Because when you work for Donald Trump, preparation is overrated.

As former President Trump's second impeachment trial charged ahead in the Senate on Tuesday, his lawyer Bruce Castor made all the wrong kinds of waves. In a rambling, and at times incoherent, speech, the former district attorney wowed the world with his seeming commitment to the bit of a flummoxed man suddenly awakened from an Ambien sleepwalk to find himself delivering a lecture in his underwear.

The internet, for once, couldn't fucking believe it.

Others compared Castor's flailing about to another lawyer going viral Tuesday, albeit for the much cuter reason of calling into a Zoom court session with a cat face filter on.

However Castor does have one reason to hold his head high. He's living proof that if you're a rich, white man, with the right connections you can literally do anything you're in no way qualified for.
