Lawyers make the case for or against the defendant. They are licensed professionals, subject to rules and ethical standards.'Vigorous defense' is supposed to refrain from open lies.We need higher standards. For everything.

George should've saved his money for the Senators. The Repubs are going to vote to acquit no matter how bad the lawyers are, and work on a justification (if any) later.

Ta, Jamie Lynn. The neighbor I care for taped Castor's testimony to keep for entertainment, and showed it to me. I was gobsmacked.

Arg 1, He's not president anymore so no fair.Arg 2, Impeaching a not-president is vote suppression.

Arg 3, He really won the election so he's still president. But you can't impeach him because no fair. (I think this was the defense Trump really wanted.)

I sure am waiting for the video footage of the time the Capitol was stormed because of Maxine saying mean things.

Isn't Trump's use of adjectives and other modifiers weird? "Sacred landslide victory," "unceremoniously and viciously stripped away" from "great patriots" who have been so "badly and unfairly treated".... Who are the "patriots" (plural) he's referring to? What is the bad and unfair treatment? And the fact that the election was certified via a lengthy process of counting, recounting and electoral voting is exactly the opposite of "unceremoniously and viciously stripped away." I know he's being inflammatory and manipulative, but his use of language is so bizarre. It's almost like written English is a second language for him.

As one article put it, he is positioning himself to be a dealmaker with higher visibility and name recognition.

He cried because people were writing with chalk on the sidewalk in front of his house.

Trump's mentor was Roy Cohn. If you read Cohn's explanation of his tactics, you can see where Trump gets all of his tactics from.

Also, I think Trump is just a dumb person, who is not very good at anything, and that includes the English language. Everything he says is stupid, and his use of adjectives is always weird and dumb. I'm always shocked that Trump's supporters don't notice how stupid and weird he is.
