Nigga shut up.. Those lawyer stepping aside because Trump ain’t got no money to pay them
Again these motherfuckers really did try to do a coup.
Lawyers are dropping because they can't sustain what he wants. He wants them to argue that the election was stolen. I don't think he understands the seriousness of the case against him. His mind is stuck on election while he could go to jail (under the right circumstance) But we all know the Repubs in Senate will let him go. so maybe he knows nothing will happen and that's why he wants lawyers to argue the stolen election

If you was to put this to a vote in the Senate the Democrats would pull 3 to 4 Republicans.
And even with this and so much more that has already come out, I still say that they're not going to convict or am too skeptical to believe this changes anyone's mind (RepubliKKKLans). The evidence is all there and in plain sight. Yet Republicans are rallying with talking points that the general public is parroting.
Romney
Collins
Murkowski
and an asshole to be named later.
Maybe a few more that grew a pair. Possibly Mitch, just so he can act like he tried to do something, but honestly at this point he might be in fuck it mode himself.
Trump may defend himself at impeachment trial -- to save himself money on lawyers: report
On Saturday night, CNN dropped a bombshell report that Donald Trump lost all five of his impeachment lawyers -- with just over a week to go before his second impeachment trial.
Legal experts were mystified as to what might happen next, and joked that Trump could serve as his own defense.
"Trump can always choose to rep himself at impeachment," former federal prosecutor Elie Honig tweeted.
Former SDNY U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara also noted that was an option.
"Self-representation would be great for ratings," Bharara predicted.
The jokes may actually come true.
Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman noted on Twitter that Trump has been considering skipping representation.
In any other world, I wouldn't imagine this happening. But I can see him being stupid enough to do this.
While all of that other stuff is true, I could easily see a stunt like this backfiring. If you're a GOP senator, it'd be one thing to pretend the case isn't there and another to try and ignore it while Trump is physically present spouting nonsense. Knowing Trump, he'd probably violate a rule or law while in the actual chamber.
Ten Senate Republicans propose compromise covid relief package, request meeting with Biden

Ten Senate Republicans propose compromise covid relief package, request meeting with Biden
Ten Republican senators announced plans Sunday to release an approximately $600 billion covid relief package that could serve as a bipartisan alternative to President Biden’s $1.9 trillion plan, and requested a meeting with the president to discuss it.

The senators, led by Susan Collins (R-Maine), said they would release additional details of the package on Monday. In a letter to Biden they said they were offering their proposal in recognition of the president’s “calls for unity.”
“We want to work in good faith with you and your administration to meet the health, economic and societal challenges of the covid crisis,” they wrote.
Their move comes as Democrats prepare to move forward on Monday to set up a partisan path forward for Biden’s relief bill, which Republicans have dismissed as overly costly given some $4 trillion Congress has already committed to fighting the pandemic, including $900 billion in December.

The GOP proposal is expected to jettison certain elements that have drawn Republican opposition, such as increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.
It would also reduce the size of a new round of checks Biden wants to send to Americans, from $1,400 per individual to $1,000 -- while significantly reducing the income limits that determine eligibility for the stimulus payments.
A $600 billion plan that is a fraction of the size of Biden’s proposal is unlikely to draw much if any Democratic support. However, the GOP offer presents a test for Biden, who campaigned on being a bipartisan deal-maker and now must decide whether to ignore the GOP overture or make a genuine effort to find common ground across the aisle.
New Georgia Democratic senators push for fast action on new stimulus checks to fulfill campaign pledge
Top Biden economic adviser Brian Deese said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the White House had received the Republicans’ letter and would review it. But he emphasized that speed was of the essence, and refused to say whether Biden was open to entertaining a smaller overall price tag.
“The president is uncompromising when it comes to the speed that we need to act at to address this crisis,” Deese said.
“The provisions of the president’s plan, the American Rescue Plan, are calibrated to the economic crisis that we face,” Deese said.
Because the Senate is split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats, it is significant that Republicans assembled 10 lawmakers to get behind the proposal. That means that, if Democrats were to join them, they could reach the 60-vote threshold necessary to pass legislation under regular Senate procedures.
Democrats are planning to skirt the 60-vote requirement using special budget rules that would allow the Biden package to pass with a simple majority vote. Democrats control the Senate because Vice President Harris can cast tie-breaking votes.
Democratic aides said the GOP proposal would not change their plans to move forward with the budget bill this week that would set the stage for party-line passage of Biden’s plan.
Biden unveils $1.9 trillion health-care and economic relief package
Biden’s plan would send $1,400 payments to individuals with incomes up to $75,000 per year, and couples making up to $150,000.
Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), one of the signers of the letter, said the GOP plan would lower those thresholds to $50,000 for individuals and $100,000 for couples. Instead of $1,400 checks, the GOP plan would propose $1,000 checks, according to Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), another member of the group.
Portman criticized Democrats for their plans to go it alone, saying this approach would “jam Republicans and really jam the country,”
The signers of the letter include eight Republican senators who are part of a bipartisan group that has conferred with Biden administration officials about the relief bill. In addition to Collins, Portman, and Cassidy, these are Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Mitt Romney (Utah), Todd C. Young (Ind.), Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.), and Jerry Moran (Kan.). Also signing are Mike Rounds (S.D.) and Thom Tillis (N.C.).
Cassidy strongly criticized Biden for not soliciting the bipartisan group’s input in crafting their plan. Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Cassidy said the Republican package amounted to $600 billion and was “targeted to the needs of the American people.”
Cassidy also said Biden’s push to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour would cost millions of jobs.
“You don’t want bipartisanship. You want the patina of bipartisanship. ... The president’s team did not reach out to anybody in our group, either Democrat or Republican, when they fashioned their proposal,” Cassidy said. “They’ve never reached out to us — that’s the beginning of the bad faith.”
The $900 billion relief bill Congress passed in December included $600 stimulus payments to individuals. Biden’s plan to issue a new round of $1,400 checks would bring that figure to $2,000 -- making good on promises he and other Democrats made that helped the party win two Senate seats in Georgia in early January. Those victories gave Democrats the majority in the Senate, and Democrats including the two new Georgia senators have insisted they must make good on those promises.
“The entire Democratic Party came together behind the candidates in Georgia — we made promises to the American people," Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said on ABC. "If politics means anything — if you’re going to have any degree of credibility — you can’t campaign on a series of issues ... and then change your mind. That’s not how it works. We made promises to the American people; we’re going to keep those promises”

I totally agree...under rule of law and common sense such a stunt would bury the GOP and any who support this non-sense.
Sadly we do not live under rule of law or common sense, the last four years have proven that.
These fools will sell this to their idiot base with the alternate fact that trump was fucking atticus finch righteosly defending the indefensable
