QAnon is saying that Biden will be removed from office and Dear Leaser will be sworn in on March 4th. And, right on queue, the room rates at Dear Leader's DC hotel almost tripled for those dates. The grift continues.
As video of Capitol riot played, some GOP senators turned away:
Rand Paul looked down at the pad in his lap, where he had already begun doodling. Rick Scott studied papers in his lap. Tom Cotton focused on papers in front of him. Marco Rubio did the same. https://t.co/RmfZQ7vbCF
The level of skill between the two legal teams is striking. Trump lawyers begin with a bizarre claim that the "heat of passion" defense in the law--which is about when husbands used to find their wives cheating on them and killed them-explains the passions in the Chamber. Um no.
I have been in this government class before, where someone hasn't done the reading, napped through the first half of class, gets called on and just riffs for 15 minutes.
