Why do Trump supporters like Lauro and Sauer look like the evil mooks they are?

Lawyering pool for tRump has shrunk down to the mook level, simple.

WaPo art. behind a paywall, but the lede says it all...tRump isn't hiding it any longer, no cute words or dog-whistles, just straight-up mob-boss threats. Curious to see if other MSM outlets follow the WaPo lead, or do they somehow both-sides weasel-word their way along reporting on this latest bit of gangsterism from tRump?

NYT wrap-up of tRump's post-hearing rant had NO mention of his "bedlam" threat, or anything even suggestive of a violent outcome to a guilty verdict...so what else is new?

TRUMP: The insurrection clause applies to members of Congress—but not the president.

TRUMP: I could become qualified before the inauguration by 2/3 of Congress removing the restriction.

Sure. If there's enough loyalty left after some have been disqualified by their OWN involvement in the insurrection.

Re SCOTUS and Colorado: one would expect them to restore the monster to the ballot except -- and I can certainly be wrong here -- I can’t see how they do it without crapping all over the concept of states be fully responsible for the electors who get elected. Reminder: POTUS is not directly elected.

All that said, this court fully capable of pulling every and anything needed out of their butts, no legal or anything required.
