Can someone please explain what’s up with this guy- every time he takes a sip of water from his bottle, he puts his hand on the top of his head. He just did it about 5 times.
Is it some kind of secret signal??
I’m not sure, but I think it’s either a hit-and-run or a suicide-squeeze.

They added another Brutus—CAssidy of …of all places, Louisiana.
My wife and I keep asking the same thing. Maybe he wears a rug, and forgot it, so it’s a habit to hold onto it.
I just saw this question elsewhere. Answer here:
Observant Jews say blessings and cover heads before/while eating and drinking. Usually they have head coverings like a yarmulke
Thank you for the information.
I didn’t know that. Interesting.
I still think it’s a squeeze play.
If you’re the guy on 3rd base, you better hope the batter doesn’t know about that practice.
Thank you very much for the info! I was worried there for a minute.
Thanks! I also wondered. Now I am obsessed with his watch. Looks like the time is wrong or set to a different time zone. (keeping my mind occupied while listening)
Thanks, that explains it.
Possibly just nerves. I doubt he’s used to national television.
He is reaching for his yarmulke to make sure it doesn’t slide off his head.
He forgot he isn’t wearing one, but muscle memory is deep.
Thank you!
Jewish perhaps….?
You can bet there are many signals thrown out to many when they sip the tainted water laced with drugs.
He doesn’t want the Q anon earpiece falling out of his ear, so he’s being real careful.
For those actually interested: Observant Jews say blessings and cover heads before/while eating and drinking. Usually they have head coverings like a yarmulke but I guess he felt was important to do something
He probably has a problem with his neck. Before I had surgery for bone spurs in the spinal cord area in my neck, I couldn’t tip my head back when I drank anything. I held my head steady just like he does.
Or I used a straw.
He’s an orthodox Jew, and must cover his head when eating or drinking.
Since he wasn’t wearing a head covering, he covered his head with his hand while he drank.
Ah, I see it was answered below.
And he kept rocking back and forth from side to side for much of his presentation.
I got dizzy watching him and had to lay back, shut my eyes, and just listen.
He is a religious Jewish man. I believe it is part of orthodox tradition to cover your head after drinking or eating.
At President Trump’s request, the Dems agreed to not have the trial on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath. I assume the attorney asked for that. After which i and others asked why stop for the Jewish Sabbath but not for the Christian Sabbath, and voila, the trial will continue through both Saturday and Sunday.
The one saving grace of this mess so far (other than Schoen seems to be making some good legal points), is that this whole proceeding is a disorganized, boring mess. The histrionics of the House Managers and the rambling snooze-fest from Castor are a stark comparison to the first impeachment.
People may tune the whole thing out and wonder why we are doing this more than a month after the DC rally/riot? Trump left office quietly, didn’t he? Isn’t the pandemic more important? How about those $2000 checks Biden kept promising everyone? Why are those soldiers still there at the cost of millions? Bet this gets as low ratings as the recent Not-So-Superbowl.
While low for the SB, 96 million watched it. No way even 2 watched this commie show trial.

I actually think that the senate should convict and remove the president. Send him back to Delaware.
? ?
Impeach the guy that said “If the prosecutor is not fired, you are not getting the billion dollars”.
I feel like Schoen is knocking this out of the park.
He absolutely is. This is the only part I have, or will, watch.
FAST FORWARD TO 2024…
They will tell us that even though he wasn’t in office for the last 4 years, Trump can’t be elected then, because he was legitimately elected in 2020 and isn’t eligible for a third term.
Hey. It makes as much sense as anything else these nitwits have come up with.
Found the reason for the moderation. All is fixed….you should have no further problems. 😀
Thanks! 🙂
I am not following this travesty.
My suggestion is that DJT soon put out a video announcement that he plans to seek the Speakership of the House after the 2022 elections, but does not plan to run for a House seat. This will force every R running in 2022 to declare on the issue, and also help primary challengers to Rs like Cheney.
DJT would be the first former President ever chosen to lead the people’s House. (Polk held the position prior to his election.) He could justly claim quite a place in history, having won both positions “closest to the people,” despite 2 farcical “impeachments,” which have made a mockery of our Constitutional process.
DJT can decide later whether to seek the Presidency in 2024. In the interim, the Speaker has a LOT of power, as Pelosi’s daily misuse and abuse of it demonstrates. Imagine Biden or Harris, Pelosi as minority leader, and Shumer/Mitch in the Senate needing to deal with DJT heading the House with the purse strings.
If the present clown show results in an alleged “conviction” and a ban on holding “future office,” DJT and/or the House members who elect him can challenge and overturn the sham result.
That would be DELICIOUS!
Did I just hear that Senator Cassidy from LA vote to Impeach?? If I heard the vote correct, he better be opening up his medical practice again, because he is DONE in this state!
the second Cassidy won his primary (after begging PDJT to campaign for him), he swung hard left. People are very angry in LA over his drift to the democrats. I wouldn’t put it past him to vote to impeach.
He voted to proceed to trial, rather than dismiss the whole proceeding right now. He could still vote to acquit.
TiredinLA, I Hope so, what on earth is wrong with these so-called republicans? You better keep an eye on Steve Scalise too. No democrat used harsher words to castigate Trump just hours after the Capitol incident than Scalise did. We know he supports Lizzy.
I am completely baffled why Trump would hire an attorney like Castor. It makes no sense at all.
to spend time with his election lawyers.
God’s sake he made it sound like the election was legitimate although i think it was just a poorly worded phase.
yep , its fascinating to watch them call it legit, when its so obvious mail in ballots never made it to the people to vote themselves.
Probably because he can’t be boycotted since he has no other clients.
His job was to warm up the crowd like a comedy show. All I heard was a muffle of double speak, platitudes, empty statements. Hey he’s from Pennsylvania, he must be auditioning for the soon to be empty Senate seat….he’ll fit right in with that crowd. I hope Trump sends him a couple Mar a Lago golf balls and a MAGA hat for his efforts.
Castor wasn’t supposed to go first, but said he switched places with Schoen after hearing the House opening. This is not something you tell a jury, by the way. Schoen would have made a much better, stronger lead.
His water drinking is a distraction.
Castor Oil and Schoen me the Door….Trump could have done better.
Is this the the matador defense…because the outcome if fixed? Then just get on with the vote then. This has an appearance of a Ms. Lindsey hearing of never getting to the bottom of it.
”Taking back my time.”
He had no choice. These two attorneys were the ONLY ones who would do this. And I am not guessing. It was discussed this morning, i think on The Epoch Times
Even if a NEW MEGA person is elected , the impeachment process would neuter the new president, this worked for the Deep State with Trump. We are screwed. At least we know it now. The Deep State can rig the election, they can use FBI/CIA/DOJ/MSM/Hollywood and both GOP and Dems to cancel any person that is PRO-American in the future. Nobody is defending the average American Legal Citizen! (We did elect Trump but it was CANCELLED).
Is this country a socialist country now, or what name would you use to describe this country, not a country OF THE PEOPLE, FOR the PEOPLE, who decide who gets elected. The Deep State decides. The Deep State took out Sanders (2x and Sanders laughs all the way to the bank), and they took out Trump (and are now trying to cancel him, and go after him with lawfare.
Deep state will get theirs….eventually…lots of ways to draw our pound of flesh, they’ll get theirs, one way or another.
Paraphrasing, but at one time, early on Mao said he would conquer China. Reporters asked “How, when Nationalist Chang kai chec controlled the military, the media, the government, etc. He said “you fight your war (your way), I’ll fight mine (my way).
To adopt their tactics, WE would run MAGA candidates, who would LIE on the campaign trail, running as RINOS, or even depending on district or State, as a Democrat.
THATS what THEY do, after all,…
This is the best idea yet. But we’d need to find really good actors (liars) with either a history of RINO / GOPe ideas and comments, or no history of political comments.
Most MAGA people have unabashedly tweeted and commented over the past years in full support of President Trump and against the establishment.
I’ll be your huckle berry
Hopefully…

Anyone know why Dersh isn’t part of Trump’s team? This Schoen guy has good facts but presents them way too fast. He’s speed reading! He needs to slow down and pause here and there to make sure his facts sink in. Repeat them a few times for them to sink in. But this rushing to get it all out is just a mess without form or force.
His “shall means shall” argument does that. His prior arguments weren’t as forceful. He doesn’t have the force of presence or presentation that Dersh has. Why does Trump always pick such less able people??
Dersh didn’t want to take part this time. And too many of Trump’s former law firms bailed because their other clients threatened to take their business elsewhere if the firm represented Trump.
Restrictions against that kind of behavior need to be added to ABA’s ethics code. I know, I know, ha. But that’s exactly the kind of tactic that denies people legal representation, and is absolutely counter to the Constitution. In that light, it should actually be against the law, period.
We are in serious doo-doo, with the legal system being set back to medieval levels of fairness.
Thats a good thing
Dersh sucks.
Controlled opposition
I’m listening to him on the radio now and he is
So careful not to criticize
The traitors.
Another obvious fraud
Sidney Powell or Lin Wood would have taken the case !!!
Why does Trump always pick such less able people??
Trump would pick a mule to run in the Kentucky Derby. It is like he handicaps himself just to make it fair. Well one thing for sure, all Trumps accomplishments with MAGA has been done with a load of turnips. Trump reminds me of the 90-year old woman. She was slow, but she was carrying a washer-machine on her back.
People get their lives threatened when they go on team Trump. That kind of cuts down on the pool to draw from.
So.. When the s.c finally rules the ELECTION WAS STOLEN!
Bite me can say he can’t be impeached because he was just a private citizen when he purposely destroyed our country.
They must know.
Things will never be like they were before.
Because We Know.
Because We Know.
We Know We Are Ruled and They Fear us.
I don’t get the sense that they fear us at all…….I think the signaling to us is that we should fear them.
They are few.
We are many.
Signals Away…
Oh no no no
The fences in DC say it all!
Well said!
Trumps’s two opening attorneys apparently fail to understand that they are participating in a reality show. Ironic, isn’t it, that they are representing the man who enticed America with the Apprentice.
Gentlemen, get to the meat. This is show biz. This is not a courtroom….
Yep, but then again the left like a good show trial.
YOUR FIRED!
tomorrow another set of IDIOTS.
Yep, quick to the point and say it over and over and over again. Stay out of the weeds!!
Something like ” since the chief justice is not presiding this is not legal and the whole world knows it “.
This guy is doing a decent job. Does it make any difference? The outcome is known: about 53 senators will vote to convict – including Romney and Sasse. Short of the 2/3 majority. The same number will vote to preclude President Trump from ever seeking office. Dems will claim that only a simple majority is needed to bar Trump from ever holding office again. There will be conflicting opinions of the validity of that ban. Pres. Trump will need to try to get SCOTUS to rule on the conflict.
So we only need 11 of the 21 justice’s. Cool!
Yes, I expect Trump would got to SCOTUS, even if he’s not sure if he’d run for president again. The recusal (or not) of the Trump appointees should make for some interesting arguments. There’s no way to force a recusal. If someone won’t, then they won’t.
IMO, Trump wouldn’t run for President again… at 78. Why? So he can re-do all he did from 2017-2021?
The Dems are not trying to stop Trump from running in 2024. They are trying to stop Trump from returning to the WH as the lawful POTUS in the next few months. They know he won. The only proper remedy is for Trump to be restored to his position as POTUS.
The Dems/Rinos are actually attempting to “obstruct justice.”
Perhaps we are about to witness something historic that has never happened before.
Collins, Murkowski & Toomey just voted with the Dems so add them to those two turncoats. 🙁

Alan Dershowitz has “no idea” what President Trump’s defense team is doing, particularly lead attorney Bruce Castor.
https://www.newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/bruce-castor-senate-trial-alan-dershowitz/2021/02/09/id/1009330/
But Dershowitz declined to participate in this impeachment.
Dersh is controlled opposition
It’s a good thing he is not involved.
Got it.
I read awhile back that Dersh initially seemed to want to defend Trump, but then later said he was only willing to argue Trump’s case if he were suing the Senate at the Supreme Court on the impeachment being unconstitutional. (Can’t find a link to it… sorry.)
I get the feeling he is willing to defend the Constitution issues, but leery about seen as defending Trump himself, esp with all the pushback he got last time. Here’s a current quote from him about his mixed feelings:
https://radio.foxnews.com/2021/02/09/alan-dershowitz-part-of-me-wishes-i-joined-trumps-impeachment-defense-the-second-time/
Dershowitz said he would represent PDT before SCOTUS to have the impeachment trial dismissed as unconstitutional … but he would not be involved in any impeachment trial defense b/c he wouldn’t lend legitimacy to it.
I agree.
VOTE ON THE RECORD!
WE SEE YOU!
Movie being made. Insurrection Day. It’s a clown show, Billy Crystal plays Castro.
castor
Who does Juan Castro play ?
with himself.
Collins votes for a trial.
its very strange and nauseating to hear some of these morons do the emotional distress call of the wild.
these are not strong people…they are weak..and weak minded.
I mean when I am in the woods and I hear those kinds of sounds, I get all giddy. knowing a good feast is coming my way.
ok seriously though…this emotional bullshit is way way way oversold.
the gap is narrowing
these idiots just have no idea what is coming..
Collins vote yes?
She didn’t vote for Rand Paul’s motion to dismiss, so that’s not surprising. I doubt anyone expected Trump to pick up six more votes to add to Paul’s 45.
good call. do you think the courts a place to settle things still? being a lawyer and seeing how they follow the law…
I think of jury trials the way Churchill described democracy:” the worst form of government…except for all the others.” Jury trials – the worse form of litigation, except….
Murkowski votes for a trial.
Romney votes for a trial.
Sasse votes for a trial.
Sasse, Toomey, Murkowski, Collins, Romney,
The same five Republicans who voted no on Rand Paul’s motion to dismiss.
The same five who vote against Trump no matter the issue! NO surprise here!
The vote was 56 to 44. Who is the 6th?
toomey
cassidy….oh lord is he going to get rolled here in Louisiana!
oh the pain.
In this case, we all already knew what was going to come out of Ben Sasse.
Murkowski voted for a trial
Sasse a YEs – Gauntlet.
Toomey votes for a trial.
David Schoen is excellent in representing the facts, texts, laws, history, relevant to the lack of Senatorial Jurisdiction.
I can’t afford him, but if I could, I would.
he did very well.
but that emotional burst towards the end was strange..dramatic…definitely human…but maybe it’s just me, but that poem he recited is so obscure, I can’t relate to why this would cause a grown man defending a president of the united states to start a ballfest.
otherwise, it was an excellent rebuttal of EVERY SINGLE THING THAT JACKWAGON RUSKIN put forward.
RATskin…..on what freaking planet would anyone make the claim ANY of this is bipartisan?
why am I upset…I know these people are incapable of telling truths.
so, I’m going to settle down.
until I don’t.
and that seems to be the state of the union right now.
these idiots are pouring gasoline in an open fire…right on their own doorsteps.
they
just
don’t
get
the seriousness
of
the
conditions
oh well….they will learn…the hard way
At least there are 37+ nos…preventing the 67 needed for a conviction.
unfortunately the trial is NOT over.
what they voted on what a motion that Rand Paul was successful in getting into the trial. What they did was establish a vote on that motion. This was not a vote on impeachment for a verdict.
In this particular vote, according to the “rules”..the vote has not effect on proceeding with the trial. It is pretty much an empty vote in terms of what it actually accomplishes. But do not blame Paul…He stood alone pretty much in the house to force a vote on this. And of course, they would wait until the very end and quickly get it over with before taking the night off.
For certain you can expect the house managers to quickly dismiss jurisdiction and the constitutional questions tomorrow…”see we got a majority vote on that yesterday”.
but you can bank on this vote ratio to predict the outcome too.
I am deeply frustrated and angry with cassidy….he completely missed the entire picture here…he gets zero points for attempting to give this impeachment any credibility “by being objective”…of how he is going to get an royal ass kicking here back at home.
I would watch this farce but violence is now frowned upon in America for some reason.
Dress up like Antifa and violence is encouraged
This whole thing is a complete FARCE. By their own actions, the Democrats demonstrate that they implicitly agree with the commonsense interpretation that impeachment and conviction is NO disbarment to elected Federal office. Representative Alcee Hastings was a Federal judge, appointed by Jimmy Carter, who was impeached for BRIBERY in 1989, convicted by the Senate, and removed from office. Nevertheless, this scumbag has been a serving Democrat member of the U.S. House of Representatives for nearly 30 years and actually sits on the Judiciary Committee.
ok, thinking about what is happening right now, this part is 4 hours to appease THE TURTLE so they go no further with the impeachment process. It would stop after these lawyers stop to take the vote to impeach or not impeach. So, if things go to Trump’s plan, they will not impeach Trump because his lawyer said what the GOP wanted him to say.
Now, if the Turtle stabs Trump in the back, and decides to screw Trump after Trump lawyers present the 4 hours. Then there will come 14 hours of the REAL Trump defense, with cannons, and fireworks, ect …. and that will be the MAIN SHOW that will blow the socks off Deep State!
This might be the right course, guys, … the reason Trumps defense is so weak, is to get Rep Senators to vote against impeachment and end it. There is a plan 2 , if that fails. At that point, Trump would know he will get impeached, they have the numbers , so Trump can take the gloves off, and Fight like a LION!
What do you guys think?
I think you’re wrong.
See you tomorrow when the evidence is revealed.
45 senators voted for Rand Paul’s motion to dismiss because of the unconstitutionality of impeaching a former president.
It would be very odd (but then we’re dealing with GOP senators here), for some to now say, “Oops, I guess it’s constitutional after all.”? If it’s unconstitutional, it doesn’t matter what the evidence is.
Wethal
You got it. Trump is laying down now during this 4 hour segment , so the GOP senators will say impeaching a former president is unconstitutional, and end the whole thing.
Now, if some of the GOP decide after today to go forward with impeachment, then Trump knows he will get impeached, so he can present a SUPER STRONG case, and bring out the big guns, and has 2 days to present to the AMERICAN PEOPLE Trumps side and go after election fraud and CIA/FBI/ and BIG Tech. So Trump will get impeached, but the Record will have Trump’s Trump card, Blow up the system. 🙂
Some of these people just can’t wait for Trump to open his mouth and insult them or one of their friends because, frankly, they can’t stand him and just want him to go away.
Collins is the one that pisses me off the most because she presents herself as a Constitutionalist.
Collins is a Bushie. They control Maine Republican politics.
Once again, how do you stop Leahy from “ruling”? How do you stop him from saying to Dem objections, “Sustained”?
And just like Big Tech, all networks will shut down the trial so the truth can’t be presented to Americans watching this farce.
Too much imagination, not enough reality.
Like many such comments over the years, it sounds like a screenplay script.
IMHO
Peter- I wish like anything that you were right but I think this is just a case of forced error. We now live in a fascist, cancel culture world where you can lose your livelihood, your money, your reputation, everything, just for saying or doing the wrong thing. Can you imagine the punishment for representing our President Trump?
At what point can the matter of the vote for the trial be presented to SCOTUS?
If Trump is not convicted, then it’s moot, and SCOTUS would not hear it. So there would have to be a 67-vote to convict to have a judgment to appeal. And 45 are on record (so far) saying this is unconstitutional.
They can always change their mind.
No point.
There is no judicial oversight, i.e. appeal, on the impeachment process.
I’m assuming the Senate would then go on to bar Trump from further office, which Trump could appeal as a bill of attainder. Although, there might be a few in the 67 who would think that was too much, and Trump’s political future was at an end as the first impeached and convicted US president.
Right on cue, my Senator asks for $$$.
I hope you responded appropriately! Every time I get an email from the RNC, I just respond “go to HXLL!”
They have no clue how pissed off we are.
The day of reveal is soon approaching.
Trial by Combat, Trump vs. Biden.
Golf clubs at 6 ft. Trump will win by a knockout.
56 to 44 to proceed. This means they lost one Republican since the Rand Paul vote.
Cassidy of Louisiana.
That is the Dem playbook: use the blackmail Obama has on every single person until you get an illegal impeachment.
Here’s a guy who represents a landslide state for PDT and he votes keep going.
It would be interesting to get Cassidy’s emails and phone calls.
Senators and congress critters have been ignoring us for years. Sending an email or a voice message just goes in one ear and out the other right into a trash bin.
Sasse is being censured in Nebraska shortly by the state party…..Cassidy will get the same shortly…..
i know where he lives.
and his friends.
trust me when I say this…he is in for a world of pain in the community.
he just played his last card in the game.
You sure? I thought it was Toomey….
Toomey was in the original group of five who voted against Rand Paul’s motion. Cassidy switched on the issue today.
House Republicans now need to introduce a motion to impeach Biden over his Ukraine threats as Vice President.
They can introduce it and do nothing with it, but by God they can yell hard…if they wanted to which they don’t.
Oh, I’m under no illusion that it would go anywhere.
It would simply serve to let the Democrats know than they’ve opened Pandora’s Box.
Because there is no Republican party. All there is is a Republican business that makes money. That business doesn’t care one tiny bit what happens, they just pretend like they do.
It is a business. The Democrat Corporation is also a business. They do this stuff because they make money off of it, because both are businesses.
They have a strangle hold on America and the people of the U.S.A. who have been told forever that there are two political parties and only two political parties and that’s all there will ever be is two political parties.
Remember the Tea Party? Nice idea, great idea, but it was immediately infiltrated by the big money of the Republican corporation.
Add to that all the wanna-be’s who go into politics in any form for the money/fame/actual parties, and any new political party will almost instantly be sullied by grifters.
As long as the political parties are businesses looking to make money, we’re screwed.
Please excuse me, but what is a….Republican?
An unter-beta who obeys his Democrat master
Just go straight to the votes, this is all BS.
Imagine what it would feel like to know you are about to be judged by a jury of 100 of the most corrupt people in the world. Oh, and one of them will also be the presiding judge. Keep in mind that you also have a history of openly campaigning and fighting against the corruption these “jurors” are involved in, which is their main source of income and wealth.
NAILED IT.
I am proud to say it is 5:20 ET, am I am just checking in to the impeachment hearings for the first time. Since I want an accurate accounting of what happened, I am choosing CT instead of MSM.
I will go back to the beginning of comments after I post this, but can anyone tell me real quick what the score is?
The corruption is deep the Constitution is dead..
Stock up.. watch your six..
It is now Uniparty mob rule..
MAGA
A lot of legal mumbo jumbo and then the Senator’s voted to go ahead with the trial.
Schoen mentioned an interesting fact IIRC
If President had resigned he would have been under their jurisdiction.. he was going to be convicted but he resigned.. does not sever jurisdiction..
So not conceding was a smart move..
MAGA
One doesn’t concede & resign if done nothing wrong.
Cooooorrrrect!
The little red book..
I thought it very interesting that Schoen brought ot MAO’s little red book and said be careful or your judicial system will be based on this…
I would caution against reading anything into any votes before the main event. Per the rules put in place by Chuckie Cheese Schumer and Shanghai Mitch, all votes up to the main event are majority votes. With the clique of the evil 5 (Romney, Toomey, Murkowski, Collins and Sasse), the main event is coming.
The key upcoming events are the votes covering evidence. These votes are key, not so much the vote outcomes a those are fixed but what evidence is going to be allowed. I am especially concerned that the evil 5 will support a subpoena being issued for President Trump to appear.
Possible, although if the House gets to subpoena witnesses, who might Trump subpoena? And how long would this drag on?
The Senate can easily deny President Trump’s team any subpeonas and limit evidence to only addressing what ever garbage the democrats submit. There is going to be nothing fair about this going forward. Need to throw out any thoughts of fairness.
The senate rules.. president Trump cannot present evidence not approved by the Senate..
So farce..
Not thinking he’ll show….regardless.
The 2 day impeachment trial was a forgone conclusion….Trump is prepared I’m sure….question is, will the ‘presiding judge’ let him bring down the hammer…….I’m thinking not.
Agree Senator Leahey will not allow the hammer. Plus,one of the associate lawfare lawyers (a real lawyer) supporting the House Team will be doing the questioning, if President trump is subpoenaed.
Just to add a little distraction from all this bs going on.. try to find and play a song by Leonard Cohen named EVERYBODY KNOWS…??????..
Is the intention of the Trump defense
to have a ‘trial’ so that the real crimes by elected officials, DOJ, CIA, FBI, etc can be brought out?
No. Time is too limited.
That would be foolish. I mean, he could try, but look at who gets to rule on what can be entered as evidence.
Then there’s that little problem that a few R senators might have recently or in the past been elected illegally.
Again read the rules!! The evidence allowed to be presented by President Trump’s Team is up to the whims of an up or down, senate majority vote. This is not a court room and the senate rules, unlike Impeachment 1.0 DO NOT include court like rules of evidence.
That is the devastating impact of the cowardliness shown by Chief Justice Roberts because he would be the one deciding on admissibility if he was presiding. The senate up or down vote was added to the rules to be “fair” since presiding Senator Leahey is also part of the jury and gee the senate is 50-50 after all. //sarc
There is NO DEFENCE ..
Stock up things could go south at any moment..
Watch your six..
AD REM…A big thank-you for fixing the posting problem.
?
Congrats on BD status!!
ROFL!!!
It appears that “Jared the Timid” is advising PDJT again to follow a Karl-Rove-non-response strategy. So disappointed the President’s advisors now have no political savvy. There are no rules to this Soviet style show trial.
The President needs to grab the bull by the horns and hogtie it.
Trump must have gotten the first guy for free…I could have done a better job. Sure wouldn’t have called democrats patriots…and I sure wouldn’t have said that the American people voted in a new president. The second guy is better on content, but has a tick or bad habit.
