Friends say the Conways are staying together for their children, although the couple is not always in the same city. Mr. Conway spent chunks of time last year in New York before leaving his firm, while Ms. Conway remained in Washington, where the Trump crowd has largely blackballed her husband.

It had been hard to judge these two given the context that we have seen for decades with James Carville and his notorious wife Mary Matlin. But in the former case, they claim to literally "leave their politics at the door" when at home, where these two are truly in an ongoing, very public spat.
And speaking about him, here is what he tweeted earlier today -

Here's Kellyanne Conway (covid-19+) with Attorney General Bill Barr at the tail end of the White House "super spreader" event (attended by several others who've also tested positive, including 2 U.S. senators)

Now, I want to hear that Ivanka, jr, and goofy all get it as well. They have perpetuated this "big hoax" crap so that thousands died needlessly because they swallowed this dumb shit and his minions of delusional traitors right down the shit hole.
I don't want any of them die. I DO want them suffer the worst symptoms and have a lifetime of lingering symptoms for the rest of their pathetic lives. Such asshole fools.
