorant children. Well, I guess they kind of do - every time 45* says or tweets something they shake their heads with a ‘kids say the darndest thing’ expression.

Like children in the sense of the adults going about their business and the kids (no matter how spoiled they are) relatively clueless.

[Trump] prefers a dramatic event

While he hides.

But Spanky wants his circus!

He may really impress everyone with his presidential behavior if he doesn’t get it.

How’s McConnell going to convince him to behave, even a little bit?

Oh please, please, please. Bigly-brained Orangefurher in his infinite stupidity truly believes he knows how to do this, and with the stakes so high, he may just insist on calling the shots. That would be a delicious irony; nothing would have a better chance of bringing him down.
