Mate like you I've been to the US a couple of times and when you get around the place you soon realise the term the dumb American really is true.

after all they had a GOP senator you really believed Jews using giant outter space ray guns to start Forrest fires, needless to say was one of Trumps biggest fans.

its no coincidence that Trumps base comes from the lowest quartile of education in the US.

I bet Trump wished he’d hired this guy a long time ago. His impeachment defence lawyer Michael van der Veen just ripped a CBSN reporter a new one with a tirade aimed at all media left and right after the reporter’s clear slant that some of the evidence that house members had “doctored” were only minor things.

As soon as he picked that up he interrupted and gave it to her with both barrels. He nailed her and ALL media to the wall in the process and revealed their tactile biased that the average punter doesn’t pick up. You have to scroll down and play the Twitter video.

In what way did he "nail her".

he didnt once state clearly what he claimed was the doctored evidence despite given a number of chances.

and it was him that cracked it like a kid ripped his mike off and stormed off. she stayed cool.

just the usual pile of paid lawyers huff and puff with no substance,

No it’s not huff and puff, you obviously don’t get it. And neither does she, it’s all about context and she is trained to make light of something depending on which side she is biased towards. She made light of a check mark that was added and the year altered by house managers to doctor evidence to make things look worse for the former president and that is why he let her have it and ripped into all media the way they don’t properly report but instead will make light or overlook illegal behaviour while painting something else to look dramatic when there is really nothing there. She was stunned because usually she gets away with it and no one pulls her up. He did.

Media are low life scum. Trumps defence lawyer absolutely destroyed her and the media in general.

However serious questions need answering as the 2nd impeachment acquittal and why no witnesses were called in re3gards to the 6th of Jan.
It has set a dangerous precedent and many cannot see democracy itself is looking shaky.
Then what is the point of having the impeachment hearing when everyone knew it would get the not guilty. Whatever McConnell wanted being the result it was. Has made the repubs look a bit of a mess.

WAG, I dont think Trump organised the Russian involvement but he more than welcomed it. Putin had met with Hillary and realised she would be a more than formidable opponent to deal with where as after meeting Trump he realised he would be putty in his hands.

Despite most of the Republicans including Mcconnell (apart from the crazies and the Q- Anons) believing that Trump incited the violence at the Capital, only 7 of them had the Gonads to vote for his conviction. What a spineless mob they are. I wonder if they may have voted differently had the lawless mob taken a few of them out particularly Pence who they were threatening to hang if they found him.
The outcome now will be that Trump and his associates will be reaming the republicans for the next 4 years

The week kneed repubs voted to protect their jobs after enormous pressure and threats from the Trumptards to disenfranchise them, no consideration of whether Trump was guilty or not as long as they keep getting their fat pay cheques and benefits.

She didnt make light of it, she didnt say it was OK, infact she didnt say anything, she just listed the items and then asked him if that was what he was saying the doctored evidence,

He has then jumped in and put words into her mouth by saying she said it was OK, in fact she never said it, hes's an experinced lawyer who's good at highjacking a topic and turning it to his advantage by making it sound like a witness said something that was never said.

To complete the jury style con job, he then goes off on a tangent about the media, because everyone hates the media don't they, ends up in a theatrical court room ( well rehearsed ) huff and puff and confection outrage to draw the simpletons in, finishes it with a teenage hissy fit and chucks the mike down.

Good but not good enough.

Would not be surprised if Trump paid bribes for the NG.

We know for a fact that a heap of Gun Owning Red neck freaks were issuing threats to GOP reps if they dare vote against Trump, there were trucks loaded with nut jobs circling houses to try and get them to over turn people votes.

disgraceful

Trump could have used a stationary ''pot plant''as a defence counsel and still would have received the same impeachment vote at a fraction of the cost.Lets see how he fares when the inevitable state and federal charges come his way before ''non partisan''juries.

Some interesting stuff coming out.

Bannon now saying Trump has early onset Dementia.

That may explain some of Trumps bizarre behavior.
