Uh, Kellyanne, how about Mueller and Trump take a walk around the block. Let’s see which one finishes that walk. Or maybe play 9 holes of golf with pullcarts (18 would be out of the question).

I am not going to say much on this comments board…except to give my opinion that if this does not appreciably damage Trump’s image in the minds of non-Trumpers, I will be unpleasantly surprised.
Just this morning, I asked my wife (who is quite a good judge of public opinion) how this would go with the (a) distasteful comportment of the GOP Congressmen yesterday and/or (b) something like this Conway stunt. She was of the opinion that the GOP has lost a great deal of respect for these things among non-Trumpers.

Shouldn’t the “Talking Points” in Talking Points Memo include an equal number of Democratic ones, at least?
You guys constantly roll out the Republican ones – so much so that the headlines read like a right-wing website sometimes.

Just when I thought the bar couldn’t get much lower …
Not that I’m surprised: it’s like not like they ever had more dragging their opponents down into the muck.

You know what TPM? This is not news. Looks like it is time for me to let my Prime subscription run out.

I post comments along this line regularly. We get trump says, trump does, trump tweets, conway says or does, and it’s tiresome and clearly not what lefties want. If I could get refund for my Prime membership I would.

Do it. Maybe someone will be listening when you tell them why.

Mueller is fine with this, he continues to be attacked by the President and all republicans, but as a good christian he has always turned the other cheek, must have been pretty humiliating, his credibility is in the gutters, but at least his white republican friends at the country club will still invite him to their table.

She is so fucking vile. Her reputation will never be rehabilitated. George is wasting his time if that’s really his plan regarding her odious behavior.

Kellyanne insulting the elderly.
Does her Party’s core consider themselves needing her pity? How embarrassing, but I guess Trump insults everyone sooner or later.

What? Those nontelegenic, reality driven, boring folks with their ennui-generating facts. If you can’t think of the children, at least think of the clicks.

Have you tried starting a Hive topic along these lines? If so, was there any reaction from TPM management?

I find myself too often in this frame of mind: “The food was terrible and the portions were too small”
Or
“Ashamed to be here, but not enough to leave.”

“I feel like Bob Mueller may well have been used by the people around him to imbue this fake and ill-conceived investigation with credibility and legitimacy it wouldn’t have otherwise,” she said. “And I am first and foremost who I will always be, which is a daughter, a mother, and, of course, I feel great empathy and compassion for folks who, as some of these headlines suggest, may be feeble or not understanding some of the questions — asking them to be repeated, clearly not conversant with the facts and with his own report.”
