I have despised Kellyanne Conway as much as anyone but I have to admit
that she is worth her weight in platinum to someone as heinous as Trump.
After pinching my nose closed and trying to hold my breath while watching her on Maher last night with my eyes 95% shut in an effort to block her from my sight, by the time she was done running her mouth I realized that she has a talent that is equaled by very few other people. I've never seen anyone who can rant nonstop as fast as she does, never taking a breath, yapping out her programmed spiels so fast and loud that nobody could ever get a chance to interrupt her...AND... doing it in such a way for so goddamn long that she can be perceived as actually making complete spinnerama sense the entire time to anyone stupid enough to believe what she is saying. She does it so fast without even thinking about it. Sentence after sentence after sentence of nonstop bullshit. As evil and as full of it as she is, she is that fucking good at what she does. I don't know if she has to sit in her room for 8 hours a day practicing or if that shit comes naturally to her or what, but as hateable as she is to anyone with a brain, she definitely has one hell of a talent. I can fully understand how a dumb asshole like Trump would greatly benefit by having her out there to defend him day in and day out with the way she can seemingly turn bullshit into gold with her mouth. She is one incredibly dangerous lady working for the bad guys in the cause for evilness. That's for sure.

I had never heard it before.
I'm generally pretty sparse with words so its mystifying to see someone do this especially so well. When I listen to her I can't help but be aware of how disordered her mind is. |

6. It's an unusual skill with somewhat limited utility,
unless she can attach herself to some other evil asshole who needs a relentless, overwhelming mouthpiece. The way she talks is a bit like circular breathing, which some brass and wind instrument players use to produce a continuous tone without interruption. Maybe she could become an auctioneer.

10. Yup, she sure would make
an incredible auctioneer. Without a doubt she could convince half the bidders in the audience that a cheap $50 reproduction leaded glass lamp just might be an original Louis Comfort Tiffany masterpiece worth a small fortune. She could easily pass off a coin dated "425 BC" as legit.

8. I watched it, too. Maher was totally unprepared for her.
His producers should NEVER let someone like her on unless he is well prepped.
The response to the "Tax cuts" BS should have been to cite the rise in the national debt. One of President Donald Trump’s lesser-known but profoundly damaging legacies will be the explosive rise in the national debt that occurred on his watch.
The financial burden that he’s inflicted on our government will wreak havoc for decades, saddling our kids and grandkids with debt. Trump will have the worst jobs record in modern U.S. history. It’s not just the pandemic. The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That’s nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It amounts to about $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/01/14/trump-legacy-national-debt-increasee/ Not one peep about the children locked in cages and separated from their families. No mention of leading the world in COVID -19 cases and deaths. For every one of the "accomplishments" Kellyanne tried to spew, Maher should have been ready with a negative "achievement". |

13. He's been seemingly "unprepared" a lot recently. Either he is losing it or he admires her or he is
trying to appeal to a new crowd, or all of the above, because this isn't the first time he's let a nefarious bullshitter run rampant over him in recent months, letting them spew their bullshit at will with no intentions of countering them like he used to do.

12. As others have already said,
she perfected the gish-gallop, a known debate technique aimed at suppressing any other point of view. I don't think I had seen that before 2016 at such a deplorable level. It was so infuriating back then and the goal was obvious. Get your propaganda out while clogging the whole interview with an endless diarrhea of lies, don't let anyone counter your claims and just talk over everybody when it's needed. It destroyed every interview she participated in and I never understood why such a garbage pos like her gets TV time.
Some in the media have realized by now that these types of propagandists bring nothing noteworthy to an interview because they have no interest in an exchange. Sadly, Maher gave her a platform. |

28. She left at a perfect time in August and only reappeared in October to tout Supreme Ct pick
She left in part due to family crisis but also Kellyanne knew Trump would probably lose and she didn't want to be associated with losing campaign this year after helping him win in 2016.
Her jubilant presence at October Supreme Court celebration at WH was a self-serving way to bask in glory of taking credit for helping T win and steering him towards the appointment of a judge that her husband recommended. |
