What can be said about TDS-riddled MSNBC that hasn’t already been said?
Speaking of George Conway, a key figure in The Lincoln Project, a group formed by Conway and other dissatisfied Republicans to oppose nearly everything President Donald Trump does or says with extreme drama. The group is known for its vehement stance against Trump.
Conway was trotted out on MSNBC’s Saturday episode of “The Weekend,” solely to trash Trump and his administration, and the first month of Trump 2.0.
Simone Sanders, co-host of the show and former top spokesperson and advisor to ex-Vice President Kamala Harris, inaugurated the typical Trump criticism session.
Amidst judges issuing temporary orders to halt Trump’s broad executive decisions on constitutional grounds, the Trump team is diligently trying to undermine the American legal system. Notably, Elon Musk and JD Vance have alleged that judges are covert Democratic supporters – a claim lacking any substantiating proof, and have even hinted at possibly disregarding court decisions.
Complete nonsense, of course, which I won’t dignify with analysis.
Conway, bitter as always, raced to gutter politics in his very first delusional sentence — and quickly proceeded to go even lower.
The way I look at it is, Donald Trump is a criminal sociopath. You tick off the definition of a sociopath: They don’t want to obey laws; they don’t want to obey rules; they don’t think they apply to them; and Donald Trump has no moral conscience and no empathy. He does not care about anybody else other than Donald Trump, which is why in his first term, he said, ‘Article Two lets me do whatever I want,’ Article Two of the Constitution.
I’m neither a practitioner of whatatboutism nor do I respect its usage in a debate, but “no moral conscience?” “Don’t want to obey laws” and thinks “they don’t apply to him?”
Serial-lying President Joe Biden ignored the Supreme Court repeatedly on the issue of “forgiving” (transferring contractual debt to America’s taxpayers) of student loans. Biden vowed on numerous occasions that he wouldn’t pardon his wayward son Hunter Biden — until he granted him a full and unconditional pardon, only to then issue pardons to his brother James and other members of the Biden Crime Family. So please, Mr. Conway, your hypocrisy is showing — bigly.
Conway continued his bitter spew.
The first Trump term, which I call ‘S***show One,’ was an assault on the rule of law, but it was only — it was like cancer. It was like a Stage 1, maybe Stage 2. We got to Stage 2 right around January 6th. And he was a threat to the rule of law. And then he went into remission.
Now he’s back. We’re at Stage 3. Stage 3 is basically where we are ignoring laws and running roughshod over laws. I mean, you know, they’re basically refusing to spend money appropriated by Congress, which is against the law. The law requires the President to spend money; a President can’t not spend the money that’s been allocated for particular subjects.
Not to nitpick, Mr. Conway, but Michael McKenna, former deputy assistant to the president and deputy director of the Office of Legislative Affairs at the White House, wrote in an op-ed, published by The Washington Times last Wednesday:
The relevant part of Article I (for our purposes) states: “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” That seems clear enough. No one can spend money that Congress has not appropriated.
The Constitution is silent, though, on whether the president has to spend all the money appropriated or, in other words, whether appropriations create a ceiling on spending or a floor. The Article II language sounds like a ceiling, not a floor, and nothing in the Constitution suggests otherwise.
Why you don’t suppose George Conway, of all people, would “twist facts,” do you?
Next up, also predictable, Conway tore into Elon Musk, Trump’s director of his new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
And you’ve got this guy who’s not been appointed lawfully under the Constitution, Musk. And so that’s Stage 3. Stage 4 is going to be, ‘Well, these courts are telling me not to obey orders. Why should I? I don’t want to obey the law, so why am I obeying the courts?’ And Stage 4 is metastasis.
Stage 4 is when democracy can die and the rule of law can die and constitutionalism can die. And we — unless something happens radically, I can’t see how we don’t get to Stage 4, because the logical path that they are taking, which is, is that the law doesn’t apply to us and nobody can enforce the law against us.
While not impossible, it’s a bit of a task to seriously analyze the truly delusional spew of Conway. I haven’t used the analogy for a while, but one would have a better chance of teaching a deaf pigeon to speak French than having a cogent debate with George Conway, let alone convincing him he’s wrong.
Conway continued to embarrass himself, including his last bitter blast at you-know-who.
He is a lawless criminal. And we have, basically, a criminal regime. And if you believe that they are going to enforce, are going to abide by court orders, they’re not going to do it. They’re already probably trying to slide around the court orders, but they’re not quite yet in open defiance. But we will get there.
Poor dude. How awful must it be to go through life riddled with such unbridled hatred about anyone.
The Bottom Line
The humorous part about George Conway and his equally Trump-loathing ilk is that a strong majority of America’s voters supported Donald Trump in November, including record numbers of Democrats who crossed party lines — as much about their disgust with the radicalization of the Democrat Party as with their belief in Trump.
