Dem leaders signal they won’t accept Trump acquittal as legitimate

Democrats signaled in the runup to the looming conclusion of President Trump's impeachment proceedings that they'll simply refuse to accept his all-but-certain acquittal because his "sham" trial lacked proper witnesses and evidence.

Signaling how they will message the saga in the coming months on the campaign trail, top Democratic leaders in the House and Senate argued Trump can never erase the stain of impeachment because the trial wasn’t legitimate.

"The president's acquittal will be meaningless," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., declared Friday, "because it will be the result of a sham trial. If there are no witnesses, no documents in this trial, there will be a permanent asterisk next to the acquittal of President Trump written in permanent ink."

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif. said Republicans may get what they want -- a speedy end to the trial -- but it won't have any value.

Who cares what these a$$holes do, think or say? Certainly, not I. I will say that they have proven that they must never, ever be trusted with ANY power.

I wonder if there is an exorcist around who can drive their demons away.

They didn't accept the 2000 election as legitimate. They didn't accept the 2016 election as legitimate (ironic, because the question Chris Wallace asked to Trump was would he accept the election reults).

Hopefully 2020 sends an unmistakable message to the Democrats and their media wing that they need to re-examine things.

So, you “won’t accept acquittal as “legitimate” . So? You don’t accept a duly elected President because you don’t trust the People you would subjugate.
Heads up - we don’t accept your coup attempt as legitimate...losers.

Of course the Libs won’t accept the not guilty verdict, they can’t. To do so would bring the wrath of their crazy as Bat Shit constituency down on them and make no mistake the Dems are afraid of these lunatics.

Demons will never accept the Living God. Nor will they accept that Our Father and the American People have selected Trump for this time.

Did you think that the trial in the Senate was the end? NO! The dems plan to make Trump’s, and our, life miserable until he is gone. There will be another “Impeachment” after this one, and they are going to go after Pence.

The dems want power!

I saw the title and honestly thought it must be the Babylon Bee.

i.e. as you say, you can’t make this Schiff up.

throw this sham impeachment out on it’s ear- watch the left act like spoiled rotten children- point out repeatedly that they are acting like spoiled rotten children, and wait till they find something else to distract them- it will be annoying- but the4 left simply will not grow up- so spank them and listen to them wail, Tell the public “Sorry folks, we just have to wait these petulant little children out while they throw their hizzy fit’- then move on-

Eternity does not revolve around what you will or won't accept....

That’s OK. Normal people don’t accept the House Impeachment as legitimate.

So there.

“because it will be the result of a sham trial. If there are no witnesses, no documents in this trial, there will be a permanent asterisk next to the acquittal of President Trump written in permanent ink.”

Do it like the impeachment inquiry...only allow Republican called witnesses.

“ Didnt nancy take back the invite?”

Trump should just have an aid deliver the SOTU address to her office on a piece of paper. Then he should have a rally. Deny her the tv time to be seen sucking her teeth and deliberately not paying attention behind him.
