Discussion: WH Says 'Highly Inappropriate' For Reporter To Question 'Marine General'

And F-you, too, lying beeyotch!

This is why the Roman Republic didn’t allow their armies to cross the Rubicon.

Kelly is the man with the gravitas. He wears it on his sleeve. He is an object lesson in its dangers. For this man pontificates, amplified by his unsubtle four-star gravitas; he is very self-important; and he is a bully, a liar, and a coward. How can a four-star general be a coward? Easily. By pontificating about women being sacred, for example, and then, like a genuine asshole, insulting a decent woman as an “empty barrel” and brazenly lying on national television about her. And then he does not have the courage to acknowledge his assholery, let alone apologize for it. He is a most contemptible coward. He should not resign, but keep working for Trump: he merits the continued self-destruction that brings.

Sarah Sanders in her job is like some kind of vile Siri. Ask her a question – almost any question – and arrogant shit comes at you. Sarah “Shit Machine” Sanders. Oh, that’s insensitive! She is a human being! Just like some Goebbels minion.

That’s of course a possibility – and if Kelly is pissed at that, THAT is also quite Trumpkin others-blaming. It’s entirely his own fault. He talked about the dedication ceremony and her speech as something he attended and experienced first-hand and he described it quite vividly and eloquently. So if his claim that he was in attendance is true he did know from the start the story from his operatives, if it was from the operatives, was false and he knowingly told that falsehood.

Either that, or more charitably it may have been indeed a piece of shit made up by the operatives and Kelly just may not have known it was actually a piece of shit, but if that was the case that means his story of having been present at the ceremony in itself was a lie (but this is more easily verifiable and I don’t think this is likely).

Either way, he lied. And it was a totally unnecessary, stupid lie that you should have known would cause more trouble unless you are a moron. Nonetheless he knows what pleases his boss – you MUST attack that uppity black woman in front of the world – so he loyally and diligently executed the mission. I think he is as pissed (or more so) at the fact a video recording instantly surfaced and destroyed whatever credibility and reputation he thought he’d had.

I bet we will soon hear “Kelly’s friends speaking on the condition of anonymity” hopping in and defending him, insisting he didn’t mean to lie, he’s a honorable man, he was just given the wrong facts. Well good luck with that. It simply doesn’t compute.

A long-running right-wing trope is that the leftist media [manufactures outrage][1]. Not really seeing that here. The chaotic Trump shitshow is outrageous, posturing, etc. but it seems to be manufacturing deflection or diversion of attention. Not well, but that’s what the Trump do.

The authoritarian personality on full display.

Why on earth did that reporter not ask WHY it would be inappropriate to call out a four-star general who is lying in a press conference. Why, Sandy? Tell us why that would be inappropriate.

They appear not to think on their feet - And not much solidarity among the journalist, when SHS just allows one question per journe, they should follow up on the previous question.

Also, they have probably given up getting set some kind of truthful reply out of Sarah, she is just a little girl ‘telling stories’…

Worker Bees & Soldier Ants: America’s Fascist Army

“This army of fascism is the product of years of methodical ingraining of ignorance and indifference into society by those holding the reigns of power. It is the end result of the re-wired human brain preyed upon and feasted on by television and the corporations that control thought through it. Obedient to the monitor, blind to reality, the army now gathering life takes direct commands from the images, sounds and war cries emanated by television. Acting on instinct, and on the televised propaganda they are conditioned to obey and follow, the army now walking among us neither questions nor searches for answers, preferring to exult the fantasies of fiction over the embarrassments of truth, preferring to dwell in ignorance rather than being liberated by knowledge.”

Thinking more she is trying for a sitcom. Something retro like the “Blunder Years” or such.

Takes place in a typical downtrodden southern suburb, car on blocks in the driveway, commode removed years ago overgrown with weeds on the curb. Husband is the typical misogynistic, white nationalist, gun loving buffoon who adores his jacked up 4X4 pick up (diesel) covered in primer. Older daughter home for the holidays from meth rehab, younger twin sons who are under the veil of an arson charge at the local school.

Cue scene as she is once again explaining why it was correct and proper that her husband drove through the neighbors yard, shot their dog, screamed Make America Great Again! and then took a dump on the neighbors front step, giggling all the while that he did it.

I recall John Kelly repeatedly calling the Congresswoman an “empty barrel”. John Kelly is a sack of sh*t that’s filled with lies.

Rep. Wilson: Trump White House is ‘full of white supremacists’
Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) said President Trump’s White House is “full of white supremacists” in a new interview Friday.

“The White House itself is full of white supremacists,” she told The New York Times.

Harsh, but fair.
