Wasn't he going to drive The Beast but the Secret Service wouldn't give him the keys? I hope I'm not confabulating that.

One of my favorite Trump anecdotes pre-presidency is him driving his own limo

I'm reminded of that Rolling Stone series of articles about the extremely lurid frat house sexual assault that set off a lot of folks bullshit detectors, and ended up being totally fabricated.

The final defense of the folks claiming it had been real was that it was "false, but accurate".

The subsequent report by Steve Coll, Dean of the Colombia School of Journalism and author of Ghost Wars, The Bin Ladens, and Private Empire, is a loving nightmare trip about journalistic sourcing, media literacy, and culpability in reporting

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/rolling-stone-and-uva-the-columbia-university-graduate-school-of-journalism-report-44930/

quote:

On Dec. 5, following Erdely�s early-morning declaration that she had lost confidence in her sourcing, Rolling Stone posted an editor�s note on its website that effectively withdrew the magazine�s reporting on Jackie�s case.

The note was composed and published hastily. The editors had heard that The Washington Post intended to publish a story that same day calling the magazine�s reporting into question. They had also heard that Phi Kappa Psi would release a statement disputing some of Rolling Stone�s account. Dana said there was no time to conduct a �forensic investigation� into the story�s issues. He wrote the editor�s note �very quickly� and �under a lot of pressure.�

He posted it at about noon, under his signature. �In the face of new information, there now appear to be discrepancies in Jackie�s account, and we have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced,� it read. That language deflected blame from the magazine to its subject and it attracted yet more criticism. Dana said he rued his initial wording. �I was pretty freaked out,� he said. �I regretted using that phrase pretty quickly.� Early that evening, he changed course in a series of tweets. �That failure is on us � not on her,� he wrote. A revised editor�s note, using similar language, appeared the next day.

Yet the final version still strained to defend Rolling Stone�s performance. It said that Jackie�s friends and student activists at UVA �strongly supported her account.� That implied that these friends had direct knowledge of the reported rape. In fact, the students supported Jackie as a survivor, friend and fellow campus reformer. They had heard her story, but they could not independently confirm it.

The collapse of �A Rape on Campus� does not involve the kinds of fabrication by reporters that have occurred in some other infamous cases of journalistic meltdown. In 2003, the New York Times reporter Jayson Blair resigned after editors concluded that he had invented stories from whole cloth. In February, NBC News suspended anchor Brian Williams after he admitted that he told tall tales about his wartime reporting in Iraq. There is no evidence in Erdely�s materials or from interviews with her subjects that she invented facts; the problem was that she relied on what Jackie told her without vetting its accuracy.

the 2008 election was the first time I really let myself get emotionally invested in politics and I was super excited when Obama won, the ACORN thing was the first thing that made me start to wonder if the guy actaully sucks, at the time I rationalised it as naive cowardice rather than intentional evil but in hindsight I think he just hated the idea of helping poor people vote.

quote:

You keep talking also about collective punishment and killing innocent people to force governments to change their policies; you call this terrorism when someone would kill innocent people or civilians in order to force the government to change its policies. Well, when you were the first one who invented this terrorism.

You were the first one who killed innocent people, and you are the first one who introduced this type of terrorism to the history of mankind when you dropped an atomic bomb which killed tens of thousands of women and children in Japan and when you killed over a hundred thousand people, most of them civilians, in Tokyo with fire bombings. You killed them by burning them to death. And you killed civilians in Vietnam with chemicals as with the so-called Orange agent. You killed civilians and innocent people, not soldiers, innocent people every single war you went. You went to wars more than any other country in this century, and then you have the nerve to talk about killing innocent people.

And now you have invented new ways to kill innocent people. You have so-called economic embargo which kills nobody other than children and elderly people, and which other than Iraq you have been placing the economic embargo on Cuba and other countries for over 35 years. ... The Government in its summations and opening statement said that I was a terrorist. Yes, I am a terrorist and I am proud of it. And I support terrorism so long as it was against the United States Government and against Israel, because you are more than terrorists; you are the one who invented terrorism and using it every day. You are liars, butchers, and hypocrites.

the judge posted:

Ramzi Yousef, you claim to be an Islamic militant. Of all the persons killed or harmed in some way by the World Trade Center bomb, you cannot name one who was against you or your cause. You did not care, just so long as you left dead bodies and people hurt.

Ramzi Yousef, you are not fit to uphold Islam. Your God is death. Your God is not Allah ...

You weren't seeking conversions. The only thing you wanted to do was to cause death. Your God is not Allah. You worship death and destruction. What you do, you do not for Allah; you do it only to satisfy your own twisted sense of ego.

You would have others believe that you are a soldier, but the attacks on civilization for which you stand convicted here were sneak attacks which sought to kill and maim totally innocent people ...

You, Ramzi Yousef, came to this country pretending to be an Islamic fundamentalist, but you cared little or nothing for Islam or the faith of the Muslims. Rather, you adored not Allah, but the evil that you yourself have become. And I must say that as an apostle of evil, you have been most effective.
