Good News everybody! Best news this morning. Lets see what happens.
I’m suscribed , but here’s text if needed:
Former President Donald Trump’s lead impeachment defense attorney Bruce Castor said he will use video clips of top Democrats inciting violence during the coming impeachment trial.
Castor said the defense team will adhere to the strategy outlined in the brief they submitted to the Senate on Tuesday.
The Trump defense team argued in the brief that the Constitution “requires that a person actually hold office to be impeached” and that Trump was exercising his First Amendment right of free speech to question the results of the November election.
The impeachment against Trump goes against the Constitution because Trump doesn’t hold any office after he left the White House on Jan. 20, the lawyers argued.
Castor revealed that the defense team will use some video clips of top Democrats encouraging violence during the impeachment trial which is scheduled to start on Monday.
“I think you can count on that,” he told Fox’s Laura Ingraham. “If my eyes look a little red to the viewers, it’s because I have been looking at a lot of videos the last couple of days.”
Castor noticed that some Democrats nationwide cheered when the rioters were burning down the cities and attacked the federal law enforcement officers last summer in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd.
“Many of them [Democrats] in Washington using really the most inflammatory rhetoric as possible to use,” he said. “But here when you have the president of the United States give a speech and says ‘you should peacefully make your thinking known to the people in Congress,’ he all of a sudden the villain. So you better be careful what you wish for.”
During his Jan. 6 speech which later became the focus of the Democrats’ impeachment against him, Trump told his supporters: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
It’s unclear which Democrats’ remarks will the Trump team cite during the impeachment trial.
Amid the Black Lives Matter protests, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) said there should be “unrest in the streets.”
“Make the phone calls, send the emails, show up,” she said in an interview with MSNBC’s “AM Joy.” “There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there’s unrest in our lives. And unfortunately, there’s plenty to go around.”
Won't the presiding juror rule against showing those videos?
Childish mind! All trials were dismissed without at least one testimony be heard and you are still believing in your childish approach that Trump will be still prevailing in a legal manner. You're still looking like this is a fucking Blockbuster, not even beeing able to throw popcorn towards commies, while they are arresting all real Trump supporters. God helps only those willing to help themselves, fighters no pussies.
You've got a couple downvotes, one of 'em is mine. I didn't downvote you for the sentiment of your comment. I downvoted you because that was the worst written comment I've ever seen on here. I mean your English is really bad. Go type that into a translator in your native language, and then just copy and paste the translation here. It might not end up perfect, but it'll be a far sight better than that garbled pile of word salad you just posted.
Bless you for the laugh this morning! It was 3am when I posted the article so I went back to sleep, just woke up to the guys reply.
So, Pence did not allowed the Trump electors to speak, in the most important congress session and, in your naivety, you still hope for an honest hearing. Looks like I will go laughing to bed, and crying same time. Trump waited too much forgetting the profound thinking is the action's death. Best is the enemy of good. In 4500 years of written history, no intelligent guy won a fight in front of the violent guy. This is the inconvenient of lacking general culture. You lost the start, you have no ideea of what you fight against, but you still think you are hot and still in battle. Communists will eat you alive in the next three months. I told you three weeks ago what they are on to. They did exactly that. Until the final decision of impeachment there'll be nobody to help Trump. Many will be in jail, fled over border or reduced to silence by threats or cowardness. All the world trysted you, hopping you'll reject hard the fraud, but you pussies doomed bus all. Why the fuck you destroyed violently dozens of counties for the same thing you don't fight against in your own yard? And I am hypocrit? What makes you that? Coward demagogues..
I upvoted you and got your point pretty easily: Trump is not going to win the impeachment battle playing by the rules because the senate (both democrats and republicans) do not give a single fuck about the rules. (Lower case was intended to show lack of respect).
