Is it actually a strawman when someone actually came out and said that what people feel is true in their hearts is more important and correct than what the facts and evidence say?

I imagine it's an extrapolation of being able to turn on the receiver of certain types of modern televisions and cell phones. These people honestly believe technology is like magic.

Not impossible at all. With physical access to the microwave it would be easy to add a microphone and a small circuit to send digitized audio back out through the mains power.

In the Trump campaign, significant discussions probably did begin and end in poptart time ...

I would guess Conway has seen a document about the use of wall-penetrating radar, read the word 'microwaves' and assumed they meant microwave ovens.

And once you've factored in the fact you need to design the bug to not get fried when the microwave is used...

Eh, the microwaved area should be insulated.

All this is purely hypothetical though, since nobody would go to the effort of bugging a microwave when there are much easier things to bug.

The report itself is coming later today and I highly doubt it will contain any surprises.

At this point I'd personally have given up trying to look dignified and deliberately given the stupidest statements possible. Not even conspiracy theories, just claiming to get all my policy ideas from my friend Mortimer the orange crocodile who comes down my chimney and drinks Tizer 'n' pineapple cocktails when my other friends aren't around. Not for any particular reason, I'd just want to see what would happen.
