Weeks after the Democratic-led House of Representatives impeached former President Donald Trump after his constant lies about the legitimacy of the 2020 election prompted a mob of his supporters to storm the United States Capitol in a deadly failed insurrection.

Weeks later, when the impeachment trial went to the Senate, every Senator signed their name to an oath swearing to act as impartial jurors as both the House impeachment managers and Trump's defense team argued their cases.

Unlike in a court of law, there are no potential legal penalties to Senators who break this oath.

Some of Trump's most vocal supporters in the Senate are taking advantage of this, and at least three of them met with Trump's defense team immediately after the House impeachment managers finished their opening arguments before the chamber.

Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Mike Lee (R-UT) were among them, and Graham was spotted quickly exiting after a 70 minute meeting.

Trump himself was reportedly enraged by the ineptitude of his defense team after head defense lawyer Bruce Castor delivered a bumbling diatribe against the legitimacy of a Senate trial against a former President on Tuesday.

Trump spokesman Jason Miller even bragged about the open line of communication between the supposedly impartial Senators and the team whose defense they're supposed to be evaluating.

Miller said:

"Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Mike Lee, these are some smart guys with some very good ideas, and I think President Trump is going to get the absolute best defense today, and it was a real honor to have those Senators come in and give us some additional ideas, so we're appreciative for that."

People were outraged at the corruption on display.






Some say their votes should be disqualified.



Trump's defense completed their defense in around two and a half hours, despite a 16 hour allotment. The trial is expected to conclude on Saturday.

Ann Coulter Faces Fierce Backlash After Saying 'We Didn't Kill Enough Indians' In Deleted Post

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.

Fox News Host Jessica Tarlov Slams Jesse Watters For Hypocrisy About Deadly Texas Floods

Speaking on Fox News' The Five, Jessica Tarlov called out her co-host Jesse Watters for not holding President Donald Trump accountable for the ongoing deadly floods in Texas as he did former President Joe Biden during Hurricane Helene last year.

The flash flood disaster has claimed the lives of at least 110 people as of this writing. Among the victims were 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along the banks of the Guadalupe River. Officials warn that the death toll is likely to rise as search and rescue efforts continue amid widespread devastation.
