He should consider himself lucky that so few will see his hot mess defense team make idiots of themselves.

PS. The House managers should play the "head on a pike" video back to the Senate and the country today. Repeatedly. And maybe some of Human Hand Grenade Giuliani's latest rantings.

And yet we have to go thru this. We have to listen to this old a*s, over privileged, man-child continue to abuse our existence with cries of innocence when he knows he created this mess, HE'S GUILTY. He created the situation that he's in, HE DID IT. Its his own made-for-tv bullsh*t, WE ALL KNOW IT. And yet we have to listen to it any way. He is riding this "Democrat Vs Republican" video game til the bitter end. He's laughing at all of us, especially his supporters. My only hope is that we can pull together enough strength to vote him out of office before he does any more damage! Hopefully his supporters will realize what a monster he truly is and vote him out before they end up in a "jim jones" moment (war with Iran). I hate to say it, but he is a horrible, horrible person and even worse, a horrible president. SAVE AMERICA, DUMP TRUMP 2020!!

...that when the Senate calls Trump on this “head on a pike” bullshit, his minions will say something to the effect of “we didn’t REALLY mean we’d cause them any physical harm, we just meant we’d work to ensure their political careers were over.”

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come up with another funny story, asshole: you’re still talking about retaliating against a sitting Senator, and that’s still a federal offense.

Exactly how many pictures of senators in “compromising positions” with sheep could Trump possibly have? I can see it: “Mr. Trump, there’s a problem here: we recovered all the pictures you claim to show senators with farm animals...how come they’re all of the same sheep and all the senators are wearing your suit?”

It's the more obnoxious way of saying "I know you are, but what am I?" Very presidential and what you'd expect from a 73-year old.

Whatta spoiled brat and wannabe tyrant he is every single day. Even while on trial.

I recommend watching that clip from CBS News. Have been extremely concerned about the pressure campaign behind closed doors AND on twitter. Is outrageous that he can’t quiet his fingers.

Oh, and call your Senators!



(fwiw, I know he’s technically a Baratheon, but Lannister rings correctly.)

He knows it's actually better for him that people won't be watching the republican response because people would see the utter non-sense.
They have no valid arguments.

This, I believe, is another Trump tactic in play (or by design from McConnell).
