Throwing Trump Under The Bus That “We” Aren’t Driving

Impeachment I: We must acquit because the managers didn’t prove a crime.

Impeachment II: We must acquit because the managers are trying to prove a crime. https://t.co/ansTjnLGQw

This highway to hell has a thousand exits, but no GOP Senator is going to take one.

Lindsey Graham is offensive and absurd. https://t.co/sHRR6ixnus

See?

Correct my timeline if I am wrong...Reports say this Tuberville phone call happened at 2p where he shared that Pence is in danger.

It was approx. another 2.5 hours before Trump released his video stmt telling his followers he knows they are upset, but it is time to go home now. https://t.co/g5lV98A3MW

A central paradox of the trial:

(1) Trump’s lawyers will argue that Trump’s supporters on Jan 6 were not controlled by Trump.

(2) Republican Senators will vote to acquit because they believe that Trump’s supporters are highly controlled by Trump.

Best parallel to @GOP is Communist Party in Soviet Union. No relation in reality to any of its avowed principles. Eventually it collapsed in Soviet Union. Took longer than many thought. Same is happening with Republican Party. It’s a corrupt shell that exists to protect leaders. https://t.co/OL4ljrw3vf

Responsibility is a bitch, and must be avoided at all costs.

They want to win.

You all are just grasping for something to complain about since the vast majority of Republicans are acting so shamefully in completely ignoring the merits of an open and shut case. https://t.co/avWSJGwPaS
