Question for criminal defense attorney...can ANYONE claim self defense as their defense?

This Rittenhouse judge saying the prosecution cant use certain words because he is claiming self defense, right?

So can any defendant NO MATTER the circumstances, claim self defense? The jury wont necessarily find it was self defense but if once you use that as a defense if that means the other side cant use certain words, that would make no sense to me.

?

Wouldnt EVERYBODY claim self defense then?

Or is it just this bullshit judge who says since he is claiming self defense the prosecution cant use those words?

What apps wont work with Windows 11?

Assuming I have a laptop compatible, and I think I do, what reason is there NOT to download 11?

I use apps like Netflix, Prime/Amazon, Hulu etc. I dont use much else other than basic surfing, email etc.

I have a newer LG...

If a liberal went to a MAGA rally and did what Rittenhouse did...

1.MSM would describe that person as a murderer and radical.

2. GOP would demand life in prison and anything less would result in more violence.


BTW

I HATE making these predictions, sure I am usually right, all I do is ask myself what is the WORST

thing they could do, I predict the GOP will do that and then I sit back and watch.

How many states now say they dont have to accept the outcome of elections? Will send their own electors?

How many election boards have MAGA asshats on them where there is NO chance an election the GOP loses will be certified?

All of this was avoidable but people just had to trash Hillary, from the LEFT is where it hurt. Because when middle of the roaders, when fence sitters heard a certain group on the left trash her they asked themselves "why vote at all?"

And here we are.

Fuck.


(Please, save it if you are going to say the courts will deal with it...they will in some cases, wont in others, but right now the entire GOP is on board with ANYTHING trump wants...find me more than two reps who are against him. Other than Cheney and Kenzinger will go on record being against him, I guess there were a total of 10 who voted to impeach, so maybe a few more. But when people like Grassley SELL THE COUNTRY to trump the way he did, McCarthy, etal...nah, you FUCKED us when you TRASHED Hillary!)

Medicare supplement experts here?

If I have a supplement with any company, it will auto renew each year with of course a higher premium, correct?

What if from the time I started Medicare and a supplement to next week when I am shopping supplement prices (not advantage, I wont do that crap) I have a new diagnosis, for instance CKD-Kidney disease. Let's say I have that now and didnt when I started and I have had the same company/supplement from the beginning:

1. can my current carrier make any changes at all affecting my coverage based on this new diagnosis (answer has to be no but I will ask)

2. if I were to change to a new carrier's supplement, and they ask if I have CKD and I think they do, then what happens when I say yes?

thanks
