The chances of a conviction are next to none but if repeating a lie often enough makes people believe it then it’s time to try that with truth. We need to boil this down to “A vote against conviction is a vote for insurrection” and repeat it everyday until Election Day, 2022.

That's a great idea. On it.

What steams me is, no matter how bad the defense was/is/will be, most of the GOP won't dare vote against Trump for fear of losing his brainwashed followers' votes. His defense could have presented in pig-latin and it wouldn't have mattered. Our system is only as good as those willing to protect it. Too many protect self over country.

You’re right. Even as I was laughing at how awful was this defense, I kept thinking, “It won’t matter.” But this vote was one more than last time. I refuse to say die.
