This was the whole purpose of the sham impeachment. No matter what happened in the Senate, the dems would say the acquittal is meaningless.

""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."

Interesting that Schumer is still pushing this narrative. It's very clear that the House (prosecution) failed and now want the Senate (jury) to bolster their case. The asterisk will be attached to the extremely partisan witch hunt by the Dem/Socs in the House. They still don't get it, there were no crimes! Sheesh.

Just read that many Democrats attended Trump's latest rally. I'm starting to think that we may have a chance to re-take the House.

I cannot recall a time when Dem leaders haven’t had a problem with legitimacy.

I gave up caring about anything the Democrats believed in a long, long time ago. I just don’t care about criminals and perverts.

Trump obstructed their Just-Us.

If they get him they’re coming after us Deplorables next.

You cannot have documents or witnesses in a trial that have not been vetted. They did it in the Kavanaugh hearing and it was nonsense. They have documents that have not been released and are still the result of a secret hearing...that is not DUE PROCESS! Vetting is how to get at the truth. No vetting is how to introduce political things of dubious veracity.

Say, Chuck, too bad you didn't twist Pelosi's arm and tell her she had to call witnesses and provide documents in the House where the members of the House make the rules rather than demanding that what the House wants should dictate to the Senate.

Chuckie baby had to know that the House demanding that the Senate approach this in a specific way was never going to happen.

Naturally then he won’t be allowed to make any judicial appointments, Scotus replacement for Buzzi, etc because all will be illegit.

That might mean something if they EVER considered his Presidency as legitimate.

Why should they? Demonrats have never accepted Trump’s election as legitimate. Nobody that they know voted for Trump, so he must have stolen the election.

Anybody who ever thought the Nazi ‘RATs would accept acquittal might want to back off on the drugs for a while. Those Nazi bass turds will accept only one decision. Lynch President Trump or else.

Trump should give the State of the Union in the Senate chamber. It is smaller and has much less seating than the House chamber, but the democrats can watch it via closed circuit TV in the House.
