Guy who lied that he graduated college tells infectious disease expert (Fauci) to "stay on message."



Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell

Guy who lied that he graduated college — @MarkMeadows — tells infectious disease expert (Fauci) to “stay on message.”

Robert Costa @costareports

"When he catches Fauci sounding out of sync with Trump, the chief of staff admonishes the doctor to 'stay on message,' officials said — and he has impressed upon Fauci, Birx and other health professionals that they should not opine on restrictions... "

How do these idiot, liars keep getting elected to any office?
There's a tiny farm town east of us. About 250 people.
He shouldn't be elected to streets commissioner there, and they've only got 8 blocks of streets.
Yet, he was in freakin' Congress.

I doubt Trump was elected. And his administration is full of unqualified people who have an agenda to destroy the agencies they've been appointed to lead. Almost like a foreign power wants to destroy American institutions and trust in our own government.

I still cannot wrap my head around the pro-life crowd rallying around policies that have caused hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths.

Pro-birth as a political tool. Once the baby is born they abandon the mother and the baby.

Given the right timing, the will KILL national healthcare.

They take away food stamps and childcare programs.

UNTIL THE CHILD TURNS 18 then they want them to go fight and die in foreign countries in unnecessary wars.

They say they are pro-military. I say BS they are pro-military-industrial complex. That GENERAL Eisenhower warned us about.

They want billions to build unnecessary weapon systems IN THEIR HOME STATES. LOOK at the A10 "Warthog" the ground troops love them because they provide VERY CLOSE air to ground support. They fly low with massive weapon systems that are deadly to enemy ground troops. Do the research. They are scraping the A10 so they can build an unknown untested VERY expensive weapon system. Congress members "called it to bring home the bacon" Again as a political tool to get re-elected.

Once you are a veteran you are now again a liability just like the BORN CHILD.

They say "We Support the Troops" it sounds good on a bumper sticker. As a political tool.

VETERAN HAVE TO FIGHT for every inch of promised health care. Vietnam vets are still dying from agent orange sprayed as a defoliant in Vietnam.

Watch this generation of veterans will have to fight to prove depleted uranium used in armor-piercing shells are causing early-onset cancers in troops who fought in the middle eastern wars.

Finally, look at the NRA using a reported 64 million dollars to buy luxury items for the top people who are living like kings. Private jets, all paid for family vacations, multimillion-dollar homes. Hugh golden parachute retirement packages.

Defending the 2nd Amendment. BS enriching themselves on your membership fees. Again as a political tool.

I am a third-generation Veteran and proud of it. MY grandfather WW I in France. My Dad WW II disable navy veteran. Myself a USAF Medic Vietnam. Oh and a gun owner who abandoned the NRA after the first mass school shooting.

in dealing with the virus. The richest nation in the world. This is why we are going to continue suffering and dying until Trump and his cronies are removed from office. I can hardly wait until flu season and we still don't have quick response testing.

Don't be afraid to die for Wall Street, to die for Trump. Many accept that message.

Fauci made a mistake trying to coddle a scorpion. Now he and his family are getting death threats. Now he has to make a choice to break from Trump and his band of vipers and go out on his own to tell the truth which will risk his safety. He should have broken from Trump months ago. Experts were wrong saying it was better for Fauci to coddle the scorpion so that he kept a place on the inside of the den. Fauci only gave credence to Trump's incompetence. Birx was worse.

Our country is now following the advice of a demon sperm doctor.

So, Meadows, are we supposed to take YOUR stupid fucking advice??!? You're a fucking college dropout! Dr. Fauci has actual medical credentials and vast experience.

Jesus Henry Christ! I cannot endure another five months of this stoopid.
