If I had a nickel for every Oval Trailer tantrum over the last 3 3/4 years…

There’s a very high likelihood that Meadows is, has been or will be COVID positive. He shouldn’t be allowed in the building.

The things a toady must do to curry Orangula’s favor.

Meadows has been correctly labeled as a total Trump sycophant.

Maybe Meadows is hiding something…

Don’t CDC guidelines say Meadows should have gone on a 2 week quarantine at home, based on Trump’s infection and Meadows’ proximity to him?

Snowflake con-tard.

For that reason among many, many others.

Except in that case, he would be insisting on keeping the mask on…

CDC guidelines - wear masks inside unless you are in the act of blowing air and spittle directly at people in front of you.

Meadows is acting like a spoiled child and a fucking arrogant pissant.

“If I wear a mask I can’t be a vector!”

Meanwhile, how is Christie doing?

And when was the last time Melania made an appearance?

(I see Christie made it out)

Remember back in the day when Meadows and Mulvaney (?) went into self quarantine in March because they both went to C-PAC and were in close contact with someone who was there and infected?
He did before, why can’t he do again?

pabodie · October 12, 2020, 5:19pm

What an aristocratic dick.

“I’m not going to talk through a mask,” the Trump deputy said before walking off in a huff.

Of course, he has no trouble with lying through his teeth.

dommyluc · October 12, 2020, 5:22pm

So Meadows pitches a hissy. Must be the Lindsey influence.
