John Harwood
@JohnJHarwood
WH chief of staff Mark Meadows today on Trump:

“The president is not only well-prepared, but reads so much that it causes me to have to read many times well into the night to catch up with him.”

[The Magistrate]

1. Well, He Was Part Of The 'Freedumb Caucus', Sir

So there is no reason to assume he is any more capable than Trump in that regard....

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Impressed.

Not many people, even Trump, can pack 3 lies in one sentence.

(1) president is not only well-prepared
(2) (Trump) reads so much
(3) causes me to have to read many times well into the night to catch up with him

[Sherman A1]

3. These are trained professionals

Do Not Try This At Home.............

[ProfessorGAC]

5. #3 Is A Double Lie

First, it doesn't actually happen, and if it did, Harwood can barely read.

[Celerity]

35. John Harwood strikes me as being very literate nt

[ProfessorGAC]

37. Opinions Differ (nt)

[Celerity]

39. are you sure you are not talking about Meadows and Trump?

[ProfessorGAC]

42. You're Right!

I meant to quote Meadows, not Hardwood.
My fault.
When I replied, I had still thought I mentioned Meadows.
Brain cramp!
I was thinking that being a member of the Freedumb Caucus, and literate are mutually exclusive descriptors!
Thanks for spotting my error!

[Celerity]

43. All good

Cheers

4. ok...let's see his reading list...

they all must be very proud and impressed by it...c'mon guys...let's see it...

[soothsayer]

7. Well there's a centerfold

But he gets it for the articles!

[Delarage]

18. Do Tweets count as reading?

He does share a lot of tweets.

[ck4829]

6. I'm willing to bet Trump himself had a hand in making sure that quote was said

[bottomofthehill]

8. Remember Mark is a slow learner...

Meadows attended Florida State University for one year in 1977–78.[2] Meadows falsely claimed to hold a Bachelor of Arts from the University of South Florida for many years in his official biography maintained by the Office of the Historian of the U.S. House of Representatives. In actuality, he graduated from the University of South Florida with an Associate of Arts.[2]

[Different Drummer]

27. How slow would he have to be to be slower than Trump?!

I can't even fathom it!

[SheltieLover]

9. Pfffft

[Cha]

10. Well put, GC.. trump Can't Even Read a Teleprompter.. you dumbass

Liar, meadows.

Rt!

[bamagal62]

13. First thing that popped into my head!

[onetexan]

12. whoa, and he's gotten away with it all these years. Bonafide liar.

[bottomofthehill]

14. I am not the brightest bulb either

But I don’t lie about it and I am not the Whitehouse Chief of Staff.

[malaise]

15. Please

He made up his four year degree

[VOX]

16. "Dear Leader's stubby mushroom is bigger than mine." - Mark Meadows

“Now maybe he’ll like me for 15-20 minutes, before I have to lick his shoes again.”

Sign me,
MM

[2naSalit]

19. Well...

. "Dear Leader's stubby mushroom is bigger than mine." - Mark Meadows

I'm thinking that the only way he'd know that is if he got a good look at it up close while licking the anal sphincter.

[Nexus2]

17. The Great Mango consumes self respect first,

as an appetizer for your soul. Reputation is its dessert.

[Nexus2]

41. More, seriously, I don't see how any of the Trump surrogates and supporters lack the self respect

and basic dignity to most the crap they regurgitate of television. Watching KC/DC with a Trump campaign spokesman trying to explain how Trump's incredible leadership makes 57% of Republican feeling the Corona death totals make sense and okay.

And, yeah he called it the China virus. And, btw, Lockdowns are foolish as its a airborne contagion.

[spanone]

20. meadows is just another trump syncophant. lap dogs have more self-respect than meadows

[Blue Owl]

21. I'll bet Louie Gohmert is slack-jawed and drooling with awe

n/t

[KY_EnviroGuy]

22. Does Murdoch's Wall Street Journal have a funny paper insert?

Maybe Faux News publishes transcripts at primary school level.

KY........

[calimary]

23. I dunno - are we talking fortune cookies or something?

Yeah, you've gotta work pretty hard to keep up with all of that reading matter!

[DFW]

24. On the other hand, it takes Oscar-winning acting skills to say them with a straight face. n/t

[littlemissmartypants]

25. I know it's probably obvious that Mark Meadows has no soul.

I just feel compelled to state the obvious.

❤ lmsp

[Sophiedillo]

26. He was probably referring to the TV Guide.

[tiptonic]

28. Must be

Must be, a old fashion comic book store, somewhere around.

[struggle4progress]

29. "To understand the President, I read the latest 'Naked Miss Teenage America'"

[appleannie1]

30. Comic book? Porn? See Don Run?

[EarthFirst]

31. I suppose reading the cereal box is in fact reading...

However so does my 4 year old nephew.

[SunSeeker]

32. Ask your wife, George. nt

[Aviation Pro]

33. How can they say these things with a straight, fucking face?

N/a

[gulliver]

34. It's actually kind of scary how Trump completely gets people to lie and grovel.

But you watch any movie or documentary about cults, Satanic or otherwise, and you see how. People can just completely give over their executive function to the service of the leader. I think it frees them of the effort, anxiety, and pain of having to think for themselves. Cult leaders want chaos, because the hell of chaos makes sane, open, friendly thinking so difficult and frustrating that people give up.

This Meadows guy in this quote is no different from Squeaky Fromme.

[stillcool]

36. He's a Republican, so he's had lots of practice...

[Dukkha]

38. The Fox News ticker is not reading

Though I doubt he can even read that

[Roland99]

40. Twitter feeds do NOT count as reading

[Brainfodder]

44. Must be setting up for: Trump Book Club?

[Drahthaardogs]

45. It's like fucking Baghdad Bob, only this time

WE are the brunt of the joke!

[JHB]

46. Uhhhh, all of it, I think

How the hell is there not a gif or meme of that line from Terminator II?
