President Biden on late Saturday night issued a statement on the acquittal of former President Trump, in which he said that he was thinking about those who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6, adding that though Republican senators largely did not vote against Trump, the “substance of the charge” was not in dispute.
Biden, in his Saturday night statement invoked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConell (R-Ky.) who did not vote to convict Trump, but issued a blistering rebuke of the president following the final vote.
“While the final vote did not lead to a conviction, the substance of the charge is not in dispute,” Biden wrote.
“Even those opposed to the conviction, like Senate Minority Leader McConnell, believe Donald Trump was guilty of a ‘disgraceful dereliction of duty’ and ‘practically and morally responsible for provoking’ the violence unleashed on the Capitol.”
Biden said he was thinking of those who protected the Capitol during the riots, as well as those who died and remain in danger following the incident.
He also said he was thinking of those who “demonstrated the courage to protect the integrity of our democracy” before an after the election.
The president ended his statement by drawing on his previous calls for unity to heal “the soul of the nation.”

Wrong again.
The charge *had* no “substance”.
Perhaps China Joe was distracted by the Chinese New Year celebrations.
“Biden is badly mishandling this.
Dems in general are badly mishandling this.
Big, big mistake.”
They are using the Stalinist Show Trial playbook, but this is not Stalinist Russia and we are not peasants newly transplanted into a modern society. The intent of a Show Trial is to show the power of the state. No one ever doubted the outcome of a Show Trial. It was Russian Kabuki theater.
Instead of showcasing the power of the new Democratic party, it showed their weakness. Oops!
The Democrats are trying to live the role of Bolsheviks but it’s like showing up at a formal wedding in Goth makeup dressed as Death with a paper mache scythe and expecting the guests to cower in terror.
Oh, as I recall, the Kremlin was surrounded by fences and guarded to the hilt for a very long time after the revolution. (Sound familiar?)
“Substance of the charge”
I was thinking more like the substance of the doctored evidence by the House managers that is not in dispute. Therefore the substance of the charge is in dispute.
The president ended his statement by drawing on his previous calls for unity to heal “the soul of the nation.”
What a POS. If his handlers really meant that it would have been the substance of the statement not a hokey little afterthought tacked on to the end.
The substance of the charge that the election was stolen is not in dispute either mr biden! Truth will ultimately prevail and you will be less of an ‘elected’ president that Ford was!
Substance translates to, meaningless except to MY way of thinking.
Which has always been the case with the dimocrats' opinion of President Trump
What is your take on hunters conduct and the charges against you by Tara Reade SloPoke?
Cheating demented commie
O yes it is. Dems and liberals started the riot.
Yeah, it kind of is.
That’s why they had an impeachment trial, DJT didn’t confess, the charge was “in dispute.”
By he has moronic speech writers . . .
For once in his short administration, I agree with this senile and incompetent POS.
The substance of the charges are not in question. They simply don’t exist.
Defecate in one hand, call for unity in the other, see which one fills up first.
so...
fake but accurate?!
That's their story and they're sticking to it.
What about the substance of the charges of Hunter Bai-Din's payoffs from China and the Ukraine?
Press: Joe what do you think of the Trump acquittal?
Joe: The substance of the charge is not in dispute — my lawyers told me to say that.
Press: Fake but accurate?
Joe: Look, Trump had antifa attack the Capital. He is that sneaky.
Press: Why didn’t this come out at the trial?
Joes: Well it should have. Trump is sneakier than Nancy and that’s why she can’t get him.
Press: Where were you in all this?
Joe: I was home kicking back some medication at the time and Jill was playing some Tommy James and the Shondells and I felt really relaxed and I drifted away in this cloud that looked like a yellow taxi, and it took me up into the sky to see this really old guy with a white beard that lives there and he was playing some church music... and he said “Joe, I have a place for you in the basement, down below where it is really, really hot.”
Press: Are you going to get Trump impeached again?
Joe: Yes, we will vote to impeach him again and send the army after him. We can do that and nobody will stop it. The Republicans will vote with us in the Senate because Trump is a threat to all of them. It will be a nice day in America once it is done.
Tapioca pudding
Tapioca pudding is a sweet pudding made with tapioca and either milk or cream. Coconut milk is also used in cases in which the flavor is preferred or in areas in which it is a commonplace ingredient for cooking. It is made in many cultures with equally varying styles, and may be produced in a variety of ways.
Rice pudding
Rice pudding Old-Fashioned Rice Pudding is so creamy with the perfect texture and sweetness. Only a handful of ingredients and a little patience are needed to make this old time favorite dessert.
Only 1/2 cup of sugar is added and most of the sweetness comes from the milk cooking down.
By the day Biden proves he’s the worlds biggest dumb ass.
Way to go Joe. Way to unite the country Joe.
Hey Joe, 75 million people are disgusted with you for saying that. And they are actual living citizens who actually voted, and they are the decent citizens, the smart ones who were intelligent enough to vote against you.
Compare that to the 80 million votes you supposedly got. Of the 65 million that were real living people, at least 10 million were illegals - and the rest are morons who are either easily brainwashed, easily bribed, or they just have no problem selling the country out to the CCP, or whomever.
Your voters, the few that are real living people, - the few that are actual non felon citizens of legal voting age, - they are morons - an embarrassment - a disgrace to humankind.
Joe, you better get a food taster - because nobody really wants you as President - not even the people that put you there.
