This may be one of the great understatements of this board's history! I would completely agree. You don't present anything original, just opinions (with no support) that come from media personalities. No critical analysis of what they're saying or trying to square it with reality. Thank you for the moment of clarity!

Or have any critical thinking skills and subject matter expertise.

1. Seems friendly.
2. Asks reasonable (but leading) questions, supported by research.
3. Leaves off with a cheery request to see your statistical model and responses.
My suggestion?
Don't take the bait! It doesn't get better if you share your "model" or assumptions.
Leave this so called "New Era" to his clever little traps.  |
You take all the fun and life out of the board sometimes.

Yes, for someone to be acquitted there would have been a trial. Considering Mitch McConnell refused to cooperate and conduct an actual trial, I'm not sure we can say Trump was acquitted. More accurate to say "the DA" chickened out when they saw who the accused was and understood the overall embarrassment to his community the process would be.
