Start at 5:10 for the 'best arguments of the day' being from Trump's own lawyers.


Whose side are they on again?

Kind of amusing that for all his talk about decorum, unity, and restoring the soul of America, Biden went ahead with his nomination of Neera Tanden.

During Tanden's first confirmation hearing Tuesday, Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) noted that Tanden “wrote that Susan Collins is the worst, that Tom Cotton is a fraud, that vampires have more heart than Ted Cruz” and called Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell “Moscow Mitch and Voldemort.”
LOL, well she's not wrong. But yeah, I would have picked somebody else.

And wasn't part of Biden's platform trying to get that crap out of politics? It's pure hypocrisy whether you want to whataboutism it away or not.

"Yeah, but Trump did worse" is going to be the "But her emails" of the next four years.

Considering Ted Cruz tried to have them all killed GL finding anyone who doesn't feel the same way about him. Same goes with the other clown shoes. Some republicans have long since gone past the point of no return, there is no working with them or unity.

These hearings are really going to be amazing in 20 years when there is significantly more social media posts to go back on.

The case that the Democrats have put together is very strong. This minute-by-minute rehearsal of the insurrection is terrifying, and practically unbelievable. Congressional staffers hiding under conference tables and barricading in side-offices for hours while chaos erupted around them.

Yeah, I'm at the stage I always am with these things...This is so compelling. There's no way some Republicans won't finally vote their conscience so as not to look like boot-licking assclowns. Nope.

Maybe we can still get an impotent censure out of this and really give him the what for.

Really is too bad they can't make it a private ballot, we all know how it would end.

I heard yesterday that the Senate does have the power to make it a private ballot, but they won't for political reasons.

Except it's not just Republicans she's gone after. She's gone after the progressive wing of the Democratic party with some pretty toxic rhetoric as well. How can you claim to be for unity when your nominee is openly hostile to an entire section of your party?

Keep in mind this is also the woman who said helping out Libya should be contingent on Libya giving the U.S. some of its oil, which is very similar to something Trump said that Democrats (rightfully) excoriated him for.

She's not a good nominee and I hope enough of the Dems vote against her to keep her out.

She also punched/shoved (depending who you believe) a reporter who dared asked Hillary Clinton about her support for the Iraq war when she was campaigning.

When he’s acquitted I’ll look forward to a whole bunch of criminal charges, starting in Georgia.
