Bruce Castor’s meanderings at the start of the impeachment trial

Posted By Rod Kaufman

That maskless character in the cartoon could very well pass for Rand Paul, arrogantly sitting maskless at his desk while doodling at yesterday's impeachment proceedings. Trump's lawyers and Rand Paul and his fellow GOPers. They would have championed Marjorie Taylor Greene, too...

I've been checking Fox from time to time to see what the comments from the average Trumptoid might be specific to the impeachment trial. The main theme, supported by multiple "likes", is that the trial is unconstitutional because, in their view, congress doesn't have the "authority" to determine what is constitutional!

No, not when you have co-conspirators like Josh Hawley kicking back with his feet up on his desk reading a magazine while he's supposed to be an impartial juror...
PS: It wouldn't surprise me if he was reading a comic book...

The Dems need opposition. They certainly need to prove Trump should be convicted.
Since we have two or more parties in place along with libertarians and independents, there's potential opposition from multiple sources.
If what you saw today isn't proof enough, then you're right in there with Hawley and the rest...

The evidence against Trump is damning, overwhelming, and obvious to anyone but the most hard-core partisan.
"obvious to anyone but the most hard-core partisan" Obviously Greg and Mel in this quarter...

"Justice Department says an Oath Keepers leader waited for Trump's direction before Capitol attack"
"The Justice Department is now making clear that a leader among the Oath Keepers paramilitary group -- who planned and led others in the US Capitol siege to attempt to stop the Biden presidency -- believed she was responding to the call from then-President Donald Trump himself."
"This is the most direct language yet from federal prosecutors linking Trump's requests for support in Washington, DC, to the most militant aspects of the insurrection."
The Greg and Melvin response: Evidence? We don't need no stinkin evidence!

Marjorie Taylor Greene has cleared it all up. According to Marge, Trump supporters weren't even at the capitol. So, if they weren't there, how could Trump incite them?

Partisan? Do you know what Senator Rick Scott has been doing during his service as a sworn impartial juror at the impeachment trial? He's been filling in the names of  asian countries on a map of Asia. It's no wonder Republicans are talking about forming a new party...
