His defense lawyers dismiss the impeachment trial as “political theater,” but their own 78-page brief practically plagiarizes from The Importance of Being Earnest:
Were I fortunate enough to be Miss Prism’s pupil, I would hang upon her lips. [MISS PRISM glares.] I spoke metaphorically. – My metaphor was drawn from bees.
Citing a long history of “erratic behavior” (that’s putting it nicely), the president denies America’s Genius of the Carpathians access to intelligence reports.
Ever since the largest landslide in the history of the world was stolen from him by the forces of George Soros, DJT has been motivated by a bitter determination to bring down the government of the United States. Which seemeth to UD not the perfect profile of an intelligence-receiver.
One of the biggest defamation suits ever filed. Special suits for special people.
Trump’s favorite playmates banned in Canada! But (whew!) he can still play with them here.
I’m sorry. Not a pretty way to put it.
But the new administration looks likely – in the special case of DJT – to revoke the usual ex-presidential prerogative to receive intelligence briefings.
Need we count the ways this treacherous man represents a threat to the nation, with or without privileged information? I’d give stuff like this to his best buddy Marjorie Taylor Greene before I’d give it to him.
“[Trump] was [a Russian] asset. It was not this grand, ingenious plan that we’re going to develop this guy and 40 years later he’ll be president. At the time it started, which was around 1980, the Russians were trying to recruit like crazy and going after dozens and dozens of people.
Trump was the perfect target in a lot of ways: his vanity, narcissism made him a natural target to recruit. He was cultivated over a 40-year period, right up through his election.”

Not that he cares. He’s in the same gerontic garden of delights as you know who, and no pissant $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit is gonna rain on his parade!
“Dominion was not founded in Venezuela to fix elections for Hugo Chávez,” the suit says. “It was founded in 2002 in John Poulos’s basement in Toronto to help blind people vote on paper ballots.”
In response to the lawsuit, Giuliani released a statement.
A lot of people are saying that actually Hugo Chavez is still alive, living in Toronto, an employee of Dominion Voting Systems. We demand that Chavez be brought to the USA and deposed in regard to his knowledge of Dominion conspiracies during the last presidential election. A lot of people are telling me that Chavez is in possession of explosive new information about fraud which will make what we have already revealed about vote tampering look like small potatoes.
[I]nfluential Republicans are lobbying senators ahead of the [Trump] impeachment trial. The effort includes multiple former Trump administration officials, donors, former members of Congress, and current and former Capitol Hill aides — all encouraging Republican senators to vote to convict Trump.
OTOH: Every Senator doing a weewee at the Capitol metal detector cuz no guns allowed in the chamber is firmly anti-conviction.
“[N]othing in the provision authorizing impeachment-for-removal limits impeachment to situations where it accomplishes removal from office. Indeed, such a reading would thwart and potentially nullify a vital aspect of the impeachment power: the power of the Senate to impose disqualification from future office as a penalty for conviction.”
The good news: Mike “Martial Law” Lindell, AKA Mr “My Pillow,” will be there; and, because most retailers are now dropping his line, he will bring along to the ceremony thousands of unsold pillows, to create a warm inviting mood.
A reader sends this to UD, from Defense One:
The Pentagon, in a break with recent tradition, will not host an Armed Forces Farewell tribute to President Donald Trump.
It’s a shame, but not a surprise. Trump will leave office in disgrace, one week after the House voted a second time for his impeachment, two weeks after his supporters staged a deadly siege in the Capitol Building, six months after he dragged his Joint Chiefs chairman into a political firestorm, and after four years of nonstop assaults on truth.
The military doesn’t … want Mr Fuckface.
Mr Fuckface, you see, is like the gannet – one doesn’t want it, because it wets its nest.
