Haley Mildly Criticizes Ukraine Call | Talking Points Memo

Does that mean never in her limited experience of working with and for a traitor to the country? These fucks will take every opportunity to play high and mighty.

As an aside, a woman like her growing up in social isolation, with a severe acne problem and from a religious family? Sounds like a lot of them. Sarah Huckabee, for instance, immune to anything anybody says because they grew up bullied and found a home in a religion and party that allows them to look down on anyone.

Haley arranged for a wet washcloth and some mouthwash in the Green Room after the interview.

Haley also said Trump is “truthful” in that interview. A good laugh in the morning is always welcome.

Republicans got nothing. No defense. Sadly, with this party-before-country crowd, that is probably enough.

Such strong words, pretty soon she’ll be deeply concerned as she lamely attempts to remove the Trump stain from her clothes.She doesn’t get to walk away from this one.

Perhaps she could also explain why baseless rumors about possible corruption years ago are so much more dangerous than actual corruption practiced by those currently in power.
And anyone who has never questioned Trump’s truthfulness is unfit to make instant pudding, much less serve in government.

I don’t think she could be more of a Trump sycophant than she displayed in that interview (maybe her book reveals it, too, but I’d read the labels of all the products at a super-store before reading that).

She’s auditioning for either Pence’s job or Pompeo’s. Or maybe she’s trying to position herself to adopt all of Trump’s supporters when he’s gone - if anyone can do it, it might be her.

(funny/not-so-funny how it’s becoming natural to talk about all these toadies ‘auditioning’ for a position in the Trump administration, but that’s where we are)

And cue the ‘I never knew this person’ from his Orangeness in 3…2…1.

She’ll get discredited just like all the others. Revolving door.

Dear Nikki,
I’ve got an idea for re-branding. Start where this.

Four years from now, she’ll be one of the many to have disappeared from the stage and forgotten.

Apropos of the Hive discussion of great sci-fi, I’d say Haley has nicely demonstrated “On the one hand; on the other hand; on the gripping hand
from The Mote is God’s Eye.
Any more hands, and I’ll suspect she is an octopoid from Wolf 371
