Her whole job is to take whatever delusional bullshit trumps excretes, and try to give it a crust of plausibility. And she’s not even good at that- microwave cameras and alternative facts. Jesus Christ! She deserves whatever scorn and contempt she gets. ---

FTR, as a guy whose seen more attractive decades, if she were even a wee bit nicer her physical nonconformances would wash away entirely. Her boss shows a more open mind than I would ever expect, unless he thinks she’s a man. ---

Y’know, as a proud feminist, I should be all indignant about a thread judging Conway by her looks. But it’s obvious that she puts a lot of effort into looking like that, so she deserves whatever derision she gets by it. In a few more years, she’ll be Baby Jane Hudson. “_I’ve written a letter to Donald…_” ---

Conway looks OK for a woman in her 50s. Not good, but not particularly bad either. Sorry if I’m spoiling the fun. It’s interesting studying her interview style. Yes, she’s had some embarrassing missteps (bowling green, alternative facts etc) but she’s defending the indefensible 24/7. She’s the queen of deflecting questions. If Spicer was on TV as much as she is, we’d all save time and just glue our palms to our foreheads. > [@Monty](#): > > Let’s take the Trump’s birtherism. Without any evidence whatsoever, Trump kept claiming that President Obama was not born in America. Finally, as another poster (and, sorry, I’m too lazy at the moment to find that post) pointed out, Trump said that Obama was born in America. He offered no explanation or evidence which served to change his mind. So he was either lying when he was out touting the birtherism, he was lying when he announced that he now accepts Obama was born in America, or he simply never had an actual opinion on the issue one way or the other because facts simply do not matter to him. > > His flacks, such as Conway, are supporting him before and after this evidence-free mind-changing. To them, just like to Trump, facts mean nothing. All that counts is how to con the most people, or at least con the right number of people in the right geographic distribution. You forgot the part where he blamed it all on Hillary. Shocking both for his scruple-less-ness and that it worked (or at least didn’t put whole american public against him). ---

And she’s not even good at that- microwave cameras and alternative facts. Jesus Christ! She deserves whatever scorn and contempt she gets. Right. She could look like a supermodel, for all I care. Her shameless, opportunistic, utterly craven lack of principles or intellectual honesty makes her one of most odious creatures to walk on the face of the planet. Yes–her job is to deodorize the stench of trump’s constant effusion of bullshit, but the only fragrance she has is _eau de horseshit_. The White House has become just one big political pigsty. ---

The White House has become just one big political pigsty. This is more or less the point I was trying to make. She will say anything on behalf of her employer. It doesn’t matter what they (Trump et al) believe. She doesn’t care. She is the queen of spin. She is actually very, very good at her job, despite the “Bowling Green” and microwave type slips. I don’t think Trump would have made it through the election without her. She’s the one that faced the press. He certainly didn’t. Is she going to say something ridiculous again? You betcha. Look who she’s sweeping up behind. She is still utterly contemptible. ---

True. What’s on the outside of her head is nothing compared to the ugliness inside. ---

> [@Mijin](#): > > Conway looks OK for a woman in her 50s. Not good, but not particularly bad either. > Sorry if I’m spoiling the fun. Here’s the thing. Many of us tend to see people as a merged blend of their physical appearance and their inner character, kind of mushed together and not clearly distinguishable. At least I do. And that’s what makes Conway so uniquely hideous. On an attractiveness scale of 1-10, her score is “irredeemably repulsive” from any possible perspective that I can summon. What I’m saying is, the salt vampire comparison is too kind. The idea that such a person could have an attractive inner character – could be insightful, thoughtful, and kind – is a non-starter because such a person wouldn’t have that vacant hypocritical plastered-on grin or decorate herself in such a repulsive way, or be such a shameless opportunist or incorrigible liar. It’s all a package. And the package looks hideously reptilian. ---

> [@The\_Librarian](#): > > 1. Kellyanne Conway is a repulsive human being. > I just believe we should ridicule her for the shitty lies she sprouts, not for her looks. The link I gave earlier in the thread pretty much says it all in terms of her lack of ethics, honesty, integrity, or veracity of anything that comes out of her mouth. But I don’t think that it’s sexist or superficial to go after her haggard appearance which is no doubt at least partly the result of internalizing the guilt. If she were beautiful on the inside I doubt too many would enjoy attacking her appearance. Such as it is though… in the right light she kind of resembles [Bill Clinton in drag](http://www.theblaze.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Conway-press-falsehood-1920-1280x720.jpg). ---

As much scorn and ridicule that Kellyanne and Sean Spicer get thrown at them, they seem to think unswerving loyalty to Trump will somehow benefit them. How does Trump manage to find such willing stooges? Money? Prestige? Ability to attract the willingly stupid? ---

People have been mocking the worthless piece of shit Republicans and Nazis cheer for because of his looks (the ridiculous hair, the tiny hands, the vanity tan, his poor dress sense) for months with no problem, I don’t see why mocking the scum who work for him in a similar manner is any different. ---
