George Conway: History Is Against Trump's Impeachment Defense Team | MSNBC
“Trump’s Impeachment Defense Team” is bloody out of it.
it’s honestly hilarious, i’m sitting here in disbelief at this farce.
guess we see why trump called the constitution outdated, irrelevant, it be blackmailed or fired.
The retrumplicans are already saying it’s unconstitutional. But they don’t say where it’s written.
@Casual Inquisitor I don’t think they watched the expert defense team pick apart the anti-constitutionalists arguments
@Casual Inquisitor and then what does it say right after? Lol
@Hot Sauce
Article 1 Section 4 Constitution of The United States
States and I quote
“The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of choosing Senators.”
“The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by Law appoint a different Day.”
Yes its been being repeated over & over lm not a constitutional scholar – but didnt know ld need to write down ecactly what part for people like this?
They are appealing to the dumb Fs… hoping they will buy it… They have bought LIES before, and everybody knows it… it might work again… dahhhhh…..
Honestly, Trump lawyers are not prepared…not convincing at minimum
They are lost, Frump is guilty, “no person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present”. Seems easy enough, republican Senators vote to convict, or do not show up. Gives them cover, gets the job done. https://www.senate.gov/senators/contact Ask your Senator to either make a just vote, or stay home. Feel free to copy, paste, share this.
Do you actually think the anti-constitutional Left wing radicals are going to win this? 🤣🤣🤣
Even the client himself wasn’t impressed much to say the least…

@55k3v1n No, but clear thinking and well educated centrist Democrats and Republicans will.
Fascism has no place in America
@Peter Lorimer Then why did you vote for the Communists?
They have to have something to make it look like they’re defending him.
The defense was perfect! No way 40% is going to lower to 33%
American flag half mass in shame of replublican senators replublican congress
good lord….learn to SPELL…..it’s half MAST, not mass…..Republicans, not Replublicans
You Europeans should try getting a life…
@Muddy Water as long as it’s not like yours
@Muddy Water
Gramps you should look for a Wal-Mart greeter who won’t stand you up.
You obviously haven’t had fun in the linen aisle for awhile.
To defend a clown, one has to become a clown.
To be a better liar than the liar you defend.
Demoncrats are deffinately clowns.
You shouldn’t say that about you’re lord and savior Joi Bai Dung 💩
Well said.
Impeachment for Bush Obama and Clinton coming. I have popcorn.
Its indefensible. So, they try the “lets throw 💩 at the wall and hope enough of our senators feel compelled to use it as cover” approach.
No January exception, Frump is guilty, Senators uphold your oath and convict him, or stay home the day of the vote. Please contact your Senators and let them know, you know what is just. https://www.senate.gov/senators/contact Those that are, or know influencers please feel free to copy, paste, share.
@Special People I hope they do stay home. It only requires 2/3 of the senators in the house *on that day* to convict
@C&B Jones Yep, but… If you were a Senator, and you saw the videos and lived through the attempted overthrow of the government, and took an oath, how do you face your family if you do not vote to convict Trump of Incitement of Insurrection ?
They know there is no defending Trump, so they’re grasping at straw arguments….
@55k3v1n Keep crying snowflake…..your tears are so tasty.
@55k3v1n … Your revisionist history is very entertaining.
@55k3v1n Are you delusional?
@john smith I don’t need to cry like all you snowflakes in 2016. You assume we cry like you soy boys.
@Interested party Please explain in detail…if you can. Sorry to make you think. You might need some puppy therapy first.
I greatly respect George Conway for being an LP founder. How he manages to continue to be married to his wife is a mystery though.
It’s called compromise…
The definition of yin and yang at its purest
You don’t know what happens at home. Perhaps she should be given an oscar for her acting?
S&M likely holds that relationship together.
@Anna B the amount of children you have doesn’t correlate to happiness. I’m one of six children and have experience in the matter.
Law and order. Right Trumpers?
If Trump isn’t convicted by GOP senators then they may as well tear out The Constitution section on impeachment as not worth the parchment its written on.
@Norman Bates The real Norman Bates?.? How’s Mother ? 😂👍
@Norman Bates except this is how the constitution works and Trump is a great example of the greatest fears the founding fathers ever had which is a wanna be king as President. Impeachment can also mean barring someone from future office, and someone who refused to peacefully handover power like happened for the vast majority of our history should never be allowed to run again. It’s simple, unless you like to revise history to hide atrocities?
Have they brainwashed you that badly?
@55k3v1n the insurgents tried to overthrow the government, are you saying that was ok? They killed a cop, that was ok? They smeared poop in the capitol, that was ok? How pathetic are you to think that it’s ok to throw a coup?
@T D Some crazies planned days in advance, with no support from Trump, to join the peaceful protest and cause havoc. FBI warned about it ahead of time. If Trump planned an insurrection, he would have sent in an armed coordinated military-type group of well trained warriors, not some guy wearing a viking hat. Calling it an insurrection is a joke. And I care more for all the small business owners who have been terrorized by the Biden-supporting violent anarchist groups (BLM and Antifa) for the last 8 months than a bunch of corrupt politicians
william belknap was impeached AND convicted by the house and senate after he resigned in 1876. the precedent is there
No, he was impeached in the House, then acquitted in a Senate trial: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_W._Belknap
“Evil succeeds when good people do nothing.” 🖋📃
Yes, they first control the media, take away free speech, demonize all opposition, then hunt down the dissenters ~ Communist Playbook.
Say what you mean. History is FOR his impeachment is how you needed to phrase it!
Sadly, nothing factual or constitutional matters to the senate republicans so acquittal is a given.
Begs the question ; just how did they get that “job” ????? Doesn’t it
Unlike the former impeachment trial (1st), this time (2nd) Dems have the Senate majority.
Good stuff, it’s time to bring this evil monster to justice. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
While a dead Officer was just Buried for this mans actions.
35 people,mostly Blacks, got buried for Demoncrat riots last summer. You fine with that? Don’t see anyone crying for them.
His family came forward the capitol bldg incident was NOT the cause of death – their just playing it to the hilt to suit their needs
@David Eby Excuses and no self accountability don’t change anything.
Proverbs 17:15
“There is nothing God hates more
than condemning the one who is innocent
and acquitting the one who is guilty.”
Republicans are just mad they lost everything forever. 😂
