This is not a key part of the closing statement. Is it possible that the Nazi's at zerohedge.com are heavily biased toward kids misuing guns in public in order to kill and wound people? Was it as simple as 'self defense'? (Certainly not.) If the stupid prosecuter and corrupt Trumptard judge allow this trial to fail the way it has been, and thus Rittenhouse walks, this will potentially change the laws about 'stand your ground'/hunting humans, and thus make Rittenhouse more of a hero than he already is among Nazi Neanderthals, and of course set a precedent for them to openly intimidate people with their guns, leading to murders of whoever they want to kill. The US has the most idiotic gun laws, thanks to NRA lobbyists.

Good to know that Trumptards are Democrats, because that's the party the judge is part of. He just also happens to believe in the constitution and is unbiased in how he conducts hearings. Try harder next time!

No. Bruce Schroeder is NOT a Democrat. Moreover:

He's also polarizing the trial, yelling inappropriately at the DA and is in general heavily biased.

he was appointed by a democratic governor in 83, so he's a dem.

First: Reagan's first term was to different, we'd hardly recognize it now. Repuglicans were OK back then, and there was a lot of work across the aisle. Back then, the "yellow dog Democrats" were problematic, leading to the busting of unions thereafter by the Republicans.

Second: Governors in the early 1980s were not as polarized then as they are now, and there was general support by Democrats of Republicans and Reagan &c. Lot's of work across the aisle. Today, not so much.

Third: an alarming number of baby boomers have become more right-wing with age. Many of these old people were hippies, and recently nonetheless voted for Trump. It's insane.

lot of nostalgia for the good old days

yellow dogs going after last major union now, police unions

one of reagans only problems was working with democrats too much which led to a poor economy toward the end of his term which Poppy Bush also got blamed for.

No - the yellow dog Democrats were the unions, who could guarantee numerous votes for Dems in the 1970s. An example today is the maga-church and other wirht-wing evangelical churches in the US, almost all of whom vote Republican. Churches have become important propaganda machines.

religion has always been a political tool ever since it was made up by kings who used it to gain and keep power

yellow dogs just meant people that foolishly voted for a democrat for no reason other than that he is not a republican, basically they got brainwashed. You see that today of course.

Without discussing the various ways to skin a cat:

Religion existed before kings

In some parts of the South in the 1970s, the 'yellow' in yellow dog democrat was 'yellow' (a coward) who voted without having a conscience, and was a dog, faithful to only vote for one party's candidates at all costs. Repuglicans are now famous for these faithful, dumb cowards.

yeah religion probably was invented by cavemen, they would look up at the sky and see all the stars then shamans would tell them stories about it.

Yeah the yellow meant coward. Republicans do it too, the truth being that both parties are in collusion so whomever you vote for is goint to screw you, but if you do go with the lesser of evils you gotta vote for a repub. Maybe I'd say vote for a dem like Bernie if dems ever didn't rig their primaries and allow him or someone like him to run.
