TODAY’S @$$HOLE OF THE DAY:
1hh5qj.jpg


Today’s AOTD comes from the recommendation of a good friend…….After reading up on my friend’s suggested repulsive varmint, I more than agree with my friend…..Today’s AOTD is not only a repulsive varmint, but a low-life scum of the earth POS……

His name is George Conway, the husband of Kellyanne Conway…..Remember that line “the husband of Kellyanne Conway”……

George has been in a running feud with President Donald J Trump for quite some time now……It has got rather heated over time…..It is terribly embarrassing for Kellyanne, as she is Trump’s right arm in his administration……

Some examples of Conway constantly picking at PDJT (using Twitter, guest editorials, and blogs):

He called President Donald Trump’s hirings and firings “absurd”……

He described President Donald J Trump’ statements as “False and misleading”

He wrote about PDJT, “You. Are. Nuts.”

He was quoted, ‘I wish she (Kellyanne) didn’t work there.’

He wrote, “TRUMP IS A CANCER ON THE PRESIDENCY. CONGRESS SHOULD REMOVE HIM.”

In the wake of E. Jean Carroll’s allegation that Trump raped her, George writes an op-ed arguing that Carroll’s claims are more credible than those of Juanita Broaddrick, who accused Bill Clinton in the ’90s.

George writes in an op-ed: “Naivete, resentment and outright racism, roiled in a toxic mix, have given us a racist president.”

“You don’t need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, and you don’t need to be a mental health professional to see that something’s very seriously off with Trump,” George writes in the Atlantic. He makes the case that Trump is a classic narcissist.

George tweets that Trump is “100% insane, and nobody in the administration has the balls to tell him that.” The tweet gets almost 90,000 likes and is retweeted by Jake Tapper.

He muses that Trump’s reelection could destroy America.

George endorses Joe Biden for POTUS, then donates $2,800 to Biden’s campaign—and tweets proof of the contribution.

There’s much more, but I’m tired of typing, and you’re tired of reading……You get the point……

b9eed33a1516ac93181d826268577531e6-15-kellyanne-conway-george-conway.rsquare.w700.jpg


All the time Kellyanne is there 100% supportive of President Trump……And she fires back at George, saying, "It is disrespectful, it's a violation of basic decency, certainly, if not marital vows." Kellyanne is proud of her own independence, so much so that she does not hesitate to challenge her husband's influence. "Nobody knows who I am because of my husband," Kellyanne said. "People know of my husband because of me."

To make a long story short, this sums up Kellyanne’s counterpoints to her husband’s comments, "I feel there's a part of him that thinks I chose Donald Trump over him," Kellyanne said. "Which is ridiculous. One is my work and one is my marriage." Remember that line from above “the husband of Kellyanne Conway”……George Conway is a jealous man….Jealous of Kellyanne’s success……Jealous of Kellyanne’s exposure…..Jealous of Kellyanne’s popularity…….

Kellyanne embarrassingly has to go stag to the state dinner for Australian prime minister Scott Morrison, one of many embarrassing moments for her at the White House……

A little fact Kellyanne……There are something like 25 million eligible bachelors out there that are miles and miles ahead of that sorry SOB you’re now married to……I dunno if Tammy Wynette (if she were still living) would even disagree with me on that……

George Conway is a LOSER, and he is also our AOTD……Step up on the podium Mr. Kellyanne Conway, put on the crown of stinking shame, for I now anoint you @$$Hole of the day…..And may I add, you, George Conway are one more stupid SOB…..You married way above your head, and you ain’t got sense enough to know it….KMA George!!



As always folks, I hope each of you have a Great Bulldawg Day.......GATA.....THWGT......MAGA......Go Dawgs......God Bless........

Excellent, rch. Thank you.

If you were casting a movie, you couldn't pick a person who looks more like an AOTD than George Conway.

You're rekindling memories. For the 2nd day in a row, you've honored a Georgia Bulldog from our fraternity house. Tommy Lawhorne yesterday and Tom Nash today. We also has starting DE Lee Daniel, running backs Trav Paine and Ed Allen, but some said the best footballer at our house was David Volpitto of Augusta. David started at quarterback for the 1965 Bullpups before giving up football to pursue going to medical school.

College football was really, really fun in those days when we were students and knew so many of the players. I sat right behind Bill Stanfill in Algebra 101. Everyday Bill put his head on his desk and slept while I sat, eyes transfixed on the blackboard. At the end of the quarter, Bill made the honor roll and I didn't. He also got After Steve Spurrier's Arse.
Once on the first day of the quarter, I walked into an English class and there were about a dozen players, including Billy Payne, Bruce Kemp, and Rusty Epperson, in the class. I immediately knew things would go well for all of us.

Good morning to all you truly good yet deplorable Dawgs……..Taco Tuesday, Fat Tuesday, Ruby Tuesday, whatever you want to call it….It’s still Monday plus one……I hope everyone is healthy…..If I had one wish come true, I would wish good health to everyone……But I don’t have that power, so take care of yourself…….Enjoy today’s Mumblings, and I’ll see y’all tomorrow……

TODAY’S @$$HOLE OF THE DAY:
1hh5qj.jpg


Today’s AOTD comes from the recommendation of a good friend…….After reading up on my friend’s suggested repulsive varmint, I more than agree with my friend…..Today’s AOTD is not only a repulsive varmint, but a low-life scum of the earth POS……

His name is George Conway, the husband of Kellyanne Conway…..Remember that line “the husband of Kellyanne Conway”……

George has been in a running feud with President Donald J Trump for quite some time now……It has got rather heated over time…..It is terribly embarrassing for Kellyanne, as she is Trump’s right arm in his administration……

Some examples of Conway constantly picking at PDJT (using Twitter, guest editorials, and blogs):

He called President Donald Trump’s hirings and firings “absurd”……

He described President Donald J Trump’ statements as “False and misleading”

He wrote about PDJT, “You. Are. Nuts.”

He was quoted, ‘I wish she (Kellyanne) didn’t work there.’

He wrote, “TRUMP IS A CANCER ON THE PRESIDENCY. CONGRESS SHOULD REMOVE HIM.”

In the wake of E. Jean Carroll’s allegation that Trump raped her, George writes an op-ed arguing that Carroll’s claims are more credible than those of Juanita Broaddrick, who accused Bill Clinton in the ’90s.

George writes in an op-ed: “Naivete, resentment and outright racism, roiled in a toxic mix, have given us a racist president.”

“You don’t need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, and you don’t need to be a mental health professional to see that something’s very seriously off with Trump,” George writes in the Atlantic. He makes the case that Trump is a classic narcissist.

George tweets that Trump is “100% insane, and nobody in the administration has the balls to tell him that.” The tweet gets almost 90,000 likes and is retweeted by Jake Tapper.

He muses that Trump’s reelection could destroy America.

George endorses Joe Biden for POTUS, then donates $2,800 to Biden’s campaign—and tweets proof of the contribution.

There’s much more, but I’m tired of typing, and you’re tired of reading……You get the point……

b9eed33a1516ac93181d826268577531e6-15-kellyanne-conway-george-conway.rsquare.w700.jpg


All the time Kellyanne is there 100% supportive of President Trump……And she fires back at George, saying, "It is disrespectful, it's a violation of basic decency, certainly, if not marital vows." Kellyanne is proud of her own independence, so much so that she does not hesitate to challenge her husband's influence. "Nobody knows who I am because of my husband," Kellyanne said. "People know of my husband because of me."

To make a long story short, this sums up Kellyanne’s counterpoints to her husband’s comments, "I feel there's a part of him that thinks I chose Donald Trump over him," Kellyanne said. "Which is ridiculous. One is my work and one is my marriage." Remember that line from above “the husband of Kellyanne Conway”……George Conway is a jealous man….Jealous of Kellyanne’s success……Jealous of Kellyanne’s exposure…..Jealous of Kellyanne’s popularity…….

Kellyanne embarrassingly has to go stag to the state dinner for Australian prime minister Scott Morrison, one of many embarrassing moments for her at the White House……

A little fact Kellyanne……There are something like 25 million eligible bachelors out there that are miles and miles ahead of that sorry SOB you’re now married to……I dunno if Tammy Wynette (if she were still living) would even disagree with me on that……

George Conway is a LOSER, and he is also our AOTD……Step up on the podium Mr. Kellyanne Conway, put on the crown of stinking shame, for I now anoint you @$$Hole of the day…..And may I add, you, George Conway are one more stupid SOB…..You married way above your head, and you ain’t got sense enough to know it….KMA George!!

I added the music videos to my daily mumblings mainly because I knew you would like them (and enjoy them).......I'm glad to hear that you still do (since our migration over from the other site)......
