Spoken like a true Minister of Propaganda

LOL!!!

[ApatheticAustrian]

i am often shocked how....cartoonish...this administration seemingly wants to express itself.

at least in the case of bannon i am convinced he WANTS to say the things he says.....

[Hindsight was 2020]

Do you think they take a pool on the most retarded thing they could come up with that their supporters will buy an just try to one up each other?

[Dr. Arch]

LOL.

[Santander]

To be fair, Trump probably likes microwave food.

Inb4 half of Americans start smashing their microwaves.

[Inmate Trump]

Poor Kellyanne.

Seems like just yesterday she was saying how unfit Trump was for the presidency.

One of the best explanations I've heard yet. But I don't think it beats out Trump's Razor: they're really all just petty, greedy, stupid, and ignorant.

The Internet of Things strikes again!

Ehm, she never said Obama spied on Trump through a microwave but that intelligence agencies supposedly have these capabilities today. Just because one side is lying doesn't mean the other side has a blank check to stretch the truth on their part as well.

[ApatheticAustrian]

she explores the possibility...as the article and the headline suggest.

and most importantly....spicer and her are walking back the whole evidence/wiretapping things after doubling down before

A problem arises when hyperbole becomes cliché. It might be clever to treat a heat wave with references to deceased bad guys of history outside signing autographs, as I did in Dallas in 1980. One day when the temperature reached 105F or so I said something like "Billy the Kid is out signing autographs". (In all likelihood Billy the Kid was illiterate, but that is beside the point). As the temperature got worse and worse I went through a series of evil persons, reaching Benito Mussolini and Hideki Tojo as the outside temperature reached 113F on two separate days. I was saving Stalin for 114F and Hitler for 115F, but the heat wave started to abate some, and the grim contrast between the weather and Hell (it's the Bible Belt) starts to lose its zing.

Yes, that was a brutal heatwave. How bad was it? I wore winter clothing in an effort to protect myself from the heat. It worked surprisingly well, although my dry-cleaning costs skyrocketed.

Paranoid delusions are neither cute nor clever. They are cliché at its worst. "They are spying on me through my TV set" -- maybe the cable TV company is watching what channels receive, and if you are watching HBO without paying the additional charge to see it because you have jimmied the cable box, maybe the cable company can take some retribution. It should be obvious that there is no cable channel that you would watch only if you are a criminal. Wiretapping? It works only because crooks get chatty (bragging about what they got with the loot, trying to talk in code that law enforcement can figure out, or simply forgetting that they are being monitored on the phone as they must be told)... law enforcement needs the warrant.

But, yes, under this Administration I can imagine some effort to determine  whether one is preparing some 'unpatriotic' food like hummus or cous-cous  in the microwave or the conventional oven. Paranoia often signals personal nastiness.

She is a smart person.

She is a smart person.

Intelligence and paranoia are not mutually exclusive.

Media...
That's why Trumps approvals went up after the press conference and his "Very Fake News" remarque...

[Hermit For Peace]

She is a smart person.

She is extremely annoying and can never tell the truth because she doesn't know what that is. All she knows is how to fast talk and B.S. And that's why she and Trump get along so well.

[Bojack Horseman]

Kelly Anne Cockroach is like a female Dan Quayle. One gaffe after another. SMDH

[ApatheticAustrian]

i guess conway is really a mercenary.

Doing what she is paid for and not caring about the consequences - she wins, others lose.
