1. So this too is a shitshow?

Whoda thunk it.

[demmiblue]

3. I don't know the veracity of this, but it seems plausible.

Maybe it is a heads-up for Pence.

[Bradshaw3]

8. Do we doubt that they are incompetent at this moment?

They are incompetent at everything else so I'm sure an emergency involving the world's greatest malignant narcissist in which he still calls the shots - at least for now - and his band of moronic enablers is going to be a mess.

11. What else do you expect from those clowns? nt

[Wellstone ruled]

2. Carefull,

would not trust a word that comes from Meadows.

[demmiblue]

4. True.

This is such a cluster-fuck. My head is spinning...

[Wellstone ruled]

7. He had a History of

running tons of misinformation operations when he was House leader.

This is nothing more than a Spin Operation to protect Trump's Image as a Strongman,when in fact he is a loser of the Nth degree.

[Leghorn21]

9. Yep, he's a pure, undiluted, 100% trump humper - I think he's fkn with us for whatever reason

Me, I’m just waiting for a “positive” from Barr, and perhaps one from Roody for dessert

[JohnnyLib2]

12. Ageed. We don't know what angle he's work on this time.

Trust has to be earned and all that.....

[GusBob]

24. Glad this post is near the top. He lies

He was brought in to stop leaks. One of his methods is to plant false information which can later be disproved to bolster claims of fake news

[Mike 03]

5. Now I'm curious if he was also the closely-placed source of that quote

from last night about everything "spiralling out of control" at the White House?

[BannonsLiver]

6. I wonder what his angle is

[people]

10. Why would Mark Meadows do that?

Can this all be a fake reality tv show - an attempt to postpone the election and get T some sympathy? This is so bizarre. Why would Meadows want people to think T is really sick when his MDs are trying to at least obscure his condition?

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Power Grab.

[WheelWalker]

20. You think there's a 25th afoot?

[Wellstone ruled]

21. He wants

a true End Timer in the Chair. Either Pence or Pompeo. Meadows is a barking dog not a doer.

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. "Off the record" means it can't be reported, even anonymously

Off the record is not the same as being an anonymous source.

[spanone]

25. it was reported immediately, this post is from 11:48 am

[justgamma]

16. I thought that he was

there to let everyone know that the president is working hard. Spinning is his job.

[asiliveandbreathe]

17. This all feels too choreographed for me..

The President's vitals over last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We are still not on a clear path to a full recovery."

So when the timing is right, a clear path will be made for the chosen one to suddenly emerge, like a miracle????..this lying is so disturbing..their reputation precedes them, thy have no dignity or morals.

I want him to feel pain, those fever nightmares of 200,000+ people dying, and the anguish of their family, 7 million+ people who will forever have physical and emotional ailments, the children torn away from their mothers and fathers, put in cages. My kindness and empathy goes to those people.

I feel I am being tested, and trying not to fall into the same evil pit as the pos and meadows and Johnson etc etc etc..my better angel is winning..I just don't know for how long..

[jmbar2]

18. Another possibility...

There are a lot of international strategic ramifications to Trump's illness. The CIA, military, intelligence, Homeland Defense, etc., are probably doing some serious gaming out of all the possible things that enemies could do to take advantage of this breakdown in the Executive branch.

Meadows and the doctors may have been instructed by intelligence to keep the details of his condition on the vague side while they put into place contingency plans.

Meadows is infected with the hubris virus and cannot keep his mouth shut with secrets.

JMHO

19. I still say he is getting worse and by tomorrow

or Monday at the latest, he will be on oxygen at the least.

And, I called it as far as the repug media calling him a hero.

[OverBurn]

22. If I had a whole dump truck full of fucks, I won't give Trump a single one.

[HipChick]

23. How long before he is fired..

[Politicalgolfer]

26. Oh for Christ's sakes...

....how fucking gullible is the press???....Meadows is setting us up for the miraculous cure of God's second son! Trump is not that sick if not downright faking the biggest con in history😡

[LudwigPastorius]

27. The Trumpanzee will not be amused at this off-message leaking.

Flung poo incoming, Marky!

[Aussie105]

28. Not a clear path to recovery.

No, definitely not, he's going to get worse over the next week.

He might even . . . . banish the thought, using up a ventilator and oxygen when there are more deserving people out there.

[Igel]

29. The tweets amount to,

"he wanted to not say things while the camera was rolling, so anything I report is substantiated by his mentioning that the cameras are rolling."

The video roll is meaningless. All that's left is the boldfaced assertion that he said something. Presumably off the record.

I'm glad to see one reporter who firmly believes that norms and precedent are meaningless.

30. Maybe we should just contact the Russian ambassador

to find out what is really going on and what Trump's condition is.
