Astounding video from George Conway

Lifelong Republican George Conway gaslights Donald Trump with a new ad that takes advantage of a well-documented truth: All of Trump's make-believe friends think he's deranged. Or a "psychopath," as Conway more accurately puts it on his Psycho PAC site.

"Hey, Donald? All your friends, all the people that have worked with you, they all think you're nuts," Conway narrates, as a parade of conservatives — from Ted Cruz and John Bolton to Marco Rubio and Bill Barr — float around Trump's head in a distorted room (his mind) to prove his point.

And every one of his conservative chums and associates think the same thing: "Crazy" (Gov. Chris Sununu) … "Narcissist" (Ted Cruz) … "Erratic individual" (Marco Rubio)… "Wacky" (Nikki Haley) … "Literally insane!" (Adam Kinzinger) … "Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States" (John Bolton) … "He's not fit to be president of the United States" (Lindsey Graham). And that's just the half of it. (See video below.)

Although the ad is executed with humorous, cartoonish elements (a warped image of Trump's head with eyes that pivot from one bad thought bubble to another as we hear a ticking time bomb in the background), its message, obviously, is not so funny. As Conway says on his site: "Donald Trump is f**cking insane. … 'Sociopath' and 'narcissist' aren't just buzzwords—Trump's pathological lying, authoritarian tendencies, and his disregard for democratic norms will destroy our country if he gets reelected. He's that dangerous."

However, they all worked for him, enabled him, bowed to him and kissed his ass…some of them still do. They along with his Assholiness tried to steal the peoples vote and our very Democracy.

If you liked that, you'll like this one. It opens up his brain (which is orange) and plays some of the crazy stuff he says/does. Damn, George Conway, you are somethin' for pulling this off!



Also, take a look at his web site. There are all kinds of fun goodies there.

He is their ideal, the role model they want their children to follow.

So a few squeaky voices, sure, but still the madding magat republicon crowd
worships, follows, empowers, and is willing to commit crime on his behalf.

Tragic to behold how far the G.O.P. has strayed from Christ's teachings,
especially the DON'T BEAR NO STINKING FALSE WITNESS injunction.

I am amazed - TRULY amazed - over what trump gets away with. And how he "just goes ahead and DOES it", whatever the "it" is, at any random moment, to throw up roadblocks and tar pits in the way of any kind of justice finally getting to him, at long last. Just amazed. Mystified. Gobsmacked. Slack-jawed. Color me just absolutely and COMPLETELY INCREDULOUS.

As my mom used to say, "he's got more nerve than the guy who ate the first oyster."
