Welp. @TimScottSC was asleep during the trial. Especially during the Mitch McConnell beat down at the end.

Right on cue, Trump’s lawyers begin their defense with Red Herrings aplenty (“What about Democrats in 2016?”), right before saying the phrase “incitement to resurrection,” whatever that is.

Feeling a little more Gorilla Glue Girl than Cat Lawyer today.

[Matthew Lambert @theWritist]

Trump’s defense: “Going forward with this impeachment opens up EVERYONE to impeachment!”

Everyone else: “Yep. Thanks for tracking. Welcome to the trial.”

Peyton Manning is more beloved now than when he played. He’s like the Jimmy Carter of football.

@Paul_Bowers Question: Do you really love Brutalism, to the point where you would argue for MORE of it? (Maybe answer that after you read the top book...)

“OK maybe TB12 works. I should maybe give it a go...I’ll start after I finish all these wings I bought.” ~every middle-aged man in America yesterday

“Can you stop by the store and grab some more wings?” ~ most middle-aged men in America today

@CBSSports why is the stream on my laptop not working?

.@RepMTG Your fundraising material claims that AOC encouraged people to “punch a cop.” What’s your source for that? Can you post the vid or the article with the quote?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Not only did I never make this claim, but I would never, ever do this.

What Greene is doing pumping this lie to her insurrectionist base is making them feel justified in further violence.

The prospect of stripping her committees clearly isn’t quelling her. She must be expelled.

@DonBruner5 @zane_vick Oh now I see ALL is highlighted so I am back to yes

[Matthew Lambert @theWritist]

@DonBruner5 @zane_vick Since the category above the pic says “recently uploaded” I’ll go with no

Christians are drawn to QAnon because it offers what the Church has abdicated. QAnon—though false—has become a cosmic story of real import and consequence that people can join and affect. The American Church has become a less-hip Starbucks.

Republicans want Liz Cheney to apologize for defending the constitution, but applaud Marjorie Taylor Greene’s destruction of it.

[Matthew Lambert @theWritist]

@CheriJacobus How is the security at @Heritage? Will they be able to protect him from GOP assassination attempts?

[Heritage Foundation @Heritage]

We’re excited to announce that former Vice President @Mike_Pence will join our organization as a distinguished visiting fellow. 1/5

“STOP arguing like a scholar with people who obviously haven’t studied the subject you’re arguing.”

The Dems have Maxine Waters, but the GOP has @RepMTG AND @RepNancyMace.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Rep. Nancy Mace bothsides Marjorie Taylor Greene: "There are crazies on both sides of the aisle. We've seen that. It's not just Republicans that have our own issues. Democrats have them too. We've seen Maxine Waters." (Waters have never endorsed the execution of Republicans)

[Matthew Lambert @theWritist]

@Paul_Bowers It’s so embarrassing that she’s our rep.

[Matthew Lambert @theWritist]

@LetMookieDance @Kellypblalock I spotted me first. (I am—no joke—wearing that sweater this morning.)

[Matthew Lambert @theWritist]

@pastordmack At least he was “cordial”, even if his understanding of history, grammar and science are not.
