You can kick out refugees bc of their religion and piss on Gold Star families and cuddle up to dictators like Putin, and it's still all good with these people. As someone who watched Republicans constantly spazz out about Russia in the 80s, it's shocking to see that it was all more or less pageantry. Basically, the only two things that are sacred are low taxes for the wealthy and hating women & minorities.

We were pretty stupid for taking them at their word. We hear a nation of immigrants. They hear a nation of white immigrants. We hear freedom of religion. They hear freedom for the Christian religion.

so today is the "deadline" for the WH to present their "evidence" wrt Obama spying on them. What happens if they dont? They just call him a liar and we move on? Also what time is this theoretical deadline?

While Trump likely got it wrong on the details, he’s not wrong in a broader sense: It’s far too easy for the United States government to wiretap Americans’ communications, and that’s thanks in part to President Obama’s actions in office.

No they don't. They speak to the non tech people b/c that's what they are and they will believe it.

I remember a macgyver episode where a microwave got turned into a satellite dish. So there's precedent on the nonsense here.

My usual habit of standing totally naked in front of the microwave when I make TV dinners is really paying off.

Vasectomies are not that expensive. You needn't DIY.

Conway was asked specifically about Trump's surveillance claims -- that Obama tapped his phones. That he personally was spied on by Obama. Obviously the Internet of Things is real and devices have an internet connection and cameras, and yes, they can be controlled remotely to spy.

But jabbering about that in response to the specific claims Trump made is an obvious non-sequitur and the criticism of Conway is valid.

If Trump said space aliens abducted him and Conway said long-distance interstellar travel by extraterrestrials using worm-holes is possible, and everyone was like "lol Conway," would you be like well actually a Harvard astrophysicist says interstellar travel via fast wave radio bursts is possible, jokes on you, Conway is vindicated?

She comes across bad on TV, granted, but there is a tender vulnerability in her eyes whenever she nukes one of those Stouffer's french bread pizzas.

If we're on the intergalactic network of things, it's a good bet the Empire knows we're here.

Conway and Spicer are now, have always been, and forever will be terrible. I refuse to believe any claims to the contrary.

What will Trump's upcoming tweet about the CBO be?

Fake news?
Obummer traitors?

"CBO" aka Commie Barack Obama has fake health care numbers. Trump Care will help so many "people". Sad! They are a disaster. Need to be "reorganized"!!!
