Most of Pompeo’s “friends” are smarter than he is.

Just like Trump at his party.

He just tested positive for COVID?

He said he was exposed to someone who has it, saying that because of that, he was going to self quarantine. Using that as an excuse for calling off another party (not because he knows that no one will show up.”

PHEW! Good to know more people are sane than insane. The way the regular TV news here in Canada portrays it you would think every single person was either an anti-masker or a small business complaining about lockdowns and other restrictions. (And NOT complaining about lack of income replacement for their employees and themselves.) They literally started a news story about how fast Covid is spreading in the greater Toronto area last night by talking to a small business owner kvetching. So it’s good to be reminded most people get it, most people are being careful and the thing that never gets talked about – – most people are scared.

It’s just an individual serving that no server touches. Boxed up in the kitchen Like when you get a takeout. I assume it would be the same crappy giant party food you normally get.

It was his foot not his leg. But it might’ve been bits off both feet. 😖 The needing a go fund me part sucks but he’s in the rehab hospital now. So he survived the Covid anyway. And he is a Trumper.

I dunno, how good can the eatin' be when the menu is "boxed meals"?

If we were still using just cloth masks and not the kind with that plasticloth layer people could just drink through the mask. Sure it would look really gross but that would somehow be appropriate…

I absolutely endorse your position on this and your absence from the ‘spreader event.

And it’s perfectly normal food, right? It’s not like something a kid would take to school in their lunch bag in the 30s, right?

I’d prefer to believe the staff either took it home and that’s fine or they sent it to a homeless shelter. It’s not like Pompeo or the Trump chief of staff think about stuff like food. Or silverware, or toilet paper…

Maybe at the party. Or the person he was around might’ve only just found out they were positive. What with the long wait for test results.

It just occurred to me if they only got 70 RSVPs out of 900, why didn’t they just cancel?

Yep just the other day I was thinking I don’t want to get curbside pick up, on the sidewalk in front of this little store, because the people who would be on that shopping street in my neighbourhood are going to be all the crazyheads. (We are in an essential trips only lockdown, not actually enforced) because everyone sensible who goes to those shops is at home.

As does the Krampus.

You forgot the salt-free "potato" chips.

Sorry Devin Nunes has never been in the loop in his life.

Also a fun nostalgic activity is to watch comedy shows on YouTube from the house hearings before the actual impeachment. It really takes you out of now. Remember how the Republicans’ lawyer who questioned these witnesses, all the state department people, had his papers in a grocery bag? 🛍

There are loads more of these. Just type in “Seth Meyers house impeachment hearings“. And you got yourself a nice little time waster. 🤣🤣🤣
