It took several weeks for the US media to stop calling it Coronavirus and actually start calling it by its real name. When Canadian media started using Covid-19, they always explained how it got its name.

Conway says anything to deflect away from criticism of her boss. Yes, that's what she's paid to do, but it's obvious she lacks both morals and a conscience.

But seriously, she’s supposed to be running for office I think. Maybe she’ll do a stint with Dancing with Stars. At least I always had the impression Sean Spicer was uncomfortable with lying. Didn’t stop him though.

It's a Trumpian trait to be both ignorant and malicious and she learned from The Master, at the same time that she threw away her soul and conscience.

Wed Apr 15, 2020, 02:09 PM
Apr 2020

these sex on the wrong brain shitheads are driven by fear of uncertainty and learn to deny reality and shut off imagination to enable the appropriate level of certitude for their position on the asskissing authoritarian pyramid

republican MO

- shift blame to others - if you can, shift blame to democrats and or brown people and foreigners (for eg. obama raised taxes so PPE manufacturing went foreign..... limbaugh, navaro said similar)
- she knows the base are idiots and or capable of massive denial and hypocrisy so lie all you want when you make the excuse for trump stupidity and corruption
- coordinate the messaging with limbaugh and hannity to reinforce it. she can start it (simple meme - "you'd think the WHO would know everything from previous covid by now and would have it under control" or may be repeating but limbaugh and the people/think tanks here and in russia are so good at hypocrisy and excuse-making his show can do it on it's own, spread it to fox, other rw media, including blowhards on 1500 radio stations
- feeds into previous limbaaugh etc memes that this is just another flu
- assumes that all covids are the same - delivered with certitude - therefore removing the scary uncertainty for the certainty addicted sex-on-the-wrong-brain authoritarians

So, their audience is accustomed to being lied to and may even prefer it. It's their dopamine.

Only now, it's turned deadly, it's not funny anymore. At least, not for the rest of us who have to deal with the reality of burying family members.

Conservatism is a failure.

Recently, some wingnut cited Dr. Drew in a comment she made on a Facebook post I was commenting on. I replied to her comment with a picture of a duck saying "Quack". She was quite irate in response. I guess I should have been glad that she at least got the reference.

it's not common knowledge but Kellyanne is a habitual liar so it's likely option 2. They want to discredit the WHO.

I didn't know it until my own company briefed us when we started our response and work from home policy.

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity

if you've ever worked with salespeople, you've probably met the kind of person who's constantly grabbing at hooks or pitches based on an impulsive ignorance.

They are tiresome. I am tired of the incompetence

Rush Limbaugh started this nonsense a few weeks ago. I was wondering when Kellyanne would come slithering out of her hole. I guess she shed her old skin and is in search of some prey. Of all the people I will be happy to see go away in November she is top 3 on that list.

the continuum.

As this crisis deepens, I seen even more clearly that Trump and the rest of his administration are actively trying to pull down this republic. Of course, we all saw that before, I know, but it is becoming apparent to lower-information Americans.

The guy just does not care.
