About Meadows’ book,
Published by All Seasons Press which was formed in June 2021 by Louise Burke and Kate Hartson.

I know that this info is going into the weeds for some, but I learned over my bookselling career that who publishes what book is an important piece of information.

@danny They won’t be able to build the wall because this outfit is small, wouldn’t have the money to commit to ordering the printing of that many of Meadow’s books. But if we add Meadows’ book to the pile of Trump Jr’s, and all the other former Trump folk’s books well that might work. :slightly_smiling_face:

This is the kind of person Meadows is pathetically attempting to cover up for. Trump’s positive test came right before the ACB superspreader event at the White House.

Speaking of liars.

There is nothing beyond the text (except the odd tidbits we throw in).

Calling something “fake news” is not saying that there is anything factually incorrect about the reporting.

Rather, their claims of fake news is that the perceived slant of it is unfavorable to them.

He is not saying that the positive test is not true, he’s saying that since there was also an alleged negative test at some point that the two cancelled each other out and therefore reporting on the positive test is incorrect.

Man I am bummed about this SCOTUS stuff. It really does seem like the worst case scenario is right here.

Can someone help my memory? I’m trying to think of another instance where a landmark decision was overturned by parties defying a previous ruling (I.e. breaking the law), appealing all the way up, and then explicitly saying they broke the law to challenge precedent. This is unheard of, right? Even if Brown was the culmination of the NAACP’s efforts to show how insidious segregation was, no one broke the law to get there. Similar with West Coast Hotel with respect to Lochner. These were people suing on behalf of their rights being violated, not a state passing a law that blatantly violated existing law.

In fact, in Cooper v Aaron (another Brown fallout case) the SCOTUS ruled that states have to abide by Court decisions. Which seems to say that no, you cannot ignore rulings and then abuse the system to issue a challenge. A fundamental principle that seems to be getting utterly abandoned here.

This is really bad.

LOL. Trump just had to be helicoptered to Walter Reed Hospital with O2 levels in the 80s three days after testing negative before the debate ?

Meadows doesn’t have the resources, and apparently the contacts to keep him out trouble.
I’m wondering what Meadows actually did while CoS for Trump? Trump didn’t want a real CoS, so what were Meadow’s duties?

Yes, this exactly. Explained better than my attempt.

I don’t know enough about Scotus case history to inform, but it strikes me as interesting that Mississippi waited until the right people were in place on Scotus to break the law.

Right, thanks. TPM getting a little clickbaity this morning.

Meadows is still a spineless scum but there’s a scummier subtlety to this claim. He’s not denying what he wrote. He’s attacking the media for it (correctly) reporting on what he wrote.

The one that has the books with a hole punched in the bar code.

Maybe he was responsible for, ahem…“pressing T****p’s pants whilst being worn” after Hopeless Hicks left the WH?

Ok, that answers that question. Probably no vetting at all.

Another propaganda arm of the GQP.

He’s the world’s least intelligent human marionette so it’s the strings holding him up.

Did you watch the YouTube video of a Tucson cop emptying his 9 round clip into the back of a 61 one year old shoplifter in a motorized wheelchair? Then…after the guy falls forward out of the wheelchair dead as the proverbial door nail, he handcuffs him like he’s still a threat.

Point of Error: That contemptible POS was not “fighting” covid. Not at all. He was “succumbing” to covid because he refused to do a goddamn thing about it. He died doing what he loved, which was surrendering his dumb ass to a deadly virus.
