      First, here are the recent Twitter posts from the Chemistry and Biology Department of James Madison University. @Aqua-Letifer and @89th

      BTW, you'd think a science department

      Only if you don't understand what's going on. If this really is baffling to you, I'd recommend looking into the Evergreen College shitshow. It's got nothing to do with what departments teach. It's a mix of extremist activism, useful idiots, and coercion.

      Please love yourself.

        BTW, you'd think a science department would care about empirical evidence and the pursuit of truth regardless of outcome.

            Trump says Rittenhouse visited him at Mar-a-Lago

            (CNN)Former President Donald Trump said he was recently visited at his Palm Beach, Florida, resort by Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who was acquitted last week on all charges after fatally shooting two people and wounding a third during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer.

            "He called. He wanted to know if he could come over, say hello, because he was a fan," Trump said during an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity that aired Tuesday night.

            Trump said Rittenhouse, 18, had left Mar-a-Lago "a little while ago," and Hannity had earlier said that his interview with Trump took place on Monday. During the interview, Fox showed a picture of Rittenhouse posing with Trump.

            "He came over with his mother. Really a nice young man. ... That was prosecutorial misconduct. He should have not have had to suffer through a trial for that. He was going to be dead," the former President said.

              BTW, Wood is NOT his lawyer now. It looks like he might have been originally.

              https://lawandcrime.com/exclusive/behind-fightback-untold-tales-of-lin-wood-an-unreported-gun-incident-and-how-kyle-rittenhouses-mother-sees-it-all/

              Ms. Rittenhouse claims on the podcast that two of #FightBack’s leaders—Wood and conservative firebrand John Pierce—latched onto her son’s case for their own personal reasons.

              “They used Kyle to gain money, gain Twitter followers,” Ms. Rittenhouse told Law&Crime. “I felt now they didn’t care about Kyle.”

              The mother has cut ties with #FightBack to start a new legal defense fund for her son under her control called FreeKyleUSA, and she claims that Wood and Pierce have ignored repeated requests to open up their books.

              “He used my son’s image to make profit off of that. And I asked for an accounting of it. And I never got it. I was ignored,” Ms. Rittenhouse said of Wood in an interview with Law&Crime. “They used a 17-year-old kid’s image for their own political shit.”

              “I asked Lin, where’s the money?” Ms. Rittenhouse recalled separately. “I wanted to see the books, like the accounting books.”

              In an email, Wood denied receiving any request for an audit and said FightBack would be “perfectly willing to undergo any audit required by law.”

                There's no one who would have a legal standing to sue HIM civilly. The parents of those he shot would be the only ones with standing, but they lost that footing the moment their son made the decision to cause rittenhouse to need to defend himself.

                Do parents of adults have standing to sue for wrongful death in Wisconsin?

                No idea. But we have been talking about the Rittenhouse case, and "wrongful death" isn't involved.

                You wrote "There's no one who would have a legal standing to sue HIM civilly. . The parents of those he shot would be the only ones with standing, "

                I'm asking if they have standing. And standing implies some civil tort to sue - such as wrongful death. What other grounds might they civilly sue for?

                You can't just assert that parents have no footing because their idiot kid put Kyle in a position to defend himself. As a matter of tort, harm has a lower standard of circumstance and intent than criminal offense. That's for the civil jury to determine.

                  https://dailycaller.com/2021/11/09/wisconsin-kyle-rittenhouse-witness-trial-prosecutor-statement/

                  A key witness for the prosecution in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial testified Tuesday that he was asked to change his statement by the prosecution team.

                  Link to video

                  I interviewed Nathan DeBruin, the Photochad from the Rittenhouse trial and he explained in more detail his rather shocking meeting with ADA Krause and ADA Binger leading up to the trial.

                  Is this prosecutorial misconduct? Is this witness tampering? Was Binger attempting to get a false statement from Nathan DeBruin for his trial against Kyle Rittenhouse or Joshua Ziminski?

                  Tough questions!

                    I liked the one lawyer bottom left's comment that he wasn't surprised, given their track record.

                      Many DA's have a streak of Nazi in them.

                        I haven't seen too many lawyers who were above trying to get you to say something they could use later.
