I call them Trumpiespeak:

at this point the Republican arguments are so weak you can’t even call them arguments

they’re tribal bleats

Rep. Katie Hill: I am leaving now because of a double standard ... I am leaving, but we have men credibly accused of sexual assault who are in boardrooms, in the Supreme Court, in this very body and, worst of all, in the Oval Office.

Something about the evil of the state meddling with the free market...

A new report projects that nearly 40% of farm incomes in 2019 will come from federal aid to offset Trump's trade war damage, disaster assistance, the farm bill and insurance indemnities. https://t.co/5XIDuqNHLq

This is also a great thread. Shades a lot of light on the "lesser of two evils" and "Christian Values" administration:

Yes, some support for Trump is "polarization." But it's also something darker: It's a party of opportunists manipulating an ignorant mass of propaganda-addled people. The GOP and its media enablers are as hollow and cynical a group as has ever existed in American politics. /3

Mass communication technology exploited by unprincipled and cynical leaders in wink-wink cahoots with foreign powers, demagogues getting rich by scaring rubes and old people, a sociopath with a cult following. This is something we once would have joined together to stop. /7

There is no "but socialism" or "but abortion" hiccup that is acceptable. None. Republicans did not say "if we impeach Nixon the commies will roll over us and there will be abortions in the streets." They did their duty before the Constitution. The country eventually agreed. /13

If you are still enthusiastically supporting Trump, your politics are morally flawed, or you are lying to yourself. More likely, you know what you're doing, and you're supporting him for the pure opportunism of using an increasingly sick man for your own parochial interests. /18

Man. What the hell happened to Trump today? It’s been bad. But shit got way worse and sideways in a new low. What a total humiliation for those that are still behind him - not to mention this country. If that was my grandfather I would have taken his car keys and called for help.

It perfectly reflects the values of his voters.

These guys are thieves and criminals. Just the kind of people that reflect Christian Values:

My current favorite impeachment defense by Republicans:

“Yes, Trump tried to use taxpayer dollars to extort personal, political advantage from a foreign power, but he's so incompetent it never ended up happening.”#ExtortionistTrump

She says it better:

So... uhm... white evangelicals think that the way to restore the prominence of the church is to ... (checks notes).... embrace a lying, cheating, cruel, ignorant, bigoted, RACIST, woman hating, abusive criminal as their political “Messiah.”

🤔

That’s just weird.

This isn't complicated:

1) Trump corruptly demanded something of personal value in exchange for official action.
2) That's the legal definition of bribery.
3) The Constitution specifies bribery as grounds for impeachment.

To say there's no impeachable offense is just nonsense.
