Kellyanne Conway: Press Secretary Gave ‘Alternative Facts’ on Inauguration Crowd

[Eliseus]

Facts aren't really your strong suit, good luck with that, little fella. You are trying to state an opinion as a fact, so I don't think you know what a fact actually is.

Here is a great example of fake news for you lefties.

liberal economist Paul Krugman blogged that “Aaron Carroll of Indiana University tells us that in 2010, residents of the 10 states Gallup ranks as ‘most conservative’ received 21.2 percent of their income in government transfers, while the number for the most liberal states was only 17.1 percent.”

but when actually broken down, you see how the problem is blue areas in red states. Anyways, I could keep going with "facts" but derp derp derp I too stupid to see what is right in front of me.

[Eliseus]

Well there's Oprah... good luck.

Still waiting for you to fully answer the questions. I'm going to assume you just won't though and will chop it up to "x person just be dumb".

So, if Trump declares himself the 2nd coming of Christ would his followers call it an alternative fact and start worshiping him?

[s_bushido]

The problem is the press only views some being worthy of being held accountable. Ron Paul said it best:

Still ringing that "activist judges" bell because you can no longer deny homosexuals their civil rights? And then complaining about being called a (blank)-phobe? lol

They already worship him, the only thing that'd change would be the title.

[AndaliteBandit]

While you are at it somehow correlate it to justifying democrats highly praised welfare they live off.

[Paranoid Android]

This just opened up a whole new lane for some here in MMO-C. Now I will get to read about "alternative facts" as now being the truth.

Republicans love their welfare every bit as much as Democrats. they have their crop subsidies, corporate subsidies, Social Security, Medicare...

Let's not forget, that the blue states tend to pay more into the federal tax revenue than red states, meaning most red states are welfare states. Some of the worst offenders are the South (other than Texas).

Sorry, conservatives also love their welfare. That's because conservatives and Republicans in America aren't really conservative at all. Thanks for playing.

So presidential I don't even know what to do...

For the most part I want to unplug and crawl into a hole until this clown is impeached, but I feel obligated, as a member of humanity, to note that Trump, Spicer, Conway, et al, are just, without question, the worst humanity has to offer. The worst.

What are they really up to while they engage our "adversarial media" in a debate about demonstrably false claims for days? They're laying the groundwork to strip insurance from millions of Americans, hand untold wealth to the rich at the expense of the poor, and god only knows what else. The 1% aren't buying the US government any more. They actually ARE the US government at this point. I'd have thought they preferred to run things from the shadows, but apparently not.

I get that's it's irritating that they're saying loony shit, but it's all smoke and mirrors folks. The real shenanigans will be going down behind the scenes while Chuck Todd keeps shitting his pants every time the press secretary tells a petty lie. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate Todd and others calling this what it is. But this is classic Trump. Did we learn nothing from the campaign? It will be one absurdity after another. One sham press conference after another. One controversy or Russian dick-sucking after another. The media won't focus on any one thing long enough to sink him, because the bullshit tornado is too strong, and meanwhile his cabinet of half-wit, grossly unqualified billionaires will dismantle 6-8 decades of progress.

[Eliseus]

I already shutdown this misinformed mapping. Read my previous post.

[Torgent]

So, if Trump declares himself the 2nd coming of Christ would his followers call it an alternative fact and start worshiping him?

They would consider it standard fact and continue worshiping him.

haha why on earth would you fall back on your addition to the false notion that democracts are on welfare?

Democrats are fine living off welfare. Probably why you won't see them complaining as much and posting nonsense on forums like this. They scared Trump isn't going to allow them to do this anymore.

Admit you were wrong when it's so obvious.

[alexw]

Obviously the crowd size factoid is important enough to have a press secretary bring it up. I guess it somehow affects the economy, or our country.

Or, more likely, the reason this is so important to Trump's team is because of Trumps narcissistic need of approval, real or imagined. He likes his Id/ego stroked, and when things look bad, delusion is used to make it palatable for him.

This whole discussion is Kekspired.

Its the sort of thing you get in tin-pot dictatorships. So you would regularly have people like Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe or Saddam Hussein of Iraq do things like this.

Honestly, I'm not more worried about some sad lonely pro-trump shitposter on MMO-C than I am about the actual government of the U.S...

It was answered, and the other poster provided you a nice visual aid. Since I'm not a Democrat or a Republican, I get to enjoy mocking both. Both parties love their welfare. At least the Democrats admit it, Republicans are just hypocrites.

Getting back on the actual topic, let me know when yo are willing to admit that the Trump administration was lying, and got caught in that lie.

[Gray_Matter]

So much hub bub over a crowd size. People are fucking wacky.

It's not crowd sizes that concern me. It's the president and his spokespeople lying. Who cares about the crowd sizes. It's just a fun titbit. The lying is far more concerning. Was he lying about protecting the constitution when he took the oath of office? He is now in a position where what he says has a huge impact, not just in the USA, but around the world.

Completely wrong. A (keyword A) Republican may like welfare. REPUBLICANS as a whole aren't on welfare as much as democrats, which was the original point when you implied more republicans are on welfare, when in fact they aren't.

If Trump could have forced people to attend. I would bet money he would round people up.

Hey that looks kinda familiar..


EDIT: Holy shit, Texas is a donor state? Did not see that coming.
