Between alternative facts, selling Ivankas shit, the Bowling Green massacre, and microwaves recording people...I would pump the brakes on insulting anyones intelligence.

These two are despicable.
Meanwhile, your boss is selling access to the White House. Ran a fake university and neither he or his children earned their way through any institution, more importantly, life.

"The superintendent confirmed that wealthy NYMA trustees wanted him to hand Trumps records over to them, but he refused...
Trump ordered Cohen to threaten his high school, colleges & College Board to never release his grades or SAT scores." #SummaCumLiar

(27,797 posts)My favorite tweets in response to Ms. Conway's idiotic tweet are:
Mary Etta:
"Could be worse, they could have a job where they lie & twist 'alternate facts' for a living"
Amy Siskind:
"Kinda almost as bad as accepting help from a foreign adversary to install a puppet regime"
