"Now that our Republican colleagues have rejected a fair trial — truth — there's a giant asterisk next to the president's acquittal. The asterisk says he was acquitted without facts. He was acquitted without a fair trial. And it means his acquittal is virtually valueless," Schumer told reporters during a press conference on Wednesday.


Was I the only one who heard this and was confused? Is he saying that the house impeached him without facts? Is he also admitting that he voted to convict Trump without Facts and without a fair trial? If you don't have any facts the only thing you can do is acquit.

Yes, he is. He's just too absorbed with his own rhetoric to realize what he is actually saying.

What a gargantuan moron. He must have forgotten: "The facts aren't in dispute."

Uhm, aren't we supposed to ALWAYS acquit when there are no facts? Does this idiot think the burden of proof was on the accused? Answer: yes.

They applied the same standard to Kavanaugh.

Will it look like this:

Donald Trump was acquitted*, with there not being even a simple majority to convict on either count.
