      1. With the impeachment trial resuming, it's worth reflecting on the huge differences between the House managers (professional, focused, convincing) and Trump's lawyers (meandering, incoherent & threatening). But also that the bad legal team will win & Trump won't be convicted

      2. The sheer badness of Trump's legal team reflects not just his trouble getting good lawyers or the weakness of his case but also his contempt for democracy & reasoned discourse. "I can shoot someone on Fifth Ave & my voters will love me" logic.

      3. Trump's godawful legal defense, which included one lawyer intimating another civil war, is itself further proof of his threat to democracy and also the GOP's difficulty in letting go of Trump. More here:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-lawyers-republican-impeachment/ …

          This image is, uh, a CHOICE.

          Painfully true. Bad lawyers won’t matter. This is not about the law, it’s about the self-serving politicians acting in their own interests to keep power/money.

          Of all the images to illustrate this story, you chose the one that just shouts "JEW!" and points.

          What’s funny about it is that he deliberately chose not to wear his yarmulke to avoid offending some of the racists on the side he’s working for and if he had nobody would have been confused about the behavior because it wouldn’t have been mere pantomime.

          David Turnbull @david_turnbull
          Heads up folks: There is a LOT to make fun of Trump’s lawyer about. Holding his hand to his head while he drinks water is not one of them. Either he’s so accustomed to wearing a kippah that it’s a reflex or he’s using his hand as a kippah stand-in to honor his faith. Leave it be.

          Thanks Daniel. @HeerJeet, I strongly urge you/your editors to choose a different photo as art for this piece. The image borders on antisemitism given the context of both what he was doing in the photo & what the article is getting at (I don't disagree w/ the article's content!)
