This is exactly right. They aren’t in disarray at all, they’re very united. They are pro-Q, pro political violence, and proudly bigoted.

So does Trump have a Parler account?
What’s Parler’s status right now. Are they back up an running somewhere? Did they keep most of their users?
Lawyers for Trump are completely pointless. He should just say, “Fuck it, I’m not participating. I’m not coming, I’m not sending lawyers or witnesses. You just do what you want.”. He’s still never getting 17 GOP senators to convict.

They probably asked for a retainer.

“I will be representing myself today, Your Honor.”
Why would Trump need a lawyer? I thought the trial was conducted by the Senate and they just called witnesses.
FYP.
Trump could show up to the senate trial, drop his pants, take a giant shit on the table and then leave. He still gets acquitted with ease. Having an attorney is a completely unnecessary expense.

Seems like it from everything we’ve seen for decades.

No, guys. I want you to defend me by repeating the lies that got me here! Or you can walk. Is that clear?

I’m not going to claim 4D chess or anything like that, but Florida Man’s actions are completely rational here. The outcome of the trial is not in doubt. So, he might as well use it to promote whatever agenda he likes. He has no platform now, so he might as well use this to advance his views. It’s the best use of time and resources because he is getting acquitted no matter what.

He still needs someone to present those views. Question is, do they make clown shoes that big?

What happened to Dershowitz? Last I heard he was still in. Did he drop out at some point.
