Got love how Trump joking about the Russians finding Hillary's emails is an OUTRAGE meanwhile I'll guarantee you that this guy doesn't give a fuck that Hillary actually paid a foreign national who in turn paid Russians with ties to the Kremlin for dirt on Trump in order to "attack" out election. Just like Kobe is OUTRAGED over polling data being shared with the Russian. Trump up by 3 in Ohio. As if that's some BIG state secret.

That $200K spent on FB really turned the tide. Along with all of the Russia disinformation. Like................................. people like this are the ones that just can not be reasoned with no matter how much information they're given to the contrary.
"That's not going to happen," President Joe Biden said on Wednesday, when a reporter asked him about reports that his administration plans to pay $450,000 each to illegal immigrants separated from their children at the border

The Clinton 2016 campaign looking at direct and indirect contributions spent over a billion dollars but the $200k in Russian Facebook ads was the tipping point. That is how much the left likes to lie and how their followers love to be lied to. The Clinton campaign paid Fusion GPS more than 5 times that amount for the fake Steele dossier and yet Mueller could find no Trump wrong doing but ignored the Clinton Russian collusion.
What is clear is that in the last decades, people who proudly call themselves professionals have largely allowed their "professions" to be totally demeaned by the left. When I hear Harvard Law Degree, I don't think about Ted Cruz, I think about barry and Adam Schiff. The AMA supported obamacare and have largely supported the Fow Chee approach to killing Americans instead of saving them from the chicom crud. Personally, the law profession has no more professionalism than the used car salesman profession. Then you can toss in the journalism profession. Anyway, the Kyle Rittenhouse show trial is underway. The Assistant DA who is putting on the states case is both beyond incompetent but also lying to judge and jury. Here is a summary of yesterday's STATE CASE and it was nothing but lies. Case should have never been brought, the Judge should issue a directed verdict after the State rests and the ADA should be disbarred. But, Rittenhouse will always be a "murderer" in the eyes of the leftards.
This third day of the trial was perhaps the worst yet for ADA Thomas Binger’s efforts to have Kyle Rittenhouse convicted and sentenced to life in prison for having shot three men (two fatally) the night of August 25, 2020 in Kenosha WI, when the city was suffering a tsunami of rioting, looting, and arson following the lawful shooting of a knife-wielding Jacob Blake by Kenosha police officers.
And that’s really saying something because its’ not like the prosecution out-performed in the first two days of the trial. Indeed, coming into today, the state had yet to present any evidence that was substantively inconsistent with Kyle’s legal defense of self-defense—none.
Today, however, was even worse. Two of the state’s own witnesses, and arguably their star witnesses with the greatest immediate personal knowledge of the events surrounding the shootings—journalist Richard McGinnis who was filming and interviewing Kyle that night, and former Army Infantryman Ryan Balch, who was also armed along with Kyle that night—provided lengthy testimony that not only failed to assist the state’s efforts to attack Kyle’s claim of self-defense, their testimony substantively strengthened that claim of self-defense...
HOW STATE WITNESSES TESTIFY IN A TRIAL OF LEGAL MERIT Before I dive into the individual testimony of state witnesses Richard McGinnis, a videographer for the Daily Caller news organization, and Ryan Balch, a manufacturing worker and former Army Infantryman, it’s worth reminding ourselves what their testimony ought to have looked like, had this been a normal criminal prosecution based on actual legal merit.
As two state witnesses, not defense witnesses, both McGinnis and Balch would be expected to provide testimony that contributed to the prosecution’s narrative of guilt and undermined the defendant’s legal defenses. In this case that largely boils down to attacking and destroying Kyle’s legal defense of self-defense, at least with respect to all the felony use-of-force and reckless endangerment charges in this case.
Kyle Rittenhouse is presumed innocent, and that means that his shooting of the three men, and the reasonableness of his conduct otherwise the night of August 25, 2020, is presumed to be justified as lawful self-defense, unless the state can disprove self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt.
Now, the prosecution doesn’t have to disprove Kyle’s claim of self-defense in its entirety. The prosecution merely needs to disprove any one of the four elements that make up that claim of self-defense. These four elements are cumulative—meaning, every one of the four is required—so if even a single one is disproven beyond a reasonable doubt, Kyle’s legal justification of self-defense collapses entirely.
