1. Of course Fox is covering this.

And reinforcing the Big Lie for the cult.

[underpants]

2. Like the old Notre Dame football highlight show

We move to action in the second quarter...

No need for you to see how the score changed.

[mia]

3. The new Calvary

[Lars39]

5. Heh...yep

[C_U_L8R]

4. I'm out. They're crazy and corrupt.

I can't listen to these shitheads anymore. There were some real laugh out loud moments but mostly it's just sickening. Maybe I'll tune back in after my sense of humor returns.

Whatever the outcome of the impeachment, I'm looking forward to the criminal indictments the States drop on these clowns. They can't rig every jury.

[IcyPeas]

6. Maxine Waters.... the squad

[Lars39]

7. The Big lie that he was impeached after he left office

[dchill]

8. He was impeached after he mentally left office.

[davekriss]

65. That would be January 20, 2016

[IcyPeas]

9. fight fight fight

[JohnnyLib2]

10. Manipulation of language going on here....

"Fight" being redefined for the masses

[Wawannabe]

11. FIGHT THE RIGHT

FIGHT THE RIGHT
FIGHT THE RIGHT

Well. I guess we r fighting!

[Wawannabe]

12. SHIT!

I think they will just simply play this fight loop for the remainder of their time.

[Lars39]

13. Well, they are into brainwashing

It’s stoking trumps base, too

[JohnnyLib2]

18. Absolutely.

The Trump loyalists I can see on Facebook are loving this

[Politicub]

14. The gigantic gaslight

They are attempting to redefine the meaning of words and twist the definition of facts.

They know the difference between rhetoric and incitement. This is calculated, and will be reinforced by the senators’ questions to follow.

It’s a reminder of why the last four years were so agonizing. This gaslighting was happening every day.

[JohnnyLib2]

15. Orwellian distortions of language

Hitler did it
Trump did it
Fox is broadcasting this crap

[Politicub]

20. They accuse the prosecution of editing video, and now the defense

is showing a carefully edited supercut.

[Lars39]

16. Three more hours of "fight"

No video of Capitol violence so far

[Mersky]

21. Yep, that's what they've got

It’s abusive and gross.

[Lars39]

25. And dangerous

I’m snickering a bit, but knowing it is being showed on Fox....

[Mersky]

35. It is a dangerous and wasteful fraud being committed

It will take me so much time to go through and undo as much of the deceit as possible with the two tRump supporters in my family who I’ve decided can be swayed... over time.

I would like to send cruz the bill for the hours and weeks it will take.

[Lars39]

39. My immediate family are all Dems, it's

the Southern Baptist branch that is too far gone to reach.

[Mersky]

44. My immediate family and friends are all Dems, but my father is proudly a never-trumper

Who detests cruz and didn’t vote for tRump in 2016 or any republicans in the 2020 election.

Now, getting out from my inner circles, I have chosen two family members who surprise me and I want to understand where their racism and misconceptions are seated. Haven’t been able to have face-to-face discussions with them, because I don’t want to argue over mask wearing while I’m trying to protect my immediate household’s health and safety.

[Mersky]

17. Ugh, is very different when you're telling doomsday prepper gun nuts to "fight" over the BIG LIE

[dweller]

19. This shit is childish

This is a defense?


✌🏻

[IcyPeas]

22. so now is every politician never going to say the word "fight" from now on

in case it's used in a soundbite

[Lars39]

23. They finally got to Hillary fighting lol

3 more hours of this crap?

[underpants]

27. They are working towards it

[Lars39]

29. Oh, yeah

[IcyPeas]

24. here come the BLM protests

[underpants]

28. There was a flash of that earlier

When they mentioned the whole cities being destroyed

[bdamomma]

114. or how

about their "little green men" kidnapping people of the streets in Seattle was it???? Sorry this is a different topic.

[IcyPeas]

26. "Look there is a strategy here: teh goal is to make the proceedings look foolish..."

Link to tweet

[PRETZEL]

30. WTF,

is this clown defending the actions that Trump was impeached by claiming that he actually won the election?

I'm in another room so maybe my hearing is just that bad.

[UpInArms]

31. Dear dog

Did he just blow a kiss?

[IcyPeas]

32. when are they going to mention Pence?

[Lars39]

33. I'm betting they won't at all.

[IcyPeas]

38. and when are they going to talk about the Capitol?

and show some of the video from that day? just wondering?

[dweller]

37. They think he's

dead at the Capitol

✌🏻

[IcyPeas]

40. all those democrats who used the word "fight" never stormed the Capitol....

at least to my knowledge.

[Lars39]

34. Van Der Veen is back!

[Wawannabe]

36. This guy's scorn is gonna be the end of my ability to continue watching

It is boiling my blood.

Get behind me SCORN demon!

[IcyPeas]

41. wait, they are repeating their own videos? that's all they got?

[Wawannabe]

42. Just replayed that cut vid of Ds using strong statements

BUT

BUT

BUT!

NONE of the persons in that video was COMMANDER IN CHIEF when they said what they said.

This is so wrong on so many levels!

[live love laugh]

43. "You all know the rest..." No read it ALL!!! (The oath of office) nt

[IcyPeas]

45. van der lawyer said "incitement to resurrection"

"incitement to resurrection"

Link to tweet

[Wawannabe]

46. And....

I’m out!

[EndlessWire]

47. How is this addressing

what Trump did? You can't incite a riot.

"At some indefinite time in the future?" WTF??

[dpibel]

48. Somebody missed "prior restraint" in law school

"Congress shall make no law" means you can't prevent people from speaking.

It does not, remotely, mean that the First Amendment protects the speaker from the consequences of speech.

[EndlessWire]

49. Good point. n/t

[Greywing]

53. I just can't believe what I am hearing from

these "lawyers" this has absolutely nothing to do with the First Amendment.

[Lars39]

50. This is excruciating

[EndlessWire]

51. Trump went to the rally that day

to gin up a physical insurrection. He wanted the Capitol overrun with the mob. So, he lied and lied and lied.

He doesn't have free speech rights to incite an insurrection.

[Mersky]

52. Exhibit F: He said peacefully that one time, & his trial by combat lawyer is an angel

[EndlessWire]

60. Context is immensely important.

You can't invite a mob to DC, rile them up, and then state that you will march along with them to the Capitol, and then say, "Oh, I didn't mean it that way."

He was on site, urged them to march, and told them to fight. A lot of what his attorneys are saying is lifted out of context.

[Mersky]

67. Is ridiculously out of context

That they carved that clip to twist and push their hollow defense. It’s all they’ve got really.

[EndlessWire]

68. I'm sure it satisfied Donald.

He probably told them how to do their jobs. The first 5 quit. I would like to know more about that.

[Mersky]

70. Well, has all been flashy and stupid, so am sure it

meets his golden toilets on carpeted planes standards.

[EndlessWire]

112. LOL! n/t

[IcyPeas]

54. oh, now it's Fight Like Hell..... totally different

[fishwax]

55. they just keep playing the same shit again and again

[fishwax]

78. lol -- and there it is again

[PRETZEL]

56. And the "Fight Like Hell" clip is back

Can't wait for the break and hear the talking heads laughing out loud at this.

[nolabear]

58. It's like the book report where you have nothing.

So you say the same thing over and over and over...

[PRETZEL]

59. +1

love that analogy.

[Lars39]

57. Another Dem fight loop

[dweller]

61. and thankfully a break

wonder if a fistfight breaks out in the rec room ?

✌🏻

[Lars39]

62. Is he closing?! Yes!

[Lars39]

63. 15 minutes break

[DeminPennswoods]

64. Cruz and Hawley and Graham helped with this?

Perhaps Ted and Josh are entitled to a refund from their law schools. As for Graham, all JAGs must be about now.

[Wawannabe]

72. 15 min break

Was 40 minutes

[Wawannabe]

74. Sorry. Meant to reply to op. nt

[underpants]

97. I was just out in the snow and I thought of that

Cruz Lee and Lindsay advised on this mess????

[DeminPennswoods]

115. Otoh, maybe they designed it for the audience of 1

nt

[IcyPeas]

66. some of the clips they are showing were on Hannitys show recently:

Link to tweet

A number of these clips that are in this presentation have been on Hannity’s show the last few evenings. This was the top of his show on Wednesday:

[andym]

69. Much easier if Hannity and Tucker do their work for them.NT.

[IcyPeas]

71. New on @MSNBC : Ted Cruz visited the Trump defense team's room during the Senate break.

[Lars39]

73. They're back!

Castor aka Matlock wannabe

[Wawannabe]

75. 15 min. Equals 40 min??

40 minute break

FIGHT ! in the halls? In the men’s room? Ladies room?

[Lars39]

76. Trump's the most pro police anti mob president evah

[Tommy_Carcetti]

77. Castor is slightly less douchey than the other two but just as pathetic and clueless. nt

[Lars39]

79. Showing the law and order clip again

[Greywing]

80. What the hell was that? A campaign video?

[IcyPeas]

81. law and order

[Lars39]

82. Schumer "....released the whirlwind"

[nolabear]

83. Thank god we're not doing a repetition drinking game.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

84. The Radical Republican Reich will repeat the propaganda until their alt-facts replace reality.

[JohnnyLib2]

86. They have, they are, they will.

Sickening

[Lars39]

85. The lawyer is trying to talk southern a bit.

[Lars39]

87. Castor...I don't know if I'm under oath here.

Good grief

[Wawannabe]

88. Ohhhhhhh!

[Lars39]

89. Damn, basically called the house managers criminal

Dog whistle bonus....showed clip of Neguse.

[Wawannabe]

90. Was the stay peaceful post on Twitter?

Or Parler ????

[BarackTheVote]

106. Castor said the House Managers didn't show that Tweet--

they did. And they made the point that by the time Trump said “stay peaceful,” the insurrectionists were no longer peaceful and hadn’t been for several hours. What Trump did not say in his Tweet was “leave the Capitol building immediately, it is not lawful for you to be there, depart or you will be cleared out.”

Castor lied. He lied a bunch of times in his last arguments.

[IcyPeas]

91. gee, it's almost as if they are omitting some facts

[Efilroft Sul]

92. Would a second thread be the real deuce?

[underpants]

100. Emoji at the end

Is dropping the kids off at the pool.

[Efilroft Sul]

108. ker-PLOP!

[Wawannabe]

93. They just threw their supporters UNDER THE BUS!

Wow wow wow

[IcyPeas]

94. that montage didn't help the defense

[Greywing]

95. So now Castor's arguing the GA election was rigged?

WTF?

[JohnnyLib2]

96. Probably at Trump's insistence

[Greywing]

101. I just find this absolutely incredible ... not speaking to the matter at hand

Now telling Senators and Congresspeople how to conduct the business of the nation. I'm angry at this POS

[Mersky]

98. Call your senators, now!

We can all see the ruse taking place in the Senate today. Now is the time to let your Senators know you are watching and want them to convict tRump:

All the numbers can be found here: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215099395

[Wawannabe]

99. The racists rest

Their case and they are in recess.

[underpants]

103. Thanks. I was out playing in the snow.

[Lars39]

104. Huh CBS must lag a bit

[Lars39]

102. The trial is really about canceling 75 million votes and silencing

Republicans. Gah

[Wawannabe]

105. They rested because (I Believe)

The meeting last night included a very certain number of Senators with Rs next to their name will be acquitting.

Yes. They were assured and just needed to poke the fuckin bear a little bit. Bear=me...

[malaise]

107. Q & A coming up n/t

[underpants]

109. YES! We have a Qanon & Aholes thread

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215099839

[malaise]

110. WTF?

The President doesn't know what time he heard about the breach - hearsay?

Castor is a lunatic

[Mossfern]

111. Answer the fucking question!

Yes, this demure little old lady is fed up.

[EndlessWire]

113. He just can't claim immunity.

He wants to incite a government overthrow, then claim that his prosecution for it is just for political show. Phooey.

He still walks away. Others are going to jail.
