2. YUP!

They can round him up with the dump cabal & haul them all off to prison! 🤬👍

[marble falls]

4. Wouldn't that be sweet!

[lagomorph777]

25. The drummer in Spinal Tap; guy in red uniform on Star Trek

"Chief of Staff" for President Turd is a deadly and brief job.

3. You really need to pay attention to One America News ...

17. Are we doubting the veracity of the story? There is apparently a letter ...

Seems legit, at least in this case.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

21. Correct. If FOX News says the sun rises in the east,

number one, I wouldn't know, because I don't have cable, and number two, it's possible that they got something right. The weather, what day Christmas falls on. Not everything they say is wrong.

Thanks for writing.

[marble falls]

31. Like I said: you need to be CAREFUL using One America as a source. They've been ...

with FOX news that the President's response to Covid19 has been swell.

And at any rate rate remember this:

"Don't peddle right-wing talking points, smears, or sources"

[mahatmakanejeeves]

20. I understand that, but that's who tipped me off to the story.

I have to give credit where credit is due, because ... because I do.

Thanks for writing.

[marble falls]

32. All I flipping said was "be CAREFUL using a RW source.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

33. Will do. Thanks. NT

[Progressive Jones]

35. FOX Junior. nt

[essaynnc]

5. So, who picks his replacement? N/T

[jmowreader]

9. House members are replaced through special elections

Unfortunately for us, NC-11 is currently one of the worst-gerrymandered districts in NC.

[mtngirl47]

19. The redistricting improved our District slightly.

NC 11 is very rural--and has traditionally been conservative, but we've got a couple of more liberal counties.

Before Mark Meadows we had a moderate or "Blue Dog" Democrat, Heath Shuler. Shuler retired (without giving us much time to get a good candidate) and Meadows came in on the Tea Party/Anti-Obama movement.

This time we have a strong candidate, Moe Davis. https://moedavisforcongress.com/

6. Boy that was a fantastic decision

He'll fit right in with that track record of decision making.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. My guess is,

his Health Insurance is paid up for the year courtesy the Taxpayers of his District.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. tRump is changing horses midstream, in the middle of a crisis. . . . nt

[Canoe52]

10. He changes hookers midstream also...

[Progressive Jones]

12. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. But it costs him six figures :)

[Canoe52]

34. He's getting off cheap this time, we're only getting $1,200 after being screwed.

I want what Stormy got.

[JohnnyRingo]

11. I'll bet he has a lobbyist gig lined up

He's supposed to be out of office for a certain time before he can accept it I think.

He'll probably lobby for oil, fracking, weed killer, or probably something more toxic.

[TeamPooka]

13. I give him 3 months before Trump fires him.

[larwdem]

14. can it be

that they use last names, Meadows/ sanders, to confuse low info Dems?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

22. That bothered me too, but in LBN I have to use the headline exactly as it appears.

Thanks for writing.

[calimary]

15. Buh-BYE.

[Grokenstein]

16. A special kind of stupid.

"The whole ship is sinking! I KNOW! I'LL CHAIN MYSELF TO THE ANCHOR AND THROW IT OVERBOARD! I'M SAVED!!"

He's either drunk ALL the Flavor-Aid, or he's anticipating some insane attempt at overthrowing our legal government.

[Ford_Prefect]

18. Meadows the ever-Trumper is going to help screw things up even more. He's also a GOP rat#$%##r.

While in the NC Legislature he helped ram through all sorts of nasty. His view of politics is that of a vulture eying prey.

[Vinca]

23. Rat jumps on the sinking ship?

[gab13by13]

24. Shouldn't it be "unofficial" Chief of Staff?"

Did Jared resign?

[ck4829]

26. 28 House Republicans are not seeking reelection this November

This was a good number for us in 2018.

[Historic NY]

27. Asswipe....

[Laelth]

28. What happened to Mulvaney? n/t

30. only been on the phone with trump, no more a fly on the wall when trump consumes his face

"Will you walk into my parlour?" said a spider to a fly;
" 'Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy.
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I have many pretty things to shew when you are there."
"Oh no, no!" said the little fly, "to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again."

[CRK7376]

36. WAHOOOOOOOO!

One less embarrassment for my state. Now to be rid of Thom Tillis and we will be a much better state, maybe even flip the State Senate...
