When someone introduces them self with “I promise I will never lie to you”, you know they are planing to lie their ass off.

I wouldn't brief him either 🤔

PutinGOP

President Bush would never allow this to happen

what can make people turns their eyes from this racism thingy.. oh yeah Taliban! + Russia.. lets make people hate muslims again!

I think it’s time that the crooks hand back our country.

Oooooops she lied again

You're no better than Stormy

On the hands of the United States is the blood of 10 thousand Soviet soldiers who were killed by the Taliban taught by American instructors from weapons supplied by the United States

PressSec Yes my president can’t read and can’t hear so Father forgive him for he know not what he’s doing.

What’s darn laughable is despite a lifetime of criminal living experience, the Trump Crime Syndicate Gang is consistently amateurish coming to a consensus on which storyline to stick to after each crime episode and instead predictably unravels into Prisoner’s Dilemma.

So she lied?

What else hasn’t he read in those daily briefs?

Why wasn’t he briefed? That’s also a huge fucking problem. “Well nobody told me homework was due today!”

Kayleigh is here to tell lies and collect a paycheck. And she just cashed the check.

Look how big her nose just keeps growing

This will be the biggest test of whether LindseyGrahamSC has sold his soul to Donald Trump. Pre-Trump Lindsey would be going ape-shiz crazy.

Another 45 BIMBO!!

I can't listen to her. Also, I can't stand seeing crosses hanging from lying necks. So many 'Christians' who have no idea what Christianity is.

Kayleigh defends him, says he made a joke. Then he turns around and says 'I don't kid.' She's trying to save him and he refuses to let her.

LIAR

And the snarky “they should hand back their Pulitzers” was supppsed to be an iconic burn? 😂

Absolute bull shit. Not doing there jobs.

🤔

Also, mainstream medias were bunch of morons...

IT'S THEIR JOB TO KNOW!!!!!

Her lips are moving so yes she’s lying

McEnany❤️

So, no one knew anything. Fine. That’s normal.

Plan to c, she a LIER' SHE a, Fake, just like her eye lashes, she goes to work knowing she will have to LIE, for TRUMP!😥☠💔☠🙉🙈🙊☠🗣😷🐍😷😷😷😷😷♥️

Does anyone believe anything Trump says anymore? After 3-1/2 years, we know he and his administration just lie.

Nope.

so this was just “made up”? Honey I don’t think so

Stupid barbie blonde who should have no business speaking about serious and complex national security issues.

Best to keep your head down when you have to lie more than you breathe as a job lol

Doesn't that cross burn her flesh?

The consensus is Kelly is a Karen.

And it turns out that’s a lie. How shocking.

An 8 year old child just told me that what Kayleigh said ,means that our intelligence agencies have not found any evidence that a Russian bounty exist. If it’s over your head just put it on the shelf.🤔

Goodness, finally some actual reporting from . Congratulations.

WH: We know that the intelligence agencies could not agree on what they did not tell us!

I find it hard to believe that Trump was never informed by Putin on his daily off the record calls.

If they were not then there is a serious communication problem

brianlilley If they weren’t briefed on it, that’s fine. But who’s getting fired for not telling them? Also, what is realDonaldTrump going to do about it NOW? He praises military, but is literally now allowing a slaughter-for-profit situation to continue. Do something, anything about it.

These people are good enough to plough confusion in the mind of people and thereby to reap what the desired intent out of it. Be cautious of these words from mad people.

Unreal. Hand back your podium. This is government not private business. Massive fail if he really “wasn’t briefed”, either way walks like a duck... this while “story”.

Every time she lies, her nose gets more crooked

brianlilley wow …. put some fkn clothes on

Ignorance is bliss, of course. Trump never knows about anything or anyone that’s damning to him. Ever.

Trump hired these dumb blondes?

Here for liberals screaming RuSsIa.

Why listen to anything she says?

Her body language says that she can’t look people in the eye when lying about something so horrific

She new sex toy

so why weren't they briefed? that's not a good thing either. and it begs the question, NOW THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY GONNA DO ABOUT IT?!?

KoolAid pitcher in the back. Flavor: orange as usual. presssec Gaslighting briefing

I have a feeling that kayleighmcenany is sleeping with realDonaldTrump in the bunker. The way they both lie their faces off makes them a perfect couple!

The intelligence is not verified. In other words it is fake news. In other words Russians didn't pay Taliban to kill U.S. troops. It remains so until evidence is provided to the contrary.

The only thing she didn’t read from the prepared docs, was her last sentence. She so smart and proud of that comment. Sssllllllloooooow clap.

So much lying from the gal who promised she never would...

More lies!

Didn't she said 'she wouldn't lie'....

What is she wearing? She looks highly unprofessional.

Kayleigh McEnany lies TheyLieYouDie PutinsGOP video from MeidasTouch

She likes to be grabbed by the shoulders when getting slammed doggie style....

Lock Her UP

Usual FAKE NEWS from the corrupt tRump.

'there was 'no consensus in the intelligence community on these allegations' This is how intel works, there is rarely complete consensus and that and the credibility/reliabilty of information is factored into reports. McEnany and Trump are lying.

What sorority is this?

We will wait and see what secret memos or recorded calls there are to prove or disprove these claims.

Lies, lies, and more lies. But what do you expect from the hired lier acting for the lier in Chief

She is learning so well from trump.

The invasion of Iraq was launched without consensus among intelligence agencies. Bonespurs doesn’t have the attention span to read intelligence briefings

It's so hard for her to lie

brianlilley

You look like you are going to the beach.

The birther guy needs intelligence community consensus before he’ll criticize Putin. 😃

Another 'russian meddling' FakeNews , 5 months before the elections.

Well if she says it must be true!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You all are pizdabols

Good save.

From the woman who said she would never lie, could not meet eyes and left at thevspeed of light

Oh okay, they don't know anything. Amazing leadership.

I’m back using my ISS, good luck now

So basically they find out about intelligence information from the NY Times? Great, dynamic duo those two.

Some dumb, not all are dumb. Some of us weren't born yesterday.

BULLSHIT

And she knows this how? Because that’s what the liars told her to say.

Trump will admit in a couple of days that he was briefed - hence the 'no consensus in the intelligence community' bollocks.

blablaTrump morebsfromthewhitehouse

we need presidents that know things like this, not incompetent ones that dont give a shit

Russia Russia always Russia

PrevaricatorBarbie PutinsGOP

And yet, US intelligence went on to brief their UK allies.

She's no C J Cregg, is she?

I know I shouldn’t, but I like her

Horrible humans Don't give one fuck about this country

Protect statues, but let troops get murdered. The president is more worried about playing golf all weekend. Instead of being a leader, he lies to the people. He doesn’t care about the 127000 plus dead Americans, that he could have saved . He’s a racist. He needs to be removed.

So the President is treated like a mushroom, keep him in the dark & feed him on shit.

once upon a time there was a lump of wood etc....

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany 🥰

Define “briefed”, whitehouse. Was it in reports placed for them to read? Was it said to them? Were they just unable to focus?

Wasn´t she the one who promised she´d never lie to the press? Yeah, right.

But it was our intel people that raised the flag. Wtf is going on here?

lies

TAP. Please THROW A PIE!!!

BS. BenedictDonald

What a plot twist at the end.

Why is she wearing a bathing suit?

Total lies. Even if the president wasn’t briefed, why not do anything about it now?

She looks like a beauty pageant contestant or tv weather person

Where is she off to after dressed like that?

Which 1 is it? They weren't briefed or there was no consensus?

kayleighmcenany The Devils advocate ♥️

She ain’t no virgin

What BS! If this was true it still is a clown show! How many times now has Trumpsaid he wasn’t aware of something important? He is the F’ing President and thinks that answer is OK?

Rrrrriiiiiigggghhhttt...

Does anyone believe her?

so...the president of the United States is out of the loop?

TRANSLATION: Intel community believe Trump works for Putin, not America.

what sentient being still believes their bullshit?

So either this is a lie or the administration is glaringly incompetent—which is better?

White power press secretary

So nobody knows anything and nothing and everything happened?

She. Is. A. Liar.

Trump on defensive over reports Russia paid bounties for killing U.S. troopsMultiple outlets have said the president received briefings about Taliban-aligned militants killing U.S. troops, but Trump has denied it. He wasn't at the briefing they gave him he has proof he wasn't there. Mike Pompeo backs his story up This piece of shit doesn't care about the men and women serving in the U.S. military. His only concern are the loans he owes to the Russians and the Chinese. Payment on those loans are coming due very soon. With interest. Any fake news and russian hoax to keep your terrorist military in other foreign countries.

Trump says no 'credible' intel Russia offered Taliban bounty payments to kill AmericansThe president earlier tweeted that "nobody briefed or told me," Vice President Mike Pence or White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about the intelligence. Catherine Herridge: An intel official with direct knowledge tells CBS there was an intel collection report and 'NSA assesses Report does NOT match well established and verifiiable Taliban and Haqqani practices' + 'lack sufficient reporting to corroborate any links.' Liars lie... trump is a liar we cannot believe a word he says Isn’t it ridiculous that intel confirms it, but this ONE man, because he thinks he is smart, denies it? But then again, people don’t care what he does and he keeps getting away with murder, literally! Not even God could get away with it!
