Justifying Trump's refusal to concede the election he lost, Kayleigh McEnany complains about Democrats saying mean things about Trump in 2016-17, and falsely claims his transition was not orderly.

Kayleigh McEnany claims Trump was never allowed a proper transition. But here's Donald Trump in his 2017 inaugural address saying he is "grateful" to the Obamas for "their gracious aid throughout this transition."

1. And to think we used to laugh at Baghdad Bob.

[Nevilledog]

3. Don't you just want to slap that smarmy look of her face?

[Biophilic]

36. yes, yes, and yes and I'm not a physical violence sort of person but she just brings out

the worst in me. I never thought I could actually hate somebody, but she's really tempting me. For some reason she's become the hardest for me to even look at let alone listen to. I just despise her. Had to look up 'despise' because I've never used it before.

[Biophilic]

37. yes, yes, and yes and I'm not a physical violence sort of person but she just brings out

the worst in me. Can't even write posts correctly because she gets me so angry. I just despise her. Had to look up 'despise' cause I've never used it in a written communication before.

[Cha]

43. Something! I can't even look.. just thinking

bad words at her to myself.

"lying little ****** freak Rot in Hell for Sociopathic Liars."

[leftieNanner]

2. Boy! I sure am glad she promised not to ever lie to us!

Because then things would really go haywire.

Oh....................

[Nevilledog]

6. Alas, that promise was her first lie.

[underpants]

4. Did he not get a full box of crayons when he was 5?

STFU

[Midnightwalk]

22. He did but he ate half. With a glue chaser.

[underpants]

26. And paint chips

Pretty sure about the paint chips

[CatMor]

5. She would be fired in any other job with as many "mistakes" as she's made.

[leftieNanner]

8. Doubt she would have been hired in the first place. nt

[Shermann]

35. She sorta kinda accidently gaslighted the American people. Could've happened to anyone! nt

[Arkansas Granny]

7. I know this is unkind, but every time I see Kayleigh,

I am reminded of pictures I've seen in ads for blow up sex dolls.

[MyOwnPeace]

10. If you weren't surfing those sites......

you wouldn't be getting those ads!


(Just kidding - you're a treasure here at DU - love the "downhome" wisdom!)

[Arkansas Granny]

12. Well, you know how it is. Old ladies gotta get their kicks somehow.

[MyOwnPeace]

15. WHEW!!!!!

Better to hear from you than the "Jury!" (Ya' never know these days! )

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

23. .

[Laelth]

21. Oh, well done. LOL. n/t

-Laelth

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. I can't imagine why.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

31. Unkind? To the doll, definitely. nt

[woodsprite]

9. His people with Russian help started the transition before the election in 2016. nt

[peggysue2]

11. McEnany's comments?

Liars gotta lie. Because that's all she's got when defending the Liar-in-Chief.

[exboyfil]

14. It was because they threw the briefing books away

Biden had Pence in his office two days after the election. I think it was the same timing for Obama-Trump.

They decided to throw everything away including the documents related to pandemic response. Those plans were originally drafted in the George W. Bush administration, and further expanded upon in Obama's administration.

[MyOwnPeace]

16. Facts, facts, facts........

Who you gonna' believe, the facts, or the crying babies throwing the tantrums?

(And yeah, we who the MAGAT'S are hearing......... )

[pat_k]

17. It wasn't "orderly" because the DT and his "team" were incompetent imbeciles.

Cabinet meetings in the dark because they couldn't find the light switches says it all.

[PatSeg]

27. And I recall Trump being reluctant to spend

the money allocated for the transition, as if it was HIS money. Christie had to keep reminding him that it was the law.

[pat_k]

30. And Christie's attempts to raise funds for transition team before the election. . .

. . .were met with fury.

You’re jinxing me," Woodward quotes Trump as saying. "I don’t want a transition. I’m shutting down the transition. I told you from day one it was just an honorary title. You’re jinxing me. I’m not going to spend a second on it."

DT never gave a shit about doing a damn thing to create a coherent administration. Destroying the ability of executive agencies to implement and enforce law is as good as overturning the law.

[PatSeg]

39. It was absolutely bizarre

He had no concept at all what being president was about. He was just winging it.

[Caliman73]

46. He has no idea about anything. He was always winging it.

What did he ever do that was successful and sustained, that wasn't handed to him?

He was such a good business person that his dad kept having to bail him out. He went bankrupt at least 4 times. He even sucked on the Apprentice. Trump is manufactured. He is a facade. That is under even the slightest scrutiny, he folds. As President of the US, you are under the most stress and the highest scrutiny.

He thought he would be able to spin it and make it into one of his "gold plated" joints, but you can't have the presidency ghost written.

[PatSeg]

49. Exactly

From what I can see, I think he is programmed to fail. Any success has been extremely short lived and he turns around and does something that will guarantee failure. It is inconceivable that any person could fail at everything for over fifty years. No matter how much money he has, he will blow it and then go into debt. Reminds me of a compulsive gambler.

[Caliman73]

51. As Mary Trump said, "he isn't particularly smart"

Likely from all his siblings, he was the under achiever, but apparently his dad Fred, made him the darling and fed him a diet of bullshit about how special he was.

So, given what we know about ignorance from the Dunning-Kruger effect, how he was told he was better than anybody even though I am absolutely positive that privately Fred Trump told Donald what a disappointment he was; it would definitely lead to someone who was both arrogant and insecure, who built a fantasy around himself and started to believe the hype. The thing is, at the end of the day, you can only lie to yourself so much. Trump suffers because he knows he is a loser, but he cannot admit that to himself, so he rages on and on.

[PatSeg]

52. Yes, I think that sums it up quite well

Though his father indulged him, he also undoubtedly made him feel inferior. It is odd that Fred favored the least intelligent of his children, though he might have been impressed with young Donald's ruthlessness.

Yes, Trump knows he is a loser and anything he does seems to reinforce that, while outwardly he keeps declaring himself a brilliant success. How different the world would be if a young Donald could have been allowed to fail and not be bailed out. Failure can be a great teacher.

[Caliman73]

55. I often say that without the money, he would have ended up in prison or dead somewhere.

I think you are right. Had a been allowed to experience reality, I think he would have been tempered. Maybe still a complete jerk, but not as dangerous as he is now.

I think that his other siblings were not attracted to the power as much as Donald was. There was a sort of rejection of Fred's meanness that kept the other brothers, who were smarter, away from following in Fred's footsteps. Donald loved the meanness and the power.

[smirkymonkey]

54. +1000

[Shermann]

38. Could Biden get the money released if he hands over some dirt on Hunter?

Just asking.

[PatSeg]

41. Ha, ha!

Naw, they don't care about Hunter anymore. They just want to screw with the Biden administration anyway they can. If they can't win, then everyone loses! Can you imagine playing a board game with Trump? He'd turn over the board whenever he was losing and that would be after he cheated.

[Shermann]

44. Biden should make the offer very publicly just to ridicule Trump

Biden is too decent and serious of a guy though.

But I say if this is going to be a joke, let's take it to the Monty Python Flying Circus "Election Night Special" level.

Trump is clearly the Very Silly party.

[PatSeg]

45. Very Silly, but sadly very dangerous

[ecstatic]

53. +1000. nt

[WyattKansas]

18. The only reason tRUMP would not have had an orderly transition is because tRUMP...

And his kids are too stupid to realize exactly how government works, since they have always been accustomed to defrauding everyone they victimize.

[spanone]

20. She's full of some serious poundage of BULLSHIT

[lagomorph777]

24. MAGAninny can go jump in the Reflecting Pond.

What an asshole.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

25. Harvard law liar...

They should revoke he degree, lying in TV is way worse then in person to your buddy or something.

She is 100% pure fraud just like her boss.

[GoCubsGo]

28. I am still amzed that that cross has not burned a hole in her chest.

She is such a despicable, fucking liar.

[ProfessorGAC]

47. Or Got Hit By Lightning!

Either is ok by me!

[tulipsandroses]

29. I didn't think she could lie worse than Huckabee Sanders, I think she wins

How do they live with themselves?

[SWBTATTReg]

32. Ah, the whine fest continues. I guess it's going to last over four years, eh? That's fine, I'll...

celebrate with each new Biden win in the courts and the legislative chambers of Congress w/ a bottle of wine. A new breath of fresh air, and a new and positive direction for our Country.

[mobeau69]

33. Michael Lewis covered this in "The Fifth Risk".

Obama went all out for the transition and the dump team wasn’t interested. She is a fucking liar.

[barbtries]

34. such fucking liars!

jeezus this is so bad.

[sprinkleeninow]

40. 2 verses from Scripture (ESV):

John 8:44
"You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

Matthew 25:41
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."

[God's Word, not mine.]

42. What the hell

alternate timeline are these people(?) from, and can we please send them back?

[BumRushDaShow]

48. "never allowed a proper transition" - You mean when Pence booted Christie out of the way

to take over the transition team?

Mike Pence Takes Over Donald Trump’s Transition Team
He ousts Chris Christie to take over a team that also includes Trump’s children and a bevy of Washington insiders.


By Gabrielle Levy, Political Reporter?Nov. 11, 2016, at 3:14 p.m.



Vice President-elect Mike Pence is taking over as the chairman of the presidential transition team, accelerating what had been a sluggish effort in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump's surprise victory Tuesday. Pence will take over from embattled New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has helmed the effort since Donald Trump became the presumptive nominee in May.

Christie will stay on as a vice chairman, joined by retired pediatric neurosurgeon and former presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala. as fellow vice chairs.

Trump's three children, Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr., are also among those named to the transition's executive committee, as are his son-in-law Jared Kushner, several sitting members of Congress, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, former Goldman Sachs executive Steve Mnuchin, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and tech billionaire Peter Thiel.

"Together this outstanding group of advisors, led by Vice President-elect Mike Pence, will build on the initial work done under the leadership of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to help prepare a transformative government ready to lead from day one," Trump said in a statement Friday. "The mission of our team will be clear: put together the most highly qualified group of successful leaders who will be able to implement our change agenda in Washington. Together, we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding this nation -- specifically jobs, security and opportunity. This team is going to get to work immediately to Make America Great Again."
