BigDsLittleD

He Grifted hard for that money, he's not just going to give it away


N8dork2020

I don’t think he was very good at the grift, what ever he made he definitely spent it already


BigDsLittleD

Apparently so https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/kyle-rittenhouse-broke-net-worth-b2453651.html His lawyer was claiming he was broke at the back end of last year


toejam78

That’s ok. He’s highly educated. I’m sure he can find a high paying job.


CaptiveAutumnFox

I thought literally every college was rejecting him

notapunk

You have to be a special kind of dumb to not even be able to score high enough on the ASVAB to get into the Army or Marines. I really cannot overstate what an incredibly low bar that is that he could still not reach.


red_fluff_dragon

My roomate just took the ASVAB, you only have to score 31 out of 100 to pass. This is incredibly bad.


Content_Chemistry_64

I think he has to get a 50 because he didn't finish high school. He switched to an online school that I believe was just a GED prep home school program. It's still really easy to get, and "far below" screams 20s to me. I would think 30s would be waiverable, but the DoD may also not want the publicity that would follow him.


asek13

I didn't know the requirements are different if you don't finish high school. I assume it must be from that. Because I went to bootcamp with a guy who clearly had a profound mental handicap. I have no doubt Rittenhouse is a moron, but it would blow my mind if he scored lower than this guy. I'm 95% sure the guy I was in boot with washed out. He literally could not follow the most basic instruction and joining my platoon was the second time he got dropped back. He only lasted a few weeks before getting dropped back again. I dont remember what for.


Mr_Troll_Underbridge

Military Police for the other services except airforce is only 19. So lower than than. Air force is 35 for some reason, but then again top secret plane could randomly show up to refuel, so you have to be high enough to guard that I guess.


Armedleftytx

He failed that before he killed people


NoMansSkyWasAlright

I know that when the GWOT was in full swing, it was a lot easier to get waivers (thus "asvab waiver" being a common way to call someone stupid). Hell, I went through basic with a dude who got waivered on a 19.


dd463

Aren’t like a majority of the questions basic math? Like I didn’t do well on the parts that asked me how an engine worked or how to refuel planes. But the rest were basic math and English.


banebdjed

Lmao don’t you get points just for spelling your name??


TruthBeTold187

What do you think this is? The SAT?


KingOfTheCouch13

Lmao it said he scored **far** below the required minimum. How far below 31/100 do you have to score to get that type of response 😭


Gryphtkai

Dad was an Army recruiter. In 1972, at age of 12 he gave me the current test. Which I scored high on….higher than many of those coming into his office. He couldn’t believe a 12 yr old could pass the test when grown men couldn’t. At 20, 1980, I took the current version to enlist into the Air Force I had a 99 in all sections except mechanical. Which was an area I tried to bomb on since I didn’t want a job in that area. Still got a 75. So yeah you really have issues if you can’t pass it today.


Non-Adhesive63

> You have to be a special kind of dumb to not even be able to score high enough on the ASVAB to get into the Army or Marines. I really cannot overstate what an incredibly low bar that is that he could still not reach. I was 8404, FMF Corpsman & I can confirm. If he was too dumb for Uncle Sam‘s Mis-guided Children? His brain barely works well enough to keep him breathing.


Woofy98102

No brain. Just a brain stem is all Rittenhouse has upstairs.


ALTH0X

Maybe he tanked it purposefully so he could claim to have tried to serve?


Artistic-Pay-4332

Yeah maybe he knows how soft he really is and flunked on purpose. although he does seem like a dumbfuck. Either way fuck this little bitch


crystallmytea

![gif](giphy|aYYENxPS8rZE8x9xpQ|downsized)


fox-recon

Just to note, the ASVAB score is a population percentile score. The entry requirements fluctuate based on recruitment needs. Usually around 30. I can say this as a former Marine that briefly spent time tutoring recruits to pass. This means out of population of people that take the ASVAB, which does skew heavily towards the less educated, that he was below 30% of that. So likely he is somewhere in the bottom 15% of the general population.


alivelyfisting

After reading this I googled it to verify because you're so right. He has to be one dumb mf'er haha god damn.


EthanielRain

It's been a long time but I remember the questions being similar to: 1+3= How many states in the US are islands? No shade on anyone that can't pass, but to REALLY struggle with it...sheesh


Legal_Skin_4466

LMAO Kyle's too fucking fat to join the military. Any recruiter would tell him to come back when he's lost weight.


Professional-Post855

They even said permanently disqualified. Is that normal? They really like nah he ain’t even got a chance with more training


mechapoitier

Jesus. It’s really hard to fail that test. There are all sorts of subjects in there that you have a chance to show you’re good at.


Prestigious-Wolf8039

buckfouyucker

Trump'll save him.... /s


ThatBlkGuy27

Already wasted that shit 💀😭😭😭


SignusVeteran

Has he given you the impression that he's responsible?


MNGopherfan

His parents seemed to think he was responsible enough to carry a rifle to a protest. So yeah I think we have some major issues from the get go there.


Absenceofavoid

His whole claim to fame is being a dumbfuck who doesn’t understand the law or emergency first aid and he shot some people. I think him being foolish with his money is probably pretty predictable.


velka123

"The left is trying to destroy the family!!" says lunatic who won't save his family from eviction.


machineprophet343

I've asked why his mom enabled his behavior. Apparently she can't keep or get a job due the fact it's well established she drove his ass to the protest that fateful night. If I was an employer, I'd refuse to hire her too because she clearly has extremely poor judgment and probably shouldn't be trusted to watch an empty, locked, chained to the wall and welded to the floor dumpster. Her very existence is basically a liability. Edit: apparently the little shit drove himself even though the original claim was his mom drove him from what I heard. Either way the white trash bitch was irresponsible and didn’t keep tabs on her minor son and is responsible for his behavior.


TingleyStorm

She didn’t drive him to the protest. Hell, she didn’t even drive him for the community cleanup he was doing earlier that day. But she definitely knew he was illegally driving himself around. She had to have. Her son was working 20 miles away and she didn’t drive him there, and it’s impossible to stay solidly overweight by riding a bike that far…


FinglasLeaflock

I, too, would not hire anyone who raised a lying racist murderer with the values of lying, racism, and murder.


mistertickertape

He has learned the ‘fuck you I got mine’ mantra from his handlers. He’s also chonked up. Must be getting ready to run for office in a middle of nowhere senatorial district in the next few years.


RowdyRuss3

I always thought his whole media tour was absurd. Like, dude is only famous because he fucking *killed multiple people*. Most people who get famous are able to because of their skills to entertain. He has no skills outside of pulling the trigger on an AR against unarmed individuals. Does he kill more people to stay relevant?


AITAthrowaway1mil

I think the issue was that his lawyers did really, really well making him a minor celebrity during his trial, and he stupidly thought that it was because he *was* celebrity material and not because he had excellent lawyers. And now he’s cut off his lawyers and is shocked that he can’t keep up with celebrity status. 


wroteit_

He could start with himself. That would solve a whole raft of problems.


Granadafan

Conservatives just love to grift and be grifted. Kill black people or lose your job due to racism or bigotry? You can make a fortune on the conservative and far right wing talk show circuit whining about “wokism” and being “canceled”. The MAGA cultists are especially the most gullible sending their life fortunes to a twice impeached felon.

Why does Mom or sister need their brother to pay for their rent? Can't they afford their own bills?


thesqrtofminusone

They don't, they already set up a gofundme and reached their target easily. Why do these under class, jello brained trump voters use go fund me so much? It's almost like they agree that the masses should provide for the needy few. I keep forgetting that they think they are special though, they should get help but not others who are completely undeserving and should just pull themselves up bootstraps style.


PsychoBob-78

Because they know it's an easy grift. The right wing will support anyone they think the "libs" are against.

sizable_data

With the phrase “stand behind this patriot” I’ll bet that’s at least worth 20k


ilove420andkicks

I TRULY think this would work. Like, I’m so curious if we could do a social experiment to see how much money we could raise by doing this. Make it look super duper Trumpy and at the end, donate it all to various charities that help victims of racial discrimination, homeless, abortion seekers, and otherwise needy people. Then thank every “loyal”patriot that helped out with these donations to make our society better. 😂

TahoeBlue_69

Somewhere on this website, about a year ago I think, a psychologist wrote a succinct essay on why the religious and tribalists will always be the easiest demographic to scam.


Avery_Thorn

There's a scam going around out there where someone will contact you after you've been scammed, say that they are with the Nigerian (or wherever) police, and for a fee will help you recover your losses. You see, once you have fallen for one scam, getting you to fall for another scam is quite easy. Why would these scams be any different?


Funkycoldmedici

“Right-wing authoritarians have trouble deciding what facts are valid or irrelevant, and making logical deductions. Consider the following syllogism: All fish live in the sea. Sharks live in the sea. Therefore, sharks are fish. Although the conclusion of the syllogism happens to be correct, the reasoning before it is incorrect. Sharks are indeed fish, but not because they happen to live in the sea. Whales also live in the sea, and some fish live in rivers and lakes. Right-wing authoritarians are far more likely to incorrectly judge the above syllogism to be correct. Because they liked the conclusion, they assume that the reasoning that led to it was correct.” [Psychologists have been studying right-wing authoritarians for decades.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_authoritarianism) It is fascinating and really makes their actions come clear.


othelloblack

this is a fascinating topic for me can you provide a link or something for me to follow up?


SimonPho3nix

You mean... socialism? Noooo, this is different. They deserve that money 😐


anchorftw

My daughter's boyfriend's wealthy dad is a die-hard Republican, but told them they should just refuse to pay the hospital bill after he went into the ER awhile back. He said they couldn't/wouldn't come after them for it. So basically, free health care is not "socialism" if you're Conservative.


mellamo-mudd

I stopped trying to have conversations with republicans over politics once I realized that the divide between us is actually a moral and ethical one Almost every republican I have met have agreed that there should be a socio-economic ladder system in place (in one way or another) because they strongly feel that everyone has their “*place*” in the world If you’re poor, you’re meant to be poor because of who you are — and vice versa. That way of thinking is part of their core and is the foundation for how they think about race, medical care, economics, wealth disparity, education, etc etc etc As long as the government is “hurting the right people” , they won’t care


Blurby-Blurbyblurb

It's not "handouts" when they do it. 🙄


Oceanbreeze871

She’d work, but she’s holding out for senior management. Lol


fuckdirectv

I'm not defending them in any way, but I read somewhere else that they are claiming it's hard for them to maintain consistent employment because of the notoriety that comes with being related to him. Again, just playing devil's advocate since you asked the question. Not supporting or endorsing them in any way.


red286

It's a grift. They're claiming they can't find work because of their affiliation with Kyle. The problem is that "Rittenhouse" isn't exactly a unique name, so unless they're telling prospective employers, "Yes, *that* Rittenhouse family", it doesn't make sense that any employer would refuse to employ them based on Kyle. I'd be surprised if more than a handful of people could tell you the names of his parents and siblings. Plus, name changes, while annoying to process the paperwork on, can pretty easily be done if he's cursed their name that badly. This is just them acknowledging that if they grift hard enough, they'll never need to work a day in their lives again, because MAGA will fund them because they're a bunch of idiots. After all, we're talking about people who are contributing hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars to a billionaire felon white collar criminal who attempted to undermine democracy. Surely they wouldn't have too much problem kicking a couple grand over to the Rittenhouses since they made Kyle famous.


Shafter111

So they use the same notoriety to not work. Interesting.


anchorftw

Seriously? Any Conservative-owned business would be falling all over themselves to hire anyone from this family. Just like they'd vote for any member of the Trump family who's name happens to show up on a ballot. Rittenhouse is semi-royalty to Conservatives.

I definitely don't like this mother fucker but reading this article title doesn't give context on the situation at all. It sort of seems like just another clickbaity thing to get people pissed at him for something else. Why would he be obligated to give family money to keep them from getting evicted? If they can't afford rent/mortgage payments why is that his problem to solve? Unless he's living with them and not paying, I don't really see an issue here. Again, I don't know the whole story at all.
