KellyAnn Conway reacts to Streep!

[1965Comet]

“I’m concerned that somebody with a platform like Meryl Streep is also, I think, inciting people’s worst instincts,” Conway said. “When she won’t get up there and say, ‘I didn’t like it, but let’s try to support him and see where we can find some common ground with him.’ Which he has actually done from moment one. The moment he won, he said I’m going to be president for [all people].”

I love her suggestion that Trump has tried to mend fences since "the moment he won"! I guess she didn't read his tweet about his "enemies". Also, it is a bit much to hear Conway complain about someone "inciting people's worst instincts", considering her bosses campaign rhetoric...

1. con-way is gaslighting

[uponit7771]

8. +1, she is QUEEN at it... she could be a force for good if she didn't sell her soul to MiniPoot

[Cha]

9. She's a sociopathic liar for evil.. not much chance of that.

[mnhtnbb]

13. That's the polite term for it.

I can think of a few verbs and nouns that would make The Rude One proud
to describe what she's doing for Trump. Think along the lines of sucking, licking, kissing...

[mnhtnbb]

18. Important description of gaslighting--and you are exactly right that is what Conway is doing

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse used by narcissists in order to instill in their victim’s an extreme sense of anxiety and confusion to the point where they no longer trust their own memory, perception or judgment. The techniques used in “Gaslighting” by the narcissist are similar to those used in brainwashing, interrogation, and torture that have been used in psychological warfare by intelligence operative, law enforcement and other forces for decades.

The intention is to, in a systematic way, target the victim’s mental equilibrium, self confidence, and self esteem so that they are no longer able to function in an independent way. Gaslighting involves the abuser to frequently and systematically withhold factual information from the victim, and replacing it with false information. Because of it’s subtly, this cunning Machiavellian behaviour is a deeply insidious set of manipulations that is difficult for anybody to work out, and with time it finally undermines the mental stability of the victim. That is why it is such a dangerous form of abuse.

25. Thank you for that thorough definition of Gasligthing, mnhtnbb

[uponit7771]

35. +1, "these are not the drones you're looking for"

[Equinox Moon]

51. Oh, this needs to be a thread on its own. (regarding gaslighting)

Thanks for the explanation.

[mnhtnbb]

52. Yes. I've just posted in another thread the same info.

I will start a thread about it.

[mnhtnbb]

55. Here's the thread; thanks for the suggestion.

It is important for people to understand and be able to identify the technique. Because it is designed to make
you crazy and question your own judgment.

[NastyRiffraff]

63. I was just about to look it up

It's a term I'm not familiar with, so thanks for the explanation. It does explain a lot, about both Kellyanne and Dump.

[Ligyron]

67. Term is from the movie "Gaslight".

Where a husband uses this technique on his wife (I think) to destabilize her by screwing with the gaslighting in the house. Turning it on and off and then denying it.

[vanlassie]

42. Let's see start calling her "Gassy Kelly."

[pangaia]

61. Maybe we need to stop using the word gaslighting and start to say lying..

Imagine media flunk hot shots saying. "It has been suggested that trump has been LYING about.... fill in the blank."

[Cha]

70. I'm doing both

[Tracer]

68. Maybe KellyAnn should check out this web site:

http://www.trumptwitterarchive.com

Trump show such respect for everyone, doesn't he?

[Cha]

71. That would be a good thing to tweet her.. thanks for the link, Tracer

http://www.trumptwitterarchive.com

[liberal N proud]

2. Que the CON-way propaganda

Why she is allowed to spew her sick rhetoric is beyond me.

[mcar]

3. Does she know for whom she works?

Streep is inciting people's worst instincts? Again, sometimes there are not enough walls. Ouch.

[Cha]

14. It's Big Brother in action

[TheBlackAdder]

39. Perhaps, she doesn't.

[spanone]

4. well kellyanne, let me explain. nobody likes the schoolyard bully and there is no common ground.

step away from the kool-aid kellyanne, you are drunk.

[uponit7771]

5. WOW!!! In their bubble they seriously think Americans are going to let MiniPoots statements go!?!?

[Paladin]

6. KellyAnne Conway vs. Meryl Streep.

That's all I have to say.

[onecent]

7. AMEN to that one Paladin!!!!

[AgadorSparticus]

30. Exactly. That says a lot right there.

[lunatica]

64. Exactly!

[Tanuki]

10. Kremlin Kelly thinks that defending the disabled against

cruel public humiliation is "inciting people's worst instincts"? How typical of her twisted values.

[world wide wally]

34. That is it in a nutshell

No need to elaborate any more.

[kstewart33]

11. Conway has this incredible ability to turn pig slop into wine.

Not the kind of wine you'd want to buy because a good friend's coming over for dinner, but the rot-gut kind. The kind that will rot your digestive tract from the inside out if you drink a bit too much.

[muntrv]

12. Oh KellyAnne! It is no worse than what Ted "Crappypants' Nugent has said about Obama.!

[Stellar]

15. Kellyann Conway is not talking to the majority voters...

She's taking to those backward people that voted for Trump. We know better.

[kentuck]

16. What an ugly person!

Depraved in her desire to please her boss and promote her own interests.

[Golden Raisin]

17. She is a woman who willingly and enthusiastically

works for the Pussy-Grabber. Says a lot about her. End of story.

[iluvtennis]

53. +10000 nt

[Freethinker65]

19. Oh man, KellyAnn is slipping...

...she couldn't find a way to deflect to bashing Hillary? Hahaha. But she did did deflect once again to...this is not what we should be talking about, we should be talking about this (typical bullshit)

[oberliner]

26. How will they function without the Hillary foil?

Will it just be "Hollywood" and "the press" as the bad guys now?

[AgadorSparticus]

32. And people think she is so good at her craft. She sucks. In a big way.

At this point in the game, if you have to resort to using your already defeated opponent, you suck at what you do.

I have always said this, though. She is only as good as the media is negligent.

[Freethinker65]

36. I am one of those that think she is masterful at deflection...however,

If that is all she has and knows how to do, she will soon become ineffective. She will become even more a parody of herself. It will be interesting to see if she is smart enough to adapt. Personally I hope she crashes and burns.

[randr]

20. Didn't Trump use his platform as a TV show pseudo celebrity to incite peoples worst instincts?

The continuation of accusing others of his failings is becoming overly transparent.

[Arkansas Granny]

38. Seriously. The call to "lock her up, lock her up" still rings in my ears.

Kellyanne knows on which side her bread is buttered and she'll play her part flawlessly.

[NRaleighLiberal]

21. k a conjob should be ignored by everyone - maybe she would just go away

[Tommy_Carcetti]

22. "Worst instincts."

As in, say, mocking someone's disability?

[oberliner]

23. She also said Streep should have talked about the guys in the FB video

Who attacked a disabled person.

Difference is - they were arrested, Trump is president-elect.

[jaxind]

24. Kelly Anne CONway

Did you hear CONway say that the idea that trump mocked a disabled reporter has been debunked because trump has said about 100 times that he didn't do it! First of all...thank you CONway...good to know that all someone has to do is keep denying they did something and that makes it not true. Boy, I wish Hillary knew that...it sure would have saved us a lot of money and grief for Hillary if we hadn't had all those benghazi investigations!!! Second of all, CONway, we have video!!

[mnhtnbb]

29. FFS, Conway! Doesn't she have kids?

Surely she knows that no matter how many times the kid said he didn't take the cookie that if a camera was on
and caught the kid with his hand in the cookie jar that the 100 denials don't change the facts! But, oops, I forgot,
we are now in a twilight zone world where there are no "facts" for Republicans.

[TNNurse]

27. Self awareness is a foreign concept to most of the GOP

Conway, McConnell, Ryan and T---p could not understand the concept with hours of explanation. They actually think that they are decent people.

[LittleGirl]

28. Stuff it Conway

You are not going to win any of us over. Not now, Not Ever. STFU.

[barbtries]

31. such bullshit.

he was going to be "everyone's" president for as long as the lie took to come out of his mouth.

[C_U_L8R]

33. I'm sorry Kellyanne but I have no common ground

with an self-absorbed asshole who mocks people with disablities
(among many other heinous traits).

[world wide wally]

37. The best thing that could happen at this point would be for someone to invite her on their show

and not speak to her. Just see what she would ramble on about.
Then, when she ran out of breath (a half hour or so), just say, "Bullshit"

[turbinetree]

40. Hey CONway you really have no PRINCIPLES-------NONE

and then you have the audacity to lecture someone on civility.

Do you remember this moment CONway, it says everything about your fascist sexual predator boss ---------------everything, no remorse no empathy------------------none

[smirkymonkey]

44. I just saw her on CNN (In our break room at work) speaking about this and she was defending

Trump by saying "Why do you people always go after him by what he says and not by what is in his heart" - paraphrasing, but that was basically it. Disgusting. I couldn't believe it. What is in his heart? Because it is probably even worse than what comes out of that anal pore of a mouth.

I really can't believe the shit she tries to peddle - and all with a straight face.

[TreasonousBastard]

46. I am going by what's in his heart...

and once you find that tiny thing, it is a deep, dark pit indeed.

[turbinetree]

57. Did the CNN moderator look over at this fascist hypocrite and say let me show you

what your boss said, let me remind you of what your boss said, do you think he has any Principles, why do you CONway support and endorse a sexual serial predator, for the money or the principles with a small p

Do you think he is an adult to mock someone that cannot use his hands or arms like your boss did flaying around and mocking this human being, do you or him have any f***ing empathy, to look at yourself in the f**ing mirror every morning and say I am so lucky---------------------




There are not enough emoji's or words for me to express my outrage at this self serving right wing Fascist republican hypocrite and her fascist party---------------none


But to you and for you

[smirkymonkey]

58. It was Chris Cuomo, he said "But he's on videotape!"

"you stupid whore!" Actually, he didn't say the stupid whore part - I made that up - but he should have. He just looked at her like "how effing stupid do you think I am peddling that bullshit here?"

[turbinetree]

60. Wado (Thank you)

I am so glad I do notwork for a "Media" a firm like CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS, F*** the other right wing stations all together and the horses they ride in on, I would be fired.

I would be holding this racists, fascists supporting person accountable for her actions, what is remarkable is that she, them, all of them, will not apologize, will not say the words------------never, these tin foil hats---never.

[Squinch]

41. Satan's little minion is an evil manipulator.

[teezy]

43. I know I'm pointing out the obvious...

But this line...

"I'm concerned that somebody with a platform like Meryl Streep is also, I think, inciting people's worst instincts."

... sums up the hypocrisy of Trump supporters. Because in their disillusionment they fail to see Trump doing this each and every day. You could tell them the sky is blue and they'd say it's orange and argue with you over it, even though it's indisputable. This drives me insane more than anything, is the vehement denial of something plain and clear as day. They don't see the blatant hypocrisy and stupidity of saying something like that while defending the most offensive person the White House has ever seen. And you know that if ANY Democratic candidate was being as unpresidential as Trump is being, they'd be calling for impeachment and they'd be outraged. They look like the biggest fucking idiots in the entire world.

[TreasonousBastard]

45. Goebbels was probably not the inventor of "newspeak" but he was its greatest practitioner...

at least until Conway and some modern Republican mouthpieces expanded on the idea.

If you can't dazzle them with facts, baffle them with bullshit. --- W. C. Fields

[Grammy23]

47. It is a little late to be talking about seeking common ground.

It was her flawed candidate who spent months denigrating anyone and everyone using his megaphone on the stump to try to tell us who to hate next. Now she wants to rewrite history to explain how his real mission is to represent ALL of us and that we just need to all come together to sing Kumbaya??

She can forget about that. Her guy set the terms for his mission from Day One of his candidacy. Some of us have long memories and for those who don't we have lots of video tape to remind us of who Donald Trump really is. We also have years of his behavior and business practices to examine. And if he'd release his tax returns, we'd know even more. So there is that....

Face it, Kellyanne, there is NOTHING you can say or tweet that is going to change the facts. You are forever tied to the Narcissist-in-chief that you....yes YOU....helped inflict on this country. You are as bad as he is and for some of us, he is pretty low. You could have done the right thing and tried to prevent this megalomaniac being inflicted upon us. But you didn't, so don't think you can make it all right again. Too little, too late.

[Amimnoch]

50. If only I could rec a reply...

[TexasProgresive]

48. WHAT common ground. I see none for me and I'm sure Ms. Streep is unable to see much either.

This woman, CONway is just what her surname suggest a way to con. She is a barker for what may be the greatest con show on earth.

[DallasNE]

49. "Lock Her Up"

"Get 'em out of here". Is that their idea of mending fences?

When KellyAnn Conway prostitutes herself like this and on a daily basis it shows that she has no moral underpinnings so who would want to listen to her anyway. She is like fingernails on a chalkboard and always will be.

[spanone]

54. given mr trumps position on grabbing female genitals, i will never, ever support anything he does.

never. ever.

and that is only ONE of his positions that i diametrically opposed

[Raven123]

56. How can one find common ground

with someone who stands in shifting sands. How many times has Conway contradicted Trump? How many times he Trump contradicted himself. It would be unwise (euphemistically speaking) to look for any areas of agreement until PEOTUS becomes POTUS and makes specific legislative proposals that Dems to which Dems can respond.

[IntraPolitico]

59. I'm astounded

That trump still responds and reacts to everything like a child on his twitter. He's won? What more does he want? To continue to embarrass the USA and put even the moderate Americans to shame?

[muriel_volestrangler]

62. KellyAnn Wormtongue? "A bit much" is brilliant understatement, by the way

(and I don't, of course, see Trump as Theoden. He's Saruman, Wormtongue's true employer. Theoden in this metaphor is the media, perhaps?)

[yuiyoshida]

65. SO DOES THIS MEAN for the next four years we are going to have to listen

To stern remarks from KELLYANN CONWAY... THE Presidents so called MOUTH PIECE, Cause frankly I am already tired of her mouth and her puffed up attitude.

She's like some busybody who has to step in every five seconds, when TRUMP'S childish behavior is being called into question. Maybe she is Trump's Nanny.. she sure finds enough excuses for him.

[SunSeeker]

66. More "No, you are!" vomit from Conway.

[Solly Mack]

69. She can crawl up my ass find all the common ground there is between Trump and me.

I shit and Trump is shit.
