1. Your honor, I didn't intend to rob that bank.

It just popped into my at the last minute.

3. Attempted murder. Without a plan.

Yeah. What’s your point, Benji?

In this case, there was indeed a plan and intent to overthrow the country. But like most things Trump, it was poorly executed.

4. Intent and a plan are not the same thing.

He knew what he wanted. He didn’t care how he got it. Being selfish is no excuse

5. Either an idiot, disingenuous, or both.

I would always go with BOTH in the case of Conservative pundits.

Intent does not mean PLAN. Intent is a desire, intention, or determination to do something. Trump signaled his desire to remain in office CONSTANTLY.

Because he was ultimately incompetent and an idiot (like Ben), doesn't mean he did not have intent. It just means he was too stupid to actually pull it off.

6. I will believe legal analysis, not this piece of shit.

7. I've never seen someone get so much mileage from their rank incompetence than TFG.

8. He intended to be president when he ran in 2020.

Oh, I see. He doesn’t have intent when he’s doing something illegal. Wow, that’s a convenient defense.

9. Jeez...This is the intellectual giant

and master debater of the right.
