TODAY’S @$$HOLE OF THE DAY:
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……
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........
