When the video was played showing the thugs inside the Capitol and surging in unison

in an attempt to break down the chamber doors, they are chanting something that, I swear, sounds to me like "Sieg Heil!"

I know that's not what they are chanting, but what IS it they are saying?

"But where are the clowns---

Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here"

Judy said it better, but it does seem appropriate after watching Trump's counsel today.

About Trump's "dissatisfaction" with his attorneys---in fairness to them, you can't give your

cook a roadkill possum and leftover Christmas haggis and then complain when they can't produce chateaubriand and cherries jubilee.

In a televised interview. Senator Coons said one of his female Republican colleagues was

READING A NOVEL instead of listening to the Democrats' presentation.

Does anyone know who this arrogant Republican---"lady"---is?

I think she should be made very "famous"!

Schoen was slated to speak first, but Castor stepped in at the very last. "Why" you ask?

After hearing the Democrats' presentation, Mr. Schoen --- uh -----decided at the last minute to ---uh--- wear a different pair of --- uh--- slacks, so--------Castor had to "answer the bell" on Trump's behalf.


Yup! That's it!

( Jeez--- I feel so dirty! )

When asked, Mr. Castor commented "I think we had a pretty good day!"

I wonder how many moons orbit his world.

What color is the sky there?

Practice saying this: "It doesn't make any difference!" ( idmad )

"The House Impeachment Managers made an overwhelming and passionate fact-based presentation while Trump's clown's meandered around for hours without rebutting any of the Democrats' facts or citing any recognizable authority for their "unconstitutional" assertion." ( idmad )

"No decent sentient human being could have been unmoved by Raskin's passionate soliloquy". ( idmad )

"Castor spewed word salad and Schoen spewed irrelevant legalese while threatening "more violence by Trump supporters". ( idmad )

"No senator who takes his oath of office seriously could acquit Trump!" ( idmad )


I think if the "faint-heared forty four" can be forced to see Trump as so toxic that he poses a political existential threat to them PERSONALLY, that MIGHT make a difference (tmmad ), but even that might not be enough to convince them that a vote for conviction is not quite the same thing as blasphemy.

Your honor, we concede that bills of attainder are bad poo-poo. We will further concede that so are

trial by compurgation and execution by impalement.

We will happily make additional irrelevant concessions if they will shorten Mr. Schoen's stream-of-consciousness presentation.

If only Trump had hired Castor for his last impeachment trial, Joe might have been elected

the 47th POTUS.

So far, the most charitable description of Castor's "argument" is "Palinesque". nt
