While Lil Kyle, sweetheart of the Nazis and Klansmen, is trying to sue the Biden campaign for libel for including his pudgy, dumbass image in an ad.

Illegally carrying teen, crossing state lines to “protect store-owners?” and murdering a peaceful protester is one of the good guys?

Gotcha…

Enjoy your cellmates, Kyle.

They sure will enjoy having you…

Well this is why Trump cannot denounce White Supremacists and Nazies, it will offend the whole DHS which are his SS, the Proud Boys are his SA.

DHS officials were also instructed to use phrases like “our kind of guy” and “one of us.”

Such a bad-ass foot-solider who needed his mommy to drive him to the “battlefield.”

As a citizen of Wisconsin, let me say this sympathetically.

Kyle Rittenhouse and his mother drove out of state from Antioch, Illinois to Kenosha, WI. They brought their guns with them. During the course of the evening Kyle shot at least three people, two of which were dead on the scene. Kyle’s mother is worried about Kyle. She should be, given that she is an accessory to assault and murder. Kyle longs to be a policeman and protect the community.

The above is how you write sympathetically. If I were to have written without sympathy, I would present only the facts as follows:

Kyle Rittenhouser and his mother violated state boundaries, drove to Kenosha, Wisconsin, stuck their noses into ongoing social unrest due to police brutality, and ended up shooting at least three people, killing two, with an assault rifle. Murder. Kyle wants to be a cop.

I’m starting up the wood chipper.

Not their role by a long shot. It is a disgusting perversion of supposed “law and order” people.

I would still like to know why his mother, who bought him the rifle and drove him to and from Kenosha, hasn’t been charged as an accessory?

You know what the getaway driver gets charged with when the bank robber kills someone? Felony murder.

ETA: I just looked up the Wisconsin felony murder statute, and it does not apply to these facts.

DHS needs to be disbanded. Period. The rot is way too deep there to just dig out a few bad apples.

My list of shit Biden needs to do on day 1 would take more than a day.

Other than adding the entire trump clan to the do-not-fly list and ordering the seizure of their passports, disbanding DHS should be pretty fucking high on that day 1 thing.

He can skip the parade, just swear in and grab a quick helicopter flight over to get to work.

Why hasn’t she been charged for helping him break the law?

What really pisses me off is that “star chamber of public opinion” makes no fucking sense.
