Oh god, Dershowitz is back at the podium! Get your popcorn ready! I can't believe he was allowed to speak again.

He went off on a wild tangent again, and Nadler got up there and just blew him out of the water. They have to get Dershowitz off that bench.

It's been interesting to listen to, both sides have good speakers and bad, some really bad. The last hour has been rough for the defense tho.

They should have waited till Super Bowl Sunday to do all this. To make sure only the hardcore nerds would give a ***.

Bolton ...

He is an honest and principled conservative.

I disagree with his principles, but he sticks by them unwaveringly in an age when most "conservatives" are weathervanes.

I will not like him an iota better if he testifies and brings Trump down, but I will say thanks.
Well, that’s part of what is so funny about the way that establishment Republicans operate. They cower and cave when the media pressure hits them, thinking that maybe if they throw the media a bone they’ll get better treatment down the road. The aftermath often results in the kind of response that you gave. “Thanks, but you’re still a Republican and therefore we still hate you.”
I don't hate him. I have strong disagrements with his positions. I admire his constancy. Its the bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran part I disagree with mostly.

Romney destroyed America's ability to produce specality steel. McCain inflicted the devine Sarah on the American people. Hardly "the dumbest little minutia."

I watched the Romney/Obama race pretty closely, and I don’t recall ever hearing anything about steel. What I did hear about constantly was a dog on a car roof, Romney being a meanie head in prep school, “the 47%”, etc., i.e. the minutia.

That's technically not "the media", though.

So I wasn't able to watch live, but catching up a bit now. I see the Bolton bombshell caused the defense to switch from "Quid Pro Quo never happened" to Dershitz claiming that it did happen BUT "Trump can't be impeached because he believed felt his reelection is in the national interest."

OK, so now this new defense is basically saying that Trump FELT he was acting in the best interest of the country. Laws are now based on FEELINGS.

This country used to possess some sense of decorum and dignity, and insist on the same from its elected officials. Hopefully those days will be coming back later this year.

I used to be a renegade, I used to fool around
But I couldn't take the punishment, and had to settle down
Now I'm playing it real straight, and yes I cut my hair
You might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care
'Cause I can tell what's going on
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square

Clearly. Because, as I've said many times, there are no accusations of lawbreaking in the articles of impeachment. I know people have a hard time with this concept, but those are the basis for the trial. Trump is in court for hurting the FEELINGS of Congress. It's that simple.

Talking about Hunter Biden is getting them nowhere. The Republicans had 4 years to investigate him and they did nothing because there is nothing to investigate. There remains no evidence he did anything wrong.

That was a horrible moment for Team Trump, he got benched for hours but then somehow was allowed to go back up there not once but twice to expand on his wild claims.

We've had a few classy presidents. Look at Martin Van Buren. LOOK AT HIM. Dude was rocking the Ebeneezer Scrooge style and people were like, "Heck yes we want him to be President!"

Jay Sekulow is having a bad time with his doomsday conspiracies. Calling witnesses will in no way add months to the trial.

And according to the Constitution political cartoons should hold up in the trial as evidence.
