Red Alert! Red Alert! All bots on deck!

Get out there and hit the keyboards hard. This is not a drill! Uranium One! Where's the servers! Hillary's emails! No collusion, no collusion! Witch hunt! You can't stand the fact you lost the election! Obama's birth certificate! My tux didn't come back from the cleaners! There was a terrible flood! Locusts!

They're out in strength today folks. The SS. Trump was just hit amidships by its own torpedo and is taking on water fast. The trolls are out to do damage control. I sense a real air of desperation as any republican still clinging to a shred of sanity sees the ship going down and is headed for the lifeboats. This leaves the bots and the die hard deplorables and they have deployed in force to try to keep things afloat.

but I couldn't help myself today. Between twitter and the comments on news sites' coverage of today's events, it seems like there's been someone assigned to each tweet or article to parrot the talking points. I think you hit most of them (except for the Blues Brothers excuses) There's a real pattern to it.

I added it in. I don't know if there was an actual coordinated response but I agree, there was some kind of pattern. It just struck me there was a common theme to Trump defenders today.
