You think he should just take that sitting down?

Now that’s funny – Kellyanne Conway is defending Trump’s insults aimed at George Conway.

Kellyanne Conway on Wednesday defended President Donald Trump’s attacks on her husband George Conway saying he’s “a counterpuncher” and asserting that the president is free to respond when he’s accused of having a mental illness.

“He left it alone for months out of respect for me,” Conway, a senior Trump aide, told POLITICO in a brief telephone interview. “But you think he shouldn’t respond when somebody, a non-medical professional, accuses him of having a mental disorder? You think he should just take that sitting down?”

Oh no, definitely not, he should definitely get on Twitter and call him Mister Wife’s Name and a loser and a husband from hell, as presidents so normally do. Definitely. The fact that you’re married to him is neither here nor there.

(By the way the expression is “take that lying down.”) (Maybe she’s nervous of using the word “lying” in connection with her boss.)

    Nah, she either doesn’t recognise Donnie’s lies, or is herself as accomplished in the art of dishonesty as the boss. Why else would she claim that he respects her?

    I have a question: If Trump would have said any of the things he Tweets about his opponents in reference to Devin Nunes would he be suing Trump now?

    No, I think he should get therapy. And resign.

    …but not in that order.

    Exactly, Skeltor. Resign first. Everything else is just a cherry on top.

    Trump’s Trumping again! Bemoaning the lack of thanks he got for allowing McCain to receive a state funeral*, and saying that McCain let down ‘vets and the VA’ by not repealing Obamacare.

    He’s feuding with a dead man, for fuck sake, and he’s not even winning that!

    *Not his call, Senate decides.

    **I would love to know the connection here, but I’ve a feeling it doesn’t even exist in Trump’s near-vacuum of a mind.

    This may be a question for Miss Manners, but what is the protocol on thanking people for arranging your funeral?

    Also, if someone attends your funeral, are you obliged to return the favor?
