It wouldn't look good to be reading a comic book but do yo think they are saying things that could "learn" him something?

"...perplexing...anyone want Trump in charge..."
The Dems need opposition. They certainly need to prove Trump should be convicted.

If what you saw today isn't proof enough, then you're right in there with Hawley and the rest...
The Dem Party faithful are impressed. Others not so much.

He could be reading comic books.
I just watched Castro (D-Texas) and it was so over the top he had me bawling like a baby!

"This is the most direct language yet from federal prosecutors linking Trump's requests for support in Washington, DC, to the most militant aspects of the insurrection."
The Greg and Melvin response: Evidence? We don't need no stinkin evidence!

Anybody that breaks laws should be charged. I don't care if she is a military vet.

The party leaders know it would be too difficult to prove legally. They have to go the emotional political BS way.

Then why don't they prove the case legally? Maybe it slipped their minds?
