The link is a useful complement to the opening argument presented by the president’s defense team in the impeachment trial, and a bit easier to comment on than the video posted earlier, for anyone who feels they can refute the record in a competent way. But I actually want to comment on something else.

Once again, a conservative cries about trying to take the country back to the 1950’s, when “toilet paper” was a vulgar phrase.

The only “war” I see is the one where people expect others to the live the life they expect and not follow the teachings of their own savior; love and acceptance. Attack and tell people you don’t like to change and become the person you THINK you are. The mantra of the minority right.

Judge Andrew Napolitano brings a dose of reality to Fox News and Washington Examiner fans. He completely obliterates the baloney that Trump defenders are peddling. He explains in plain language how Trump’s actions are not just impeachable. They are criminal offenses. In conclusion he writes . . .

Conservative columnist asks a telling question. How can GOP Senators possibly defend a vote to acquit when challenged by voters, hometown journalists or a tough opponent? A trial without witnesses is not a trial. It is a cover-up. The President’s defense team is offering nothing but complaints, whining, obvious lies and name-calling.

That is what Republicans should contemplate: How the heck am I going to defend this to the people back home? Trump’s attorneys are giving them no fig leaves or explanations that can pass the laugh test.”
