Meanwhile Trump gets nominated for a Novel Peace Prize

So much for insurrection

“The Nobel Peace Prize is not for popularity. Nor is it an assessment of what the international community may think of those who helped bring about peace,” Dershowitz wrote. “It is an award for fulfilling the daunting criteria set out by Alfred Nobel in his will.”

A constellation of conservative groups that rallied behind former President Donald Trump during his first impeachment is sitti&ng this one out, confident that the outcome is preordained.

Why couldn’t Congress’ private police force of 2,000 protect it from a mob of hundreds?

With mere hours left before a deadline for Donald Trump to officially answer the impeachment charge against him, the former president was still scrambling to assemble a legal defense, announcing that he had hired two new lawyers after a five-person team abruptly quit their roles.

The unveiling of Trump’s new legal pairing – one a Fox News commentator and former counsel to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the other a former county prosecutor who opposed charging Bill Cosby with sexual assault – fueled concerns the provisional return to normalcy since Joe Biden’s inauguration was about to be upended.

Multiple reports suggested Trump jettisoned his previous legal team because they were unwilling to recite the election fraud lie. Trump’s new lawyers, David Schoen and Bruce Castor, did not indicate what defense they had planned.

A valid question.

Trump now has a team with unsavoury credentials .....

In a brilliant stroke of genius, the Democrats have now unwittingly brought back a man who had just exited the stage with 75 million angry followers, again to center stage.

This is the same group of 75 million people who firmly believe that the 2020 election was rigged and Biden* (who's going to go down as the president with an asterisk) is a usurper. Emperor Joe just said that this second farcical trial of Trump "has to happen," but whether he understands what he is saying is anyone's guess. He might be confused with getting ice cream or taking a nap for all we know. Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer was not confused and said, "I don't think there's a need for a whole lot of witnesses." That makes total sense. You don't need no stinkin' witnesses for what's in reality a kangaroo court!

Former president Donald Trump’s new legal team got off to a shaky start in a legal brief on Tuesday, addressing their arguments to the “Unites States Senate” instead of the United States Senate, the body that will try Mr Trump on 9 February on allegations he incited the 6 January attack on the Capitol.

The typo comes right off the bat, with the document declaring it is for “The Honorable, the Members of the Unites States Senate,” five lines in.

The legal memo, which argues the president can’t be impeached after leaving office, was exercising his free speech rights criticising the election, and didn’t cause the riot, also contains, for the true grammarians out there, a missing apostrophe.
