Cont: The Trump Presidency: Part 25

[Craig4]

Remember how Kellyanne Conway so selflessly left her White House job in order to take care of her family?
Yeah, she’s back. Guess the family’s better.

Or they realized they've come to hate each other.

I noticed George still being involved in the Lincoln Project, too.

On that... Supposedly George Conway has expressed support for Trump's supreme Court pick ... Which shows that while the Lincoln project might be anti-trump, they are not Tobe confused with democrats.

Probably stayed home with the daughter trying to emancipate herself for a time, got bored and wasn’t changing the kid’s decision so back to the liar’s podium she went.

Like driving their car or carbon monoxide?

That must be this: The NewYorker: How the Trump Campaign’s Mobile App Is Collecting Huge Amounts of Voter Data

Just FYI, the New Yorker site absolutely refused to let me read the article.

The Democratic Underground site has the text, although ethically it's rather dubious of them to simply copy and paste it from the New Yorker site.

Curiously, elinks, a text-mode only browser that doesn't run JavaScript, gave me the text without a problem. For all the care the New Yorker put into making sure no-one they like can read it, they messed up on that part. Their developers put an a lot of effort writing the JavaScript required to make sure only certain people could view the page, only to have it tripped up by a browser that doesn't run JavaScript.

Yeah. That's been something of a given all along, though. The Lincoln Project is an ally of circumstance, not a friend. Their larger goal seems to be to help clean up the Republican Party of some of the worst of the corruption, spinelessness, and most brazen fascism and thus help relegitimize the Party and keep it on a course to survive without destroying the country in the process. These are many of the same people who have aided and abetted plenty of evil and destructive partisanship in the past, though. They seem to favor more the proverbial slow boiling of the frog, which has provided quite the results, rather than a knife stab towards our chests, which has repeatedly backfired through history.

Option one) Didn't really get along with George after all. (The kids sided with Dad.)

Option two) In light of the current tax disaster they offered her double the salary to come help. (It was above Kayleigh's pay grade.)

I still favour option three - neither of them are sincere, and both have played the whole "family with opposing opinions" bit as a grift. Their ideology can be boiled down to "what makes money for the Conways?"

I don't know if the daughter can be included in that, but it wouldn't shock me if she was.

Perhaps relevant: Brad Parscale - the digital director of Trump's campaign in 2016 - last night barricaded himself in his home with a cache of weapons threatening to harm himself, before being talked out by the police and hospitalised for psychiatric evaluation

The best people.

Question: in the article, it says: "She [Parscale's wife] said he had post-traumatic stress disorder and had recently become violent, showing police bruises on her arms from an argument two days prior."

Someone knows how or where he got this PTSD?

The best people.

Of course, they all are. Parscale led the campaign for the candidate of the "Family Values" people, so he beats his wife. Figures.

President Trump Syndrome Disease.

President @realDonaldTrump on Lordstown Motors in #Ohio: The area is "absolutely booming" now

Fact-checkers quickly tore holes in President Donald Trump’s assertions last week that new auto plants are being built in Ohio and other states “at a level that we’ve never seen before.”

“You better vote for me, I got you so many damn car plants,” Trump said Thursday in Michigan.

No new auto plant has opened in Ohio during Trump’s presidency, although electric trucks are scheduled to roll off the line soon at GM’s former Lordstown plant near Youngstown.

The Washington Post gave Trump the maximum four “Pinocchios” for saying many auto plants “are being built right now” in Ohio, Michigan, and South and North Carolina. Neither Carolina has gotten a new plant since ground was broken on two in 2015 during Barack Obama’s presidency.

Now Fake News @CNN is actually reporting that I wanted my daughter, Ivanka, to run with me as my Vice President in 2016 Election. Wrong and totally ridiculous. These people are sick!

Might as well mention this because it will never be reported by the Lamestream Media!

Some of our prior presidents would lie by this type of clever use of words. Nixon liked to declare a revelation by the press as “ridiculous” but of course ridiculous doesn’t mean false. Staging a burglary of the Democratic offices in the. Watergate complex by inept ex-CIA operatives was ridiculous but true. Clinton took refuge in a narrow definition of “sex.“

Sometimes Trump does this too. Fake News doesn’t necessarily mean the facts are fake; it may just mean that him being a lying scum is no longer news. But a huge difference is just how often Trump simply bare face lies.

It remind me of a character in a book I read as a kid. One of the classic "stupid royals" type. He was officially the captain of ship, but was so stupid, he'd be walking around giving all sorts of nonsensical orders. The crew would just say "Aye aye, sir!", and then go about doing what really needed to be done to keep the ship afloat.

Pretty much every "success" that Trump has trumpeted about has come about because of the work of other people, who largely just ignore everything Trump says, and do the job the right way.
