This is what happens when you elect a pathological liar who will BS anything.


Well he did say one true thing. "They say I have the most loyal people — did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters." he said. "It's like incredible."

I think there is a temptation to view Kelly as a serious, buttoned up professional who is being degraded by the necessity of serving Donald Trump for the good of the country. I think this is a wrong take. I think Kelly is a bit of a nutbar, which is why he could find himself appointed to such important positions in the Trump admin in the first place, who is nonetheless more intelligent, responsible, and composed than Trump. That's just benefiting from lowered expectations, though. Once the mainstream media has decided someone is a serious man it's all but impossible to dislodge that reputation (see: Ryan, Paul). So you end up with people writing that Kelly must've lied to defame a Congresswoman's reputation for the greater good. Take a step back and listen to how that sounds.


Given yesterday's totally unnecessary neoconfederate apologetics from Kelly, I think this post held up very well.

It would be better for the USA if what you said had not been true. But, sadly, it is.

Significantly, subgenius has no comeback but mocking you for pointing out that you were right in what you said.
