I'm going to say it has more to do with the retainer required... and the two lawyers not accepting cheques.

Can't the Dems call Trump as a witness at the trial? Not sure if they would want to but I believe you only need a simple majority to agree to call a witness. Or is he considered the defendant and can refuse being called to testify?

My Trumpkin neighbor seems to be following through.

His condo is up for sale and he is flying (today) to Ecuador to buy a house.

He told me it was because Biden won.

My neighbor moved to Costa Rica when Obama was elected and moved back when Trump was elected. Not sure his plans now that Trump is out but his house is also for sale.

I feel like taking him off the streets will prevent him from causing further harm. So yes, he should be looking at prison time. He committed violence using the mob as a weapon and his words as the trigger that set it off.

He'll like it there. The current President ran on a campaign of leftist policies, then abruptly changed his policies to be more right wing after he was elected. He's also trying to subvert the constitution so that he can stay in power probably indefinitely and milk the country for all its wealth. So very on brand for a Trump fan.

You keep acting like this is all about sending Trump to jail and "getting justice" and multiple posters keep stating, directly, that this is about preventing the completely f'd up event that just happened at the Capitol

Do you not agree that this is about preventing the completely f'd up event that just happened at the Capitol?

While you may be correct that some people "want justice" and to see Trump in jail, others are more interested in preventing such a horrible event from happening again...That has nothing to do with political motivation. It has to do with an interest in preventing loss of life in terms of the violent event that transpired and the broader implication that a President's behavior actually matters, lest you care not for the fact that if something like that happens again, anyone, anyone can blend in with that crowd and blow themselves up at any number of points during said event. Any one of those in the mob could have pulled out weapons and slaughtered every politician in the building. People were literally chanting some disturbing things that implied a desire for further violence. People had weapons on them. Cops were beaten with the American flag. People had plastic cuffs on them. Others were trampled to death. Hundreds of people sustained injuries. Someone lost an eye...

It would be nice if action was taken so that the very person who catalyzed it is never given the chance to repeat history, and precedence set for all in the future to not feel so emboldened by the lack of consequence for someone who wields so much power. That event could have been much, much worse than it turned out to be. Some of those members of Congress actually thought they were going to die that day and no longer trust other members of Congress as well. I would argue that if he had been convicted in the first impeachment, or removed on day 1 for what he's been in violation of from day 1, the Emoluments Clause, then none of this would have happened, no injuries, and those 5 people would be alive today

So Trump voters are moving to Hispanic countries to get away from Biden ?

Seems like there's irony in here somewhere.

I can at least appreciate that, for once, they're practicing what they preach

"If you don't like it, then you can leave!"

Fees — not just strategy — blew up Trump's legal team

LOL

They all wanted 20k a day.

Once Rudy was reported to be getting $20k/day all the reputable lawyers wanted $50k/day minimum.

These guys know Rudy ain't getting paid, right?

Been noticed before, during the infamous bleach speech you can see the stupid bastard working out that drinking bleach may kill COVID-19 and thinking that he is more intelligent than the rest of the people in the room

Yeah it’s really pretty amazing. He actually didn’t know that pretty much any virus or really any living cell can be killed with extreme temperatures, acidity, chemicals etc. I’m guessing someone gave him a study that day about experiments done to confirm equipment/surface sterilization procedures and misunderstood how unremarkable it is that wiping a surface with bleach eliminates risk of covid transmission. Dude was in charge of the largest pandemic response In the richest nation in history and didn’t know that killing a virus on a surface is totally different from getting a persons immune system to fight it.

Gotta love the spelling mistake on Page 1 of Trump's response to impeachment.

Well, presumably you could put a hamster as lead lawyer in there and hang a sign on it that says "unconstitutional!" and he would be acquitted.

So haggling over the price of his defence seems warranted.

It would be kind of amusing if he got someone super cheap who went in and literally presented the Chewbacca defense.

How I feel with no Trump twitter:

And no Lin Wood, either...

Pro-Trump Election Conspiracist Lin Wood Investigated Over Possible Illegal Voting

Wow.



The best part: this company apparently provided software and technology ONLY in LA County. Nevermind the rest of the country.

Nice touch... the lawsuit intro begins with "The Earth is round. Two plus two equals four."

This guys whole ****ing life is satire. Unreal.
