Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Gestopft]

Trump’s lawyer has been talking for like 40 minutes and said absolutely nothing of substance so far

[Odinfrost]

Jesus this Castor guy... Trying to appeal to emotions, rambling about stuff that has NOTHING to do with impeachment or the constitutionality of it all... Also:

"If you sacrifice some liberty for security, then you deserve neither liberty, nor security."

Well better make murder legal as that is security that sacrifices liberty. Specifically, it's infringing on my liberty to kill people.


Edit: And now the idiot is trying to argue that this shouldn't happen because this is the third impeachment in all of our lifetimes. That is not how impeachment works...

[beanman12345]

Again, what choice does Trump have, what choice does Trump need?
a) The Senate GOP would literally rather die than convict, so his lawyers' motions and evidence are meaningless.
b) Which legal firm sees how Trump treats his legal teams, sees what Trump pays his legal team, and say "Yeah I want in on that murderous insurrection!"
c) Also, Trump fires everyone who doesn't give the impossible results he demands. Do you see Powell in the room? No? It's because she was fired.

well, these guys have only been on the case for like a week, so not much time to say no. but it really does look like he called one of those late night commercial law firm of doofus and dumbass with a 555-5555 phone number. These guys hit jackpot they have a celebrity case they've essentially already won.

The slipper slope argument.

OK!

If they want to partisan impeach a President then so be it. I want to say if they try to remove a President on some bs charges will likely never happen, then I remember whe have the GOP. Anyways for some reason the American public doesn't really like impeachment trials so there are consequences. Also the irony of Clinton Impeachment.

So yeah back to a guy incited an insurrection and deaths and trying to say the next impeachment will be over a President who didn't dot his I's or cross his T's is hillarious of course.

Is, um, Trump's... err.... "lawyer" trying to threaten Senators to vote to acquit in order to avoid losing their seat/facing repercussions...?

Seems like this lawyer can read the mind of some Senators.

Honestly, I'm not sure what he is doing right now. He seems like he is just rambling and I don't know what the point any of this is. He talks but he says absolutely nothing.

[Gestopft]

Apparently Dems are only doing this because despite winning, they are scared of Trump 2024z

Lol

This guy 100% deserves the billy madison response.

I mean, let's just marvel at this. He doesn't even need to make a case, the issue is already settled with Senate Republicans. You can safely put in your fourth string quarterback without worry if the other teams defense has said they're not gonna play the game.

Man, even Dershowitz is confused as fuck.

*cough*

Trump could have just picked 3 random people off the street and sent them to defend him and the result would be the same. It doesn't matter if there are no lawyers willing to represent him when the jury has already made their decision.

[Odinfrost]

And Castor just ended his speech saying that this impeachment has done its constitutional duty already because Trump is no longer in office, seemingly having missed EVERYTHING the democrats had been arguing just beforehand.

[Edge-]

Oh, this second guy is bringing the heat. Trump will like this guy, he may get promoted to lead his defense.

[DarkTZeratul]

This guy 100% deserves the billy madison response.

Was just thinking that myself.

“Mr. Castor, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent opening statement were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

[Grapemask]

Just like the first impeachment, the defense is pretty much just pure logical fallacy.

This second guy really takes the cake, though.

"If we hold this man accountable, we might hold others accountable too!"

And now, apparently, the argument he's rolling in this video is that because Donald Trump did impeachable things before, we can't impeach him now.

I mean, I get that the idea is that these guys literally just have to exist at the podium for some amount of time so that Republicans can line up for Fox News later and say the defense DESTROYED THE LIBS, but can it be at least a little bit less ridiculous.

[Edge-]

Yo, impeachment is a political process, not a legal process. There is no due process, not in the House, and not in the Senate.

I mean, I know retard-lawyer already knows this, but just stating it for anyone here who may not be aware.

Also, I GUESS WE'RE GONNA IMPEACH GEORGE WASHINGTON FUCKIN LOL

[kaid]

They also miss the point the impeachment happened WHILE he was still president. This is the trial so if their problem is you can't impeach if they are out of office he was impeached while he was still IN office.

[Ursus]

What the fuck is with this one lawyer who, every time he takes a sip from his bottle of water, has to hold the back of his head with his other hand for some weird reason? Anyone else catch that?

Maybe his human suit is too large for his cockroach body, like the alien in MiB.

nope. donald trumps circus party has to be as stupid and ridiculous as possible. It's like every trumpster has entered a contest on who can be the bottom of the barrel, where the winner get's the stormy daniels treatment from their orange fetish.
