Alternative Facts with Kellyanne Conway

She looks pretty darn good in the clip where she's wearing the green dress.  Nice hair, nice makeup.  Can't imagine what she'd look like without any professionals making her look, um, professional (AKA what she'd look like in prison).

Hey, since it appears the communications director position seems to be a springboard for leaving the Dumpy WH, maybe K-Con will be on the way out! "Kellyanne Conway Edges Toward Accepting the Job of Communications Director"

Spoiler

Kellyanne Conway is moving closer to accepting President Donald Trump’s offer for her to succeed Hope Hicks as White House communications director, if only on an interim basis, according to multiple sources who have spoken with her.

“It’s becoming increasingly difficult for her to say no,” said one senior White House official. The official said that First Lady Melania Trump and Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff have both encouraged her over the last few days to reconsider Trump’s offer. Conway declined to speak on the record for this story.

When Hicks announced her resignation earlier this month, Conway said in a Fox News segment that she wasn’t interested in the job. But Trump has continued to urge her to change her mind, as have many rank-and-file White House communications staffers, some of whom see Conway as a mentor. “He’s basically told her she’s no longer allowed to say no,” joked another senior White House official. Like others who spoke for this story, these officials did so on condition of anonymity, in order to discuss private conversations.

In recent days, Conway and Trump have discussed a potential compromise: Conway would take over the post on an interim basis. Once a permanent replacement was found, she would then carve out her own role in the communications shop. Similar to Karen Hughes in the George W. Bush administration, she would serve as an executive of sorts, overseeing both the communications and press shops.

Part of Trump’s insistence draws from conversations with Hicks, who, while supporting Conway for the role has, perhaps more crucially, urged him against selecting Mercedes Schlapp. Schlapp, currently the strategic communications director and an alum of Bush’s White House, has the support of Chief of Staff John Kelly. Shortly after Hicks publicized her plans to leave, Kelly, in a one-on-one meeting with the president, floated Schlapp’s name. Trump, according to two senior White House officials briefed on the meeting, seemed uninterested.

Nevertheless, Schlapp has continued to angle for the role, pitting herself against Tony Sayegh, who is currently assistant secretary for public affairs at the Treasury Department. Schlapp and Sayegh’s jockeying has sowed deep divisions in the West Wing, with some members of the White House digital team threatening to leave their jobs if Sayegh is appointed. Sayegh, however, has his own allies: Many in the administration, including Ivanka Trump, saw him as crucial to the successful tax reform rollout. He’s also close to Hicks, who multiple sources say has “never seen eye-to-eye” with Schlapp, offering him a valuable line to the president.

“Once Hope said she was leaving, Mercy smelled blood, and she started biting,” one White House official told me, referring to Schlapp’s “transparent campaign” for the post. “She picked a fight with the wrong person. Obviously, Hope is everyone’s favorite, and people here are willing to ice out anyone who messes with her.” (A source close to Schlapp countered, however, that she has “no issues with anyone at the top.” “She’s worked closely with everyone and is focused on bringing the team together,” added a White House official close to her.)

Yet as Sayegh and Schlapp train their eyes on one another, Trump is continuing to pitch Conway. It’s hard to refuse someone, one Trump campaign official says, who “very much believes that he can fill the job with anyone he wants.”

Kellyanne's hubby George is going rogue, authoring or retweeting some things that could charitably be interpreted as throwing shade at SCROTUS.  HuffPo: Kellyanne Conway’s Husband Is Going Rogue

Kellyanne has been named as a possible replacement for Hope Hicks, but her husband tweeted this on March 23

I didn't realize Kellywise's husband asked Satan Ann Coulter to set them up: "A White House spouse who can’t be forced to shut up"

Spoiler

The Trump administration has found its Martha Mitchell. His name is George Conway.

Mitchell, for those too young to remember the darkest days of Watergate, was the outspoken Arkansas-born wife of President Richard M. Nixon’s 1972 campaign manager and former attorney general John Mitchell. Known as “the mouth of the South,” she became known for her late-night calls to reporters, in which she said that the Nixon White House was trying to make her husband a scapegoat for its own nefarious acts. There was more than a little truth to her claims, and her husband did indeed go to prison. But at the time, the president's men dismissed her as an alcoholic, and crazy to boot.

No one would say that about Conway, a lawyer of sterling conservative credentials who early on in the Trump administration took himself out of consideration for a top Justice Department job. He is also the husband of Trump counselor and cable news warrior Kellyanne Conway, whom he married in 2001. Their love story began when he asked a friend, the arch-right pundit Ann Coulter, to arrange an introduction with the Republican pollster he had seen on TV. He dialed back his own career with a top New York law firm to move their family down to Washington, so she could pursue hers.

Follow his Twitter feed, and you will see a devastating counternarrative to his wife’s determined spin, running reminders of how Donald Trump’s chaotic presidency is veering beyond anything that resembles normal. If she is famous for coming up with the Orwellian concept of “alternative facts,” her husband’s Twitterfeed is a compilation of “alternative-alternative facts.”

George Conway mostly retweets things that others have posted, with occasional commentary. After Trump horrified fiscal conservatives by signing a $1.3 trillion spending bill, Conway twice retweeted the growing national debt total. His feed frequently includes things that are being said on television about the president’s mounting legal troubles and the chaos in his White House. “This is flabbergasting,” he tweeted on March 28, adding a link to a New York Times report that Trump’s lawyer had broached the idea of a presidential pardon for two of Trump’s former top advisers, Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort.A particularly notable tweet from Conway passed along CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins’s observation that “this is why officia

ls are so hesitant to speak for Trump. He says one thing, then does the opposite. “

“So true,” Conway wrote. “It’s absurd. Which is why people are banging down the doors to be his comms director.” The job of communications director has become open with the departure of Trump aide Hope Hicks, and the name most often mentioned to fill it is . . . Kellyanne Conway.

After The Post’s Reliable Source column  took notice last week of George Conway’s snarky tweets about Trump, he deleted some of them, including the one about the job for which his wife is in line. It was thought that he had been brought to heel.

But on Sunday, Conway was back at it again, retweeting links to criticism of Trump, including a warning by former New Jersey governor Chris Christie (R) that the president’s “hyperbolic” style could land him behind bars.

Is the message that Conway is sending here aimed at his wife — or her boss? Is this his way of trying to sabotage her job — or rescue her from it? Or maybe his tweets are a lifted eyebrow, to let the rest of us know that the Conway household is not divorced from reality, but in on the joke. George Conway declines to say anything publicly about any of this, which leaves his tweets to speak for themselves. Still, it seems fair to wonder whether, if the gender roles were reversed in this marriage, he would be labeled some kind of kook. George Conway: the Realest Housewife of D.C.

Being part of a Washington power couple in the Trump era has turned out to be a treacherous proposition. The first lady rarely speaks, even as her husband’s alleged adventures with a porn star get endless play in the media. One of the the president’s daughters and his equally unqualified son-in-law are top-level White House advisers, whose roles seem to shift according to the moment. One Cabinet wife has been blamed for financial mismanagement at her husband’s agency. (See Carson, Candy: office furniture). Another has been taken down by her own obliviousness. (See Linton, Louise: conspicuous consumption).

But take heart. George Conway is still out there somewhere in the digital universe, a spouse who can’t be forced to shut up. Wherever she is, Martha Mitchell is wishing someone had invented Twitter 50 years ago.

Hmm..... I wonder if he's regretting the choice to dial back his career and move to Washington?

Two thoughts about that picture:

Make your best Jill Rodrigues face!

(Or, for a much cruder thought, based off what someone posted on the JinJer Duggar thread about baby shower games), Pregnant face or Porn Star?

Back to my much cleaner snarking.

Seriously? "Kellyanne Conway says Melania Trump is ‘superior’ to Michelle Obama"

Spoiler

Kellyanne Conway says that Melania Trump is a “superior” first lady compared to Michelle Obama.

TMZ caught up with the senior White House counselor on Monday and asked her about President Donald Trump’s wife. Conway was asked about reports that magazines have shunned Melania, while Michelle was featured on dozens of magazine covers.

“Melania Trump is such a superior and excellent First Lady,” Kellyanne told TMZ. “This country is so lucky to have her.”

K-Con needs to shut up and go away.

What's "superior and excellent" about a former (super)model who refuses to be featured on magazine covers?  Isn't modeling the extraordinary skill that enabled her to get a visa?
