Even as a mere Florida man, former President Donald Trump sure looks as if he's trying to knife the Republican Party.
On Saturday morning, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the House's resident anti-Semitic QAnon conspiracy theorist, boasted that she had shared a call with the supportive former president. By evening, news emerged that Trump's legal team had resigned barely 48 hours before his first response to the article of impeachment is due and a little more than a week before the Senate trial begins. The reason: Trump wants to present the one defense that would render it political suicide to acquit him.
Trump could argue that despite inviting his fans to Washington, D.C., during a pandemic and telling them he would lead them to the Capitol to "stop the steal," his aside that they ought to do so "peacefully and patriotically" shows he was not trying to incite violence. As a matter of process, he could also argue that the trial itself is illegitimate because he is now out of office — a position that 45 out of 50 Republican senators agree on. Either of these arguments might be weak, but both are at least something.
But no. Instead, to defend himself from the charge that he incited an insurrection at the Capitol, Trump reportedly wants to claim the election really was stolen from him. As one may notice, this is not a defense against incitement but rather a justification for it.
The Republican Party has carefully avoided defending Trump on the merits of his actions — even Trump's most loyal supporters. Sen. Rand Paul did him a big favor by forcing a vote on the constitutionality of a post-presidential impeachment trial. That has essentially locked 45 senators into acquittal on constitutional grounds.

Joseph Goebbels: On the “Big Lie”
““If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.””
I know everybody knows this, BUT this is EXACTLY what the Demoncrats (NAZIS) and the news media (NAZIS) are doing.
And worse, they are saying Trump is the one doing it.
I Googled “Joseph Goebbels the Big Lie” and almost all of the responses were about TRUMP!
Just Trump, Trump and Goebbels, but not Hitler or Nazis. Except to suggest TRUMP is a Nazi.
Where is Congressman Joe Wilson when you need him? Truth to power, “LIAR!”.
Trump is a Nazi... LIAR!
Hawley is a Nazi... LIAR!
Trump lied about the election being stolen... LIAR!
Trump incited the riot at the Capitol... LIAR!
There was no fraud in the election... LIAR!
The courts have dismissed all of Trump’s lawsuits because he had no evidence... LIAR!
They HAD TO stop counting ballots because of a “water main break”... LIAR!
Biden got more Black votes than Obama... LIAR!
Biden is the legitimate President... LIAR!
Head on back to the Democrat sites where you belong.
“Not being a jerk here, but can you copy/paste a link or two here of a case that actually went to trial or allowed witnesses to be presented?”
Not even one.
That’s why State election law must be reformed, and people need to ensure they get the right State AG.
Not a single state found sufficient evidence to go to trial.
“Trump wants to present the one defense that would render it political suicide to acquit him.”
This makes no sense.
What is the Washington Examiner?
Mostly against silly incoherent posts.
Another example of the WRONG PEOPLE at this site...
jmo...
I doubt Trump cares about his defense. He likely plans to put irrefutable evidence of the election steal in front of the public. Then watch to see if the MSM tries to black it out.
“Sources say.” “Reportedly”
But personally. I hope he manages to take the whole den of vipers down while the reddit guys crash the stock market. Expose the lies and fraud.
Well, at least there were glimmers of hope for a moment. Pennsylvania lower court judge Patricia McCullough tried until she was overrulled.
The judge in Antrim County MI allowed for the forensic audit there.
In Wisconsin, a court said that 200,000 mail-in ballots could be contested since COVID cannot be used as a reason for being indefinitely confined. Not sure how those challenges went? Didn’t read much more on this....
The state legislature in AZ is still moving forward with their forensic audit.
The state legislature in GA tried to get all the ballots from Fulton County, but never got them to my knowledge (read that most if not all have been shredded).
No evidence was ever heard in Nevada despite the one attorney being able to rattle off almost 100,000 ballots right off the bat that could have been challenged.
Suicide Clinton style.
Nope. They author is lying as usual.
Greene said something about the Rothschild's I believe and since they are Jewish then she is ”anti-Semitic”.
Sort of like calling out Soros the Nazi makes you ”anti-Semitic” but calling for the death of Israel does not.
It is a DemonRAT thing. Don't try to understand it.
I wouldn't blame the man if he never lifted a finger to help his country after four years going on apparently five more years of being eviscerated 24/7 by people in his own party.
Give it a rest......
The actual steal, beyond the usual and customary Dem vote fraud, was the supression of the Biden laptop by Big Tech. Enough Dems would have switched their votes to give Trump a comfortable win even the typical Dem vote fraud.
“Mostly against silly incoherent posts.”
ok just checking
Ditto.
But the Republican Party is already dead by suicide, so...
