Hi CB....
Thanks for posting Lin Wood.
His spine need to be in the Smithsonian one day.
I watched until the War Room came on, that was about all I could take.
I’ll post some more from Pollak shortly.
Thankfully, there are those whose job it is to watch and report.

Notice the Democrats pressing the case sound like they are bleating like sheep, almost begging you to believe their fevered hallucinations. Compare to Trump’s lawyers’ voice control that tells you they are giving it to you straight, and we’re done here

SCOOP: A group of Lincoln Project megadonors are considering walking away from future support of the group after allegations of sexual misconduct against John Weaver.
They are waiting for the group’s external review to decide
TWO key vendors have cut ties
21st Question, from @Sen_JoeManchin for House managers: Would president have been made aware of attack, and responsible for protecting Capitol?@StaceyPlaskett: President has to know. Plus, he "incited" the riot. #ImpeachmentTrial— Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) February 12, 2021
22nd Question, from @SenDanSullivan for Trump team: If due process is "discretionary" as House managers say, what are the implications? Van der Veen: It's not discretionary. "Good Lord." Accuses House of "prosecutorial misconduct" for saying burden is on defense
23rd Question, from @SenBlumenthal for House managers: Does "Brandenburg" preclude impeachment? @RepRaskin starts w/defending professors from a "slur" (watch Van der Veen nuke this answer on the next opportunity). You can't treat president like ordinary person.
. @RepRaskin is, indeed, offering a new "presidential" exception to the First Amendment.

Raskin's voice has gone up an octave and he is speaking very quickly. He's on the ropes. Not used to opposition.
Van der Veen:
- Wood v. Georgia is the elected officials case
- Brandenberg case is about impeachment
Elected officials have MORE protection, and you can't go outside the words of the speech (not past tweets)
24th Amendment, from @RogerMarshallMD : Didn't House managers undermine their own case by showing riot started before Trump speech? Van der Veen: Yes, they showed the riot was premeditated.
Question not Amendment
25th Question, from @ChrisVanHollen to House managers: Respond to Trump team's last answer. @RepRaskin says he doesn't know what that was, but goes on about the Bond case, saying Trump team "desecrated" Julian Bond's name by citing his case.
Now @RepRaskin appears to be saying Trump can't cite a legal precedent if it involved a Democrat
Raskin is inventing new standards all the time.
26th Question, from @marcorubio for both: Under new precedent, could future Congress "lock her up"? (You know who.) @RepRaskin "The jurisdictional issue is over." (So, yes?) Appears to say they have to be *impeached* while in office. Van der Veen: Yes.
Van der Veen notes that @RepRaskin can't tell Senators what grounds to acquit on (thinking past the sale!). Says that they can still acquit on the constitutional question even if Senate took a procedural vote.
Here's @JakeTapper Jew-shaming Trump's lawyer. @CNN Trump attorney David Schoen has left the Senate to observe the Sabbath.
At synagogue tomorrow, he will hear the reading from the Torah of:
Mishpatim
מִשְׁפָּטִים
Rules— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) February 12, 2021
This is disgusting, an attempt to use the Jewish faith of Trump's attorney against him. Maybe we should do what @CNN does and call all of @TheLeadCNN 's advertisers and ask how they feel about their commercials appearing on a program that singles out religious Jews for their faith
27th Question, from @SenatorBennet for House managers: What would have happened if Trump/mob convinced election officials to do what he wanted? @JoaquinCastrotx says the impeachment case is a "combination of things," not just the speech.
28th Question, from @JohnCornyn for both: On "January exception"--isn't former president still subject to prosecution? Castor: Constitution clear: former president subject to criminal justice. @RepRaskin yeah, but that's true anytime, not just January (So what?)
I'd ask a follow-up question: does a January impeachment have different procedural rules from another impeachment that prevent an inquiry, hearings in the Judiciary Committee, constitutional advice, representation by counsel?
Thus end the questions. The House impeachment managers lost big today.

Write the first paragraph about the second Trump impeachment trial that will appear in a 10th grade US History book, circa 2060:

Donald Trump was the first president to be impeached twice and still get re-elected after Democrats nominated VP Harris
Thanks for your posts listened to some with Nikk. Just more of the snowflake tantrums with racists hateful inferences. They are sick. Going to listen to videos soon.
Was proud of the Trump legal team today. They did a good job of judicial references and keeping case on topic and most importantly at a level that intelligent people could follow — good teachers Of course that eliminated Rats and non- thinking RINOs from understanding it.
Just catching up. So far, very exciting!!! Thanks for the info.
Good evening, tc!
How are things in your neck of the woods?
Trying to process all the craziness these days is sure daunting isn’t it?
Read later.
I did not watch the first hour of today’s defense at the impeachment trial. I set my DVR to record C span tonight. It sounds like it would be worth watching.
Thanks to Jim Jordan, one of the few patriots and statesmen in Congress.
Actually the word “by” shocked be removed. Each of these people betrayed Trump.
Thanks for posting the various commentary tweets—that was very helpful.
once again a cat turd is smarter than mainstreammedia
We are freezing. About half of our pond froze and our 5 ducks were stuck and scared of the ice. Until the geese flew in and started eating their breakfast. They learned to walk on the ice rather quickly. We expect a foot of snow on Monday at our little farm north of OKC. Into day 5 below freezing and looking at another 6 days. My feet just don’t seem to warm up.
I am loving reading all the posts you are showing. Hoping it is start of some happy days. Yeehaw! And the Linn Woods tweet CB posted was the cherry!
Hoping you are staying comfy thru this bout of global warming.
I saw some of it today and just caught up on some highlights.
I thought what I Saw was right on target!
Truth Wins even in this sham of lies invented by the Swamp!
