DH was talking about how good a job Trump's lawyer, Sekulow was doing defending Trump, not about Trump himself. Unlike the House Managers, he has been caught in numerous distortions of fact and evidence, and even outright falsehoods in the course of his defense.

I still think is likely that if the Senators were permitted to vote anonymously, Trump would lose and be ousted.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

It's a game. The game is rigged, Gunnar.

Tragically so! :mad:

I appreciate that you lack the abstract thinking skills to understand how things like environmental safety or the stability of democratic institutions impact people individually, but I genuinely wonder if you have enough insight into yourself to know the selfish mentality this framing flows from.

subs serves as this board's reminder that every declining society has its share of corrupted stooges that are willing to look the other way in the face of immorality or crime, so long as they 'get theirs'.

Did you actually read my post before replying, or did you read it and fail to comprehend it? I double checked to make sure I was clear. You do this often enough I'm starting to think you really do struggle with reading comprehension. I was referring to Jay Sekulow and the embarassing mistake he made. You just pulled a Jay Sekulow in your reply. Good job.

The same could be said of ajax18.
