"While I’m not familiar with your work, I’m very proud of my work on movies such as Home Alone 2, Zoolander and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps; and television shows including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Saturday Night Live, and of course, one of the most successful shows in television history, The Apprentice—to name just a few! I've also greatly helped the cable news television business (said to be a dying platform with not much time left until I got involved in politics), and created thousands of jobs at networks such as MSDNC and Fake News CNN, among many others. Which brings me to your blatant attempt at free media attention to distract from your dismal record as a union. Your organization has done little for its members, and nothing for me—besides collecting dues and promoting dangerous un-American policies and ideas—as evident by your massive unemployment rates and lawsuits from celebrated actors, who even recorded a video asking, ‘Why isn’t the union fighting for me?' These, however, are policy failures. Your disciplinary failures are even more egregious. I no longer wish to be associated with your union. As such, this letter is to inform you of my immediate resigning from SAG-AFTRA. You have done nothing for me."
It's so refreshing to get a new blast of Trump rhetoric. Therefore, I hope he says yes to the letter from the House Managers,
reported at CNN: "Two days ago, you filed an Answer in which you denied many factual allegations set forth in the article of impeachment. You have thus attempted to put critical facts at issue notwithstanding the clear and overwhelming evidence of your constitutional offense. In light of your disputing these factual allegations, I write to invite you to provide testimony under oath, either before or during the Senate impeachment trial, concerning your conduct on January 6, 2021."

Again the show trial will hopefully take 100% of the full senate’s time for at least the next 2 years.
Overwhelming evidence, part deux. The sequel to more than 17 trimesters of Democrat-led civil rights violations (e.g. domestic spying without evidence), witch hunts, warlock trials, JournoListic braying to diversity and adversity, and protests in insurrection, violence, occupation, and intimidation, implicating Democrat leaders and affiliated "non-profit" corporate interests in collusion, incitement, and forward-looking constitutional evolution.
Trump should say, "Foxtrot Yankee, strong message to follow."
Refreshing?
I thought you wanted normal and boring.
Part 1. You can't fire me, I quit.
Part 2. Truth? You can't handle the truth.
Jersey, after 4 years, Trump IS the new normal.
Perjury trap?
Trump won't testify. Gives credence to an illegal endeavor.
I wish he had been this direct and concise during the Biden debates.
Dear Sir,
Enclosed is a bucket of sand, and a tamp.
You know what you can do.
>>Perjury trap?
Of course.
If he says "Good Morning", they will point out that it was raining, and therefore he lied under oath.
You hope a defendant says "yes" to a fraudulent, illegal, unconstitutional proceeding and to an attempt at a "perjury" trap, where if he says "I'm innocent" under oath, they will prosecute him for lying?
Overwhelming evidence, they said without evidence
Recall when Trump called his Ukrainian phone call a "perfect" phone call. WaPoo, which was logging Trump's lies, labelled this a lie. Trump repeated the "perfect" phone call term 70+ times, therefore it was 70+ lies, according to the WaPoo. The Senate would charge him with perjury.
No sooner did I get this post up than Trump declined to testify.
Mencken: American democracy is the most entertaining form of government.
Foe a long time, Trump has reminded me in some ways of Boss Ed Crump of Memphis, who bought full pages of advertising to address critics real and imagined over issues trivial and important--but always with gusto and with no apparent loss of following.
Anyway, what we have here is a crisis of authority presented as farce. NPR (sorry to keep harping on them, but I've been listening as much as I can stand) is presenting insurrection and incitement as proven facts, and describe everything Trump says as disproven conspiracy theories.

And some of the newstarts sound illiterate
I wouldn't speak to ANYONE under oath anymore in this country. NO ONE.
In a kangaroo court never talk to the kangaroos...
Once again, we are witnessing leftist Democrats overplaying their winning hand. They "won" the election, own the media, academia, overall culture, even the corporate leadership, yet, it isn't enough. Now, they Hector and bully a vanquished president and any citizen aligned with him. Forget about last summer's riots, destruction of personal and public property causing huge financial losses, as well as, leftist support of all that chaos in support of political goals. All that memory holed. They want more than mere victory, they want *vengeance*...
I am in receipt of your letter
And after due consideration
Decline your invitation
For something better.
Dear Disciplinary Committee,
I am sitting in the smallest room of my house. Your letter is in front of me. Soon, it will be behind me.
Yours sincerely,
That actually was surprisingly refreshing to read Trump's comments to the SAG. Gosh, I do miss him after all. He has that ability to not just cut through the bullshit, but to actually run over the people dispensing it. Damn...that was fun reading.
The Commie-Pinko libs continue to kick the sleeping dog, our recently "retired" Commander-in-Chief. He has been minding his own business for the most post. At least since Biden's emancipation from his fruit cellar on 1/20/21.
Now we have the city of West Palm Beach and the actor's union going after him. The Commies may want to back off a back a bit, but you know they can't help themselves. I do not think DJT will sit idly by forever.

That is most delicious
That's not how trials work. The prosecutor has to prove things. Trump doesn't need to prove a single disputed fact. If the prosecutor can't prove the fact, then the defendant wins the point at best, it raises doubt at the worst. Teump is right not to testify. If they dispute his facts, they can prove their assertions instead of the weak House Brief that just asserted them.
“No sooner did I get this post up than Trump declined to testify.”
Of course he declined.

Oh so close! They want more power. “More Power!” Captain Joseph Robinette Biden on the USS Enterprise poop deck.
How awful and dismal the Democrats have become. They are like some dull, minor bureaucrat in a colonial outpost, fussing with a bad comb-over while he complains to his long-suffering native valet about imaginary injuries to the dignity of his office.
I don't think I've ever said this about a Trump statement before: that was a breath of fresh air. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
Re perjury trap - they would have to prove he’s lying, not just state so.
I do think it best to avoid though, since he would crush them and make them cry and run from the gallery. That would be tough to watch. Or maybe not.
You have thus attempted to put critical facts at issue notwithstanding the clear and overwhelming evidence of your constitutional offense
What is this garbage? Are they just rerunning their taking points from the last impeachment?
It is morally reprehensible to imply anything by a refusal to testify, even in a non court of law.
Simply consider the source.
Giving Donald Trump a stage? Why yes, throw him into that briar patch.
Under oath is a perjury trap.
Testifying when you're told the facts are known and any contesting of them is lying is stupid. The House Brief said the proof was plain and required no analysis. So they should get with refuting the defense's rejection of their baseless assertions instead of making bad Faith offers to listen.
It must be disconcerting for the House impeacment managers to discover that their target doesn't accept their premises.
Matt Sablan said...As is anyone's natural born right when accused of something. It is morally reprehensible to imply anything by a refusal to testify, even in a non court of law.
The rules are different. It's Trump.
In any case, WE make the rules.
I am curious as to what questions they would ask Trump.
Collective bargaining and unions are really useless in this modern age.
The only thing union dues accomplish is removal, like a tax, of income from the paycheck. Rest assured that money goes straight to the union bosses easy gig, and the democrat party.
Trump would be testifying before the Senate NOT a court of law.
When was the last time a POTUS testified before the Senate?
The judge on the trial is Patrick Lahey(D) - a person who already stated that Trump is guilty.
Is this how Democrats see our courts and a fair system of justice?
The democrats are the mob.
Trump says he's not coming, but I heard Pelosi's planning on leaving a trail of double quarter pounders leading into the Senate chambers, so who knows.
"Factual allegations," if not an oxymoron is certainly tortured english. And these are supposed to be our intellectual superiors?
"When was the last time a POTUS testified before the Senate?"
-- See, is Trump technically the president while he's there? Since he's being impeached "as if he were president," does he get to be president during the impeachment, or is he only still essentially the president for instances where it is beneficial, but not still the president, for instances that it wouldn't be. Like, how much executive privilege can he claim? Can he claim Executive Privilege for conversations he's been having about the impeachment, as that is while he is acting in his capacity as President?
Remember when Clinton (Bill that is) pleaded no contest to a perjury charge?
I must have missed the impeachment.
Wait: "We are in receipt of your latest public relations stunt." That's... that's the best legalistic "f--- you" I've read.
"Don"t try to confuse the issue of your guilt by disputing 'critical facts.'
The fact that you have denied our statement that you are guilty means that you must be guilty.
Go away, but stick around so that we can make a show of convicting you.
Case closed."

“No sooner did I get this post up than Trump declined to testify.”
Of course he declined.
People of high station don’t duel with people of low station. It is beneath them. It was impertinent for Congress to even propose it.
John Roberts declined to judge the trial. The Constitution mandates the Chief Justice presides. Without the Chief Justice, the trial can't proceed, and the current clown circus has no authority.
For Trump to agree, he acknowledges credibility to what is already only a group of Senators flapping their guns. Considering the amount of money spent on this kangaroo court, it appears Congress is again wasting money for political theater.
Also--Isn't it the Senate that has the prerogative of inviting the former President to testify?
The House Managers can subpoena witnesses, but the Senate is supposed to be running the "trial."
You didnt drown, so you're a witch.
We talking OATH oath fer real here? Or HRC oath?
This being a quasi-criminal punitive proceeding, of course it was HIGHLY improper for the prosecution to even ask the defendant to testify, much less bait him. That in itself is grounds for a mistrial and dismissal.
"We talking OATH oath fer real here? Or HRC oath?"
-- I wonder if Trump would get into trouble for disposing of his mobile devices with hammers to avoid having to hand them over during an investigation, or if we'd get to laugh it off.
I must be getting old. Bill Clinton WAS impeached.
But only once.
"We impeach you."
"I deny your authority."
"We try you."
"Sod off."
Okay - now what?
Jamie Raskin (D, People's Republic of Maryland) threatened Trump with some alleged strongarm tactics. I wish Trump would go to the "trial" and troll all of the managers. I know it's a perjury trap setup, but the way to answer a question is with a question:
Swalwell: Will you just admit you're guilty of this fake high crime and misdemeanor we took all of 3.7 seconds to charge you with?
Trump: Hey Eric, old buddy, did you know I have a son named Eric? Anyway, how's Fang Fang? Say, since she's Chinese, did you ask Hunter for sex advice? Aren't you glad you could sleep with the enemy and yet be a prosecuting attorney?
Leahy: The witness will admit what he did.
Trump: Hey aren't you the guy from Bernieland who previously voted to convict me and who voted to keep this trial moving forward? Don't you know it's a Big Lie to be prejudicial and claim to be impartial?
This could be the stuff of TV legend. Alas, not to be.
Recall when Trump called his Ukrainian phone call a "perfect" phone call. WaPoo, which was logging Trump's lies, labelled this a lie. Trump repeated the "perfect" phone call term 70+ times, therefore it was 70+ lies, according to the WaPoo. The Senate would charge him with perjury.
That WaPo lie counter is total BS. I searched the database for "vaccine", and most of his so-called lies aren't even lies. For example, this was counted as a lie: "More than one million Americans have already received the China Virus Vaccine, a record pace!”
Factually true, but counted as a lie because they didn't meet the target of 100 million doses.
His claims that the vaccines would end the pandemic were counted as several lies, because WaPo says the vaccines won't end the pandemic quickly.
Absolute propaganda for people who don't want to look at the details of the database.
The best thing the right can learn from Trump is to always fight, and never give up, but in a moderated tone. These words are not the scathing rebuke some would have issued. They are mean, certainly, but nothing that goes over the line. Next time you want to yell at someone on the other side, you may feel like doing at a 10/10, and then you may think the wise course is doing it at a 7/10, but really it should be like a 3.5 or 4.
Trump declined
House managers claim his choice to not testify is a “negative inference”
Are you not bored?
The members of House and Senate are a disgrace, with few exceptions.
President Trump need not appear before these before these low life creeps.
He took an oath in 2017, and has been true to it.
Trump need not take another.
He does not need to talk to any FBI agent without a lawyer present.
But, he should speak to the American people, especially his supporters.
Again, and again, he needs to remind the citizens of this country how corrupt our government is.
He is a citizen who has civil rights under the Constitution.
We have seen the enemy.
It is the congress and the MSM.
For the Senate to impeach Trump, he must be President. So, while he was in the Senate chamber, could he sign an executive order rescinding all of the executive orders FICUS has signed? Wouldn't that just blast the poor, poor Dems' minds?
Just asking for a friend.
"No sooner did I get this post up than Trump declined to testify."
The notion that Trump was going to get within 500 miles of this proceeding much less represent himself has always been pretty inane.
I am hoping not only does President Trump get within 500 miles of this proceeding, I am hoping he gets in their faces..
I also hope he says yes. Or writes to explain why he is resigning from the office of former president immediately. (Surprised he replaced his bold Trump Organization letterhead with an eagle symbol.)
I am also hoping President Trump holds up the impeachment charges for all to see and then tears them in half.
What really matters.

mockturtle said..."Though I haven't watched it lately, Prime Ministers Question Time was far more entertaining than American politics."
I totally agree. Especially when Margaret Thatcher was the PM. It was the most entertaining program on TV. I have not watched Boris Johnson. I have seen a few YouTube videos of Leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg and he is fun to watch.
Immigration reform, not limited to labor arbitrage, but also democratic gerrymandering. People... persons recognized it, and voted for America, first. Another reason to question the irregularities, perhaps fraud, in several Democrat districts - notable Atlanta of Every Child Left Behind fame - and, despite Democrat resistance to guarantee civil rights, collusion with foreign and domestic patrons, and multi-trimester legacy of insurrection and diversity, audit the vote.

In a kangaroo court never talk to the kangaroos...
Wikipedia:
"A kangaroo court is a court that ignores recognized standards of law or justice and often carries little or no official standing in the territory within which it resides.[2] A kangaroo court may ignore due process and come to a predetermined conclusion. THE TERM MAY ALSO APPLY TO A COURT HELD BY A LEGITIMATE JUDICIAL AUTHORITY WHICH INTENTIONALLY DISREGARDS THE COURT'S LEGAL OR ETHICAL OBLIGATIONS.[3]"
[Emphasis added.]
'...The term kangaroo court is often erroneously believed to have its origin from the courts of Australia's penal colonies.[5] The Oxford English Dictionary cites the first published instance of the term as from an American source, A Stray Yankee in Texas by Philip Paxton, published in 1853.[6] There are, however, earlier instances of the term including an 1841 article in The Daily Picayune in New Orleans that quotes another publication, the Concordia Intelligencer, reporting several lynchings instituted "on charges of the Kangaroo court". The Picayune article also asks "What is a Kangaroo court, neighbor?"[7] Some sources suggest that it may have been popularized during the California Gold Rush of 1849 to which many thousands of Australians flocked. In consequence of the Australian miners' presence, it may have come about as a description of the hastily carried-out proceedings used to deal with the issue of claim jumping miners.[5]...'
There is also a photograph captioned: "A session of the People's Court in Nazi Germany, a kangaroo court that conducted show trials of political enemies[1]"

My guess is that the impeachment managers and the Senate Dems are trying to figure out how to compel him to testify. They'd want to play some semantic game where it's not a trial trial, so he doesn't have Fifth Amendment protections, or at the very least want news footage of Trump invoking his Fifth Amendment rights while being questioned in the well of the Senate.
I kept my Clinton 16 bumper sticker on.

Petty games is what all of this is at this point. The House has to prove its case, Trump and his team don't have to prove anything. They don't even have to present a defense, just a closing argument.
Gilbar,
Taken down their Trump banners and flags? I live in central New York. 36 mile one way commute that takes the same amount of time no matter which of the 6 routes I take. New flags and banners and homemade Trump displays are going up.
I’m waiting for a thaw to take mine down. The 6 different flags I have are worn. The Trump flag will be replaced with a “F —- Cuomo” flag available through the Althouse Amazon portal, the 50 star flag with a Bennington 76 flag, the Navy flag and generic Christian flag will remain. Haven’t decided whether to replace the Gadsden Flag with the original Navy Jack, same message. Leaving spots for which two historic flags I decide on. Under the f—- Cuomo flag will be a Confederate battle flag since he’s banned them. I’m leaning toward the Choctaw Brigade, with the Cherokee battle flag as my second choice.

If you can't see the super creepiness in Pelosi's anxious angry face, in Schumer's extremely self-centered and unloveable mug, and in the puppet theater that the less than kind Harris is putting poor Biden through, then you are missing one of the weirdest, saddest episodes in the history of your country because you just .... don't .... get it ..... Those people are not your friends.

She works for a man she considers a rapist.
She wants his job, I get it ....
but rape is bad, Kamala thinks Joe raped that poor woman and Kamala will never ever admit publicly that she rejoices to watch the poor man suffer from dementia, from weakness, from the sort of retribution that old people suffer after a lifetime of bullying others and lying.
Think I'm being mean?
Well I know what abortion at 6 months is, and so does poor Biden, in the coldness of his heart. Difference is, I'm against it, he rejoices in it.
Trump could show up with a bunch of magazines and read them silently while our New Commissars threaten him for not talking. Or play "Words with Friends" on his iPhone.
Because the Senate can't compel him to say a single syllable. He can't be FORCED to take an oath, and he can't be compelled to testify by granting him immunity, since he's not a witness with potentially damaging information about Mr. Big: he IS Mr. Big.
Can you imagine the irony of Chuck Schumer screaming, "VEE Haf VAYS of making you Tolk!"

Same here. And as Temujin said, it cuts through the baloney and gets to the point. This is an important reason Trump got elected.
But once elected, you have to tone down the rhetoric a bit. Ronald Reagan understood this very well. Trump never managed to make the full transition to "presidential". It's a damn shame.

Article I, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution stipulates that the Chief Justice shall preside over the Senate trial of an impeached president of the United States.
We can thank the Chief Justice for making it crystal clear that Donald Trump is no longer the president of the United States.
My guess is someone other than Trump drafted the statement, or at least edited it after the fact. It’s too measured—saying THE APPRENTICE was “one of” the most successful tv shows ever? Trump would have claimed ”the” most successful! Also...”egregious?” Too fancy a word for Trump. Not not that I think he doesn’t know the word, but it doesn’t sound like the vocabulary he uses, at least not publicly, where his statements are public performances for the edification of his base.
I wish Trump would testify and just ask, "At this point, what difference does it make?" Over and over again.
The President of SAG is Gabriella Carteris who was Andrea Zuckeran on the original 90210. A 26 year old high school student. How fitting.
Zuckerman. Spell check sucks.
President Trumps downfall was the result of not being a DC denizen, and had no DC experienced advisors who could carry his message. The "unpresidential" stuff, was because the normal procedure of underlings floating trial balloons did not exist. The President had to do it himself.
President Trump did his own wet work. The same amount of wet work happened. Tt just fell to the Executive to get it done.

When the standup business hit an iceberg in '93, we loaded up the truck and bugged out of L.A. and headed back to the Delaware Valley. As we had been appearing on some television shows in the previous two years or so, we were, of course, forced to join AFTRA (now known as "AFTRA-SAG").
The business was tanking, but, upon moving back east, we still were able to nail down two more appearances on union television shows (on VH-1 and on A&E, if I recall).
The producers sent our checks to Philly AFTRA! And, when we asked for our checks, they told us they were going to use them to pay our dues for Philly AFTRA! (Which was a higher figure than L.A.'s dues!).
We told them that, since the business was rapidly disintegratin, we'll probably never do another TV shot, so we really have no need to be members of Philly AFTRA (or any AFTRA, for that matter).
The receptionist reluctanly handed over the checks.
I have not re-joined. (I think they "Taft-Hartley-ed" me on my Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson appearance because it had been so long. And I lived in Vegas by that time. So I didn't have to join AFTRA this time.)
AFTRA never did anything for me that I couldn't have done for myself. I'm not a joiner. And, back in the early 80s, the dimbulbs in the comedy biz were agitating for an "Association," by which we could band together to fight for higher pay, obtain health insurance, etc. They eventually exhorted members to avail themselves of the opportunity to get insurance under an umbrella group that catered to independent artists. I called them up and asked them, "Do I have to be a member of the Professonal Comedians' Association to get this insurance," they said, "No." I relayed this to a colleague (who was running for president of the PCA) and he said (and I quote, exactly): "Well, we'll see about that!" The only other time I tried to get the PCA to actually go to bat for me (as I was cancelle with less than 60 days, in spite of a CONTRACT!) I was told that there was nothing the PCA could do because... wait for it... the club owner was an "Associate Member" of the PCA, so their hands were tied. A club owner was a member of the comedians' union? Sounds like a fox being an "Associate Member" of the chickens' union.
I cheered the letter.

Socrates deserved his sentence. It was, essentially, his punishment for supporting the 30 tyrants.
Something our "educated" class should think about. Of course, that would require that they be capable of thinking
I seem to recall Trump mentioning being a fan of The Fountainhead somewhere along the way. I wonder if he imagines himself giving his own version of the novel's courtroom speech.
