Would This Count?
Kayleigh McEnany promised that she would not lie.
“This president is the most informed person on Planet Earth in terms of the threats that we face.”
— White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, at a press briefing today.
Is anybody keeping score?
And she managed to get that out with a straight face too.
1I hate to disagree, but in a way Kayleigh may be right on this one. The President does receive the President’s Daily Briefing, which contains within its pages an up to the minute compilation of threats and major events around the world.
He is informed WITH the PDB, but then is not informed BY the PDB, because as Trump famously said, he doesn’t read it.
2Why keep score? Her statement she would never lie turns out to be a lie. One and done for that statement. Are we keeping score so that she can be compared to someone else (like her boss, for example). Again, why? Does she have to utter some specific number before she’s labeled a Liar?
3I read something the other day: people don’t wear masks because they don’t hide the lobotomy scar like MAGA hats. I think she’s speaking to hat-heads!
4Only one lie: starting with “I will never lie” every word that has come out of her piehole since then has continued the lie. It’s unbroken. Longest continuous lie in history.
5Her ongoing flattery and brown nosing of malignant narcissist Trump is reliably effective in getting his help advancing her religious extremist Apocalypse wet dream.
6Rapture Ready or not, the shit gonna hit the fan.
She just threw trump under the bus. If he’s “the most informed person on Planet Earth” he knew all about the Russian bounty on coalition troops last year, when the UK intelligence people found out. That he did nothing except fawn on Putin will damn him in the eyes of history, if not of Mitch McConnell.
7Hate to day this, but she has always reminded me of an inflatable Barbie Doll. About as smart too.
8I think this opinion piece ( linked below )just about encompasses the whole political mess we’re experiencing with blame properly assessed & left at the doorstep of these folks. Check it out & see if you don’t agree?

9Y’all, the “ inflatable Barbie doll” says her master “ consumes intelligence verbally”. What’s that mean? Is it possible.? I don’t think One can consume anything verbally—— orally, yes or like a suppository, but not verbally.
10Thanks, Art!
11There is medication for that level of delusion she is displaying.
12The White House Press Secretary was lying on Day One of her job, and she’s still lying on Day Whatever-This-Is. I hope she’s getting all she can while she still can, because admitting to this job on her resume is going to mean that she’ll never be hired by anybody but Fox News, ever again.
13Diane @ 12:
There’s a fallacy in your thinking. In order for her to get any benefit from that medication, she would have to believe in science. And doctors.
So she’s s o l. Fortunately for her, though certainly not the rest of us, she seems happy in her state.
14I swear! More and more people these days just don’t know what a lie is! they must have been raised in caves with non-verbal nannies!
15I was trying to think of a group of people that were so completely brainwashed and programmed to follow their leader no matter what. Charlie Manson’s cultists come as close as any. Sadly, that includes many in Congress. Getting people killed is not below their loyalty.
16Most informed person on planet Earth? What about Uranus?
17Art Foulkes#9…many thanks. Brilliant writing, absolutely true, and the best new name for the Lone Asshat…”Ramp Boy”.
As I have said for 4 decades now (ever since Ronnie Raygun’s election in 1980), “No one is safe unless we are ALL safe.”
18Thanks. I agree, it is a piece of excellent writing – not by me of course. I just wanted to share it. Too bad the link provided didn’t work as intended, but I think the opinion piece might still be easy to find using google search terms: dailykos & The Unfathomable Stupidity of Rich White Men, the article title. I hope a lot of people read it, as it was initially posted to the dailykos website just last week
19Kirstjen Nielsen remains unemployed. Baghdad Barbie and similarly-placed Trumpeters ought to think about that, especially the young ones.
