The Senate on Saturday voted to acquit former President Donald Trump on a charge of incitement of insurrection largely along party lines, bringing an end to the fourth impeachment trial in U.S. history and the second for Trump.

Only seven Republicans voted to convict Trump for allegedly inciting the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, when a mob of pro-Trump supporters tried to disrupt the electoral vote count formalizing Joe Biden's election win before a joint session of Congress. The final vote was 57 to 43, far short of the 67 votes needed to secure a conviction.

Republican Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania all voted guilty.

The vote means the Senate cannot bar Trump from holding future federal offices.

Moments after the vote concluded, the former president issued a statement praising his legal team and thanking the senators and other members of Congress "who stood proudly for the Constitution we all revere and for the sacred legal principles at the heart of our country."

But for the liberal NPC, if the publication says the trials were completed, then that's that. In that person's mind, the authority said it, and so it is truth.

God damnit if that's not the truth. They read the "conclusions/results" section of a study and spout it as fact without even considering the methods or statistical analysis. I've seen dipshits parrot statistically-insignificant findings (p >0.05) as if they were proven-fact, never mind the bullshit methods.

For example, CDC is now saying 2 masks prevent transmission of covid by up to 96% in trials. What were the trials? They sprayed particles of KCl (potassium chloride) ranging in size from 0.1-7 μm at fucking dummies with masks on. So not only did they not spray particles similar in size of the virus (~20 nm, 1/5 the size of the smallest particle used in testing), but HOW DO YOU TEST TRANSMISSION TO A FUCKING DUMMY EVEN IF YOU'RE SPRAYING VIRAL PARTICLES LET ALONE SALT SPRAY!?!?

But yea... I still see assholes wearing two masks, showing me the meme of pissing on others without pants on vs. pissing with pants on as if liquids and aerosols are even close to comparable. My go-to reply is "oh yea I bet you think no one can smell your farts because you're wearing pants and underwear huh?"

Which is actually a great analogy for double masking. Fart particles are way bigger than covid aerosols.
