Many Americans anxiously watched the court proceedings of former President Donald Trump's second impeachment trial last week. Many were unimpressed by Trump's defense team, but a montage video shown on Friday was just absurd enough to attract a lot of attention—and derision.

The video was simply comprised of short clips of Democratic lawmakers saying the word "fight" in many completely innocuous contexts.


White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor shared what she witnessed inside the Senate chamber via Twitter and it doesn't disappoint.

Lawmakers from both parties were evidently as surprised, amused, and scornful of the video as many viewers at home.

Alcindor Tweeted her experience after she left the debacle behind.




After watching the video, it's easy to see why lawmakers wouod laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Many people who were watching the broadcast of the trial also reacted to the video with laughter—and a healthy dose of sarcasm.




Others just seemed confused by the move from Trump's defense team.



Despite desperate-seeming moves like this video coming from his defense team, the Senate voted 57 to 43 to convict. But because of the 2/3 vote requirement as opposed to majority, former President Trump was acquitted at the culmination of his second impeachment trial on Friday.

It remains to be seen whether he will face charges in any other courts for his alleged involvement in inciting the Capitol riot earlier this year. Acquittal from impeachment by the Senate does not mean he cannot be tried in other criminal or civil courts.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
