I can't imagine people like them having dinner together.

Yeah, I remember the great feet-on-couch scandal!

Am I too plodding and serious about US politics? Instead of distractors about her brother or husband, how about judging her by the way she did her job? Paid for at the expense of the American people, she consistently lied to them: https://www.politifact.com/factcheck...y&ruling=false

She coined the phrase "alternative facts", with which she tried to legitimize her toxic mix of deceitful and ignorant pronouncements. Her loyalty to Trump extended to breaking the Hatch Act by promoting Ivanka Trump products while speaking as a government employee.
For those reasons, I like her so little that I find it difficult to laugh off her conduct, tbh.

Give Kelly Ann Conway enough money and she'll spin for you too.

I think her classic moment was early on in the Covid crisis when she asked a reporter if she was a doctor (as if Kelly Ann was or something)

This ridiculous comment was, I assume, based on ignorance. As such, it's less reprehensible than Kellyanne Conartist's more deliberate efforts to divorce political debate from reality.

I think my favourite quote of hers was to the effect that "Covid will not enter the USA". Right. How's that workin' out for ya Kelly-Ann? Didn't she get it too, that Rose Garden thing? Wasn't she one of the ones infected? Stupid bitch.

Didn't he invent being arrested in SA as an anti-apartheid warrior at one point during the campaign? It's not that he's trying to be deceitful but his mind's gone to $hit long ago.

Both sides are just like your presidents are brain mush but it's like nobody cares if presidents are brain mush so long as they tick the right boxes.

Any old-timer's brain can get muddled, but I think Biden still keeps a grasp on what's going on:-

He recognises that climate change is a serious problem. He understands election results and vaccine science. He's not happy that the Supreme Court has just unleashed a system of religious anti-abortion vigilantism for Texas. I'm also confident that he won't start boasting that he's fallen in love with Kim Jung Un.

Biden might slip up on details and stats sometimes, but his speeches convey rational ideas and follow normal syntax. Given the previous guy's performance on the job, that's pretty good imo.

Your guy, assuming you're talking about The Big Orange One, does not recognise or subscribe to reality. The Current Guy does. Therein lies a massive, world-shaking difference.
