    Gaige Grosskreutz, wounded in Tuesday night shooting in Kenosha, will need arm surgery

    excerpts:

    "Wenzel, 55, also of West Allis, said Grosskreutz “lost his bicep” because of the gunshot."


    "Grosskreutz, who served as a paramedic for a year in Milwaukee, had a medical bag with him at the protest Tuesday night, Wenzel said. When people came to help him after he was shot, Grosskreutz had the “wherewithal” to tell them to apply a tourniquet to stop the bleeding, Wenzel said."

    How do you know they are anarchists? Do you have their names, or anarchist ID cards? You think that 17YO gunslinger had a right to go and make up his own laws about who can be on that street? How did a 17 YO get an AR-15? How did he get it over the state line? Why is he being charged with crimes?

    Rittenhouse should not have been where he was, playing "Call of Duty" with an illegal AR-15 on public streets shooting real human beings.

    Hogwash! The National Guard is not a law enforcement agency. They have no arrest power, because they are not certified police officers. They don't show up in court to charge a person. They could be called by the governor of the state to help restore order and help, like after a flood or a storm. The National Guard in each state serves under the command of the governor. You talk about your brother? Well, that's just called an appeal to authority, that's if you have ever attended a real university.

    A large cloud of mist appeared near the region of Grosskreutz's arm as it was shot.

    The .223 Remington is not allowed for hunting deer, antelope, or elk, or bears, or big horn sheep in Colorado. The state allows ranchers to use it against coyotes. The state considers the round too small for big game hunting which would likely result in a wounded and severely hurt animal. It is considered a cruel round for hunting deer or elk. The state of Colorado requires cartridges of 25 caliber or bigger, with a heavy enough bullet to kill the game animals immediately and without suffering. The .223 Remington was designed for killing human beings in war. It is a .22 caliber round and ranges from 45 to 56 grains in weight, only good for killing human beings. The US military selected this round during the Viet Nam war so US troops could carry two battle packs of 240 cartridges each, instead of the old M-14 single pack which was heavier due to the big .308 Winchester aka 7.62x51 NATO cartridge. It gave US troops twice the fire power. The AR-15 rifle can accept large capacity magazines, sometimes upwards of 30 or 40 rounds. In Colorado and most western states, hunting rifles are restricted to just 5 rounds while hunting. Most hunters and wild life officers frown when they see an AR-15, because they immediately know the guy with the gun does not understand laws pertaining to big game hunting. Teenagers should not be allowed to have an AR-15, because they are not mentally able to understand the consequences of its power.

    Something tells me he's Donald Junior, maybe? Old Junior has been defending that Rittenhouse here lately.

    Most of the lower bicep is just gone. Nothing to put back together.

    Here's *exactly* why Donald Trump talked to Bob Woodward so much
    Chris Cillizza
    Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large
    Updated 2:39 PM ET, Wed September 9, 2020

    Why Donald Trump talked to Bob Woodward - CNNPolitics

    excerpt:

    "Trump has two Achilles heels in politics and life. The first is that he cares so desperately about how people think of him and remember him that he is willing to do almost anything to impact his legacy. The second is that he believes far too much in his own ability to persuade. Woodward (and the book he has produced) cuts at both of the heels."

    Trump is much the same as the self-described super-genius Wile E Coyote. He just can't let go of another one of his failed schemes and has to tinker with it one more time to try to make it work.

    DOJ’s move to defend Trump in defamation suit isn’t without precedent

    DOJ’s move to defend Trump in defamation suit isn’t without precedent

    excerpt:

    "For a plaintiff such as Carroll, reversing the DOJ’s one-sided decision to swap out the United States for an individual defendant is an uphill battle. Yet, this particular case is still a close call. If a court takes the view that the president is the president at all times, it might conclude that statements on a purely personal matter are still within the “scope” of his employment.

    If the president was only speaking for personal purposes, about a personal matter that predated his presidency, a court might find that none of this conduct fell within the scope of his employment. Then, the president will be left to defend this case against Carroll as an individual, without the help of the DOJ."

    It's questionable why the DOJ waited so long to intervene to defend Trump if it's as common and appropriate as Barr says. The case was filed in November 2019. Barr waited until the court in NY ruled recently that the case could go forward (about two months before the election), which may have required Trump to do a deposition and submit to a DNA test. This is when Barr intervened.

    It would be helpful if Barr cited a list of examples of recent presidents and their cases that were represented by the DOJ. He said it is common practice, which it is for federal employees, but it would be useful to know how many presidents have been defended by the DOJ and for cases similar to that of Carroll's.
