Kellyanne Conway's Microwave

She is nuttier than a box of granola cereal.

It's Always "To Spend More Time With My Family."

In her first TV interview in over a week, Kellyanne Conway explained her recent lack of broadcast appearances Wednesday by noting President Donald Trump's ability to disseminate his own message and her challenges as a working mother.

I smell horseshit.

Conway was everywhere until the news shows began to push back against her lies and spin. Once the story broke that she was persona non grata on a number of shows, she stopped appearing on most of them. And now the old excuse of Family is used.

How convenient.

I Cannot Keep Up

Doug in Oakland mentioned in a comment that the Trump Administration is concerned about the invasion of helpless Belarus by Poland. Which, of course, hasn't happened.

Stephen Colbert mentioned something along the lines of "When the bad guy says 'You Americans think you're so superior, but we are not so different from you,' the good guy doesn't respond 'you're right, let's have a drink'." (Trump defended Putin's government murdering people.)

Trump was babbling about the "dishonest media" not covering terror attacks.

And of course, Trump claims that there were over three million fraudulent voters, all not voting for him. A claim for which there is no evidence whatsoever (ok, maybe for or ten voters- still no evidence of widespread fraud).

I can't keep up with the amount of outright lies and bullshit being spewed by Trump, Spicer and Conway, let alone the rest of Trump's team of alternate historians..

"Never Remember", and Other Thoughts

A plaque will be unveiled to remember the victims of the Bowling Green Massacre:

--------------------------------
Conway has mentioned the non-existent Bowling Green Massacre more than once before her TV interview.

(This is a choker.)

This story reminded me of one back in the day: It was common practice for Arabian countries to refuse to admit travelers who had Israeli visa stamps in their passports. So Israeli officials would stamp the visas on separate sheets of paper that the travelers could then paperclip to their passports. Israel would offer up that story, form time to time, as a subtle dig at the intolerance of the Arab nations.

So are the wrestlers who are competing in the amateur world wresting freestyle championships in Iran this month going to have their visas stamped on separate sheets of paper so that, if they later want to travel to the United states, they won't get interrogated by the Customs and Immigration goons?
--------------------------------
At this point, President* Trump may wish that he could have Rudy killed:

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) said in an interview on Saturday that President Trump had previously asked him about legally implementing a "Muslim ban." ... "He called me up, he said, ‘Put a commission together, show me the right way to do it legally.’"

More Alternative Facts from Kellyanne

While speaking Thursday night with MSNBC's Chris Matthews, Conway referenced the "Bowling Green Massacre" while discussing a ban the Obama administration implemented in 2011 that is similar to Trump's recently-signed executive order temporarily halting immigration from seven Muslim-majority nations.

"I bet it's brand-new information to people that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalized and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre," Conway told Matthews. ""Most people don't know that because it didn't get covered."

It "didn't get covered" because it never happened.

Not Cool, People

Top President Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway has received mail with a suspicious white powder in them and has been assigned Secret Service protection, she told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night.

"Because of what the press is doing now to me, I have Secret Service protection,” Conway said, citing the way the media has covered her boss as the reason for the threats.

Not cool to make death threats. Leave that to the clowns who like to parade around with ARs and blabber about "Second Amendment solutions".

Still, I'd like to see some confirmation about this. Conway is a notorious liar and this could be more of her "alternative facts." Anyway, she seems to be perfectly capable of laying down some sucker-punches, so maybe she doesn't need the help.

Also, totally not cool to blame the press for it, Conway. They're not making you spout bald-faced lies, you're doing that out of your naked lust for power. What the press is doing is calling you on your lies. They're not advocating for people to whack you. That's what your people do.

Truth in Satire

Caption Kellyanne

"Beat to Quarters! Stand By to Repel Boarders!"

"Where's The Nutcracker dress rehearsal at?"

"I have to go from here to band practice."

$3,600 for that coat. She could have gone with the Trump Official Trenchcoat for much less.

I'm not going to make jokes about Trump's tie, I can't think of any that aren't smutty or worse.

More Bullshit From the Trumpers

This time, from his Chief Whitewasher, Kellyanne Conway:

"You have to listen to what the president-elect has said about that. Why don't you believe him? Why is everything taken at face value?” she asked anchor Chris Cuomo.“You can't give him the benefit of the doubt on this and he's telling you what was in his heart? You always want to go by what's come out of his mouth rather than look at what's in his heart.”

Sounds like a good idea.

We could do that every time Trump says something hateful, stupid, and supportive of the Russians.

Snark aside, what Conway said was the same sort of clean-up drivel one hears after some business owner or public official goes on a racist, sexist or homphobic tirade and then gets surprised by the backlash. Like this guy. Or this guy. Or this woman. Or this guy. Or this guy.

We can't see into Trump's heart. What we have to judge him by, so far, is what he says. And going by that, he pretty much hates everybody except able-bodied white guys born in the U.S.

(And, of course, Vladimir Putin. Trump adores Putin.)

You Won, Trump. Get Over It.

Kellyanne Conway was on GMA yesterday, where, when asked about why Trump isn't holding press conferences, took swipes at Hillary Clinton:

Jesus, Kellyanne, the campaign is over. The election is over. Your guy won (though three million more voters preferred the opponent). Comparing what Trump does to Clinton only makes Trump look like a petty little man.

Which is a characterization with which I have no problem. As you might have imagined.

Trump's Surrogates are as Dumb as He Is.

Donald Trump’s new campaign manager once insisted that rape could be eradicated if women were “as strong as men.”

Kellyanne Conway was discussing the roles of women in the military on a 2013 episode of PBS’ “To the Contrary,” a roundtable discussion show featuring an all-women panel, when she made the baffling, victim-blaming declaration.

“If we were physiologically — not mentally, emotionally, professionally — equal to men, if we were physiologically as strong as men, rape would not exist,” she said. “You would be able to defend yourself and fight him off.”

Right. And where there are all-male environments, such as in prisons, rape just doesn't happen.

Oh, wait.
