I agree. He did little to help down ballots.

We already know how that's going to go. Thirty seconds of trump saying "vote for __________", followed by 59 minute and 30 seconds of "my election was stolen", "the biggest witch hunt in history", and a bunch of "lock her ups" thrown in for good measure.

Has he been disbarred yet?
Perhaps not. It's the weekend.

This part was, anyway.
“None of these depositions should be done by Zoom. We didn’t do this hearing by Zoom,” van der Veen said. “These depositions should be done in person, in my office, in Philly-delphia. That’s where it should be done.”

Fixing *manipulated evidence* is ‘catching an error’ lol?
Manipulate is a verb and it implies intent. Wouldn’t a more accurate rendering be something like “well, on second thought, the defense thought better of presenting doctored evidence in the trial”.
IOW, they were afraid they’d get caught.

Wasn't exactly a speeding ticket! But it's not like Trump is going to pay them.

They lied, and when they weren't lying, they just did a poor job.
It was amateur hour, which you really don't expect to see at that level of visibility. Something like impeachment should bring out the best in both sides. The Dem side was practically flawless.

Yet they lost lol.
Something like impeachment should only be done when there is bipartisan support.
Nancy Pelosi said so. She must have been lying.

trump will not run in '24. I don't think he'll even be alive. Pence is probably keeping his mouth shut in order to keep the trump base. trump is all about separating the under educated from their unemployment checks. I don't see any big money donors supporting him. Especially as the months pass, and corporations face massive boycotts if they dare to support any of the Republicans who supported the Jan. 6 terrorist attack. I'll be especially curious about Cruz/Graham...neither of which has to worry about re election anytime soon. But there will be guilt by association with either of them, so this will be interesting to watch.

By default in a general election year, they overperformed. I don't think trump's base listens to him when he begs them to vote for others. Half of his base doesn't even vote normally, and I don't expect them to stay involved in politics with trump gone.

Althea told me...
Exactly! He did nothing for Republicans in '18. Even after begging people at his Klan rallies to vote for his candidate, claiming it would be a vote for him. This commission will be very helpful to Democrats in the coming years. There are quite a few Republicans whose hands are filthy.
That’s a joke
The guy who just defended the biggest divider in American history, the President who personally labeled half the country as “evil” and “traitors,” is now calling for lowering rhetoric and uniting people? And the phony moralism is laughable
Where does the hypocrisy end?

That was definitely the most popular punchline in the entire affair.

It was the most bipartisan vote in impeachment history.
The GOP ignored the evidence. They doodled & read books. It was a pretty shameful display - they made political calculations, and that's it.
And they made the wrong ones. That party had a chance to cut ties with Trump - but they went the opposite direction. They decided to let him take the wheel.
Best of luck to them w/ that.
