had a"good day," though other members of the defense team and Republican senators were less enthusiastic.Attorney Bruce Castor, representing and defending former President Donald Trump, addresses the U.S. Senate as it begins the second impeachment trial, on charges of inciting the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, on the floor of the Senate chamber on Capitol Hill, Feb. 9, 2021, in Washington, D.C.
Schoen also responded to a question asking if it meant anything that another Republican the voted with the Democrats on the question about the constitutionality of the proceedings. Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who both voted as they did previously on the question, said they were"perplexed" and"stunned" by Castor's presentation.
Thank you Senator Cassidy for doing the right thing.
And maybe it brought back the reality of that day.
He's still gonna let trump off the hook
Don't understand how Trump can GROOM his domestic terrorist for 4yrs... ...ORDER them to attack our Capitol...cause FIVE DEATHS... ...and Republicans say, 'but he's a private citizen now?' When did becoming a private citizen offer a statue of limitations on treason & murder?
He can sell it however he wants he is a traitor and just ignored the constitution...the house impeachment managers are in violation of the Constitution with every word they said and crocodile tear they shed! Cassidy better start looking for a new job cuz he is done in the Senate
So did the Senate GOP decide beforehand who was going to try and make “a show of it” by seeming rational so the entire Party could then “plausibly deny” the whole trial was rigged from the start? “OK...I’ll do it...but u have to support my bill regarding cow flatulence as good”.
Damn I cry each time I see this! All for a lie & a grift! Without convicting Trump, you're opening doors to allow other's to do the same, your jobs as Senators will be useless. Time to read the constitution you swore to uphold!
Now they know how people live on the daily. Scared are you? Take care of your constituents dummies.
How come Jamie Raskin aka “HARPO MARX “ Didn’t play the BLM and Antifa Total Mayham of all 50 states of looting , fires , tearing down statues burning businesses stealing all the merchandise harassing people in their homes SHOW THAT DEMOCRATIC Terrorist insurrection 😩😩😩😩😳
He did an excellent job.
Same assholes who go around blowing people up all over the world now want my sympathy 😂😂
All of those Senators that Support the Behaviour of TRUMP that LED the INSURRECTION should ALL BE held Accountable as they are just as Guilty !!! The people will have to show them in 2022 that they are NOT DESERVING of REPRESENTING THEIR COMMUNITY !! VOTE THEM ALL OUT !!
I understand it was scary but what about all the teachers and kids when they have a shooter in their school. Do u think they weren’t scared. You are ready to impeach what about protecting schools. Your scary story just isn’t your alone. It’s what schools face.
For those that say the Impeachment is politically motivated, and disqualification is targeted by Democrats. my response is simple if he is NOT disqualified just imagine what he could do if he runs in 2024 and WINS! Why do we even need congress?
Did he care about the summer riots that ruined property and jobs?
His statement was deep and sincere. I felt his heartfelt pain and his loss of Tommy. What Trump did to our country was Unfathomable and Unforgivable! And the GOP knows it.
Why people stormed the White House was to protest against a corrupt government that rigged the ELECTION RESULTS,,,did people forget or is it under the HUSH LAW NOW TO THE NEWS MEDIA ?
And what about the people emotionally and financially effected by the BLM riots, looting, violence🤔
These are the same big, tough, brave people who authorise bombs being dropped on other countries, killing innocent men, women and children. Now they hide under desks like cowards.
Here we go again!!! Focus on this now!!!
I watched this on TV and it was such an Emotional Speech . The video And Speech Effected me and brought me to tears!!I can’t believe that a few Rotten Republicans were so Ignorant to turn a blind eye to the video shown, reading books , looking at their feet etc . How SHAMEFUL !!
This was heartbreaking. Such an eyewitness account cannot be ignored. I live in🇨🇦, the world was watching, we are deeply shocked at americas shameful and deathly divide.
He is describing every business owner in Manhattan during July and August of this past summer. Complete farce.

Nothing more filled with bullshit than a grown man trying to put on a act with water works lol!
To use his dead son for political gain is about the sleaziest thing you can do.
It was a heart wrenching recount! Yet, the SenateGOP chose to ignore the horrors of January6, simply to save their own political hide!
Stop fraud
No one denies it was terrible. But just because the rioters were Trump supporters doesn’t make it Trumps fault; no more than the riots throughout the summer were Joe Biden’s. If someone is violent because they feel a rock album told them to be, we don’t blame the musicians.
When I want to prove to people that Americans can be ignorant and racist pieces of shit, I just send them links to posts like this... and tell them to read the comments. Haven't been proved wrong yet.
Wonder how many times he practiced in front of the mirror?

Ooh so pathetic
There’s overreacting and then there’s this

Democratic drama, democratic hyperbole.
Did he get that from ocaso 😂 his argument was starting to go south so he figured he might as well start to cry thinking it would bring it back to the left 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha 🤮
Thank you for listening to the facts.
You have to consider by wanting to protect the party you jeopardize confidence in the system By wanting to protect the presidency you jeopardize confidence in the system Impeachment insurrection
Gee, the downside to nepotism, having family under the same roof where you bend the country over.
Leave off
Agree.
Mr Hutz from The Simpson's at law is available. Might get better sense out of him.
Hitler had help also .. most of the gop are complicit cowards .. good to see a few aren’t weak traitors
Well that’s refreshing
Does this clown know this is about legal grounds and evidence/proof? The whole thing is just a show, but at least it gives everyone a chance to see how insanely incompetent our government is.
It's sad that congressional republicans still don't understand that conservatives(not all of them some still think they need to be tied to the republican party to exist)but with any sense of class dignity and a rational thought process are running away from the republican party.
I bet he still votes against impeachment
Even maga (donated) money can’t buy the best defense.
44 R’s demonstrated their disdain for our democracy & constitution y’day. Our standing in the world will take a massive hit - worse than it already has - & the fragility of other democracies will be exploited. The next decade will be a turbulent one for Democracies writ large.
The KKK was officially dissolved by Republican President Ulysses Grant through the Civil Rights Act of 1871 (known as the Ku Klux Klan Act).
And now the Louisiana state Republican party wants to censure him for obeying his oath of office....insane
Sad that this vote has to be considered 'courageous'. Eugene Goodman was courageous....repubs who voted ' no' on the constitutional argument yesterday were cowards!
Trump’s lawyers are a joke. They may as well have read Dr Seuss like tedcruz. Would’ve had the same outcome.
this is really interesting. a senator was actually listening to what the managers and lawyers said, thought about it and made a factual decision
Respect, sir.
Communist-style propaganda brainwashing!
Yeah, I’m not buying it.
'People do what they do' - Nancy Pelosi
I thought Rep. Neguse was very effective.
If Trump is voted not guilty I'd like to hear Republicans explain why Biden couldn't do the same and, potentially, become President for life, but without consequence should the coup fail
BS! 😥
All the far left riots in DC, police officers injured, by the hundreds, destroyed Federal statues, burning buildings, and Democrats leadership, calling this peaceful. This isn’t the first time riots in DC. Democrats double standards, and Republicans same spineless few, meow.
I lost total disrespect on the law makers in DC. Playing this con artist game, blaming this 1 time violence by the right, in DC, on a Ex-President. What a total act of wasting tax payers time. In a real law, it be tossed out , with no trial. Nothing the President said is illegal
The nation cannot heal with Trump still holding control over the other 44 Republicans not allowing them to think for themselves is despicable
He has to be held accountable!
IMPARTIAL observers: 1. Absence of impartiality in the🇺🇸US institutions. 2. Absence of admission of the shared responsibility of Democrats, Republicans &US🇺🇸 corporate media feeding since 2016 an extreme political&racial polarisation. 3. Oversimplification of Source of actions.
Except that's not what it was that's your opinion smh
I totally agree with him. Unfortunately we all know , the Republicans are going to protect the 45th PRESIDENT.
That guy is an asshœl!
I’m very very surprised such comments from a Jewish man. Providing reasons for a white suprematist, racist etc to not be stopped from serving in government again. I’d be concerned that the accused, if he gets into power again will bring a hideous reality to the Jewish community.
Isurrection...
Democrats and the Liberal Media can't demonize Trump and his supporters for four years, fuel AntiFa and BLM riots, and then walk away like nothing happened.
The presentation is strong in this one....
On Jan6,Trump demanded that his supporters storm CapitalHill by force&try to assassinate&hang members of the Congress.7 dead. Congressmen experienced the mob's shouts,noises&roars as they barricaded themselves on CapitolHill.They were then told what Trump had said at his Rally-m
Only AOC has threatened to breakdown the doors of the Capitol:
Have you ever witnessed an insurrection? They don't arrive wearing a Nordic costume with horns. They are well armed. And women are not included! It was the worst insurrection in history!
If it was up to Republicans Trump would be king of the United States right now.
Well said
The best choice I've made this year was investing in cryptocurrency and forex trading and earning from home. With the help of michealweldon_ I've been earning $26k weekly I've never regretted this decision. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The cowardice of the GOP will live in infamy. They know better but they are scared of his cult.
Never a good sign when your lawyers' only argument is to not have a trial, and then it is ruled that there will be a trial. (and not by combat)

I say Trump needs better lawyers. Unless they really have a better arguement.
We do not negotiate with terrorist organizations. No unity without accountability.
Truth must be said Donald Trump incited an insurrection on Capitol Hill he and his allies co executors of spreading false claims of election fraud and alledgedely trying to denfranchise legitimate votes must face the wrath of the law for peace healing and democracy to thrive
He can say whatever he wants but facts and Poll say it all.
this is a poor excuse to deny justice trump must be held accountable. and for you to defend trump at this stage is pathetic.. people want to see this man behind bars his words have consequences. he motivated his base to attack government.
Who gives a fuck? This is 100% irrelevant
DrShanaYong1 ... said the Germans in the 1930s ... Don't give fascists a second chance. They might succeed next time.
And Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott and Tom Cotton roll their eyes and doodle on papers while the 13 minute video rolled as if it was all a joke. Hope voters remember that when they run for reelection . What a group of losers!!
Oh I can heal once I know the bludgeoning of Officer Sicknick received JUSTICE. HoldTrumpAccountable
So a President can commit a crime and then get away with it? Is that how justice works in our government? Tell you what, if it'd been me or anyone I know who'd done all that and was facing a trial, we would be going to jail. ConvictAndDisqualifyTrump

What is the Biden administration afraid of? After a series of shameful actions, such as fake elections and stealing votes, you stole the presidency of the United States. You still want to impeach Donald Trump. Is the world still conscientious?

Democrats can't heal without it, Republicans can't heal with it.
Their mind is made up they are the party of Qanon domestic terrorist and lawless individual's chaotic and corrupts
Who is this “they”?
Huh, the sins of the South are visited upon us.
That's one man's opinion. 82 million says you are wrong. Just like 9 more million rejected your failure of a client.

What was the price for his soul? Not worth the money to lie.
If there is no accountability then your constitution isn't worth the paper it's written on
This nation is already divided thanks to Trump and his congressional klansman. May the Senate, the House and this nation watch justice unfold. Trump is NOT above the law. No President is. Then, we can heal.
So many bitcon traders on Twitter are trickster markdonaldAmeli thank you for opening my eyes to their ways now I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to help others
He’s lying to America. We must have accountability for the deadly insurrection incited by Donald Trump and his co-conspirators in Congress. TrumpImpeachmentTrial
First the Nuremberg trials then the Wirtschaftswunder.
Yeah, if we prosecute criminals, how will victims heal?
'If you hold us accountable then we will be really, really, mad. We can't be friends anymore.'
The nation will heal just fine without Trump and his white supremacist groups.
Esperen cualquier cosa... Es D Trump, el niño engreído millonario que nunca creció
The Republicans not voting to convict are leaving the scene of a deadly incident,they will get away and pray that time will wash away the personal stains of their selfish indifference....it will not.
Round n Round we go
Truth!
He was amazing...
The cult mentality that wants Trump to never be held responsible for his actions isn’t just gross but it’s also amazingly dangerous
How could it possibly injure the Republicans to just throw Trump under a bus and put him in the rear view mirror?
95% only bad news(

One thread. One tweet each day. We’re following all 1460 days of Joe Biden’s 1st 4 yrs. Start from the top and follow along. Day 1 is pinned to the top. And remember — if we let satire die then the seditionists have won.

Congress is a superspreader event. Why meet in person?
Only slightly more selectively edited than:
This is a conjecture without direct evidence. The Democratic Party is exercising dictatorship.
He said he’d be right there with them. Was he?
Republicans should show video footage of all the Democrat run cities under attack from BLM and Antifa. They should also show the multiple speeches from Maxine Waters, AOC, Nancy Pelosi, and other Democrat politicians who encouraged violence for those who disagree with them.
Thrivent LivingLutheran ELCA PLUNEWS CA1Lutheran It sounds like the QGOP has become a dumping ground 4 boys & girls behaving badly-No oath-No minorities-No constitution-Just Liars & Cheats. They don't care about the Country at all-do you see it differently? lutheranworld
Republicans a month ago: 'Trump can't be tried because he's President !!' Republicans TODAY: Trump can't be tried because he's NOT President !!' WHAT FOOLISHNESS !!!!!
Say it with me now... 'White domestic terrorism.'
And if that don't convict him nothing will.
What a good Hollywood movie of the year
Political theater at it’s finest
Do you think this is what people really need right now?
SenatorLankford embarrassing himself with his 'Oh shucks,' treason being interrupted by a mob.
It was chilling
These Republicans will never vote to convict. Maybe a handful will , but most will not, Not withstanding the lousy Trump legal team. It won’t matter Emily is
