I don't fault him for taking a few hours on Memorial Day weekend to do a little golfing. I believe it's been weeks since he's done it, and this weekend is strongly traditional for starting summer activities.

If he had been working diligently to fight the virus, I would have had no problem with giving him a few hours of rest and leisure time. Given he fills his timetable with "executive time" and has pretty much only be obstructing, lying, and pushing quack treatments, though, I wish his staff would take his toys away and send him to his room to think about his actions.

The problem is that it's hard to discipline the unruly child in the kindergarden when he has the power to fire you.

Because they don't really believe it. The CT stuff is just fodder for demonizing the enemy.

See, we keep saying, "Oh, they don't really believe that ****...", but then they keep acting like they really do believe it. 44% of Republicans think Bill Gates is going to use the COVID vaccine to inject them with "microchips". How does that belief fit in with your "We just don't want the Democrats to win!" theory? The best thing that could happen for Trump right now is for someone, anyone, to find an effective vaccine, so he can go full steam ahead on getting the economy re-started. How does spreading CTs about vaccines help with that?

And then there's all these idiots running around during a pandemic. They're not just not following proper safety guidelines, lots of them are actively doing the exact opposite of what they should be doing. Why would they do that if they "really knew" the virus was real?

And then there's all the investigations into "voter fraud", which keep turning up zero evidence of voter fraud. If they knew the voter fraud claim was just a CT, they wouldn't keep investigating it. They'd find excuses why they couldn't investigate it* while continuing to promote the CT. But they act like they really do believe that this time, they'll find that smoking gun!

It's time to stop giving them the benefit of the doubt, and realize that for a lot of them, they're actually just this stupid, not evil. Well, still evil, but not for this reason.



*You know, just like they do with all of Trump's crimes

Kayleigh McEnany claimed on TV that Obama rushed off to golf after Daniel Pearl was beheaded.

Pearl was killed in 2002. Obama was a state senator.

I have a pretty firm memory of Obama golfing right after a beheading, and thinking the optics were horrible.

Perhaps someone other than Pearl? For my own mental health I really don’t want to google “beheadings”.

And I’ll stipulate in advance that my memory is at least as fallible as anyone else’s.

Mandela effect, possibly. I'm not going to look it up either, and either way it's a moot point, as we all know, just more "butbutblackman".
 
I couldn't resist looking. Three things: 1. Kayleigh McEnany absolutely despises Barack Obama. 2. The clip is from 2017. 3. She used the wrong name. Oh, one more: 4. Kayleigh McEnany is despicable.

From the UK's Independent (from March 2017):
Ms McEnany apologised for the blunder on Twitter on Tuesday morning and claimed she had used the wrong name. The surrogate suggested she had meant to refer to James Foley, a freelance photojournalist who was kidnapped in Syria and beheaded by Isis in 2014. "I apologise for using the wrong name. Both James Foley and Daniel Pearl lost their lives to terrorism & should be honoured by our leaders," she said. Link to Independent article

Mr Obama was on holiday on Martha's Vineyard, an island in Massachusetts, when news of Foley's death emerged. He delivered remarks condemning Foley's killing from the Massachusetts island but made a trip to a golf course soon afterwards and was hounded by critics. He was later forced to admit that he should not have made the trip. “It is always a challenge when you're supposed to be on vacation,” he told Chuck Todd on NBC's Meet the Press a few weeks later. “There's no doubt that, after having talked to the families, where it was hard for me to hold back tears listening to the pain that they were going through, after the statement that I made, that you know, I should've anticipated the optics.”

Nothing to see here, folks, come on, move along. :(

Fault 90% of the other times? Sure.

It's entirely unfair to attack Trump for playing golf at his club in Virginia. That's why I like the cartoon of him playing golf standing on dead bodies he swept under the rug so much.

When I see 1 of those polls that has Malarkey the Racist up 6-8 points everywhere, I’m thinking they must have called the same 1,000 people from 2016 that said HRC the Skank was up 6-8 %. #maga #tcot #kag

I like the way Kayleigh sets the agenda. She doesn’t take any crap off these pathetic, worthless, clueless DNC Shills. I love how she finishes by posing the questions they should be asking and then walks off. #maga #tcot #kag

What a great idea. DJT wants to start the “Shills in Space” concept. Excellent. #maga #kag #tcot

Is anyone buying that DimLib’s massive Vote-by-Mail plan is secure? I can confirm that voter rolls are 33% full of moved people/dead people. They will be sending 12 ballots to a home that has been sold 4 times. Old names are active. We can’t accept this fraud. #maga #tcot #kag

We just got a look at the official portrait for the self proclaimed Governor of Georgia. She fought a tough race, kissed a lot of babies and visited every buffet restaurant in the State. Joe will be a racist if he doesn’t pick her. #maga #tcot #kag

To protect PolyGrip during this pandemic, we have developed 2 options. With the DJT option, she will be able to tongue and adjust her dentures more easily. With duct tape, she won’t be able to drink booze on the job as much. Which do you think she will prefer? #maga #tcot #kag

One of the few semi-intelligent trump supporter/right wingers that used to post here, regularly accused me of making things up, of being a liar. It became obvious that in his world, making something up to make a larger point seemed like a standard tactic. For him, I'm sure it was.

The two times that stand out were ridiculous. The first was when I wrote, the PR job on Hillary Clinton worked on me. I've always been a registered Democrat and gladly voted for Bill Clinton. But when Hillary ran for the senate in New York in 2000...I realized I just DID NOT LIKE HER. I wasn't really sure why. When I got in the voting booth on Election Day, I hesitated. I was writing this message fifteen years later and I remembered the Republican candidate was Rudy Giuliani but it wasn't. It was Rick somebody from Long Island. Giuliani lost in the primary. (Or maybe I'm making that up, too, but that's the way I remember it.) I wrote that I remembered standing in the voting booth, looking at the names and levers, and thinking, "I might vote for him. I don't know if I can vote for Hillary. I can't stand her." But then I thought, 'Hey I'm a registered Democrat, this is our candidate' and I voted for her. And she went on to be, in my opinion, an outstanding U.S. senator. I was making the point that the Republican smear job on Hillary Clinton had been VERY effective. But the trumpette said, "You made that up! You never considered voting for the Republican candidate."

The other time I recall -- and there were many other times -- was when I said I had seen Barack Obama on a news show back in the early 2000s. He was an Illinois state senator and it was a clip of him speaking to some group. I said I was very impressed and I filed that name away. The context of the show was, up-and-coming young Democrats.

This poster immediately fired back, 'You never saw him. You're making that up.'

That's what these people do. THEY make things up. Look at trump. Half of everything he says is made up. They tell themselves everybody else does it too and that is how they justify to themselves that it's okay for them to do it. I guess it's also a tactic, to avoid discussing something they don't want to discuss. Instead of making a counter-argument they just dismiss it. "You're making that up!"
