If you're willing to work for this administration it's a given that you're willing to be a piece of shit no matter what your past record was.

There needs a to be a pushback on this instead of articles where the admin can just double down on their statement.
Yup
But the problem is this admin is held accountable for literally fucking nothing.
But, we shall see. We shall see..

Trump doing his best to prove that stupidity is contagious.

This supports my stance to never give anyone in this administration the benefit of the doubt. No one is there to make things better from the inside.

It's everyone he surrounds himself with, though. They're all allergic to the truth. Lying is like breathing.
Because it turns out a lot of the US Government actually works on the honor system. There are very few actual laws dealing with ethics and consequences. Trump's administration has been ignoring anything that doesn't have a direct law in writing about it from the start, ie Trump's tax returns, and will continue to get away from it until congress passes laws that handle ethics in the judicial branch.

Agreed, can't even believe that it was ever a talking point.
So, is Trump an empty barrel for visiting the memorial wall at the CIA and boasting of his election win?

Maybe they thought that walking in on day one.
But by the end of day one it was obvious that such a thing was impossible. Ask Sean Spicer who was sent out on day one to lie to the world about something provably false. Everyone witnessed that. No one has an excuse.
Republicans.

peddling fake news like the rest of the idiots in the white house. sad!
There is no digging deeper. They've reached the other side. No more shovels, no more holes, no more up or down.
Mueller is the only hope we really have. Republicans don't hold anyone in this admin accountable for fucking anything.
Of course not. He's fearless!

At this point can we even be sure Kelly had a son?

the name of rick wilson's film 'everything trump touches dies' is getting more astute by the day. even the 'normal' people in his administration are becoming embarrassing now. any smart people left might as well just resign now before they get dragged into some stupid shit themselves.
McMaster was the one who retired from active duty to become NHS.

It's terrifying that nobody in this White House has a shred of credibility or integrity. Not a shred. Kelly was the last best hope for someone with some honor.
When the White House says the Iran deal is no good, you can't trust that anyone there is acting in good faith.
When the White House says, god forbid, we have no other choice but to carry out limited strikes or something on North Korea, who knows if that's even remotely accurate?

Frederica Wilson is a goddamn treasure. I just listened to the speech. It's a great speech. Kelly, for all his military sacrifice, needs to shut his mouth. His military history provides no shield for slandering one of our best in Congress.
We won't know. We'll have no clue except to rely on outside sources. Isn't one of the reasons why we know Iran has been complying with the deal because some of our allies reported that they were?

The footage is real but the speech is fake
Well he already sold his son for them, what's one more thing.

Is it bald-faced or bold-faced? I'm always unconfident in which term to use so I avoid it altogether.
But did you see the size of the crowd? Biggest crowd ever for an inauguration.

The Whitehouse is full of liars and scum. "Hey you Whitehouse, ha ha, charade you are!"

During these same remarks, Kelly blamed disrespect towards Gold Star families on "the conventions" last summer, by which he clearly meant the DNC providing a platform to the Khan family and not Trump's disgusting attacks on them afterwards.
Which is to say: the only principle that Kelly appears to have espoused is that criticism of Trump is illegitimate.

Yup. That is the goto move on every single issue. Lie, let Fox News report the lie to the base, the other 65% of the country knows the truth. Unfortunately that base that Fox news speaks to owns a crap load of the wealth in this country.

Exactly. If it wasn't clear from the campaign, it was clear immediately after inauguration.
It's crazy how far these lies spiral. If anything, it shows why honesty is important to society. All Trump had to do was say, "ya I said he knew what he signed up for. I meant he was amazingly brave to put himself in a position where he knew he could pay the ultimate sacrifice. This is not a bravery that I or most Americans will ever understand. I'm sorry that the way I said it was offensive." This would be a non-story at that point. But he has to double down and everyone behind him will lie even more to back him up.
Bald as in bare or naked
Kelly deserves some flack for this, but it feels more like a "sniper fire in Bosnia" situation than a more traditional, Trumpian "I won in a landslide" or "biggest crowd ever" or "no puppet, no puppet, you're the puppet" kind of deal.
Seems like dude didn't like the speech and thought Wilson made it too much about her. She didn't actually talk about getting the money, but she does spend the first third of it talking about how amazing she was for getting the name through bureaucracy in time. He then exaggerated/misremembered his issue and blew it out of proportion in his mind, much like Clinton exaggerated her landing in Bosnia in her mind. Bad, but forgivable. Unlike Trump's narcissism.

Win at all costs. Its the American way.
Bare faced became bald faced. It is correct. Bold face is also acceptable.

Why, do you think, was she invited to give this speech?
Why, do you think, did Kelly try to attack this Congresswoman at this point in time?
It's not some off the cuff exaggeration. It's a pointed attack to hurt the credibility of a black congresswoman who stood up to the President.
omg he lied and it's on tape together with concrete evidence of his lie!?
Like it matters.
They'll be back on kneeling by dinner time now that there's proof he's lying.

Is he really in any position to be complaining about someone talking about themselves in a speech
