You do know what he was acquitted for, right?
I don't think they know much of anything. Acquittal also doesn't mean "not guilty" of what he is accused of. As folks have been so keen to throw around, this is a political process, not a criminal one. Acquittal, just like last time, doesn't mean Trump didn't do what he was accused of.

Guy is ok you can drop the act now 80 million votes Biden is not going to pay you
Well, if things goes Biden's way, possibly more than 80 million will get help, even for the people that didn't vote at all.

A partisan process ends in a predictable outcome. Who can they obsess over now?
Both the House and the Senate had bipartisan support.

I wonder how many nights they'll spend sleeping in parking lots this year. Truly disgraceful.
I'm not even trying to be snarky when I say that this one wins my personal Poe Award because I legitimately cannot tell:
a) what exactly you mean
b) who you refer to
or
c) if you're siding with Valwinz's trolling (unlikely and hopefully not) or snarkily riffing off of it (more likely and what I hope)

yes the old ladies and the people with no guns truly the Stoßtruppen
The Trump-instigated armed insurrection against the Capitol was not just "old ladies and people with no guns."

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

TWO SCOOPS
TWO ACQUITTALS
Two impeachments.
Two popular vote losses.

Oh is that what happened? Bunch of mega karens trying to talk to the ultimate manager? I thought they had brought weapons, destroyed property, assaulted cops, killed an officer, attempted kidnapping of congressmen, attempted murder of the vice president.. guess its not a big deal.

Funny how you guys go from using your own ineptitude as an excuse to using riots. I've been arguing on twitter and they all do the same thing.

There have been ten of thousands of arrests during the protests. Moreover, the protesters arent strictly leftists as you guys would believe. The rioters arent even politically motivated, they are criminals that want to steal stuff.

The insurrection was politically motivated, undeniably all trump supporters, and it was an attack on a government building with an intent to kill and do harm.

Even if the actions of one person that you condemn excused your actions, which it doesnt, you are comparing two different things.

Ironically, some of the rioters specifically (as in, the ones that actually escalated things into being violent riots) were politically motivated... but they were generally alt-right nuts like Angeli who "joined in" on the protests for the clear and express purpose of turning things violent in order to ruin said protests.

I'm just going to call it gg.
When I get the chance I'm moving out of the country.
It's not a matter if, but when shit like this is going to happen again. Also due to aqquitial. It's pretty much okay now to send a giant mob to the capital, or outright demand officials to change votes. And I'm sure there is going to be someone who will pick up trump playbook. And succeed at overthrowing the government next time it happens. Which I'm not looking forward to, since ya know. Facism.

We already know there's a real criminal investigation into Trump's attempt to coerce Georgian officials into committing election fraud, and it might not stop there. Depending on how that goes, it may become an unfeasible playbook. Don't abandon hope yet.
