oh, tying together the transitive property of Trump's rhetoric
pretty fucking smart
Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.

As much as I would like to give credit to his speech skills, half of the things he's saying are a case of "no shit, why can't the Republicans see that"

I agree. Neguse is an excellent orator. Every time i see the videos of him speaking at rallies he comes off as a two bit dictator.

Using the words of Trump supporters is a excellent strategy. They literally said they were acting on his orders.

pointing out trump's failure to properly respond is a decent strategy, i think
especially with that "sacred election" tweet

Hearing these testimonies in court that they wanted to assassinate members of congress including Pelosi and the Vice President its truly a miracle there weren't assassinations. Its downright scary.

Letting the sound linger a few frames after the fade with a little processing for dramatic effect. Someone on Rubio's staff is more than just proficient with Premiere...

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Joe Neguse smartly highlighted Trump’s *pattern of conduct* going back to BEFORE the election to make the case that he incited the riot. He says: “It’s not just one speech. It didn’t just happen. It was part of a months-long effort with a specific instruction: Show up on Jan. 6.”

You know, like how a loss prevention agent talks to the police when they come to pick up a shoplifter.

I thought that was usually something like, "Take him away."

This whole thing is being widely televised and reported on, considering the conclusion is most likely foregone, it's better to try and use this opportunity to speak to the electorate. The electorate, by the way, does not understand or like legalese.
