We already know that the votes are not there to convict. Trump is no longer the president anyway. The coming impeachment trial in the Senate is nothing more than theater. More specifically, it is theater of the absurd.

Providing an indication of what sort of spectacle we might be subjected to, Jacob Chansley (a.k.a. “Buffalo Guy”) has offered to testify for the prosecution. He is the maniac who participated in the Capitol Riot dressed as some sort of savage with horns coming out of his head.

From the Daily News, via MSN:

Chansley, who famously took part in the Jan. 6 insurrection while sporting face paint, no shirt and a furry hat with horns, was “horrendously smitten” by Trump, said Chansley’s lawyer, Albert Watkins.

But that devotion ended along with Trump’s term when the former president left the White House without granting a pardon to Chansley and others who participated in the riot.

If anyone could make even Senate Democrats look almost sane by comparison, it is Chansley:

Trump is to be tried for inciting the riot by telling his audience to go to the Capitol and “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” No competent prosecutor would bring such a weak case for incitement.

Worse yet, the justification for crushing Parler is that it was allegedly used (as were Facebook and Twitter) to organize the riot in advance. House Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) wants to sic the FBI on Parler on these grounds, in case it manages to get back online. Obviously, Trump’s speech did not cause the riot if it was planned in advance.

The trial is a farce from its conception. Chansley will fit in perfectly.

The more garish the circus, the better for Democrats. Otherwise, no one will watch. They need to keep Trump in the spotlight to draw attention away from Biden’s executive orders.

Liberal establishmentarians plan to milk the Capitol Riot for months to come. Aside from power, it is all they have going for them.
