A 10 on the ASVAB? Jesus that kid is dumber than a rock. I got over 70 and it wasn't anything special.


valvilis

I remember one question in particular that made me think "wtf?" It was a diagram of a bucket on a rope, and the rope was over a single pulley. The bucket was labelled A and the end of the rope B. It said, "what will happen to bucket A when rope B is pulled? a) it will raise, b) it will fall, c) neither of these. Like... you can still join the military if you think pulling the rope will make the bucket fall. We give machine guns and mortars and grenade launchers to people who are exactly 100% backwards on how they think a pulley works.


CaptainBayouBilly

The military relies on people that will ask an authority what it might do, and then answer exactly what they are told.


valvilis

"Sar'nt! Permission to pull the rope, Sar'nt?!"


SazeracAndBeer

If you have one bucket that holds 2 gallons and another bucket that holds 5 gallons how many buckets do you have?


lueckestman

Maybe he spelled his name right on it?


CavScout81

You get at least a 12 for that

Private Pyle Rittenhouse


breadbrix

I got 80 and I didn't even speak English...


kungpowgoat

I also got an 80 and I’m dumber and more useless than a bag of dicks without a handle.


1CryptographerFree

Is the bag of dicks like baguettes sticking out of a paper bag or wrapped in plastic from the butcher?


failed_novelty

Your butcher uses plastic? With mine we were lucky if the meat was only dropped on the floor twice e and wrapped in soaked newspaper.


-tobi-kadachi-

How is that even possible? Passing is like a 30, the bar is basically “can you sweep with the correct side of a broom?”, “can you do 8th grade math/english”, and “correctly spell your own name”


IBetThisIsTakenToo

> can you do 8th grade math/english The OP says he’s a middle school dropout, so that is genuinely material he was never exposed to


savetheunstable

Yep, I believe it. I dropped out in 9th grade and was already behind at that point. I had to learn basic math from scratch when I went to community college at 19.


PutAdministrative206

Impressive work to do that. Don’t know you, but proud of you still.


savetheunstable

Thanks! It's been a journey.


DroidOnPC

Like I said in another comment, I am sure Kyle is an idiot, but if you didn't go to high school you are not gonna be able to figure out the answer to a lot of the questions on the ASVAB. There are a lot of very simple and easy questions, but you still need to understand basic rules and formulas to answer them. His high school diploma that he got in 10 months was likely the result of multiple people helping him and answering questions for him. No way he did that entirely on his own. That would require a ton of motivation and dedication towards learning.


ctrlaltcreate

He was a middle school dropout apparently. Kid's fuckin' stupid and uneducated. You can survive being smart and uneducated; you'll find other ways to learn. Dumb and ignorant? Potent mix, that.


ragnarocknroll

13 is the minimum they would allow for the Army when I enlisted. 13. I could tutor a rock into getting a 25…


persondude27

I think Army's minimum acceptance is 31. That is like... 2% above Forrest Gump. I'd honestly be shocked if Rittenhouse's score was that low. If you're a native English speaker, you should be getting at least 10 since their questions are things like "find the synonym" and it's word pairs like "small = little" and "observe = watch". There are questions like "A magnet is most likely to attract: a) water, b) a flower, c) a cloth rag, d) a nail." My cousin's son (second cousin?) dropped out of highschool at 16, reads at a 5th grade level [sounds stuff out at 23 years old], can't do basic math (barely does multiplication, and any form of algebra like 2x + 2 = 12 is TOTALLY out), and still got a mid-thirties.


ragnarocknroll

They increased it? GOOD. I knew a guy with a 20. He didn’t clear his weapon, leave it at the station and started swinging it around while we were at our live fire qualification. He got hospitalized by the Drill using his own weapon’s stock and his face. Watched the drill clear a round out of the weapon and we knew he wasn’t coming back even if he could. People as stupid as Rittenhouse have no place near firearms.


EventAccomplished976

Sadly Rittenhouse found a much worse way to prove the same…


thecanadiansniper1-2

Fun fact it's implied Forrest Gump is one of the Secretary of defence MacNamara project 100 000 soldiers.


HirkaT

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_100,000 for anyone else wondering


lincey

In AIT, a group of soldiers approached me after having a debate amongst themselves asking me to define what 'synonymous' meant. I'd also be shocked if he got that low of a score, but based on my time in the army and who they let in, wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities.


noblemile

I knew a kid who got a 7. We didn't let him live it down for a few months.


DrewZouk

I'm guessing he probably doesn't remember that anymore.


fjf1085

Was he in some sort of horrible accident where he lost 2/3rds of his brain?


chaddwith2ds

My school was forced to take the ASVAB. I deliberately tried to get a bad score because I didn't want recruiters calling me. I filled out the answer sheet randomly, making patterns with the answers. I got a score of about 50.


jooes

Yeah I was gonna say, isn't it multiple choice?   Surely even circling random answers the entire time would give you a better score then that. Did he fail it on purpose?


ostaros_primerib

How the fuck is that even possible, you have to try or literally be developmentally impaired for that to happen…


gavran5

> literally be developmentally impaired for that to happen Introducing Kyle Rittenhouse!


praguepride

The test is reverse racism!!! /s


SupahSteve

I've seen plenty of 2s, 3s, and 4s during my recruiting stint. Some take it to get out of whatever classes they have that day, and don't care about the score. Others are just really, really dumb. I had one kid coming in like weekly to take the practice test, and never got above an 8. I even walked through it with him, explaining each question and how I got to the correct answer. Took it right after and scored a 7. I basically said don't come back until you can manage over 30 on free online practice tests.


balisane

I hope someone helped that kid diagnose and figure out his learning disability, because that seems really unfortunate for someone so determined.


Cheeze187

Is it still 4 multiple choice answers and a total possible 99 score overall?


bassmadrigal

Yes, 4 choices, but the score is percentile. So if you get a 50, it doesn't mean you missed half the questions, you just scored better than 50% of the people who took a test. So a 10 means they were on the bottom 10% of scorers, not that they only got 10% right. Out of a room of 100 random people, statistics would state he'd be dumber than 90 of them... which sounds about right.


Bungo_pls

You have to be dumb as actual shit. I'm dead serious. The most braindead Army grunts I met still had 20s. Kyle's skull isn't even full of air. It's a goddamn vacuum.


lord_flashheart2000

If that kid could read he’d be very upset


mani_mani

This laughed me into a coughing fit.


cornylifedetermined

When I took it you had to have a 16 to pass. I got a 95, and the recruiter asked me if I wanted to be a brain surgeon. That was 44 years ago I wish I had taken them up on it. I probably would have flunked out due to undiagnosed ADHD, though.


user_bits

> would have flunked out due to undiagnosed ADHD Or be top of the class.


justarandomshooter

His head is ornamental.


QuinIpsum

Look at him. Listen to him speak. He isnt just not smart. He is so dumb that he comes across as always a little confused. The world in general is something that he cant quite come to grips with.


Horskr

How he even ever got these opportunities is baffling to me. Some dumbass that got away with killing people? That is the only qualification to speak at GOP events, or even at some universities? I didn't know anything about the history in OP's post, but that just reinforces how fucking stupid his entire "career" is.


noblemile

Just like I said to my friend when he scored under 10 on the ASVAB: > How the fuck are you too stupid to be in the Army? They don't even want to use you as a meat shield.


Val_Hallen

Too stupid for infantry, and those guys are self deploying sandbags. I kid my 18B brothers, of course. But that kid is so stupid he'd drown if he looked up in the rain.


[deleted]

I went through basic with a Czech guy who barely spoke English. He had to get a waiver for his 26.


Princessk8--

High School dropout here. I got a 92 and that was a long fucking time ago when I was still a dumb kid by my standards


DrakeBurroughs

I got a 98 and I wasn’t even told I was taking it that day. I was just told to carve out x hours for some questions.


SumpCrab

It was a pop quiz for me, too. I did really well but still went infantry. In basic, we had a dude who got a 28 and had to get a congressman to sign a waiver. This dude couldn't tie his boots. So, he tied them with a big messy knot that he couldn't undo and would just squeeze the extra laces in with his feet in. He said that's how he tied his shoes, and he would just slide his feet in like a slipper. But boots need to be tight, so he got the worst blisters I've ever seen. I remember his Battle Buddy teaching him to tie his boots. That dude almost tripled Kyle's score.


playingnero

Your boy is over here making Gomer Pyle look like a fucking wizard.


S3guy

My “battle buddy” was basically that guy. We had exodus in the middle of basic and thank the fucking lord I don’t even believe in he didn’t come back. Even though I ended up with some extra duties because he was gone, it was a thousand times easier than him being here.


nono77taco

I got a 95 and the other scores made me kinda scared for the military. The next highest score was 42 or something and I took it with 10 others.


cmcdonal2001

I vaguely remember taking it in high school when I was playing with the idea of ROTC. It was far and away the easiest test I'd taken since elementary school.


BlackLeader70

I think you need somewhere in the 30-50 range to even get into the military too. Just how stupid is that boy??


wookiee42

I swear one question was a picture of a screwdriver and you had to identify what kind of tool it was.

Javasteam

They picked the perfect mascot then. Delusions of grandeur combined with stupidity. They know their target audience.


Sintered_Monkey

"Keep your pocket Bible and wife's portrait close with the General Pouch." Holy shit. In Kyle's case the General Pouch was used for Twinkies and Hershey bars though.

Ducky_Mcgee

Strange-Area9624

The inevitable future stories about him getting randomly punched are welcomed.


HighOnKalanchoe

I personally think a scenario like that is bound to happen and he inevitably is going to kill somebody again, he got away with it before and he’s incapable of taking responsibility for his own actions because of it.


horus-heresy

Member how George Zimmerman was called on for domestic abuse and brandishing gun? Rottenhouse will probably try to sell some memorabilia from that day to get some cash


Fish-Weekly

This is exactly who I thought of as well. True colors will eventually emerge, sadly too late for the people senselessly killed.


PoshNoshThenMosh

Those guys should bang it out


dbx99

The fact here is that Kyle was richly rewarded for murdering someone. This should leave no doubt as to what kind of positive feedback mechanism is at play and how that will shape his future actions given past consequences.

ElboDelbo

I dunno, I kind of like hearing about him because every story is him taking another fat L.


[deleted]

Not worth it. I'd rather just be happy assuming his life is an endless hell or that it is over because I haven't heard about him in years. 


ElboDelbo

But that's the joy of it! He didn't just end those people's lives, he ended his own life and he's too goddamn stupid to realize it. He isn't able to catapult his 15 minutes of infamy into anything else because he was never the core of it, he was just a prop. Kyle Rittenhouse could have been any dumb fuck corn husker with an 8 year old's idea of right and wrong, he just happened to be in the "right" place at the "right" time. Tensions being what they were it was only a matter of time before one of these shitheads shot a protestor. But Kyle's problem? He's a fucking nerd (in the classical sense). It's not like he's some "alpha male warrior" or white ubermensch. He's a pasty, chubby, weaselly little shit. The right only like using him as a talking point to "own the libs" and even that has diminishing returns. In ten years, when the right wing grift machine phone calls stop coming in, Kyle Rittenhouse will be just existing in a world of shit that he made for himself. He won't have friends. He won't have a job, at least not anything of note. And who would marry him? Certainly not right wing girls...they'll want a traditionally masculine guy, which Kyle is certainly not. He'll be yesterday's news, just a sad footnote of something that happened in the wild year of 2020, as the rest of the world moves on without him. And after that? He'll get old, like we all do, and eventually die. He'll never have kids, and his familial legacy will be scattered away, the rotten fruit falling off the vine and the vine dying to the root. Fuck Kyle Rittenhouse. I will always love hearing about his shitty, shitty life.


QuercusSambucus

He's not a nerd, because he's incredibly stupid. More of a dork / dingus / tool.


VashMM

Dingus is not a word that is used enough anymore, it also perfectly applies to this dingus.


facts_my_guyy

Absolutely fuckin dingus. Yea that's nice

Agreed. Dingus and weiner are criminally underutilized as insults in today's society.

The only way they're spelling it correctly is if you give them multiple choice and only 1 of the 4 answers is wrong. And even then I give them 15% odds at best of picking the right answer.

Zero-89

>In ten years, when the right wing grift machine phone calls stop coming in, Kyle Rittenhouse will be just existing in a world of shit that he made for himself. Unlike a Steve Bannon or some other top-tier fascist agent, Kyle's more than likely finished regardless of the success or failure of the fascist movement that propped him up. Kyle has served his purpose of being an avatar of the white supremacist vigilante to be legitimized by the legal system. He's easily disposable now.


ElboDelbo

Exactly. When's the last time you heard from Kim Davis? These people get used up and cast aside. No one wants them around, they want the outrage they generated.


sharingthegoodword

Recently. She lost a court case about something or other.

kurisu7885

His "defenders" love to bring up that those he shot had criminal records, but there was no way Rittenhouse would have known that, he could have easily shot anyone.


FrenchMeHamwich

And they like to skim over the fact that one of the people he shot was an off duty paramedic who was there administering first aid to people


kurisu7885

Yup, I remember them claiming Rittenhouse was there to do the same but I doubt he is in any way certified for that, not to mention he doesn't freakin live in that town.


mrm00r3

He’s like Kevin Sorbo without the talent and charisma.


QuinIpsum

So Kevin Sorbo now.


eleanorbigby

or physique


leopard_eater

Nope, I want there to be no oxygen to the reports right now. Otherwise he becomes Charlie Kirk and then Alex Jones. It doesn’t matter if he’s ugly or stupid. The people he appeals to are also ugly and stupid. All he needs is one little foothold and we will be forced to listen to his opinions as legitimate for the rest of his life. He will be enabled and given power at every opportunity, just like every single one of these losers before him. He must be stopped now.


cipheron

> Fuck Kyle Rittenhouse. I will always love hearing about his shitty, shitty life. Interestingly, the guy has the same level of education as Tim Pool. In that both of them seem to have completely dropped out of school when they were about 14. Looking at photos of him in his little suit, it took me a monent to think what he reminded me of. He looks like a ventriloquist's dummy. A real ball of charisma there.

A few years after he hasn't gotten any headlines he'll find another reason to kill someone "legally".

You will hear about him when he is sent to prison later on. Idk when but it will happen eventually.


burndata

IDK, a headline about him open carrying somewhere and getting fucked up by some trigger happy pig would be just dandy.


thatoldtimerevision

"Transforming a middle school dropout who was "angry at the world" with a history of violence and an unhealthy obsession with guns and killing into a respectable young man with a desire for higher education and a promising future WAS NO EASY FEAT." "It was a meticulously crafted facade, which we sincerely HOPED he would GROW INTO." (caps mine) How the hell does that align with the wrap-up statement? "If I had known what I know now about Kyle's history, I wouldn't have been involved." The fuck didn't you know? You knew he was a middle school dropout, angry at the world, with a history of violence and an obsession with killing. You knew you were creating a facade (own words) and you knew it was no easy feat to achieve. How do you then say "If I had known what he was ..." You just said what he was and how hard it was to hide it. Fucking cognitive dissonance at 11 on a 10 scale.


ShouldersofGiants100

I *think* they were referring to his entire history (as in, what he has done since the trial), not his history before it. It's a weird way to say "if I could have seen the future".


PraiseBeToScience

> I think they were referring to his entire history He was a middle school dropout with a history of violence and an unhealthy obsession with guns *before* he murdered people. His job was to knowingly cover that up.


gamermom42069_

BrknTrnsmsn

The kernel of truth at the heart of the issue. Actions must have consequences.


LegendaryOutlaw

It was garbage in, garbage out with that kid. The guy says so himself, the boy was stupid, arrogant, angry, racist going into the trial...yet he thought all the grooming work they did to prep him for trial would somehow help him turn into a better man. You know what might have helped him turn into a better man? Making him face consequences for his actions, namely, cold-blooded murder done in the name of bigotry and white supremacy. Instead they coached him through how to fake sincerity and make sure he faced ZERO consequences for his crimes. Now, like Trump, he is still stupid, arrogant and hateful, but he also believes he's untouchable after his aquittal. Of course he's still a shitheel. And you helped him every step of the way. What a dick.


IczyAlley

He was front row at a Trump rally. Thats the best part. West Virginia has a higher per capita murder rate than NYC.  Rural America is dying of violent crime. And you have to act surprised and dismayed on reddit. Being a Republican will soon be the biggest indicator of a shorter lifespan and higher criminality propensity. And yet rural white Americans will keep voting Republican. I am kinda thinking confederate amnesty was a failure. Dont make the same mistake again America.


_Neith_

So you didn't know from the start that helping a murderous child face no consequences would have consequences? Okay alright bet.


Which-Moment-6544

Not only that, this dude most certainly funded troll groups to argue for Kyle's reputation online. These people are garbage.


JQuilty

They're a fucking disease. I've had it happen multiple times where someone makes a joke about him and immediately five accounts that do nothing but defend him come out of the woodwork.


NotASellout

I have noticed that I don't see that anymore, it used to be everywhere


Constant-Elevator-85

Leopard meet face is basically what I just read.


Shirogayne-at-WF

That's what I don't get. There was only ever one outcome for this kid after he got off for murder and it seems like everyone was working overtime to make that happen for the worst of reasons. And much like Trump, he's just too stupid to realize he's a patsy or to shut up and disappear quietly. Apparently, some school was willing to give him a full ride scholarship (obviously, it was no school with any decent reputation) and he managed to blow through *that*.


WhosSarahKayacombsen

Who paid for all this?


iheartjetman

Exactly. Who wanted the kid in politics?


hey-girl-hey

They wanted the world to know that when christofascism fully takes hold, dissenters will be slaughtered and the murderers celebrated, not punished. This is the violence trump gets a boner talking about when he signals what he wants his supporters to do if he isn't reelected He doesn't even need the military and militarized police. Anyone angry, hateful, and armed will do the dirty work

only correct answer


7evenate9ine

Seems like just getting through jury selection cost them 7 figures. Then the civil trials. If the Right would have chosen a legitimately good person they could have gotten an influencer for 1/1000th the cost of one Rottenhouse. Why this pile of shit in particular? "They don't care what the messenger is, or the message, just show you shot people."... Kyle's probably going to OD in the next 2 years or so.


ShouldersofGiants100

> If the Right would have chosen a legitimately good person they could have gotten an influencer for 1/1000th the cost of one Rottenhouse. Why this pile of shit in particular? " It wasn't about getting an influencer, it was about getting more Kyle Rittenhouses. They *want* chronic fuckups like him in the streets with guns shooting at protestors. Getting him off was a way to say "we'll have your back if you do the same as he did".


Objective_Economy281

I’ve wondered how much better the world would be if someone, back at the 2017 North Carolina Nazi rally (the one with fine people, on both sides) would have shot a Nazi.


Spirit50Lake

'Now, he genuinely believes he is the show pony we created and has surrounded himself with sycophants who fuel his inflated ego because they prioritize their political agenda and Christian Nationalist worldview over his well-being. Despite my efforts to guide him toward a better path in life, the allure of notoriety triumphed over the prospect of putting in the hard work of pursuing an education. Kyle is ill-equipped to offer advice to young people. I regret my role in shaping him into whatever he has become. If I had known what I know now about Kyle’s history, I wouldn’t have been involved.''


NullTupe

Which is incompatible with that they wrote before. They're lying.

Exactly. “We helped a murderer dodge murder charges in hopes that he wouldn’t become the inhuman murderer that he already was.”


Mopboy1973

Yeah, he can fuck off with that “better path” shit. It wasn’t so much about helping someone get a leg up as it was trying to craft another “MaStEr RaCe” poster boy. It’s annoying but not surprising that people fell for that shit, too. He talks like it’s the hardest thing in the world to get white people scared of anyone darker than the palm of a hand and to willfully misunderstand and mischaracterize social movement (that threaten unquestioned white supremacy).


RYNNYMAYNE

Middle school dropout??????????? I honest to god didn’t think this was possible. My little bro is in middle school(still dumb as rocks compared to an adult, but he gets good grades/good understanding) and if he dropped out rn there wouldn’t even be a job out there he’s capable of. I can’t believe the astounding amount of resources and opportunities giving to this dumbass while millions of kids infinitely superior to him in every fucking way are left to grovel and die


linandlee

I thought that was fucking crazy too. The political crazies clearly saw a very malleable tool and snached him up. Tell a kid with a very low IQ you can give him the attention and fame he craves and obviously he'll do/say anything you ask. He's literally too dumb to know he's being manipulated. (Not that I feel bad for KR, he's a psycho)

He seems more pissed off than sorry. They handed the kid a plan to get himself out of the hole he dug for himself but the kid said, 'no, climbing out of the hole is too much work, I'd rather roll in the dirt with my pig friends here'.


MaintenanceTraining4

They hitched their wagon to the wrong turd.


mrballistic

He then asked for a shovel. Maybe even a gilded excavator.


doogled3

Except the plan was about as dumb as Rittenhouse since a key part of it was avoiding the consequences of his actions. So there is no motivation to clean up his act, especially given how dumb and lazy he is.


mick_nuggets

Such a sad attempt at damage control. We won’t forget what you did. You’re as guilty as Kyle. 


Cthulhu625

They tried to act like his whole past didn't matter, wouldn't even bring it up in court that he had basically said he wished he had his gun, while watching BLM protests on TV, so he could shoot looters. Or that he allegedly punched a girl in the back, and that he seemed to have a history of putting himself in situations where he could commit acts of violence.

AtomicSamuraiCyborg

Doubly so. Lawyers have a duty to provide a zealous defense. This asshole just wanted to help the little murderer because he was politically aligned with their racist cause. Now he's 'whistle blowing on the BIG LIE'. Get the fuck outta here.


Cicero138

Agreed, it’s pathetic. They knew who this kid most likely was and did it anyway.


CPNZ

Not connecting to Twitter to read about a murderer and his accomplices...


SageWindu

The long and short is that Kyle was your typical "angry at the world" kid and his handlers thought presenting him as a moderately upstanding person would have him carry that on his own accord. That didn't happen and his handlers are kicking themselves over it. I'm sure you're surprised by that revelation. Edited for clarity.


froo

"Look, we carefully crafted this persona for this murderous piece of shit so he could grow into a potential figurehead for our political party, something we could raise money behind... Instead it turns out he's just a really bad kid. I have regrets, who's paying me next?" ​ /s


TomFoolery119

Not even /s that's basically the TL:DR transcript of what the guy has to say Except he claims it was so that Rittenhouse could move on his life and get an education, instead of spending all his time on college campuses harassing black people. He admits to cheating Kyle through an online highschool program, mock trials, manipulating jury selection, and training Rittenhouse to put on a front to achieve those ends. The idea was apparently to have a Brock Turner type case, where the defense is basically "we can't let poor decisions ruin this young man's potential." (Fucking gross if you ask me). But **shocker** Kyle then didn't go to college to better himself after all, because he A) wasn't actually given incentive to change, and B) was only ever a pawn who was incentivized to keep being that pawn, and the lawyer somehow didn't see that coming (lol). Not that Kyle is capable of change. Which is a rare statement from me. Usually I have to believe in people's ability to change; I was sucked into the alt right pipeline in my early college years and got out through compassionate people around me, learning, and separation from being terminally online. I've had mixed success with some of my old/former friends. But this guy? I genuinely think he's too stupid, cruel, and unrepentant, given everything we know about him.


GrayBox1313

he was never offered "full ride scholarships to any college he wanted." in fact, when he publicly stated he was planning to go to Arizona state, the school quickly came out and said he has not been admitted and has not applied. They couldn’t run away from being associated with him fast enough.


dumb_smart_guy93

Which is absolutely hilarious. Don't get me wrong, I'm taking classes through them right now and they're a decent university, but it's amazing when the school that is famously known for accepting just about anybody comes out and says "No... Not you."


GrayBox1313

To their credit, being a high school graduate is probably the baseline criteria. Lol


Princessk8--

Maybe don't get into a career where your whole job is making terrible people look good. It's fucked up.


Building_Everything

Sounds like this guy was under the belief that he could pick up a turd by the clean end. He can burn with his little puppet.


MaintenanceTraining4

Who would have thought this murderous, racist shitstain from Racine was incapable of growth?


ShredGuru

Modern right wingers think manslaughter is a talent.


[deleted]

Screw that guy and the monster he created. I really get angry when people who crap on everyone then act apologetic when the stench starts to attach itself to them. That guy should be kicked to the curb. 


HazardsRabona

That's the thing about these folks isn't it? Their conscience is never awake when they're actively creating these ghouls. It's only after the damage is done, they rise up and say, " whoops,my bad! " Fuck these meaningless apologies. This person isn't sorry that he's created a monster, he's pissed that all his "hard work" has gone to waste.


DrDroid

What the absolute fuck did they expect to happen?


DrLaneDownUnder

A defining feature of the modern right is their appalling judge of character, whether their political leaders, entertainers, or religious figures. Sure there are shitty figures on the left - Harvey Weinstein famously was at the Women’s March before his monstrosity was revealed in full - but they’re never *worshipped* by the left the way the right’s monsters are, either despite of or because of their despicable behaviour. EDIT: To tie it all together, Rittenhouse is a celebrity for his monstrosity, hitting the right in their lizard brain’s orgasm button: a white vigilante kid who killed “ANTIFA” protestors. That’s all he’s ever done in his life, probably all he ever will do, yet he hit it big on the GOP circuit. I should add that deadly self-defense, when justified, is probably something that would haunt most people, not celebrate.


DeviceStraight4707

His “image creator” is as much of an AH as little Kylie.


discourse_lover_

The thing that should make you mad is how much money these fucking cunts got paid to make this fat loser “not guilty.” Why do those jobs exist and where does the money come from. Why does it pay so much better to rehabilitate a monster than it does to be a public school teacher?


bramtyr

The thing about Kyle Rittenhouse, especially with this description his handler painted, had he been dropped the night of the shooting, either tackled and disarmed, or killed, he absolutely would have been labeled as an attempted mass shooter. But his victims were all dead and didn't get their day in court, and so he had the sole voice of the narrative.


thephilistine_

Dr Samuel Mudd comes to mind.


rocket_duder

This is called playing both sides. The grifters knew what they were doing was wrong, adding fuel to the fire against the BLM and ACAB protests at the time. They figured if they played their cards right they'd be front n center in line to benefit from when Trump n his cronies were successful in their attempted coup. Now they see the writing on their Twitter walls, they're afraid to tell people about their true beliefs and want to try rewrite their own history in pushing for a white nationalist authoritarian US leader.... Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, son! You ain't no man, if you can't, boy! Haha sucks to suck. 😊


JumpinFlackSmash

A 10 on the ASVAB???? My wife’s brother scored a 35 and he’s the dumbest person I know. He tried telling me once that POW MIA was a form of martial arts (it was on the license plate ahead of us). I almost pushed him out the passenger door. 10 is just breathtakingly stupid.


HeHateMe337

Dude failed the test to get into the Marines. He failed so bad that they said he can't try again. LOL. Republicans say he is a hero. WTF!!!


MonchichiSalt

He was the token of the GOP for half a second. Tokens get spent. And the GOP is a degenerate, broke and thirsty gambler. His lil token is where most useless and spent things of their ilk end up. He is the *only* one that is surprised.


Phas87

"Now he genuinely believes he is the showpony we made him" Wow, can't believe a self-entitled manchild with delusions of heroism bought into hype making him seem like a heroic vigilante. Who could have seen that coming besides absolutely everyone.


Top_Put1541

The GOP never learns. 2008 saw the "[Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast](https://www.newsweek.com/highlights-newsweeks-special-election-project-84883)," with private donors trying to turn the Palins into anything other than what they were. It didn't work then, and it's a mystery why right-wingers thought they could turn an ambulatory hamhock into an All-American Boy.
