I don’t know, that black eye looked like the result of a felony assault. Where are the chants of ā€œLock him up!ā€?

It must be part of the Trump crime wave. You can’t walk down the street without getting punched in the face.

ā€œSmear campaignā€, by Lewandowski, eh? In spite of the fact that it was clear that the charges filed by ex-wives long before Porter ended up at the WH would result in denial of his security clearance.

Geez, Klown Kar antics.

(Also: boy, Hope Hicks apparently has been a busy girl.)

He also reportedly later claimed that the photo of one of his ex-wives with a black eye came after his wife was hit with a vase while the two were arguing over it,

I knew a guy whose wife suffered a broken arm and facial lacerations. Somehow it all happened as he was passing her the toothpaste over the bathroom sink one morning before work. Seemed legit. He was a stand-up kinda person.

I love the passive voice. What happened, did the vase jump up and hit her by itself?

Why go to such great lengths to hire this particular guy? At most places, the hiring team would have many candidates for a job like this.

To a hammer everything looks like a nail.

For the people who smear for a living everything looks like a smear.

Run for office- and run FOR something! Don’t just run against Trump. You’ll either be preaching to the choir or confirming, in some people’s minds, that all ā€˜librals’ are out to get their man.

Don’t just run on lofty campaign ideals, either- get REAL specific. You want to run on jobs or healthcare reform or the new landfill? You must have a plan. THEN you can point out the difference between having a plan and promising to work on a plan sometime in the future.

Remember 7 years of promises to ā€˜repeal and replace’? Turns out they didn’t have a plan and rushed to a secret hidey hole for 2 whole weeks, cobbling together a 2-legged tripod.

Do better than this. PLEASE! Run for office!

Whoops, accidentally slipped into the passive voice there didn’t we? She ā€œwas hit with a vaseā€? With no indication of how that might have happened…

Why is lying and obfuscation always their first choice in these matters…you would think that the inevitable emergence of the truth of actual events would occur to them as their lies are exposed over and over again. As we have seen on dozens of incidents…The truth doesn’t matter to those that make excuses for these criminal.

ā€œI’ve never had a bad word about Rob Porter,ā€ Lewandowski told the Daily Beast. ā€œI think he did a very good job, and I wish him the very best.ā€

And here, in the very next sentence of the article, is what the Daily Beast had to say about that:

Lewandowski had, indeed, been speaking critically of Porter behind the scenes, as The Daily Beast previously reported.

It’s a soap-opera.

I can’t say much for her judgment but she’s entitled to a life, I should think.

So Hope Hicks dated Cory Lewandowski and Porter. Welp that right there in the toxic culture trump brought to the White House spells trouble. I was taught by my dad who stressed in no uncertain terms that dating in the work place is a very very bad idea. Hope should have heard about Porter’s past since news reports say it was common knowledge and she dated him anyway. This follows the trumpian pattern of mind bogglingly crappy judgement.

And loyalty, let’s us not forget loyalty to ā€œyou know whoā€. That’s the important qualification. Being able to actually do the job is secondary.
