> [@Alessan](#): > > It’s just so lame and desperate, that’s all, especially as you keep on trying to sell it. The reek of flop sweat is stinking up the joint. I have now learned the phrase flop sweat. Yes it is lame and desperate, like the person who sadly makes up a nickname for himself and tries to pretend that anyone but him actually uses this faked nickname or thinks it is cool, not in fact sad and desperate. ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > Eric has the same ‘dumb as a post’ look behind his eyes as his dad. Seems like stupidity is genetically dominant in the Trump family.

Could you please stop hijacking this thread with your stupid, intolerant screeds against me? This thread is about Kellyanne Conway and what an idiot and loathsome person she is. Stop hijacking it. No one reading this thread wants to read about what you think of me. You’re ruining a perfectly good Pit thread. ---

You should just admit that you’re a troll at heart but either too chickenshit or too dependent on the SDMB to do it right and get yourself banned. At least Shodan is honest about having that personality flaw. ---

Jot me down as one who generally agrees with what you say and shares your sensibilities and… doesn’t really give a shit about the quarry thing. I mean, it’s lame as hell but we all have to make allowances, right ? And hey, fair’s fair, if \*\*Shodan \*\*can get away with his covert “fuck you” signature, your bullshit is… not fine at all, but tolerable ? I suppose ? ---

Ricky Retardo? No, not by a long shot. It takes a supple, nimble and quick mind to perform the mental gymnastics that she does, as well as a corrupt and depraved disdain for truth. ---

She’s not talking to you or me, **Elvish**. She doesn’t have the least concern for our opinion. She imitates the tone and structure of a plausible argument for the uncritical ear. By comparison, the much-maligned Spicer has no such gifts, he “struts and frets his hour on the stage”. He makes me laugh, KellyAnne makes me gasp in horror. ---

Thinking about it, Kellyanne should have been Press Secretary and Spicey should have been the talking head going to battle on all the shows, with Sarah providing backup and cleanup for both. Yet another example of how horrible Trump is at both hiring and firing decisions, which ironically, was​ supposed to be the only real relevant skill and experience he had.
