Something is happening here and you don't know what it is, do you, Mr Jones.

Poor Kellyanne. That 3-foot neck of hers must cause problems getting enough blood pumped into her brain for it to function very well.

"Alternate facts?" What?
Like the south won the Civil War, or the Sun revolves around the Earth? Facts like that?

I guess I'll just have to listen to her heart, not her words. Like she said we should do with her boss. I wish she had offered some instructions on how to do that; the only thing I've ever heard a heart say is "thumpa-thumpa".

That's not much, but it's better than 'alternate facts'.

^^^ He lies because he doesn’t know what the truth is half the time. And if he does know and doesn’t like it he’ll change it to what works for him “in his own mind”. He’s a pathological liar.

This is straight out of the Russian playbook, where the government uses propaganda in every press release.



Kudos to Chuck Todd for saying there is no such thing as an "alternative fact", it is actually a falsehood.

Kellyanne Conway: WH Spokesman Gave 'Alternative Facts' on Inauguration Crowd - NBC News
I agree Chuck Todd was great in that interview. It is also noteworthy that later in the program Todd showed the declining GOP support in the DC suburbs as one plausible reason for the lower turnout. Basically, he did the Trump administration's job for them.

But our snowflake in chief President is too thin skinned to be faced with the fact that the turn out for his inauguration was lower than Obama's in 08.

So, from the time you posted, 9,960 people materialized... riiiight.

All he had to say was, "Yes, the turnout was smaller than I would have hoped, and I am deeply appreciative for every person who came out to witness this very special day. It appears I have a lot to do to earn America's approval, and I'm excited to get down to work." That would have been a dignified way to handle it, and he could even have tweeted it. But, no, he had to send out his attack dogs to deny what every person in America could clearly see was true.
