The ridiculously political impeachment trial of President Trump begins today at 1:00pm with a four-hour open session debate on the constitutionality of impeaching a former president. [Livestream Links Below]

What a p-/:y…
You aren’t listening. He is building the case.
i hope he is mocking them, by saying why are you afraid of the american people, you just were voted in by them…
Trumps first lawyer was a snoozefest. The 2nd one is bringing the pain though!
PREACH!
that video was enough to impeach all of those people.
It will be interesting to see if the Rep Decepticons will maintain this is a legitimate proceeding. Collins, Murkowski, Mitch, Sasse, Twoomey, etc are going to be on the hot seat.
I did like when Trumps first lawyer brought up the fact that what this sham trial is really about is that the global progressives fear both former President Trump and the American people. Makes it clear that they know they cant lead as president Trump had.
Just a FYI:
The 1st lawyer, Bruce Castor, is a Republican.
David Schoen is a Democrat.
Because they know they weren’t! Fraud got them in power!
i think the delayed impeachment to make sure they had their own Senator as the Chief justice role. sick domestic terrorist traitors.
Is it just me…or does President Trump’s attorney remind any of you of the Public Defender in “My Cousin Vinny?”
Well, in that movie he accidentally won his case too.
NO, the PD was fired by Maccio’s friend’s character…after a HORRIBLE opening and some direct and cross examination.
Vinny won it in the end.
The Public Defender was funnier. But just as effective as Castor….
content removed. And warning by admin. Stop the crap or get moderated.
I wish I could remember what was posted.
Former Antifa Activist Reveals Their True Agenda
Sounds like we need some good conservative news on telemundo and univision to reach more people especially the younger generation
Somebody please tell me Castor is not the best The Real President Trump has got….if so he’s toast.
He doesn’t seem to be a big fan of President Trump, this is crazy.
Wow! The 1st Trump lawyer was an embarrassment. Maybe there was psychological reasoning. Be calm, reasonable, and deferential.
#2 is bringing the pain. And laying out the lack of jurisdiction.
Maybe a case of good cop/bad cop?
Did this @$$#@+ just concede that the election system worked and Biden won!?!
Please, someone tell me I misheard.
Nope, you heard right. Unreal.
yea but with a hint of mockery. He said why would you be afraid of the american people if you just were voted in.
Well, Castor finally offered something significant.
His point about the 14th Amendment gives the fence sitters an excuse to acquit.
They can acquit and then go on the Sunday morning talk shows and say that they thought Pres. Trump was guilty on some counts but they had to acquit because of the way the House wrote the charges.
Castor gave them their political cover.
“If you fence-sit, you must acquit…” 🙂
How about some help here. There are thousands of videos clips connecting Antifa and the BLM to the Democrats. We can call it their greatest hits!
with every tool owned by them , except the majority of the american people … THEY STILL CANT BEAT US.
but we still have a majority standing army as We the People and we are seeing them as DOMESTIC TERRORIST
Good gravy Marie….he essentially just legitimized Installed Puppet Biden’s election.
Exactly! I was just going to say the same thing!
“The people know how to get rid of an Administration, and they just did” WTH? Trumps attorney just this?
President Trump chose this lawyer because he wanted to employ ‘The Sominex Defense’
Lol!
Horrible. Trump’s lawyer sucks. At this rate sad to say it is all a show. They will vote to convict in the end. That is why the troops are there.
After they convict they will strip his benefits and secuity protections.
Travesty. Insert ugly crying face
What’s really sad is that a good portion of leftists want to see Trump dead and that’s no joke. Not fighting and losing security while the left drums up hate is not good for personal and family security.
yep, the hatred is wanting death of him. not a loss. they somehow symbolize him as the disrespecful American thinking he can resist surrender to capturing of this country.
Agree.
All I know is, we have NOT heard anything, live, directly from PT since the 6th of Jan. Only GOP reporting things he supposedly said.
Now, I am wondering if he even had a say in the attorneys.
Why is he incommunicado completely?
No, I do not believe it is by choice.
Not direct communication, but this article was posted on TGP yesterday; Greg Kelly of Newsmax said he golfed with Pres. Trump on Sunday.
Popular Newsmax host Greg Kelly told his audience on Monday that he spent the weekend in Florida and golfed with President Trump on Sunday.
Kelly told his Newsmax audience, “I can’t go into too many details because it was off the record… President Trump, spent some time with him yesterday on the golf course and can tell you this. His spirits are high, he looks great and he’s on top of everything, everything. This guy does not look like he’s retired. Maybe some day I can tell you a few more details.”

BS …he won’t be convicted
If they do that, they won’t be able to leave the dc fenced area without worrying if they will be……..it’ll be a living hell for them.
With friends like this who needs enemies.
maybe he was the handshake, and Doug is the knife
Isn’t calling Democrat Senators “patriots” an insult to them? They are proud of their hatred of this country.
One basic trial tactic is buttering up the jury a bit. Usually at the beginning, by telling them that they are now part of a centuries-old tradition of trial by jury, and how important it is for them to hear all the evidence and arguments..stuff like that. Can make an impression with the usual collection of citizens from the community, but not really necessary here.
its like telling a pedophile that children are our country’s treasure,, and the nod in agreement (not seeing it the way we do)
Castor must be a big fan of 1960’s tv crime shows.
good point, that probably pissed them off
Why am I being moderated? Have I said or done something wrong?
I have been moderated as well. Glad to know someone else is wondering…
its a glitch or update most likely. Make your first assumption that this place loves commenters! its the best starting point for this place. Others places suck so most likely they are doing something annoying, not here!
Antifa’s sympathizers are ‘whitewashing’ violence: Andy Ngo
This may be a bit unpopular…but if this is the best President Trump can…or is willing to do…perhaps we were all had…perhaps President Trump was part of the controlled opposition.
Otherwise…I dont understand President Trump’s opening argument…by his chief attorney…on national TV…arguing the system worked…AND Biden won!?!
I still say Trump opened the Yellow pages with his eyes closed, and called whatever number his finger was on.. Some dope answered his call
AAA Attorney at Law in the yellow pages?
Most here have been wondering that since he first started talking about 45 minutes ago…
does impeachment matter? if your answer is no. then… fck it.
Assuming for argument’s sake…even if impeachment is meaningless…what purpose does it serve President Trump’s 80 million voters…to say the system worked and Biden won?
In what universe does that make sense?
The United States is a mess right now.
yea that was a sick statement from him.
Maybe President Trump should fire them at the last minute and say ” Impeach me Mother F’rs.. how you like that turned back on you?”
The one where it demoralizes the 80 million
If Trump is convicted he and his family lose ss protection.
The People are about to run off every traitor anyways. There is no way we lay under this rule. you and I both know the tipping point is at the middle pendulum right now.
The People were literally within grabbing distance and did nothing, so no, that moment has passed forever.
Antifa was within grabbing distance.
I would assume Trump would watch a rehearsal of his attorney presentations and review their presentation notes. But this seems like an inexplicable black pill.
Believe you me, it is unpopular. However, anyone with deep critical thinking skills would have looked at all of the scenarios of PDJT’s victory in 2016.
Was Trump allowed to win in 2016? With Trump, we came so, so close to actually stopping America from being shoved over a cliff, and then in short order, everything was turned upside down as we were thrown off that cliff, and a bunch of Americans are royally pissed. Now the Communists have the predication for pissing all over the Constitution, in the name of protecting Americans (them) from 70 million+ pissed off people.
It’s just a theory, but a lot of things never added up, and still don’t. If they wanted to steal the 2016 election, you can bet your bottom dollar they would have. And you don’t think this entire phony drama isn’t scripted?
The thought that President Trump was part of the controlled opposition was in December 2020.
The budget bills had been passed on December 23.
The President has 10 days from the date of delivery (day 1 deemed to be the day after the bills are received.) Hence Day 1 was December 24.
The President COULD have held the bills and vetoed LATE on day 10 – January 2.
The House AND Senate would then have just hours to repass the bill with a veto proof majority, with 11:59 pm January 2 a hard stop as the new Congress was sworn in on January 3.
INSTEAD, the president vetoed the bill on December 26, giving the House and Senate plenty of time to re-pass the bills with a veto proof majority.
Why make unforced errors like this?
Can this Trump Attorney be in even the top 80% of said attornies?
His listing was between $hit and shingle..
Because he doesn’t know sh!t from Shinola!
Hahaaaaaaaaha!
Again, this shampeachment kangaroo court only highlights the need for a third party. Had the Republicans any intestinal fortitude, they would have fought like he$$ for their leader and President. Nope, they have been waving the white flag for 4 years. Bunch of corrupt, two-bit sissies.
President Trump has fought for us by himself, and has been consistently betrayed by his own Republican Party. Thank goodness he has an army of 75 million forgotten people backing him and praying for him.
Perfectly stated. I believe there were no attorneys willing to fight for him and acknowledge the fraudulent election. Sadly, they promoted the thinking that Beijing Biden won. Saying nothing would have been better than pushing the lie;( Cantor really got me when he ‘praised’ Holder. Ugh!
Yep.
OMG…that was the WORST…thank G_D he is done!
Mr. Castor, no, he was not removed by the voters. You’re as much a liar as the rest of the vermin in that chamber.
Violence, arson and looting ‘incited’ by Democrats and ‘whitewashed’ by media
This lawyer Castor reminds me of Mr Haney from the old Green Acres TV show.
You must be as old as I am.
Mr. Haney.
Wanna but a nice used pocket Constitution?
Which one is Arnold the pig?
None.
Arnold was the smartest one in Hooterville.
this guy should have started out, that other guy should have not even spoken….
David Schoen to talk about jurisdiction. Castor said they changed the order of the presentation because the House Managers made a great presentation.
Unforced error, there. Maybe Castor’s presentation would have fit better after Schoen’s, but he should not have complimented the House Managers or admitted the defense had to scramble the order of presentation.
my lawyer statement would be ” i am here to negotiate your surrender. I ask you now to stop your treason, and end your usurpation of this land, and I promise you peace in poverty. But if you do not listen to these words, I will step aside, from the wall if have blocking the People’s anger, and may God have no mercy on you.”
+100
I like that!
Yes, I thought the first rule of lawyering was to never offer information that wasn’t required. Complimenting the great presentation of the house managers sounds like an unforced error implying guilt if they aren’t able to refute the presentation.
Otherwise, who cares about a bombastic presentation by the prosectution. It demonstrates guilt or it is just entertainment, and the defense appearing to acknowledge it was a direct hit is mind boggling.
I’m thinking something happened to Trump in talking to the Senators during the 2020 impeachment trial. Trump might have agreed to do what THE TURTLE told him to do, and senate would not convict him in 2020. After the impeachment trial Trump never seemed the same to me, during Covid-19 he stepped back and just allowed the 2 doctors to step forward, and allow them to do whatever they wanted.
Maybe Trump has no choice but to step down and bow out.
If he didn’t compromise with the Senators in 2020 , he would have been impeached and removed over the PERFECT phone chat.
Does anyone here think Trump’s lawyer is presenting Trump’s views and approve of this lawyer?
They need Trump to say it was a fair election.
This is about nothing else but that,
They gave him 2 chances before the impeachment, but he wouldn’t do it, I stead he made vague referrals to an administration.
Even if he said it, so what? We all know it was NOT a fair election and there is a mountain of evidence to show it. Everything is backwards and I am tired. I am really shocked at the lack of fear of God in these people. I don’t know what His will is for the present, but they have piled up for themselves condemnation after condemnation.
Every time you or I brought up election fraud, they play a video of Trump saying Biden won fair and square.
We’re about to find out if Trump cares more about the country or himself, if he’s convicted he and his family will be stripped of secret service protection.
He had his own security prior to being elected. As I recall, some bruiser named Keith was his personal trusty bodyguard and he wanted to keep him in the WH, but was told, no. He can hire better protection and more loyal protection. Just think all of those operators on the circuit–gotta be some who are loyal and keep their mouths shut.
his response was ” my voters will not be harmed”
Back then I always thought he made some deal to beat the first Impeachment.
Because I was surprised he beat it after they Manipulated the rules
So out in the open to start with
Trump must have known what was coming with the big cheat, steal, treason…
Perhaps he saw and realized the actual operating government is bigger, meaner, and more in control of the country than he/we are. Perhaps he saw the depths and totality of usurpation.
It could be that no one and I mean NO ONE had any understanding of the depth of corruption within the 3 letter agencies. Possibly Flynn did, but we know what happened there.
I refuse to watch this garbage.
Does this guy work for the CIA too?
Canstor is awful. What the heck is happening? Crowder has me nervously laughing.
David Schoen is excellent and passionate in his presentation.
Unfortunately he is going to leave the wimp/disaster in charge of the closing argument. I cannot even imagine how President Trump must be feeling at this moment.
hoenstly if u want to weaken President Trump – you acquit him. And you have Biden do it. he steps out and says for Unity I will let this criminal go, dont ever say I wasnt a fair man.
that would be my evil play – if i was them
Trump can always tell Schoen to do it. Depending on how well the closing has been planned out, Schoen might be able to pick up the ball. Castor is, among other faults, just not a very good public speaker. At least the House Managers noisy histrionics kept the senators from falling asleep.
All I can say is Matt Gaetz would ha s been better!
Schoen is somewhat better, if only because he’s a better public speaker than Castor. And he is making a good point on no temporal limits on impeachment, according to House: How far back in time can impeachment go if a Congress wanted to bar a former office holder from future office?
Bruce Castor is a light-weight and a horrible attorney. He was a “politician” in Montgomery County, PA and stunk there as well.
These types of lawyers used to advertise on the covers of the Yellow Pages in the old days.
Why did the first guy even speak?
He wasn’t supposed to go first, but the idiot actually admitted that they reversed the order of speakers because the House Managers did such a great job . Yeesh. Schoen would have been a better starter. A trial team starts off with the best speaker and arguments, to make a good strong impression. I hope Castor is not allowed to speak any further.
Wethal, Did they do a great job ? I missed their part
Castor is the one who said they did. Yes, really. In his presentation, he tells the jury how great the other side’s arguments were.
Even speaking second…what he had to say was HORRIBLE…he conceded Biden won a legitimate election…after hearing what he said…why have him speak AT ALL.
What Shoen said is true: that Congress can forever impeach President for anything if they have they way.
That is what House Speaker Pelosi, who is 80 and hopefully doesn’t have many days left, wishes–that her beloved House and the Speaker of the House, which she plans to be even in her coffin, rules over any President, Dem OR Gop OR MAGa.
“There is no argument. I have no idea what he’s doing. I have no idea why he’s saying what he’s saying.
The American people are entitled to an argument– a Constitutional argument.”
@AlanDersh slams Trump impeachment lawyer Bruce Castor’s impeachment arguments.
Have not watched/listened, but to judge by the great preponderance of comments her, this Castro is a greater disaster than the Hindenburg and Titanic combined.
Throw in Mt Vesuvius erupting as well…and you get the idea.
Please let us all join hand while they recite poetry!!!
Wish I could remember an article I came across a few days ago warning about him. I didn’t want to believe it…sigh.
Politician Lawyers and Politically connected Lawyers protect each other regardless of Party Affiliation…..This is why Trump’s lawyers look/sound inept….I keep telling you about Lawyers, especially Politian & Bureaucrat Lawyers….They are unethical and corrupt…..All the D.C Law firms work with each other….It’s a billion dollar industry…..They all meet up at the same Bars for drinks and that includes the Judges……
Lastly, 75-80% of all Lawyers are registered Democrats…..Also, did you see the 24 Judges that stepped down over the last few days to ‘Allow’ Biden to appoint new ones???? Interesting, huh…
Unfortunately, congress is full of lawyers as well. I think we should run away from electing anyone with a law degree. I said this to my husband years ago (a lawyer). He’s beginning to come around.

“Scenes from today’s Impeachment Trial” ?
https://patriots.win/p/12hRCLQFa2/scenes-from-todays-impeachment-t/c/
CM-TX: Pretty much captured everything.
One can only hope that this is an Art of War ploy – when you are strong, appear weak….
A warroir is supposed to demoralize their opponents…not their own side
IMO, it can’t be. You don’t strategize to have the jurors think you are guilty, in order to later disabuse them of that notion.
I really have to seriously consider the first lawyer a lib or a never-trumper.
Trump’s first team parted company. Apparently the lawyers thought the constitutional arguments were the strongest case, and Trump wanted to get into the election fraud. It appears the second team is going with the constitutional argument after all. Trump had as hard time finding lawyers as he likely is having finding banks that will do business with him.
When you have a good legal argument, you make the substantive evidence secondary, and lead with the legal argument. Don’t get into the weeds of this incident or that fact if the whole proceeding is illegitimate, especially if the proceeding has strict time limits.
Appreciate your knowledgable comments on this!
Appearing weak is the one thing we have managed to do to perfection. Castor is the culmination of 4 years of bad personnel choices all rolled into one. In a sad way I guess it’s kind of fitting.
democrats are trying to return us to British Law
Uh, more akin to sabotage, IMO.
Time will tell….
LOVE^^^^^
Cancel democrats!
Not watching this sheet show.
The Constitution only allows for impeachment of a sitting President.
And the outcome won’t have any effect on MAGA.
What is happening, is the creation of a pissed off underclass of Patriots.
This sham only hardens our resolve.
The Left canceled all the effective lawyers.
Castor sucks. This one speaking now should take over the case. He has made some amazing albeit obvious points. Castor is a jackass, not even an intelligent one.
Isn’t Castor Miss Lindsey’s friend?
Trump should fire Castor mid-trial right now
Contrary to the slick Hollywood-produced video of the rowdy crowd at the Capitol;
the fact is that it was the most polite riot ever recorded.
No statues were torn down. No buildings were spray painted with vile slogans. No cops were beaten to death with pitchforks and shovels. No historic artwork & paintings inside were sliced & diced. No trash cans were set on fire. No police cars were attacked & overturned. No war memorials were covered with buckets of red paint. No politicians were taken hostage. No businesses were looted or destroyed. What the heck kind of riot was that?
I am truly happy to see so many here refusing to watch this 2nd SHAMPEACHMENT. I stand with all of you! I thank those who watch so I know what I did not miss. In this case, I prefer the CliffsNotes version.
This is an utter abomination of the law and a total waste of everyone’s time. It is NOT what we paid these people to do in D.C. They disgust me one and all.
SPIT.
Just reading the comments here tells me it’s not worth watching.
Not that I would watch anyway as my TV has been a unplugged dust collector since 2019.
I know The Lord has his own timing, but if there is ever a time when his intervention is needed it would be now.
Prayers everyone who prays, prayers.
Always praying!!
I am not only praying, I am lighting candles to all my favorite saints like St. Jude- patron saint of the Impossible.
Not a Cruz fan (my Senator) but couldn’t we find someone with his legal and oratory skills? Listening to him is riveting; holds your attention and nails the point with precision. Unbelievable that this is the best we got.
Ted already disowned the President and is positioning for a potential run at TX Governor in 2022 to set up 2024.
If there was going to be help from a congressional critter it would have come from one of the House killers from Impeachment 1.0. I suspect President Trump may have waved them off, for their own good.
Doc….found the reason for the moderation problems. Fixed….you should have no further problems. 😀
Phill Kline did a magnificent and very passionate job discussing the massive election fraud he and his team on the Amistad Project had investigated and uncovered. That is who Raheem Kassan suggested.

Cops clash with BLM and Antifa protesters in ugly scenes outside White House
Wasn’t Castor the weak link the first time around, for Iimpeachment 1.0?? If I recall correctly, he was worse than useless during the House hearings as well as Senate trial.
Remember the A-Team quit and you can be sure the “blackball” word was out for anybody stepping in to help. So, the president was left with the C- Team. I also suspect he declined help or worse was not offered help from his few friends in the House from Impeachment 1.0.
This might be the D or F team.
I was being kind…and do not always condemn folks forced to take on work that is way over their heads.
Reminds me of the scene from Movie Ft Apache, when Henry Fonda asks one of the Sergeants to test some illegal whiskey, after taking a taste the sergeant says, “its better than no whiskey at all”.
With ulterior motives, perhaps.
Lolli….just found the reason for the moderation. Fixed…you should have no further problems. 😀
I don’t think Castor was even involved in the first trial. And the first trial had a team of all-stars. Trump had a hard time finding lawyers this time, and his first team for this trial parted company with him, apparently over strategy. To be fair, I’d guess that Trump is not the easiest client to represent.
I clearly remember him speaking at the House Hearings. I may be wrong on the Senate Trial.
