This video is a pretty compelling argument that politicians overuse the verb "fight" and it has become a consultant-driven cliche. That rhetorical point, of course, doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the Trump January 6 speech was incitement. — PolitiTweet.org

So Trump, according to Schoen, only wanted to support a primary challenge to VP Mike Pence. — PolitiTweet.org

Let me see if I understand what Schoen is saying: We need more facts about what happened on January 6. I agree. Let's have witnesses starting with Mike Pence and moving into everyone who was in the Oval Office on January 6. — PolitiTweet.org

From a rhetorical point of view, that may be the best line uttered by the Trump defense team in this trial. From a reality point of view, it is, of course, hogwash. — PolitiTweet.org

Van Der Veen says that impeaching Trump is "constitutional cancel culture."

I like the Ottoman Empire theory. I think I will circulate it on the Internet. Maybe with a photo-shopped picture of the insurrectionists all wearing a fez like a Shriners Parade. — PolitiTweet.org

Who's to say that Martians weren't really the ones who attacked the Capitol on January 6? Or the Ottoman Empire? Or the white walkers?

@KemberleeKaye Again, I was describing the case that was made Wednesday. Obviously, you disagree. But since civility has been the rule in this exchange, I want to say that I respect our disagreement. — PolitiTweet.org

@KemberleeKaye That was certainly the case that the House managers made Wednesday. You may disagree with this case. But I found Raskin's argument persuasive that the Tuesday Senate vote eliminated the argument that trying Trump is unconstitutional because he is no longer president. — PolitiTweet.org

@adamnagourney @elizashapiro @conorsen Of course, Yang isn't on a glide path. FYI--I care a bit about politics and I have no idea whom I'm voting for. Yet there is this notion that most voters have a rank-ordered list of their top five choices ready to go. By the way, a bit has been going on in politics outside NYC. — PolitiTweet.org
