1. If he would just stroke out the nation would rejoice

Please get more upset, Donny.

Thanks.

[niyad]

51. Beat me to it!

[housecat]

53. I suspect he isn't human, or he would have had multiple strokes by now

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. LOL! Do you suppose he'll sack Castor now, too?

Not that he needs lawyers at all, since the GQP senators have already made up their minds - I guess jury nullification happens in Congress, too.

[PJMcK]

3. That's music to my ears! (n/t)

[TheBlackAdder]

45. I think I'll crack open a cold one.

[Eyeball_Kid]

55. The Castor issue is small potatoes.

The much bigger issue is the likely acquittal of Trump, again. This will be catastrophic for the future of the nation. And you know what?

The entire world is watching democracy crumble.

It's crumbling on LIVE TELEVISION. It's being broadcast all around the globe.

Dictators are rejoicing. Russia is peeing in their collective pants with glee. They finally realized their dream: WE WILL BURY YOU.

Believe me, I hope I'm wrong. But the GOP wants Trump to prevail. It doesn't matter whether they believe that they have no choice. It doesn't matter that they feel terrorized by Trump's worshippers. Their beliefs, their rationalizations, mean nothing. What matters is what they do. And what they are doing is protecting Trump, and preserving his opportunity to lord over them for the rest of his days. They are waiting for him to stage another political campaign, and to sweep over the nation once again. And THEY will be rewarded, or so they think.

Nationwide, the GOP brand will be trashed. More will abandon the party, until only Trumpers are left. It may mean that the GOP's approval rating will drop precipitously, but they don't intend on winning an election to get back into power. They intend to overthrow the government. And that attempt will occur sooner than we all think.

[StarfishSaver]

57. It won't be good. But it won't be catastrophic for the nation's future.

[wnylib]

59. There is another possible outcome.

The trial will reveal information that many Americans are still not aware of. And people WILL watch this because everyone saw what happened when the Capitol was attacked.

So when the American people see just how bad it was and how Trump and his inner circle were and are connected to the attack, the GQP will look pretty bad for not convicting him. There is the possibility that even more people will turn away from Trump and the GQP as a result. This is the outcome I hope for, whether he is convicted or not.

[bdamomma]

4. You bastard

scream some more, you angry cretin. Have an embolism.

[BlueStater]

5. He's angry again. What a shock.

Where the fuck is that stroke?

[DinahMoeHum]

6. You get what you pay for (middle finger raised)

[nolabear]

7. I'll just bet he was.

[dchill]

8. Ooooh! Somebody's not getting paid!

[Escurumbele]

36. They were not going to get paid anyway...that is why trump continuously loses lawyers

He doesn't pay anyone.

[UpInArms]

9. Awwwww .... poor liddle twitter less nutjob

I wish he would just die.

[birdographer]

47. It's not a great thing

to wish for, but I agree completely. If he simply no longer existed, so much of this mess would topple down. Even Q would be out of work. Everything would be better and brighter. How is it possible that a fat, old, junk food junkie just keeps plugging along while healthy and far better people are leaving the planet?

[getagrip_already]

10. It was written in sharpie!

Of course it was a series of dumb arguments. But it was HIS argument.

Now of course, it's someone elses fault.

What did his lawyers think would happen? So much for the theory you have to be smart to be a lawyer.......

[wnylib]

60. Castor was so boring and rambled

so much that I dozed off. Did not wake up until the vote was over, so I guess Castor did not impress some of the Senators any better than he impressed me.

[Orangepeel]

11. of course not. Castor kept saying the voters rejected Trump

[tanyev]

12. It's so hard to find good lawyers when you're a cheapskate seditionist psychopath.

[Solly Mack]

13. Trump's misery is a thing of beauty.

[wnylib]

62. Yes it is, isn't it? Warms my heart.

[OAITW r.2.0]

14. So why didn't Trump take this impeachment trial to explain why he won the election?

A missed opportunity. I'm sure there are all kinds of Trump cult lawyers that would have disregarded the House Case and just make another hi-profile Big Lie that he won the election. I sincerely doubt he'd have lost any more Republican votes then he did today.

[Poiuyt]

15. When the hell is he NOT screaming?

Just about every post about trump is how he is livid at someone, or furious, or screaming at people. The only time I ever saw him smiling was when he was with Jeffrey Epstein.

[birdographer]

49. Ah, no....

Not the only time! Remember when he was at some meeting or political event and his BFF Pootie showed up? Big friendly smile then.

[StarryNite]

56. That makes me sick to my stomach.

[ShazzieB]

58. Blerghhhhh!

[Poiuyt]

63. I stand corrected

I'm sure there were other times in his life that brought him joy – like torturing puppies in his childhood.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

16. Just think, Trump can't fire him!

He doesn't have a twitter account anymore!

[Nevilledog]

21. *snicker*

[KY_EnviroGuy]

17. Good, just keep him away from small children and animals.

I guess Donny will have to fly to D.C. and take charge.....


KY...........

[Thomas Hurt]

18. SOB doesn't even have the common decency to stroke out and end our suffering his existence

[crickets]

19. Boo hoo, donnie. Boo hoo. nt

[MyNameGoesHere]

20. He needs to scream until he strokes out.

[tinrobot]

22. And no Twitter with which to vent his anger.

Sad!

[Marie Marie]

43. Come on, you know that he was "air tweeting".

[FSogol]

23. Haw! I called it.

[Leghorn21]

24. Dis makes me sooooo HAPPY!!!

[napi21]

25. If they're smart thy won't answer their phone! Before Kaitlan even reported, I knew DT was

screaming at his TV & anyone near him about how these two lawyers are idiots. The problem is, he ca't fire them now because he doesn't have any replacements, & it woulkd probably be worse to not be represented at all. He's likkely pissed of at Lindsay Graham because it was Grahamho found these attys for DT.

Finally DT really doesn't have anyone to help get him out of the hole he dug!

[WHITT]

26. One Of The Legal Experts At ABC

said he has to be down in Florida throwing stuff at the wall.

[liberal_mama]

27. He's probably not going to pay Castor now!

[nature-lover]

28. Think he'll ask Matt Gaetz to step in???

[Oldem]

29. Castor didn't set out to do this pro bono, but

it'll turn out that way. dump will stiff him.

[onecaliberal]

30. Not much you can do with a lying traitorous pile of shit.

[doc03]

31. Trump will demand a do over nt

[fierywoman]

32. Calling Matt Gaetz, calling Matt Gaetz ...

[Buns_of_Fire]

33. Obviously, DonJohn is just going to have to go to Capitol Hill and defend himself.

It shouldn't be hard, especially since he knows more about the law than every lawyer who ever existed, combined.

[DesertRat]

34. He needs to defend himself

Come on, Donnie, make your case to the American people under oath. The ratings would be Huuuge!!

[Blue Owl]

35. C'mon Donny, blow an artery!

[Aussie105]

37. For someone who likes the attention, what is Trump(Q) trying to hide

by not speechifying his case?

Trying to hide he is incompetent? No, we knew that.
That he wanted to rule the USA as a hereditary dictator monarch? No, we already knew that.
That he loves some dictators and shares pillow talk with one of them? No, we already knew that.
That he incited an insurrection on Jan 6th? No, we already knew that.

So what is he hiding?
Oh yeah, he wants to avoid the consequences of all of the above!

Too late, Sir!

[LudwigPastorius]

42. His lawyers would have a hard time explaining why he's refusing to testify, but going on TV...

and bloviating about how innocent he is and how wronged he was.

That's OK. Once the GOP shitstains in the Senate acquit him, then the tsunami of indictments and lawsuits can proceed.

[thenelm1]

64. Maybe because at the end of it all, he's just an abject coward?

He wants others to fight his fights for him. Was there ever a documented case during his admin that he fired someone to their face? Or was it all by underlings or via tweet?

He has no appetite to face his accusers or opponents face to face in front of a camera. And never will. He'll scream, holler & bluster from afar - but like most bullies, in the end is a total coward!! As the titular head of the pubbie party he could do just that to the lower beings of the party, and get away with the bully boy BS. (Only a very few "profiles in courage" in that crowd. Most are still cowering in fear of him.)

The one time I remember of him going face to face with Pelosi (the one filmed for national news consumption). I think he thought he was going to put the woman in her place, but she would have none of it and made him look like the fool he is. Then he believed his own BS and thought he could easily browbeat and trash "sleepy Joe" in the debates. Again he came out looking like a fool. He knows that unless he's in a position of total advantage or control it's not going to end well for him, and will not willingly put himself in a position to be publicly confronted and questioned by a knowledgeable/determined opposition. He knows full well that, in the end, he hasn't any kind of valid defense for his actions. As is so typical of a bully.

[llmart]

38. This is where that old adage comes to mind...

"you get what you pay for" (or don't pay for).

[LudwigPastorius]

39. Impotent rage...

Mwahahaha!

[AC_Mem]

40. I think that he should

absolutely come and represent himself.

Please! (Can you just imagine!)

heeee

[sarge43]

41. Snowflake.

[BigmanPigman]

44. His voice falls into two catagories...

Screaming and yelling to his pals or whispering and speaking in a soft voice. Which one is the real fucking moron?

[Ilsa]

46. Who in trump's inner circle is reporting on him? nt

[iluvtennis]

48. Who cares, it is what it is DonTheCon...

[trixie2]

50. You guys are killing me

[WyattKansas]

52. Well... Castor did seem like he was throwing in the towel and admitting tRUMP was guilty...

While trying the:
'So can't we just all get along and just move on without thinking about who was actually behind the attack on the Capitol, because people get very angry when crimes happen and prosecutions are under way for those who were actually in the attack.'

[ecstatic]

54. In fairness, I was screaming at his "lawyers" too

For trying to deflect and white wash over trump's terrorist attack on our nation's capitol.

[Hekate]

61. Poor baby

[BobTheSubgenius]

65. OH, to be a fly on the wall. Then commit fly suicide by flying into Il Douche's mouth.

Die happy.
