All of Trump's Impeachment Lawyers QUIT!
Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial begins in less than two weeks and he is likely going to be wildly unprepared. Over the weekend, five attorneys parted ways with the former president and according to the Trump team, two new lawyers have taken their place. The reason for the legal team switch is that Trump was reportedly instructing his attorneys to argue during the trial that he was the legitimate winner of the 2020 election and the results were only changed due to widescale voter fraud. The attorneys who resigned in protest wanted to argue that the trial was unconstitutional because Trump is now a former president, but Trump didn’t like the approach and wanted to relitigate the election altogether.
This story is completely predictable and in line with the person we know Trump to be. He will claim the election was rigged for the rest of his life, even though sometimes he admits in private that he actually didn’t win. Trump also knows at this point that there won’t be seventeen Republicans who turn on him and vote to convict. That means, he can argue whatever he wants during the trial without having to worry about facing consequences for his actions. That provides Trump with the perfect opportunity to grandstand and convince more Americans that Joe Biden is an illegitimate president and set up a comeback for 2024.
Radical Congresswoman Blames Secret Jewish Space Laser
More and more social media posts are resurfacing of Marjorie Taylor Greene spewing nonsense conspiracy theories. Last week, we watched a video from a couple of years ago wherein she harassed David Hogg, a gun control advocate, and Parkland shooting survivor. There was also the video from 2019 of Greene trying to find Muslim Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib to get them to swear the oath of office on a bible. The latest video getting attention is of Greene arguing that 9/11 was an inside job. Although she didn’t want to dive into the topic too much in the video, she found the lack of evidence of a plane at the Pentagon to be highly suspicious. Democrats will move in the coming weeks to censure Greene, but there is little chance she will be kicked out of Congress because weak Republicans will have her back.
From over the weekend:
LOL: Trump Endorses Sarah Sanders for Governor of Arkansas
Former President Donald Trump endorsed his former press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, in the Republican primary race for governor of Arkansas. Sanders now has an excellent shot at winning the race, having Trump’s endorsement, and being the daughter of former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. Her candidacy shows that years of lying and complicity during the Trump years can actually pay off. While some former Trump officials will have trouble finding work, others will settle in red districts or red states and be able to win public office. Others will become correspondents on Fox News or Newsmax. If the world was fair, these Trump officials would never be able to work again as a consequence of all the lies they spread and all the damage they caused.
