George Conway is trolling Donald Trump in his own backyard
George Conway is at it again. The conservative attorney turned never-Trumper is trolling the former president outside by way of a billboard outside of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. “We just put this new billboard up outside of Mar-a-Lago to welcome Trump home. It is running now through the election,” Conway’s super PAC “Anti-Psychopath PAC” posted to X.

"I feel like the important sort of data point [...] is that these are white Christians. This is a state that is overrepresented by white Christians that are going to participate in these caucuses, especially tonight...This is a hyper evangelical, white state.....What do they get out of supporting Donald Trump? Because he keeps losing. He keeps delivering losses and losses and losses.........It is religion.....And I think what we have to actually confront—and this is what the Democrats are going to face—is this is now what white evangelicalism is. It is Christian nationalism. That's the name of it, right?.......What they're saying is, 'We own this country, and everyone will bow down to us.'"

​“So much for Objective Journalism. Don't bother to look for it here--not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.”
― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72
“People sometimes imagine that just because they have access to so many newspapers, radio and TV channels, they will get an infinity of different opinions. Then they discover that things are just the opposite: the power of these loudspeakers only amplifies the opinion prevalent at a certain time, to the point where it covers any other opinion.”   ― Amin Maalouf, The First Century After Beatrice
​“Heartless gossips pose as professional press, they get a few quotes and run with the story like Seabiscuit to the finish line. They’re nothing more than conmen, salesmen, pitchmen, pompous men professing to be of public service—and they have the freedom to do so. There’s no price to pay.”
