" A BOHEM~!"

It’s a word you aren’t allowed to say – lynching – because leftists have claimed domain over it, making it an exclusively race-based thing, which is ironic considering the fact that it was Democrats who were lynching black people in the south. But the literal definition, at least until liberals pressure dictionary.com into changing it, is “to put to death, especially by hanging, by mob action and without legal authority” and “to criticize, condemn, etc., in public.” While he hasn’t been killed by the liberal mob, at least not yet, what the media is doing to Kyle Rittenhouse is exactly what the second definition of lynching is.
It’s shocking that, at this point in the trial, there has really only been one person I’ve seen acknowledge they were wrong about the Rittenhouse narrative, and it wasn’t even anyone at a mainstream outlet. It was Ana Kasparian from The Young Turks. She straight up admitted she’d gotten some of the most basic facts of the case wrong in the past, without trying to qualify or justify her screw-ups. How someone who ostensibly works in news could get these basics so wrong, she didn’t say; nor did she say whether or not lawyers had advised her to “correct” the record to avoid any future liability issues. Whatever the reason, she did it. Everyone else has only doubled down.
Somehow, an event only involving white people was turned into a race issue. When you’re dumb as a hammer, everything looks like a nail, I guess. And when you don’t have reality on your side, create your own and insert something like critical race theory (CRT).
Speaking of dumb as a hammer, enter MSNBC personality and ironically named Joy Reid, who told her audience the circumstances of the trail “are almost built for an actual CRT course.”
How does an event involving white people exclusively become about race? You’ll go crazy seeking logic in leftist thinking, just realize they will do anything to get what they want – the ultimate ends justify the means, people.
Reid and other dim bulbs on the left, Jeffrey Toobin among them, have expressed varying degrees of one of the most popular lines about the Rittenhouse case with the left at this point: “If Kyle were black, would conservatives even care about his claim of self-defense?” It’s a dumb take, and very common. Cable news is riddled with people thinking they’ve somehow stumbled onto something really unique, who collectively belch it out like it’s the first time those words were strung together.
Georgetown Law professor Paul Butler told Joy Reid the Rittenhouse trial was “white privilege on steroids.” (Mental note: don’t let my kids attend Georgetown Law.) How? It doesn’t matter. Leftists never have to prove their allegations, they just have to make them.
Ironically, if Kyle Rittenhouse and the people he shot were black, none of these overpaid virtue-signaling frauds would have noticed or ever said anything about the case – three people being shot, two fatally, is just a day that ends in “Y” in Chicago and not a single one of them can be bothered to give a damn about that.
The media coverage of the Rittenhouse trial is a peek into the mind of fascism. They have only told their audiences what they wanted them to know, now the trial is exposing everything else. In an attempt to cover up their past lies, they’re now changing the subject to be about race. If Kyle is acquitted, as he should be, it won’t be because of facts, evidence, or testimony, it will be thanks to white privilege. Rittenhouse is guilty, no matter what, it’s just a matter of whether or not his skin color gets him off.
It fits the left’s narrative about the country, which tells you a lot about them, but it doesn’t fit the reality of the country, which tells you even more about them.
It’s doubtful a single personality on CNN or MSNBC would mind if Kyle Rittenhouse were cleared, then killed by one of their viewers. They might not like the financial liability their employers could face, but they don’t give a damn about what destruction is in their wake about anything, let alone some white kid who defended himself from a child rapist who’d threatened to kill him and tried to take his gun, another domestic abuser beating him with a skateboard, or another “winner” pointing a gun at him.
The narrative needs to be fed, it’s “agenda über alles” for the left, written in German on purpose. If they have to lie, if they have to put someone in harm’s way and if that harm comes to pass, they don’t give a damn. They don’t look back. The checks keep flowing, and so do their lies and the damage they do. Come to think of it, that’s why they get the checks in the first place. Their philosophy led to more than 100 million deaths in the last century, what’s a few more for the cause?
I do believe this kid had good intentions....from listening to him speak prior to the breakout. He got pummeled in the course of events...Even after he wounded the one guy...he stood right near him while someone was helping him. Then he got scared and called his friend. I think staying right there with the wounded dude....tells me Kyle is innocent.
The left is enraged because someone FINALLY killed some of THEIR protesters JUSTLY because they were trying to kill that someone. This opens the door for others to do the same. This trial means the ENTIRE WORLD to them. If Rittenhouse walks, they have to immediately burn the country to the ground because many more conservatives are going to take up arms to stop the rioting. If they win, then the intimidation of anyone who might do the same increase exponentially.
Yes, this is the same as censoring conservative speech.....limiting the right to protect public and private property from communists.
They want to revoke your ability to resist the coming socialist revolution.
I agree
Trial or no trial, we’ve already crossed that Rubicon. The trial is just a test to see if there is any shred of law abidedness left that can be used against conservatives to keep the tattered wool over their eyes. The fact that a white teen had such presence of mind in defending himself must be unnerving to liberals and the Chinese! The fact is, the country is full of such men and boys...they just need unifying leadership, a vision of restored liberties and a lawful government, and a valid target to which they can point their weapons.
“The fact is, the country is full of such men and boys...they just need unifying leadership, a vision of restored liberties and a lawful government, and a valid target to which they can point their weapons”
Yes. And that absolutely terrifies the left more than anything!
Which is why the concerted effort to quickly demonize and destroy any nascent group of patriotic young men. Proud Boys, Oath Keepers. Infiltrate, destroy, lock up.
And the entire fedgov police state forces are tasked with doing that. “White Extremists!!!” is their rallying cry. The entire news media propaganda arm of the marxists support the effort.
Antifa and BLM are their shock troops. The Patriot side is not allowed to even organize.
The law is no longer the law.
It is just another political weapon of the power addicted controll freak insane left.
Like the media,National “elections” or the grossly exaggerated pandemic.
Agenda isn’t German.
Well said.
I am starting to think respect for the USC is actually handcuffing the right.
I have no idea what you about. Who says it’s German?
Here is a lawyer that gets caught on Zoom, jerking off in front of his co-workers, and his excuse was he thought the camera was turned off.
Toobin is an idiot {and a jerk off}.
WOW, how dumb do you have to be to publicly masturbate and then have the gall to come back on TV?
The narrative needs to be fed, it’s “agenda über alles” for the left, written in German on purpose.
“Behind every blade of grass”
I take it back. Die Agenda is similar to das Programm. Since it’s a noun, you would capitalize the A.
He’ll be convicted...simply because the jurors know damn well that if he’s acquitted Maoist psychopaths will be visiting their homes...at 2AM...with Molotov Cocktails and guns.
Idiot? Dumb? Nope...YouToobin is depraved.
He DID run away.
