Nut Job Commits A Felony To Avoid Filing Reports That Would Reveal He’s A Nut Job
Please meet Congressfool Mark Meadows from North Carolina. He’s a nut job. He’s also chairman of the Freedom Caucus. I do not know which came first – the nut or the caucus. It’s one of those chicken and egg things.
Meadows believes that dinosaurs and Jesus had a relationship. Yep, he’s a creationist and has been dabbling in real estate where dinosaur bones have been found.
Three years ago, the North Carolina congressman Mark Meadows sold a hundred-and-thirty-four-acre property in Dinosaur, Colorado. The buyer was Answers in Genesis, a Christian nonprofit based in Kentucky, which was founded by the Australian creationist Ken Ham. Answers in Genesis is dedicated to promoting young-Earth creationism, which holds that the Earth was created in six days, several thousand years ago.
The selling price was about $200,000, which does not seem extraordinary. However, Meadows did not claim the extra income on his congressional financial disclosure. He’s a three term senator. He knows the rules. This wasn’t an accident or ignorance.
Public Citizen has filed a request for an investigation and includes this ..
Public Citizen further requests that the Clerk of the House investigate whether Meadows has a history of failing to report his investments and transactions. According to Brett Kappel, a campaign finance lawyer quoted in the news story, “[t]here appear to have been multiple reporting violations that occurred over a long period of time” by Meadows.
Oops – one cover-up can unearth a lot of problems.
Well, I don’t know what I expected differently. He’s one of Trump’s closest allies in congress. And, you know about that swamp thing Trump’s got going.
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
Meadows is a House rat, chairman of the House Freedumb Caucus. Corrupt and Republicon are inseparable characteristics of those hypocrites.
Funny how that works with them. Newtie and Hastert were a pair with the audacity to attack the Big Dog over “morals.” But the current House rats won’t go after IQ4.5 for corruption because they are themselves corrupt? Nah. Probably the twin to corrupt – compromised. They’re swimming in the same swamp of kompromat as Donnie; first one to cast a stone sinks.
1Who came first, the chicken or the egg? I’d say it was probably the rooster.
Who lied first, Men Hamm or Mark Meadows?
2My grannie always said, “lay down with dogs, get up with fleas!”
3Gramdma Ada, it’s “Lay down with dogs, get up with rabies”.
4Is he a Senator, or a House member? Confusion.
5Meadows is a R Representative from North Carolina and is
6considered one of Trump’s closest goons. Of course he cuts legal corners. Look who his example is.
Meadows represents the NC 11th district.
I have the misfortune of living in the NC 5th. Virginia (not a) Foxx is my rep. She’s also an avid trump* supporter. She’s about as useless as, well, insert any quip here.
7The blatant corruption and amorality is troubling enough but it’s the hack job to paleontology that hurts my science brain. And I’m not even a fossil nerd! The loss to real scientific knowledge is hard to take. Plus I’ll bet the excavations weren’t done professionally, leading to further damage and losses to the specimens themselves. So if you don’t acknowledge true scientific knowledge, why not go ahead and cheat about your finances?
8We’re never going to be rid of these scamming idiots, are we?
Ken Ham. The Creation Museum in Kentucky.
Back in the day, Ian Murphy pranked Ken Ham at the Creation Museum.
The story is no longer on buffalobeast.com (Ian died about two months ago) but Church of Virus has the text: http://www.churchofvirus.org/bbs/index.php?board=33;action=display;threadid=42739
9RA, I too live in District 5. The only think you can count on Virginia Foxx to do is vote with the Republicans. She has never voted against the party line.
10Virginia Foxx makes my (blue dog) rep look like a flaming liberal.
Boomer #8: I’m with you. ::sigh::
11Suzanne, that was epic! Thank you.
