Quite a quote from Eric Swalwell on the parade of GOP members attending #TrumpTrial this morning:

“I don’t think that anything could animate the phrase ‘do-nothing Congress’ more than missing votes and canceling hearings to go up and be a spectator at your cult leader’s trial.”

@GottaLaff @stevebenen
NFL: Congressman Eric Swalwell is actually a good writer...read his book "Endgame: Inside the Impeachments of Donald J. Trump" a while back, and was time well-spent.
@GottaLaff @stevebenen
.
FFS, our "good" guys: congress showing up in court to intimidate the judge is "doing nothing" 😈
.
asshole 🤮
sorry
@GottaLaff @stevebenen
THAT's the remarkable thing about this cartoon level corruption, that congress isn't getting any work done?
.
Like anyone wants THIS congress to get "its work done." 🤮
@GottaLaff @stevebenen
is Eric suggesting they get their asses out of the courtroom and get back to writing their anti-trans legislation or something, what a vapid fucking soundbite, somebody slap him

@punishmenthurts
Um, yes, because they're not doing their jobs, he knows they have no legislation to present, no agenda other than political, Trump ass-kissing grandstanding, and are negligent.

He's making that point to the public.

@punishmenthurts @GottaLaff @stevebenen Let them demonstrate what they stand for. Such crap is unlikely to pass the Senate, and cannot possibly obtain a veto override.

@GottaLaff @stevebenen The matching ties were the awful icing on the cake. But you know what? Not a single one of those toadies actually believes a word of those speeches they memorized.

Nor do they believe it gets them closer to being Trump's running mate, They know *exactly* what Trump is and how he operates. They just don't have someone like Michael Cohen's father to smack some sense into them.

@GottaLaff @stevebenen
And a vast majority of #Republicans are proud of this fact. #Shameful.

@GottaLaff @stevebenen

Did any House Judiciary members show up?

They maybe wanted to distract from the Merrick Garland witch hunt that they knew was going nowhere.

@GottaLaff @stevebenen a documented fraudster & active agent of sedition.
