I was right. "Lawyer" starts out with name-calling and an insistence that trial is "unconstitutional". He's saying Trump's 1/6 speech was rather bland, and pretending that was the only thing the House managers talked about, and the managers were "slanderous."
Bilious bullshit.
"Lawyer" is arguing that since there were objections raised by Democrats to some of the vote counts in 2016, that means Trump didn't engage in sedition.
I'm not sure how that logic works.
Now they're running a Trump campaign commercial.
A bunch of whataboutism, contrasting patriotic music behind Trump's racist dogwhistles about "law and order" against Democrats making firey speeches with dark music.
He went to the moronic Gym Jordan argument that Trump couldn't have instigated insurrection if the violence was gonna happen anyway (without acknowledging Trump had been encouraging and building up to that violence for close to a year).
Bilious bullshit.
Trump's "lawyers" won't offer any sort of defense.

They will distract, deflect, distort and dissemble.
They'll engage in whataboutism and name-calling.
They'll call the trial "unconstitutional," even though the Senate decided it wasn't.
They won't engage with the facts.

Texas isn't the first state Republiqans have destroyed. Does anyone remember what happened to Kansas? It wasn't a sudden disaster like this, it was a slow collapse, intentionally engineered.
This is what they do, one way or another. Any red state that hasn't collapsed yet, will.
Kansas ran an experiment in Republiqan economic theory, implementing all the tax cuts, deregulation and government service eliminations Republiqans have been pushing for. *Everything* collapsed. Duh.
This is what they do. They came this close =>||<= to doing it to America.
It still could happen to the nation as a whole, rolling through states, and then having Fascists re-seize control in Washington and implementing feudal-type monarchical disregard for everyone who isn't a Noble Lord. That's their goal.
Texas wasn't a mistake. It was a trial run.
I didn't include Flint, only because it wasn't state-wide, but Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are very close to collapse. So is Florida. And I'm sure you can all think of other red states that are on life
Now, imagine what will happen when multiple red states collapse at the same time, all needing massive federal bailouts.
Imagine Republiqans control the House, Senate and White House at that time, and have neither the competence nor the desire to help.
