Kellyanne Conway knows (but cannot prove) Obama wiretapped the microwaves

As I keep saying, Democrats really need to lean in to Emperor Baby Fists’ claims that President Obama wiretapped him throughout the election. For one, I bet some law enforcement agency and/or national security apparatus did catch Donald Trump on a wire at some point, although it was clearly not a situation where Barack Obama personally ordered a wiretap on Trump Tower. Secondly, I believe that once Dems and Republicans can get together on the “need” to further investigate Baby Fists’ claims, the dominos will begin to fall. There are ongoing investigations into the Trump campaign’s Russian ties, without a doubt. So… why not a bipartisan look into just what cards the DOJ, NSA, CIA and FBI are holding?

Still, that’s not going to happen right now. At the moment, Baby Fists is still playing his games and thinking that he’s so clever and he’s successfully hoodwinking the entire country by making outrageous claims with zero evidence. His people, like Kellyanne Conway, believe they can do it too. Conway told CNN on Sunday that she believes Obama wiretapped the Trump Tower microwaves. Or something.

The White House is offering yet another wrinkle in its attempt to support President Trump’s allegation — unfounded, so far — that his campaign headquarters in Manhattan was wiretapped by the Obama administration. The latest comes from Trump’s senior counselor Kellyanne Conway. She says the “surveillance” may be broader than even Trump suggested.

In a wide-ranging interview Sunday at her home in Alpine, where she lives with her husband — who was a possible nominee for U.S. solicitor general — and their four children, Conway, who managed Trump’s presidential campaign before taking the job as one of the president’s closest advisers, suggested that the alleged monitoring of activities at Trump’s campaign headquarters at Trump Tower in Manhattan may have involved far more than wiretapping.

“What I can say is there are many ways to surveil each other,” Conway said as the Trump presidency marked its 50th day in office during the weekend. “You can surveil someone through their phones, certainly through their television sets — any number of ways.” Conway went on to say that the monitoring could be done with “microwaves that turn into cameras,” adding: “We know this is a fact of modern life.”

Sure, let’s go with that. Obama wiretapped all of the microwaves in Trump Tower and turned them into cameras, for sure. We need a full investigation into that, and if the investigation ends with the impeachment of a deranged fascist, so be it! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Obviously, Conway’s comments caused a lot of WTFs and “????” So Conway did her favorite thing in the world – she got to do even more interviews! I’m including a clip from ABC News.

And here’s Conway telling Chris Cuomo “I’m not Inspector Gadget,” which is maybe my favorite quote from this entire administration. PROVE YOU ARE NOT INSPECTOR GADGET.

    We need to stop giving these people airwaves (bugged airwaves, apparently).

      My expresso machine made a question mark in my latte foam this A.M!

    • Megan says:

      As a Fembot, I assume she is at least related to Inspector Gadget.

    • Birdix says:

      Why can’t I go into the office and spew nonsense and then act completely irritated when anyone tries to clarify wth I meant? Why can’t we all really? It’s madness.

  2. Dtab says:

    Oh please spare me….I cant be dealing with her anymore. Lets do what MSNBC done and ignore her completely please

    • cathy says:

      I dislike this woman so completely. I have never felt such contempt for anyone. Maybe because she’s a woman? I have higher expectations for her? For us as women? Such a liar.

      • smith says:

        Yes. I physically feel the hate I have for this person.

        I have such a great tweet on deck for her eventual (hopeful) downfall.

      • ichsi says:

        @cathy THIS!! I hate them all, but she really takes the second place far ahead of everyone else because of how she can do this to her own gender! (Number one is the bloated scrotum Bannon. I pray for someone to go GWTDT on him all the time)

  3. SusanneToo says:

    I wish I could make a joke about this but this entire sh*tshow is a big, sick joke on us. I loathe these people. I want all of them gone and I don’t care how that is accomplished,

    • Luca76 says:

      I don’t find it funny eventhough I understand that it is. ITs just to horrifying to watch what’s happening I need this country.

    • Esmom says:

      I was enjoying the jokes for a while but I’m at point where even my admiration for the mockery doesn’t outweigh my increasing distress at our this administration. People are speculating that genocide is on the agenda, ffs. I’m sick.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      The more stupidity the Trump Administration commits to public record, the more future generations will look back on us and say “WTF”?

      • brincalhona says:

        I love your optimism that there will be future generations. That’s the spirit!

    • Original T.C. says:

      I never found it funny because it’s a smear on Obama’s reputation and implies he is a criminal who committed a felony. It was offensive enough for Obama’s people to break their silence and release a statement from him. In a Democratic system you just don’t accuse your predecessor of crimes, that’s what dictators do. I don’t find it any different than Trump’s Birther claims that Obama is a foreigner and not a US citizen.

      I’ve noticed that Black reporters have particularly been more upset about this charge against Obama than White reporters. I think it’s because they are familiar with Black men being considered criminals with no evidence. And picking on the most upstanding president who made sure everything he did followed the law is even worse. Most of the White TV media (with the exception of CNN) miss the racism behind Trump’s statement.

      • sauvage says:

        I want Obama to sue. I want rich people with their heart in the right place to come together and create a legal fund for EVERYONE who has been smeared by this government and its cronies so far. I want there to be f***ing consequences to such outrageous actions.

  4. HappyMom says:

    They need to stop interviewing her. She’s a liar and totally not credible.

    • Beth says:

      I thought she wasn’t going to do any more interviews because she was causing so many problems during them

      • Lama Bean says:

        I suspect this was the trial balloon. They are running out of people to put on TV. Stephen Miller is creepy af, Pumpkin Spice can barely hold it together for a press briefing, Donny has been scared silent lately. AJ Delgado is off having her married coworker’s baby. Only other person left is Reince.

      • Christin says:

        AJ rudely screeched through an interview (walking off set) last fall that made KAC appear delightful by comparison. I wondered what happened to her.

    • Original T.C. says:

      @Lamabean

      +100000
      She is the best liar and deflector on the Trump team that’s why Trump likes her so much. In this clip I felt so bad for the Today Show hosts as they try to get her to give a straight answer as to why Trump called the jobs report fake with Obama in office but it’s real with him in office.

      She is a master at changing the topic and avoiding the question over and over. I wish they would just say “ok so you keep changing the topic to avoid giving an answer. Thanks anyway” https://youtu.be/nLEBVrYwixI

  5. Jayna says:

    You can’t make these jokers up, can you? It’s like I’m watching a parody of this administration, because who would ever believe the crap that comes out of their mouths as spokespeople for the POTUS, or especially what comes out of Trump’s mouth on twitter or anywhere.

    • Christin says:

      The parodies aren’t as funny anymore, because this is sickening. It seems unreal.

  6. nemera34 says:

    I appreciate that Mike Kelly went on TV and defended himself against Kellyanne trying to divert her dumb comments and blame the interviewer. He asked her specifically about wiretapping Trump tower and not a general question about wiretapping capabilities. She is an idiot.
    Trump sent her out to bring up the fact that there are other ways to surveil each other. She did it because Trump wanted her to. Because instead of talking with his people in National Security he reads Right Wing outlets and conspiracy theories. He read that report that she brought up about surveillance methods and spoke on it because that is what Trump wants to use to defend his LIE about Obama. He LIED.. got CAUGHT…and is trying to find a way to weasel his way out. And we can now see the direction they will take when they can’t offer PROOF today. Because there is not Proof.. Just a fool behind a twitter account

    A bunch if lying crooks. And this nation is going to suffer for the Idiocy of the people that voted for these fools with no moral or ethical lines.

  7. Shambles says:

    So transparent, the lot of them.

    She’s giving the same answer Sessions tried to give to cover his evil house elf ass after he perjured himself to congress. “I misunderstood the question.”

    I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that they all have a weekly meeting to decide on which deflections and buzzwords and pivots to use this week.

    Her time-out did nothing. She’s just as full of sh!t as she always was.

  8. minx says:

    Despicable liars.

  9. QQ says:

    Although The Thirst for attention on this Dusty Ass forest witch lady is out of control its easily surpassed by a country mile by her seemingly innate ability to professionally lie, which in and of itself its small potatoes to that ridiculous sexy baby voice she puts on

    • Bootsie says:

      Thank you! The voice has ALWAYS particularly irritated me (along with everything else about her) I think she has to use it to appear as nonthreatening as possible to the misogynists she works with.

  10. Beth says:

    They are getting more pathetic and desperate every day. Somebody really needs to stop them from telling these dumbass stories. The world is laughing at us more and louder everytime Trump and his people open their mouths

  11. Eric says:

    LIARS! All of them. Pence lied about not knowing Flynn had to register as a foreign agent. Cummings informed you Pence. On Nov 18 ffs. Flynn lied. Sessions lied under oath. Mnuchin lied about destroying families in the housing bust. DeVos lied about everything she said.

    Nice job Emperor Zero, Diaper Bigly, Orange Julius Caesar, Pol Pot-belly, Genghis Con.

    Sad.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      The details can be overwhelming, but you are right. Consistent lying is such a troubling and persistent trait of ANYONE that is in the Administration.

  12. robyn says:

    Divert. Divert. Divert. Yes … we all know cameras can be installed anywhere … even up Kellyanne’s kazoo. I’m guessing that the one Trump should be most concerned about is the one Russians could have used a while back to set him up for blackmail.

    • PunkyMomma says:

      Yup, yup, yup. Distraction is the name of the game, here. Every time I read, see or hear of this administrations outrageous attempts at distraction from the Russian investigation, I now shout “squirrel”!

      I wouldn’t mind a reappearance of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Hour – it’d probably do more to expose the truth regarding crimes committed by Trump et al than a million news shows 24/7. (Yes, the White House address is now 1600 Pottsylvania Avenue NW.)

    • Original T.C. says:

      This time it really is about his lie about Obama. The WhiteHouse press having been reporting that Trump as all of a sudden become press shy because he is afraid of being asked questions regarding proof of Obama spying on him. He kept his mouth zipped for once and keep the press far away when he went to get votes for his Heathcare bill.

      None of his people are willing anymore to get on TV to defend his false charges against Obama because as McCain said this weekend “it’s put up or shut up time”.

      • swak says:

        DM has an article on Spicer stating that Trump didn’t specifically mean wire tapping (although those were the words Trump used) but meant “a whole host of surveillance types”. #alternatefacts, y’all!

  13. Marty says:

    I can’t belive she’s only 50, I swear with every lie she tells the more she starts to look like a crypt keeper.

  14. Sam says:

    I know I’m a millionaire but I can’t prove that the money exists….that’s what I’m going to go around telling people.

    • Claudia Remm says:

      This is brilliant. And I’m a millionaire as well, I just discovered that. 😀 😀 😀

  15. Abbess Tansy says:

    The media needs to take a harder line on who to interview and what to publish from this ridiculous administration. Stop giving this pathological lying trick a vehicle to impart her stupid but potentially dangerous brand of alternative facts. Give her a broom to match her witchy appearance and show her where to fly on out of the white house and therefore, out of relevance.

  16. Lady A says:

    His paranoia screams early dementia to me.

  17. Beatrice says:

    Kellyanne is a puppet. Even she must cringe at some of the words that come out of her mouth. Shame on these supposedly reputable news organizations for continuing to give her air time! Viewers and listeners deserve (and should demand) better.

  18. applepie says:

    This feels like the kids got loose with the dressing up box. It’s not even funny anymore. I’ve just realised why she annoys me so much. That photo of her with legs up on the couch in WH. She really let us ladies down. All the men folk were standing formally and she was legs akimbo all casual. Silly cow.

  19. jerkface says:

    Funny cause she looks like a Barbie that has spent time in a microwave. So maybe she knows something from that experience?

      • jerkface says:

        You dont think the “silly cow” has a melting face?
        I think if you threw a bucket of water on her she’d go full wicked witch of the west and sizzle into a puddle. I’m actually surprised she’s been able to hide the flying monkeys this whole time.

      • applepie says:

        @jerkface, it means a snigger! All I can think of now is ‘I’m melting’ !!

  20. Anni says:

    OMG, Kellyanne, you are paranoid delusional and have the brains of a crowbar!

    Sadly, I DO have evidence to back up my statement (see: any tv appearance you have ever done.)

  21. Beth says:

    When I was reading about this on Huffington Post, I had tears running down my face from laughing so hard at the tweets they showed . This lady is a little crazy

  22. Deeanna says:

    What’s up with Kellyanne being interviewed at her home nowadays? Is this to soften her image somehow? It also appears she may have had a professional deep conditioning treatment to the hair? Hmmm…

    It is painful to watch this ludicrous woman doing her pivoting and spinning at this point. They are only interviewing her because they have to – there is no one else being put out to speak for the White House. The fact that she is still being put out there just goes to show how absolutely challenged the Trump administration is for spokespeople. A week ago it was going to be the cabinet Secretaries who were going to be speaking for the administration. That did not seem to work out, did it?

    Re: The Kellyanne breathy, baby voice. Guess who else talked like that? Jacqueline Kennedy. Bigtime. It was enough to gag you.

  24. Anare says:

    Agent Orange sent his Toadies out to say stupid crap on tv so we would not notice the OMB report saying that millions of people will lose health insurance if the GOP passes their horrible healthcare act. Do not laugh at the clowns while your pockets get picked. Focus people!

  25. sauvage says:

    Microwaves come with built-in cameras, obviously. As Kellyanne Conway so eloquently put it: “We know this is an alternative fact of modern life.”

    Damn, the CIA knows about that time I stunk up the office with my fishsticks.
