I saw that Kellyanne Conway was leaving the White house at the end of the month. Good riddance.
Another rat jumps off the sinking ship.
Just what I thought when I saw this. Getting out while the getting is good.
I'm guessing it had something to do with their daughter's anti-Trump tweets. Teenage daughters know exactly how to insert the dagger and twist.
She's leaving the White House and husband George is leaving the Lincoln Project to devote more time to their
moneyfamily.The Lincoln Project is well enough along that it can thrive without him. How Yammie-pie will do without one of his biggest cheerleaders is another matter.
The Lincoln Women ( prominent Republican women, turning against Trump) are now official. No doubt, videos will ensue.
Comment from Adam Silverman in a thread on Balloon Juice: Conway isn’t quitting the White House because the Mercers are pulling the plug, she’s quitting because her eldest daughter, who is the eldest of four children, has publicly accused her of being emotionally and physically abusive. And that this is the reason she is seeking to be legally emancipated. While KellyAnne has a law degree, but as far as I know has never practices, George is a very, very, very good attorney. He knows exactly the jeopardy that has been created for them. As an officer of the court he’s a mandatory reporter, so if there was abuse and he didn’t report it, he’s in almost as much trouble as KellyAnne may well be in if Claudia’s allegations are substantiated.
See comment 25 on this post: https://www.balloon-juice.com/2020/08/23/the-mercers-seem-to-have-cast-their-votes/
Are they referencing the same ‘Mercer’ that provided our Yuma County Sheriff his new pick-up truck after a Mr. Mercer was deputized and given a concealed weapons permit?
It would seem so.
But those were heady days when reports on their political excesses were just gaining relevance.
You mean she's gone all out "Mommy Dearest" on Claudia? Once again, I give you the Party of Family Values.
Would be a fun story, but it isn’t true. If New York or the District of Columbia is the correct jurisdiction, there is no mandatory reporting of child abuse by “officers of the court.” In both jurisdictions, even for mandatory reporters, the obligation only extends to children who are seen in a professional capacity. So, no, neither KellyAnne nor George Conway is a mandatory reporter in New York or D.C.
Whoever Adam Silverman is, he’s talking out his ass.
…and another one bites the dust. Could this be any more delicious, being the first day of RNC?
Not quite as delicious as one of the signature peach pies from Kokopelli Market at Cameo on I -70 😀…but pretty yummy, no doubt.
For someone who's utterly bereft of self-control, Jr. held onto that job for a very long time. For fuckheads like this, though, it's just a matter of moving on to the next grift.
Elevated to President in 2007. One measure of his tenure — the Liberty U. endownment has reportedly grown from $6 million to over $1.6 billion.
CBS News this hour says "The evangelical college in Lynchburg, Virginia, said in a statement Tuesday that Falwell will no longer serve as its president and chancellor, and will step down from its board of directors, "effective immediately."
He thought it was a Leave Abstinence, so he was all in.
oooooo … that's good, kwtree.
Trouble at home. Their 15 yo daughter Claudia is seeking emancipation. The tipping point for her reportedly was discovering that her mother was speaking at the rnc convention. George has "pulled back" from his participation in the Lincoln project as well.
Having watched Kellyanne Conway for years dealing with reporters, I can well believe that she is emotionally abusive to her daughters. Physical abuse? This happens in the “best of families”, and witnesses are reluctant to report, as there is more at stake – money, power, reputation- than “just” a child’s well being.
I wish Claudia well, whatever happens with her family.
Nothing's Shocking.
Like the hiring decision for the PostMaster General, turn the resume upside down and inside out so that campaign donations are highlighted then make it so.
The Brazilian meat conglomerate that presided over an alleged “work while sick” culture at a plant in Colorado and deadly COVID-19 cluster at a facility in Nebraska during the early months of the pandemic will now be advising the federal government on health policies.
JBS Board of Directors and CEOs should burn in hell. The suffering they’ve inflicted on vulnerable refugees and other workers, their lying, their indifference- their fate in the afterlife is not my business, but nobody should be buying JBS meat products:
JBS may burn in hell but they will have deluxe accommodations thanks to the socialist farm handouts from Dump. They'll be happy until they find out that the only thing on TV is HeeHaw.
Don’t knock HeeHaw. That was a good show, although I could have done without the bit of hard core gospel music every week. Otherwise, it featured some really good musicians.
Don’t think AC’s boycott of JBS is working very well. This is the first mention of it that I’ve seen. Don’t recall seeing anything in Mother Jones or Hightower Lowdown. Of course, I don’t eat much red meat, so maybe I haven’t noticed.
Every time I hear a reference to hell I flash back to a Quigman's cartoon (1-31-86?, Buddy Hickerson) where Bob Quigman, having just been shown his room/cave by the devil notices the TV and muses "Hell isn't so bad. At least they have TV". Then after flipping the channels: "That's funny … 'Hee Haw' is on every channel".
I have a paper copy of it that I keep but haven't found it online.
Hickerson was right up there with Trudeau and Gahan Wilson with the dry humor.
Don't forget Gary Larson and The Far Side. I recall one: two vultures sitting on a phone pole in the middle of the desert. One says to the other: "Patience, my ass. I'm going to kill something."
The late Johnny Hart, who wrote B.C. and the Wizard of Id, was also known for that sort of humor.
Good ones.
Another Quigman's classic pictures a bunch of cowboys w/number tags pinned to their shirts walking around a high school track, captioned 'The Hundred Meter Mosey'.
That's pretty dry.
I just used that Larson quote last week in Kentucky, CHB!
Seventy one more days 'til Trump hits the wall
Now Smelly Ann is jumping ship.
She was Biden her time after all,
Before bailing out on the big orange drip.
I see that Polis is letting his inner Libertarian freak flag fly again:
Ah, yet another reason why I'm so proud of, and pleased with the job done by, our governor!
Raunchy Jerry Falwell, Jr likes to watch. Eww.
lol
I figured it was one (or both) of two things: (1) totally heterosexual, 100% non-gay man-on-man buttsex a la Ted Haggard; and/or (2) cuck fetishism, with Becki and the pool boy banging and verbally humiliating Jerry while Jerry watched.
Now Falwell’s trying to throw his wife under the bus, Saying she had an extra-marital affair, ( the pool guy has sexting messages), but he, JF Jr, had no involvement… Women as Temptress. Very Puritan. Playing the victim again.
The pool boy! How common.
Puritan is not far enough back.
Remember, Eve with the apple leading a good man astray?
You can imagine poor Becki's angst: taking a gander at these two, knowing you could have your pick??? God works in mysterious ways.
News of TrumpWorld imploding seem to be today's general theme
Keeping two sets of books is not a common practice, which apparently comes as a complete surprise to son, Eric.
According to a well written, recent, expose in Mother Jones, Trump has nearly 1/2 billion dollars in loans coming due by 2024 and many of those are "shady" in nature. Trump will be spending a lot of time in court if he isn't re-elected. And, I'm sniffing yet more bankruptcy filings in the air.
Maybe Trump will pull a Robert Vesco and escape to Costa Rica. But knowing him, he’d probably try to take Air Force One for his escape.
Another possibility: sell a pardon to Joaquin Guzmán who is currently a guest in a federal bed and breakfast in Florence, Colorado.
Chapo claims to have paid the former president of Mexico a total of $1 billion in bribes. Surely he can get his hands on $500 million.
And Eric can't be deposed because he'll lie through his teeth and incriminate himself.
A little hit-piece on Jared making the rounds in the ag media today with quotes from my whiny state senator. Explosive growth in the plant-based meat market means new opportunities for *FARMERS*, Jerry. Kate has done a good job representing the future of farming: new and beginning farmers (Colorado has one of the highest rates of growth in new farmers thanks to the hemp sector). Only Sonnenberg could turn these positive dynamics into a battle cry.
A Western Governor Is At Odds With Agriculture
Jerry Sonnenberg has a history of "hoof in mouth" blunders.
A few years ago, didn't he refer to State Senator Kerry Donovan, who runs a family ranch, as "eye candy?"
I've heard Ms. Greenburg give reports a couple of times at Colorado Parks & Wildlife Commission meetings. She seems to have a good notion of "which way is up," unlike Mr. Sonnenberg.
Yes, that Jerry. He's become a carnival-barker-extraordinaire for the mythical War on Rural Colorado.
Steve Who?
