DELUSIONAL: How in the world did the WH chief of staff make THIS claim with a straight face?

In the midst of lavishing praise on his boss and the administration, White House chief of staff Denis McDonough said he is so proud that the Obama administration has been “historically free of scandal.”

.@Denis44 McDonough says the thing he's most proud of is that Obama is ‘historically free of scandal’ #CNNsotu https://t.co/Mj6Tc5xJiF— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) January 15, 2017

It’s not delusional. It’s a standard misdirection play.

Keeping a straight face while delivering a whopper is precisely what they’re paid to do.

Baghdad Bob could do it for Saddam Hussein for years, and never a break in the narrative.

So Denis could do the same for our Hussein....

It is hard to imagine the alternate universe in which this logic and reasoning is explained.

When I first heard the “scandal free” statement I thought of this old Soviet joke:

The Parade:

Ghengis Kahn, Ceaser and Napolean are staring down on the May Day parade in front of the Kremlin as it passes by. Gesturing at the rocket launchers, Khan says, “With fire arrows like that, all of Asia would have been mine.” Ceasar looks at the tanks and says, “With chariots like that, I could have conquered all of Europe.” Napolean takes one look at the newspaper rack where a copy of Tass is on display and says, “With that, no one would ever have found out about Waterloo.”

They define scandal as consisting of sexual or financial scandal. When you elect a committed marxist, they don’t care about money—they are working toward revolution. Obama’s scandal is trashing the constitution and creating an even more autocratic country. The number of illegal actions is in the tens of thousands, but they consist of all the executive actions, treasons and violations of the oath that occurred in his administration.

Goebbels had Hitler tell lies. And vice-versa.

BIG lies.

Preemptive Prevarication. They are scared to death of what may be revealed.

The questions at the ‘press conferecnes’ were submitted ahead of time, approved/rewritten by the WH, and then loaded into the teleprompter. That’s how it worked.

Trump is right to end the monopoly on the press room to the dead and dying media. Breitbart, Jim from here. Open the people’s house open to the people.

what they mean is that there were no reports of O’Bunghole jamming his ding dong in any interns female or otherwise. Not any of the other scandals that are not scandals because the media chose not to go poo flinging bazonkazoids about them, unlike now where everything trump does thinks or sais will be parsed to the nth degree for even the slightest wiff of scandal in which the press will scream and hyperventilate “scandal scandal scandal”. Thus even at the end if trump boffs no interns, sells no weapons to mexicans, none of his people get caught drinking and whoring in panama, even if in reality he or anybody associated with him commits not one questionable act, even if every scandal is provably fake, the media will declare this the most scandal ridden in history. They already have

Maybe they are using a different definition for the word scandal. No one (other than Blagovitch) has been sent to jail, therefore, there were no scandals!”

Yes a very important one.

And what scandals that were completely covered up that we do not know about?

Yes and acting like they are speaking the truth is truly a demonic tactic.
