"Rittenhouse’s attorney, John Pierce of Pierce Bainbridge, plans to fight the underage weapons possession charge, arguing that at 17, his client could be part of the “well regulated Militia” mentioned in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Put another way, Pierce will likely argue that Wisconsin’s ban on firearms possession by 17-year-olds is unconstitutional because a 17-year-old minor is on the same Second Amendment footing as an adult.
Therefore, the argument goes, the Wisconsin law unconstitutionally restricts Second Amendment-protected firearms possession. Pierce will likely add that the American colonies expected, and sometimes required, citizens under 18 to have and bear arms.
That will be a reach, for several reasons. In the 2008 Supreme Court case District of Columbia v. Heller, Justice Antonin Scalia expressly stated that "Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited.” Up through the 19th century, “commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose," he added."
But hey, trump loves black people. He’s even taken pictures with them!

Curiously, the same the same attorney as Carter Page's (dismissed) lawsuit against the DNC and the same law firm that filed Tulsi Gabbard's (withdrawn) defamation lawsuit against Hillary Clinton.
It's almost like this is a political stunt and not intended as a serious defense.
“Shooting the guy, shooting the guy in the back many times, I mean, couldn’t you have done something different? Couldn’t you have wrestled him? I mean, in the meantime, he might’ve been going for a weapon and there’s a whole big thing there. But they choke. Just like in a golf tournament, they miss a three-foot putt.”
Yeah. Shooting a guy 7 times in the back with his kids right there in the car when you could have tried to back off and ascertain the situation is just like missing a three foot put in a close golf match.

I caught that too, probably another case of laundering of trump campaign funds...

Even with Laura Ingraham desperately trying to bail him out, he still pushed on with the insane analogy.

Here is my electoral college map prediction:
Trump- 313 minimum (wins every state from 2016 plus NH & ME) MN could flip, 323 is possible.
Dementia Joe- 225

The funny thing about that link you embedded.
If Trump wins every single toss up state in gold, Biden still wins.
It has Biden with 278 electoral votes (270 to win) without counting the fate of Arizona, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and Ohio.
Of course he won three leans left in 2016 (PA, MI and WI) that were not considered toss up states then.
But Biden has the same chance at winning Texas as Trump has now in those three states.
Someone needs to try to predict how many votes a third party candidate may get.
Jill Stein grabbed a lot of votes in PA, MI and WI last time.
Many anti Hillary voters had an impact in swing states.
And we saw a lot of posts then of how people disliked the two choices.
I don't see people really disliking Biden except for the super tribal and partisan voters who are not the ones that will be deciding this election.
"When trucks from the rally drove into Portland, Baker said, "it was clear that these folks were coming in ready for something." He described supporters sitting in the beds of the truck with Trump and American flags and paintball guns at the ready, paint balls fired into the crowd and pepper spray clouded the air. Some vehicles even stopped, with passengers jumping out to engage in fist fights."

There's two things at play here. One, the Republicans are fine with posting edited, manipulated and in the end false videos. They're basically dishonest, and there's no penalty when they get they get caught. Two, the so-called base is so sheepish and gullible that they eat it up without questioning whether or not what they're being fed is true. We see that on this thread, where certain posters continually make claims that aren't true and post videos and quotes that have been spliced, fabricated and/or taken out of context.
The apparent point of the exercise was the Louisiana Republican trying to tell voters that Joe Biden supports "defunding the police" -- a position Biden has repeatedly rejected. When reality didn't give Scalise and his team what they wanted, the congressman and his aides apparently decided to edit reality in a more politically satisfying way.

A pic of Dementia Joe's speech yesterday. Why did he need to leave his basement for this? He read off of a teleprompter, took no questions and flew back to his basement.

Completely agree and unfortunately that is a bridge that the traditional GOP cannot uncross. It has not only led to misbehavior with impunity as you point out, but also to cornering the longtime devoted voters (the base) into just believing what they're fed and pointing the finger instead of acknowledging just how badly they're being conned. It's human nature - when people have invested that much in "their team" they don't just abandon their positions immediately, they hold steady, double down and even become defensive and violent in some cases.
As a Democrat, I recognize that the party is also corrupt and that I am being fed a narrative that I am often suspicious of. If I could, I would actually be aligned with a very different party than the Dems, but I haven't found it yet. However, I honestly cannot identify any big enough verifiable lie or corruption on the left that is openly evident with trump's party today. On that note, here are a few things that would drive me away definitely from supporting a POTUS:
1. Nepotism at the WH - nothing signals incoming corruption more than appointing family members to powerful government positions
2. Profiting monetarily from their position, especially in a way that clearly shows their personal ambitions are not aligned with public needs
3. Lying - there is a limit. Making up stuff out of thin air and pushing it everyday can't fly. Also, deliberate lies that lead directly to people dying.
4. Recklessness - when people start dying because of it.
5. Incompetence - same standard as #4
And I would definitely stop being a Democrat if I saw long standing ideals being abandoned just to prop up one of its own. If the party can't distance itself from certain bad elements just to avoid a short term political loss, it's a clear sign that it's been hijacked.

What's amazing is that despite this strategy, he's killing trump.
Biden is in an area with people spaced safely. That's a good image. It's a positive image of showing how to lead.
You prefer the picture of a thousand people packed together without masks on the White House lawn even thought people died from doing the same thing at Trump's Tulsa rally?
Trump is the king of broken promises:
“I am going to take care of everybody,” he told “60 Minutes” in September 2015, adding in a January 2016 interview with the Washington Post that “We’re going to have insurance for everybody. There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.”
------------------------------------------------------------------
“We have a plan that I think is going to be fantastic. It’s going to be released fairly soon,” Trump said after a February 2017 meeting with health insurers. “I think it’s going to be something special. … I think you’re going to like what you hear.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In a March 2019 interview with Sean Hannity, the president again promised “incredible health care that the Democrats, frankly, wouldn’t know how to do.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In April 2019 he said in a tweet: “Republicans are developing a really great HealthCare Plan with far lower premiums (cost) & deductibles than ObamaCare. In other words it will be far less expensive & much more usable than ObamaCare.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In June 2019 he said he would be introducing a “phenomenal” plan that would “be less expensive than Obamacare by a lot” and that he’d be presenting that proposal “in about two months. Maybe less.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
8/3/20: “I do want to say that we’re going to be introducing a tremendous health care plan sometime prior, hopefully prior to the end of the month. It’s just about completed now,” Trump said. “We’ll be doing, sometime during this month, the health care plan, and I think that’ll be before the end of the month and I think it will be very impressive to a lot of people.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
https://news.yahoo.com/trumps-healthcare-reform-plan-is-coming-last-month-153720546.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, this is what Trump told Chris Wallace on July 19, 2020: We're signing a health care plan within two weeks, a full and complete health care plan that the Supreme Court decision on DACA gave me the right to do. So we're going to solve -- we're going to sign an immigration plan, a health care plan, and various other plans. And nobody will have done what I'm doing in the next four weeks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
And here we are, still waiting for his mythical health care plan that he's been promising for four years now.
