Showing Up To Riot

The Trump Impeachment: case for the defense

If it was up to me, I’d spend the full 16 hours replaying anti-Trump and BLM rioting, arson and assaults, punctuated with inciting and approving commentary by Democrat politicos and their media allies.

But that’s just me.

Update: an hour in and the best way to characterize the defense’s case is “cruelty against Democrats”. Rewatch it later if you didn’t pick it up from the beginning.

@ScottAdamsSaysTrump lawyers are bringing the pain. Finally. Damn, this is good.

  1. They likely won’t because conservatives always play nice in the political sandbox which is why they always find themselves playing defense.
    Trump’s lawyers better bring their A game today because from what I heard they’re no better than potted plants.

    1. I’d spend the full 16 hours replaying anti-Trump and BLM rioting, arson and assaults

      It’ll likely be ruled as inadmissible evidence.

    2. ” … because conservatives always play nice in the political sandbox …”

      In Canada it’s a litter box, and the Conservatives are too squeamish to go in with a shovel and fling out the turds.

      1. ‼ ‼ ‼ WRONG ‼ ‼ ‼

        They are not squeamish; they are some of the turds. They did fling out Bernier, and are in the process of doing the same to Poilievre, Sloan, and any other actual conservative after all.

        You keep losing, because you keep believing lies.

        When “winning” is more important that “principles”, it means the people in question don’t have any, and won’t be.

        1. “They did fling out Bernier”

          For the record, Bernier resigned from the CPC.
          Not a man to stand on principle,(’cause he has none) he lost the only seat that the PPC had, lost the election, yet did not resign and call for a convention like the real leader of a real party would do.

  2. If it was up to me I’d watch reruns of The Rifleman waiting for surrender monkey GOP idiot Senators who stood for this to vote.
    No wait, that is what I’m doing. And driving my car. Or going to the gym. Anything but pay attention to that debauched debacle.

    1. If it was up to me, I’d boot Biden out of the President Trump Whitehouse…
      Why do President Trump lawyers refer to President Trump as “non-sitting President” rather than what everyone else calls him as former President?
      Hmmmm.

  3. I want Swalwell brought forward. They, accused Trump of playing nice with the Russians, so turn it back on Swalwell, because I doubt many in the US who watch only MSM, have heard of him doing a Chinese spy. Also there must be a way of bringing in the Bidet/ Chinese file. Again. MSM has hidden much of the information from the US people… I see CNN is playing todays defense. So a great opportunity to get this info out.

  4. They won’t convict. They don’t have to. When the time is right they will find a way to settle their score with Donald Trump in earnest. Well-trained men are awaiting orders at this moment. When our masters are serious about administering their idea of justice, it is swift and final. Only fools and proles go to the courts.

    This is theatre intended to defame the president and write history to their own tastes and the tastes of their Chinese paymasters.

    Who was it said that under communism the future is certain and the hardest thing to predict is the past?

    1. ‘Who was it said that under communism the future is certain and the hardest thing to predict is the past?’

      Wow. Excellent words of insight.

  5. If they truly believed that the trial was unconstitutional and since Roberts refused to preside, they shouldn’t have even sent lawyers to argue a defense. The Republicans senators should have walked out and said call us when you’re ready to vote. Why dignify the proceedings?

    1. The rush to Impeachment 10 days before the media stated that President Trump leaving office, was to catch him in a quick Impeachment when they were expecting him to be sworn back in failing to realize that he did not have to.
      Around November 22, it was announced that President Trump would Constitutionally be in office another term. No need to get sworn in as he is just extending his term. President Trump office is secured. Just follow the game the media and Democrats played including leaving office temporarily as they would swear in Biden or burn down Washington. This Impeachment was also a problem had he stayed at the Whitehouse.
      So, he played this game knowing full well that his Presidency was secured.

  6. In two years, when the conservatives take both houses, Biden (or Kamala if she’s done in him by then) will be impeached. And hopefully every other Democrat politician. Justifiably.

  7. L -Instead of lawyers or RINOS, Donald Trump should have appointed Gina Carano to defend him !

      L – I use the warrior archetype in reference to the Impeachment fiasco, a media show trial?
      Try to keep up with the program, if you can.

  8. I guess you aren’t quite Mensa enough to understand the idea that the President of the United States should not send a mob to the capitol to lynch the vice-president and overthrow the government.

    1. All he wanted the Vice-president to do was put in a request for a time extension.
      He had already disqualified Biden and his Presidency was secured.
      This was a loyalty test only and now General Flynn will be the new Vice-president this term.

  9. Kate is right,
    they should use the entire 16 hours showing videos of Democrat violence ( BLM, Antifa et cetera )

    I saw close to a hundred short videos of BLM and Antifa’s violence last year,
    videos in which they drag store owners to the street to beat them unconscious, destroy or burn down MANY HUNDREDS of businesses ( Google it, they burned down many many hundreds of businesses, don t ask the media to inform you on that )
    , they also beat to death or shot a few innocent people.

    But that is not all, not only were Democrats such as Kamala Harris ENCOURAGING them, but many democrats and leftist celebrities PAID BAIL for those violent criminals so they could be freed and return to burning down buildings, pillaging and BEATING PEOPLE TO DEATH.

    There are hundreds of such short videos.

    The amount of evidence is GIGANTIC but of course the main stream media never showed you a second of it…or if they did, they said the perpetrators were Trump supporters, or some other lie.

    the main stream media is 90% lies.

    1. Turns out they did, and included footage that I suspect few who rely on msm had seen before — the vicious beatings, assaults on the Portland courthouse.

      1. Yep and if memory serves it was a federal building …

        the msm wants us to believe that leftists never attacked a federal building that only conservatives went that far.

        msm is 90% lies.

    2. Yes, but it wouldn’t scratch the surface.

      To do the case against the anti-American and anti-Western left justice—much less the case against powerful and wealthy men who have given it aid and comfort—they would have to re-hash the history of the western world since the French Revolution.

  10. CNN’s Jake Tapper’s response after the first session of the Trump lawyers, was to say one lawyer is only a personal injury lawyer and has a funny accent. That’s what passes for journalism in North America.

  11. The whole thing is a sham. I haven’t bothered to watch any of it. It’s pretty much been said there won’t be enough votes to convict. Trouble is, Dems have created a whole circus around Donald Trump, that they need to keep the boogyman front and center, they have nothing else.

    1. Remember when the media had a meltdown when President Trump was first Elected?
      I promise this will be 10 times worse worldwide in the next week or so.
      It will truly be epic as the media and politicians go into a totally TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!

      I NEVER make promises that I can’t keep!

    2. I doubt they can keep this up for 4 years, though. They’ll need to start a war, or sumpthin’.
      Kan-eh-duh is free. Easy, too. Barely break a finger nail and nobody will lift a finger, or voice a disapproving word.

  12. The talking heads at Blackie’s CBC are not impressed with what the defence lawyers said. Trump is obviously guilty because Blackie said he was guilty. Further Trump is guilty rants by their muslim bag over the head news host tonight.

  13. Just when I thought the house managers couldn’t get more disgusting, their lawyer accused Trump’s lawyers of being racist for showing black people in their videos.

  14. If the election actually was stolen, the founding fathers would have expected the populace to invade the capital with pitchforks and nooses at the ready.

    1. There is a provision on foreign interference.
      This is why we are about to be doing happy dances.

    1. 0:43:20 – 1:08:02 is the most effective section. Reveals the hypocrisy, the ‘fight’ section, and a summary at the end of a former Senator during the Clinton years, explaining why Clinton shouldn’t be impeached. You could substitute Clinton with Trump in that segment, and it would still fit the narrative against impeachment.

  15. When the Democrats introduced “The Big Lie” of Trump saying that the election was stolen, wasn’t that the time for the defense council to ask the managers to clarify why they think it is a lie? If you are trying to prosecute someone for supposedly spreading a lie isn’t it then up to the prosecution to prove it is a lie. If they introduce the Big Lie into their case, then they must substantiate it. If you can’t prove that it is a lie, then it must be the opposite, that the election was thus stolen. If the election was stolen they by the Democrats own words “People have a right to demonstrate.”. If that demonstration takes the form of the Portland and Seattle riots then how can you charge Trump with inciting insurrection? This fiasco taking place in Washington should garner an Oscar in the category of Show Trials of the Millennium.

  16. It matters not that the defence made a superb argument totally debunking incitement. None of it makes it to the MSM and they will continue with the untruthful narrative they have constructed and in all likelihood instigated with breach of the capital. The pipe bombs look phoney and they had provocateurs in the crowd.

  17. Democrats don’t know much about history….
    “To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public”

    — Theodore Roosevelt, Jr, 1918
