Treat every one of those white house imbeciles like they’re infected. Wanna meet? Ok, we’ll stand at opposite ends of a football field with megaphones.

”The announcement of Pompeo quarantining comes a day after he and his wife hosted a poorly attended large indoor holiday party…”

Enjoy intubation, dumbass.

Aren’t him and Barr about the only ones left that haven’t contracted this?

Gosh, it’s almost as if holding holiday parties is a bad idea, from an epidemiological standpoint.

But how was he to know?

WHY would they send out a message DON’T GO OUT and THEN set up a 900-person party?

It is literally INCONCEIVABLE (TM Vizzini/The Princess Bride). And ‘that’ is why NOBODY came. I saw a picture of a masked Santa at a table of eating kids…unmasked of course. I mean it is a NO-brainer. Just nuts.

In-tub 'o lard-ation, in this case. (On a positive note, it is one way to shut him up…)

The idiots at Parler are confused why the majority of the infected are Republicans.

They’re morons.

Well, at least we know now why he didn’t show up last night. (Or maybe this is just a good excuse…)

If he does have it:

  1. will he get the red carpet treatment?
  2. isn’t it about time, statistically, that one of the denizens of the inner BLOTUS circle gets really, really, really sick? Fat ass here would be a good candidate for that…

Fat Boy does not deserve special treatment, so expect him to get Regeneron.

I read somewhere that one criterion for Regeneron treatment is that your BMI must be at least 35. Pompeo might make that cut.

They appear not to see the coordination between UNMASKED and COVID-POSITIVE.

Like the Speaker of the House who went to an unmasked meeting, then got sick, then died. NOW people are blaming the ‘selfish people’ who went about unmasked. UM, the dude was not wearing a mask either. It was a circular firing squad.

Only Republicans are brave enough to admit they’ve been hoaxed, that’s why.

He definitely will make the BMI requirement by the time he cleans up all the catering trays left over from a party of 800 for which only 10% showed.

“Cause and effect” is a concept that is far, far, far too complex for them.

Plus: it makes for a really good conspiracy theory, which is what they live on…

Live by the sword, die by the Covid.

TWO things. To willfully blow off CDC guidelines KNOWING that you would get the premium drugs if you DID get it pisses me off to no end. Secondly, how convenient is it that these guys keep getting ‘exposed’ and it takes them out of the line of fire for a few days? Just sayin’…

However, photos from Pompeo’s holiday event on Tuesday night showed attendees removing masks to eat boxed meals and sip drinks.

Everyone agreed DJT Catering LLC did a fine job.
