Forbes:


That Donald Trump devolved from commander-in-chief to liar-in-chief didn’t surprise Forbes: As we’ve chronicled early and often, for all his billions and Barnum-like abilities, he’s been shamelessly exaggerating and prevaricating to our faces for almost four decades. More astonishing: the number of people willing to lend credence to that obvious mendacity on his behalf.

In this time of transition – and pain – reinvigorating democracy requires a reckoning. A truth reckoning. Starting with the people paid by the People to inform the People.

As someone in the business of facts, it’s been especially painful to watch President Trump’s press secretaries debase themselves. Yes, as with their political bosses, spins and omissions and exaggerations are part of the game. But ultimately in PR, core credibility is the coin of the realm.

From Day One at the Trump White House, up has been down, yes has been no, failure has been success. Sean Spicer set the tone with the inauguration crowd size – the worst kind of whopper, as it demanded that people disbelieve their own eyes. The next day, Kellyanne Conway defended Spicer’s lie with a new term, “alternative facts.” Spicer’s successor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders lied at scale, from smearing those who accused Trump of sexual harassment to conjuring jobs statistics. Her successor, Stephanie Grisham, over the course of a year, never even held a press conference, though the BS continued unabated across friendly outlets. And finally, Kayleigh McEnany, Harvard Law graduate, a propaganda prodigy at 32 who makes smiling falsehood an art form. All of this magnified by journalists too often following an old playbook ill-prepared for an Orwellian communication era.

As American democracy rebounds, we need to return to a standard of truth when it comes to how the government communicates with the governed. The easiest way to do that, from where I sit, is to create repercussions for those who don’t follow the civic norms. Trump’s lawyers lie gleefully to the press and public, but those lies, magically, almost never made it into briefs and arguments – contempt, perjury and disbarment keep the professional standards high.

So what’s the parallel in the dark arts of communication? Simple: Don’t let the chronic liars cash in on their dishonesty. Press secretaries like Joe Lockhart, Ari Fleischer and Jay Carney, who left the White House with their reputations in various stages of intact, made millions taking their skills — and credibility — to corporate America. Trump’s liars don’t merit that same golden parachute. Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie. We’re going to scrutinize, double-check, investigate with the same skepticism we’d approach a Trump tweet. Want to ensure the world’s biggest business media brand approaches you as a potential funnel of disinformation? Then hire away.


This isn’t cancel culture, which is a societal blight. (There’s surely a nice living for each of these press secretaries on the true-believer circuit.) Nor is this politically motivated, as Forbes’ pro-entrepreneur, pro-growth worldview has generally placed it in the right-of-center camp over the past century — this standard needs to apply to liars from either party. It’s just a realization that, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously said, in a thriving democracy, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. Our national reset starts there.

Its a very nice motherhood statement from Forbes - but I bet the reality will be much more different

Do you think Kayleigh McEnany or Sean Spicer could be a spokesperson for anyone who requires a sense of trust? I don't.

They'll get jobs at Fox, maybe, but probably at more fringe places like OANN and Newsmax who aren't viable long term (on the type of salary these people would want), because they're just too crazy.

Instability in Africa if viewed through a colonial lenses puts a different stance on the standard right wing argument that blacks can't run things. Arbitrary borders bringing forcing different people together hasn't helped much either.

Well yes, but most borders are arbitrary. Whether by Imperialist design or war. Very few are by geographic necessity. ie Islands like Japan, UK, Australia etc.

Countries are almost all are made of multiple nationalities. Whether immigrant or just lumped into moving borders over the centuries. ie Yugoslavia.

Such is life, The trick is to live & let live. To be accepting of cultural diversity.

That seems beyond the political RW

When it's white guys from slaughtering each other because of centuries old emnities we never hear them called savages or get told that they don't know any better.

It's not that - it's about "keeping companies who hire them to account "

Nor has the colonialists' artificial division of peoples into "tribes" and the creation of "chiefs", done for the administrative convenience of the foreign rulers.

Apartheid lives in the wet dreams of plenty right wing politicians around the world. Dutton and Scummo would fit like a glove into a Verwoerd cabinet.

Every nationality (scocio-culturally speaking) has a percentage who like to take the high moral ground in such matters.

Such people that usually claim they're nationalists, but are usually racially prejudiced.

Such is the extremist tribal nature of some people.

They forget the benefits of understanding/accepting other cultures. Its how we best grow & mature as a people. Without it, we/they stagnate, fear & misunderstandings develop, & violence soon eventuates.

Its gets even worse when such bigoted & hateful people get into power.

Parlers metadata.

Just how much money you reckon the Russians are gonna pay for that (presuming it wasnt them that simply just hacked themselves?).

Its literally a 5th column of tens of thousands of insurgents, militia and other assorted 'patriots' ready to destabilise or even attack America and wage a war of terror inside the country.

A good chunk of that would just be big-talkers, the real crazies, like the regional militias keep everything off-grid. No way are they posting their licence to anybody, let alone a computer company.

It's the details of a lot of stupid people who would probably give you the info for a voucher to chick-fil-a

McEnany has 1.7 million followers on Instagram. She can easily monetise that into a salary of several hundred grand a year (passive income) and kick back on a beach for the rest of her life.

Travel blogger 'Nomadic Matt' has 1/10th that amount and he makes well over six figures a year through affiliate marketing, advertising, vlogs (and blogs) and other social media. Dustin Martin has 300k followers and he can make tens of thousands of dollars with a single post.

For instance, an account just branching out into influencer marketing and sponsored posts may start by charging $25-$50 a post and accounts that are already established as influencers with 30-80k followers can charge hundreds of dollars per post. Once influencers reach over 100k followers, they tend to start charging at least $1,000 for just one post such as Sam Ushiro who has 283k followers and charges $1,500 a post. Not to mention, celebrities like Kim Kardashian West with 107 million followers can rake in over $500,000 for a sponsored Instagram post.

https://blog.sellfy.com/how-many-instagram-followers-to-make-money/

And the above is just sponsored posts, and before you even get into advertising revenue from blogs and Youtube, plus money made per view of your videos, free s**t (holidays, products, cars), your own products you're selling, seminars and conferences and 'wellness camps' etc.

This is the MO of right wing grifters like Lauren Southern, Pete Evans and Milo etc. 1) Post a whole heap of right wing controversial s**t. 2) Get something to go viral. 3) Gain a s**t load of dumb redneck followers that dont understand you're actually full of s**t and fleecing them for money. 4) Profit.

The sites already full of Russian trolls motivating the 'patriots' and infiltrating militias etc.

It's a gold mine for them. If the Russians havent hacked the metadata of the users (lists etc) already, they will (or they'll buy it off the owners). They'll also be all too willing to provide Parler with a new hosting service as well (through intermediaries of course).

This is one of the reasons China have a massive firewall around the country.

The Russians will be up to their necks in it.

Think about how much s**t they can stir on there to accelerate radicalisation and mass attacks and protest?

The site literally made users use government issued ID's as a form of verification.

Access to the site allows reading PM's and posts. Personal info of those that joined. The Russians can literally plant misinformation right in front of those that would be most influenced by it, in addition to having the personal details and info and private conversations of its members.

Parler no doubt knew this and planned to sell access to the metadata to the Russians (no different to what Apple and Google and Facebook etc do in round about ways).

The Russians will simply just hack it.

The insurrectionists were not all extremists, which makes it all the more terrifying. Twitter thread below scares me silly. Hard to have hope for the future of our government and two party system. We need more political parties like every other civilized country!

More high profile ones to worry about and a whole growing number of them.

More high-profile than Jim Mattis?

Mattis was perhaps the most universally respected member of Trump's original cabinet.

Neil Young on the money.

“Social media, at the hands of powerful people — influencers, amplifying lies, and untruths — is crippling our belief system, turning us against one another,” he wrote. “We are not enemies. We must find a way home.”

“With social media, issues are turned into psychological weapons,” Young writes, “and used to gather hatred in support of one side or the other”

McConnell supporting the play which will mean Trump can't run in 2024. After impeachment, which will be meaningless, the Senate can also vote to disqualify from holding future office so he can't run in 2024, nor register a campaign.

McConnell furious with president, supports move to initiate impeachment proceedings: sources

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell supports Democrats' move to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Trump and is “done” and “furious" with him, sources familiar told Fox News.

www.foxnews.com

After the 2016 election which Trump won, he registered his 2020 campaign the day after inauguration and started raising money. To Trump, it's always about raising money from the rubes.

If McConnell takes that away from Trump, Trump will be very very angry. Trump will still tear apart the Republican Party, but if the Dems support pursuing Trump for corruption and further crimes, he might have to think twice. Looking more likely Donnie will be wearing prison orange to match his makeup in 2022.

I find it unlikely McConnell would support impeachment but happy to be wrong on this one.

That was smart

An Olympic champion stormed the Capitol. His Team USA jacket gave him away

A five-time Olympic medallist and former teammate of Michael Phelps has been charged with participating in a deadly riot after video appeared to show him among the throng of Trump supporters who stormed the US Capitol last week.

www.theage.com.au

DC: A former teammate of Michael Phelps and two-time Olympic relay gold medallist, Klete Keller, was among the throng of President Donald Trump supporters who stormed the US Capitol last week, according to video footage posted online.

Keller, a decorated swimmer who represented the United States at the Summer Olympics in 2000, 2004 and 2008, is seen towering over other Trump supporters inside the US Capitol Rotunda, wearing a Team USA jacket. The video was taken by Townhall reporter Julio Rosas, and Keller's participation was first reported Monday by SwimSwam, a popular swimming website.
