Went back a bit and didn't see this, sorry if it's a repost. Guess what Trump rates himself on a 1 to 10 scale for his Puerto Rico aid

The Kelly thing is pretty convincing. Maybe Trump was an unintentional rear end in a top hat to the widow.

It was always pretty clear Trump "misspoke." The problem is that the White House's spin is "His heart was in the right place", sane people's take is "he was a callous rear end in a top hat regardless of intent and he owes an apology", and Trump's is "gently caress you, they're lying, I have proof, I dare you to say it again!"

STAC Goat posted:It was always pretty clear Trump "misspoke." Yep. Trump is a sociopath, so its clear he didn't have the empathy to immediately know that he misspoke. He's probably confused why the grieving widow would have reacted so badly to his words, and he thought he was honestly saying presidential comforting stuff, and he clumsily hosed it up. Then when the media called him out, he got pissed and did what he always does when bad stuff happens to him: lie his moronic loving rear end off.

I wonder if today will put a dent in Kelly’s broader public image as “The one we’re supposed to like because he’s going to flying spear Trump to the floor if he tries to launch a nuke”?

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:What about conservatives being punched? The best part of this was that Crowder sucker punched the old union worker first. He went on TV with an edited video and tried to frame it as the "violent left". Then the full video was released by the union guys that clearly shows Crowder attacking first from behind, then getting decked when the union guy defended himself. It was a spectacular self own.

PhazonLink posted:How rare is getting one purple heart, or even two? Purple Hearts are not all that rare, simply because we still have quite a few of them in surplus since the invasion of Japan never happened. You're technically entitled to one for each distinct injury. But yeah, you can usually tell who's full of poo poo by the medals they claim to have and if they use "it's classified" as an excuse. As Don Shipley (real former SEAL and hobbyist fake SEAL debunker) loves to say "*operations* are classified, men are not."

I'm kind of amazed that people keep putting themselves in these situations, where their claims can be checked so easily. What is it about lying in that way that attracts people? It only 'matters' if people believe your claims and it's so easily disproven, I just don't get it.

I think his attack against the Congresswoman was definitely the lowest, most blatantly partisan part of it and the part that could theoretically come back on him. But she doesn't have a big profile, doesn't seem to be seeking out cameras, and I don't even remember her name. My impression is that unlike what Kelly, Trump, Shucks, and Co say Rep Wilson (I looked it up!) actually isn't trying to use this to get famous and was just speaking out in anger for a friend so she's probably unlikely to jump into the spotlight now to pick a fight with Kelly, even if its to defend her own honor because it would be at the expense of putting her grieving friends through more poo poo. Again, being on the side of good and having human empathy and compassion puts you at a strategic disadvantage sometimes. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Oct 20, 2017 |

It only 'matters' if people believe your claims and it's so easily disproven, I just don't get it. When you're with a bunch of drunks at a bar, no one can check your claims and you get to be the center of attention. It gets to be habit-forming. Eventually they concoct a whole alternate reality that stars them and they start to believe it sincerely.

A huge proportion of Americans will believe anything that supports their worldview, and reject anything that conflicts with it. It's dumb tribalism. Not much more to it than that.

Wasn't she the mentor of the deceased? Presumably she had the permission of the widow to be there and to comfort her, but Kelly made her sound like an ambulance chaser. loving dick.

If you're humble enough to make a believable lie like "I guarded a warehouse, never fired my gun in combat, and got a purple heart when a mortar strike made a box fall on my foot" then you're not the type of person who would bother with the deception in the first place.

It only 'matters' if people believe your claims and it's so easily disproven, I just don't get it. Military History Magazine actually did a pretty good article on this in 2009 - there was a district judge in Illinois that had two framed Medals of Honor in his office and would tell lawyers and anyone who visited his chambers that he earned BOTH of them in action (the last time an individual won a second MoH was in 1918, after that the rules were changed so you could only win *once* - Marines were eligible to win both the Marine and Navy versions of the medal). The article also went into really stories about old retired men who were defining themselves by a lie (a large fraction never even served in peacetime), and when they were found out, they'd lay low for a while and then - almost to a man - start up again. They want to believe it because people 1) give them attention, and 2) seem *happy* to give them attention because the gesture requires so little from them but means so much to the person who's *desperate* for attention and praise, that they'll lie about a life they never lived. As for why they don't quit while they're ahead - ask every man who has had an affair that he could've ended before it cost him everything why he kept digging the hole deeper. I'd imagine the flawed logic is the same.

American conservatives have destroyed their own mental faculties with decades of programming propaganda. They have lost their ability to accurately interpret reality. Even the "professional" right wingers fall into this category, especially if they spend time in the RWM bubble. Megan Kelly was shocked that NBC actually does fact checking and doesn't just run with whatever story helps their side. She had gotten so used to the trash being produced at Fox that she honestly believed that's how all journalism must be done.
