Kellyanne Conway Panhandling For Own Salary Now


AND MONEY
AND MONEY

NEIGHBORHOOD ALERT: If a suspicious blonde lady comes up to you and begs to know if you can spare a dollar she can spend on drugs and hookers, she is lying. Her name is Kellyanne Conway, and she is panhandling because Donald Trump’s transition team ain’t got no money, and they need some to pay their own salaries. Do not give her money, as she will just throw it in the toilet by spending it on irresponsible things like “Sean Spicer” and “Hope Hicks” and “herself.” But it’s not just that! She has to go to the glamorous land of Buffalo this Thursday, where she will be the big exciting celebrity guest at a $5,000 per person fundraiser for the transition team, so Donald Trump’s check doesn’t bounce, which would mean she couldn’t buy eggs and private school for her kids in DC:

Conway will speak at a Thursday afternoon luncheon at the Westin Buffalo hotel. The $5000 per person event is intended to raise funds to cover the costs of Trump’s transition team, including their salaries. (Presidential transitions are funded by federal AND private funds. As CNN explains, they get to set up tax-exempt organizations and can accept, shockingly enough, up to $5,000 per donor. The point is UH OH GUESS THEY DONE BLEW THROUGH THEIR MONEY.)

“Mr. Trump held a fundraiser down in New York City a few weeks back and did raise some money, but they have – I would use the word – ‘struggled’ to raise the private funds needed to pay these individuals who are working on behalf of the taxpayers but not being paid by the government,” said Congressman Chris Collins, who has been an advocate for Trump since early in his presidential campaign.
. . . . .

Now, it should be noted that they’re not allowed to use leftover campaign funds to pay for the transition, but where’s all the money Trump allegedly has in his bank account, that he was “self-funding” his campaign with? Couldn’t he just move some money around so he can sign all his idiot minions’ paychecks, or alternately, decide his transition team is doing a terrible job (it is!) and refuse to pay everybody, since that is a thing Trump likes to do?

1. Trump's not paying her. Probably told her that b/c he made her a household name, that's bartering.

[Bucky]

2. High ranking, low-paid government official holding $5000 a plate luncheon. What could go wrong?

Conway and the Trumps still haven't figured out the classy way Republicans do it is to get paid on the back end.

[MineralMan]

3. Hey! Let's take up a collection and pay her to STFU.

I'll contribute for sure.

[niyad]

4. if we could believe that she would shut up and go away permanently.

[MineralMan]

5. Make it a condition of her accepting the money.

If she reneges on her agreement, she has to pay it back. Maybe we can beat Trump's offer and buy her nasal ass off.

[malthaussen]

6. The flaw in that plan...

... is that there is no reason to expect she'd keep her word to keep her words to herself. Unless, perhaps, she were placed on retainer with non-performance bonuses.

I see that Niyad had the same thought as I, at the same time.

7. Oh, a performance clause would handle that.

If the amount was high enough, she'd go for it. Her longevity with Trump's coterie is limited anyhow. She'll be expendable on January 20, anyhow, and Trump can just stiff her like he has so many others.

I am so sick of her whining and interrupting that I'd gladly contribute to not hear her voice again on the news.

[niyad]

8. great minds, and all that. . .

[malthaussen]

10. Well, I'll certainly stipulate that yours is pretty great. :)

[niyad]

14. awww, thanks. and I return the compliment!!

[cwydro]

9. Unfuckingbelievable.

Except that it is.

I hope to watch this house of cards come tumbling down.

11. Obam's trantion team

costs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_transition_of_Barack_Obama

Podesta estimated that the transition would employ approximately 450 people and have a budget of about $12 million: $5.2 million would be paid by the federal government and the remaining $6.8 million would be funded by private sources, with each contribution limited to $5,000. The transition project would not accept money from political action committees or federal lobbyists.[9]

Trumps:

Like incoming presidents before him, Trump and his team will reap a big public payoff to aid with their move into the White House, including $7 million in Congress-appropriated funds for transition and appointee costs.

snip

Many transition teams have started from scratch, opting for government-offered offices and telephones in downtown Washington. But Trump has used his own high-profile real estate, helping embolden an effort already aided by a private transition fund and the most public transition money ever offered to a president-elect.

Trump gets almost 2 million more in federal fuds and is broke. President elects also get free office space in DC. Trump is using his own offices in trump towers, I wonder how much he is charging for that. Love it that my tax dollars are lining the pockets of the trump family.

12. Well

from the looks of her, he can't pay for anymore plastic surgery. I think anything that could be fixed has already been done, sadly, she still looks like a hateful, racist, self - aggrandizing toad.

[angstlessk]

13. Okay, I'm outta line....but....

If her eye teeth were any longer she'd look like a vampire!
