    Again I hope he recovers and doesn't die. I am pulling for him. But the white house has some dumb ass people is all I can say.

    I’m sorry to hear that, but I can’t say I’m surprised.

    This could become a very serious problem governing. What if, through some miracle, Democrats and Republicans in Congress were able to come to a good compromise on a major stimulus bill, one addressing the economic and social catastrophe we’re experiencing, a catastrophe that is getting worse. What if trump can’t sign it? I know Pence could supposedly take temporary power, but what if those surrounding trump attempt to prevent that? It’s not an impossible scenario.

    At this point, all this conjecture is infoporn.

    Only exercise is to see how credible these media stiffs are by reading this a month later.

    Honestly, if I were Biden (and obviously I am not), I'd pull most of my TV money and put it into a ground game with face shields. Biggest mistake he's made so far is not going door to door handing out voter registration forms

    But seriously, we both know that it would hurt Biden if he ever came across as crass or uncaring. His taking the high road is a big point of distinction. Those negative attack ads aren't going to move the needle much anyway.

    Word out of Walter Reed is that Trump has been placed in hypocritical condition.

    yeah, okay I guess? Hard to know what to trust. If they are lying to distract and create sympathy, this would be exactly the routine.

    here is Trump back in 2014 basically wanting Obama to contract Ebola



    Did any of the deplorables have an issue with this? But now Trump has Covid, and we’re supposed to feel sorry for him and send him thoughts and prayers. We’re supposed to listen to the likes of @BigDog63 play the right wing fake morality card. Gimme a break...

    Would be the craziest political scandal/gamble of all time if he faked sick, and then it just went away, "proving" him right. And then he'd be like the Rambo pics of himself.

    The fact that Trump is not tweeting at all is a very bad sign. I mean, some critical covid patients did live streaming the entire time.

    Also, wtf is wrong with this goddamed country that we're even talking about this.

    I want him to live through at least November though. He deserves that, but preferably beyond so that we have a full accounting of this national stain.

    Like I said it was always a good move for Trump to resign in exchange for a blanket pardon the day before he leaves office. Maybe time to get out that pen.

    I'm so conflicted in how I feel. On the one hand, I lost someone I cared for to Covid. I also don't wish ill in most. And I've also said very bad things about Trump.


    But then I think about all the times he's made fun of the handicap, the soldiers, Hillary for being sick, assaulted women, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc and I guess I just think "it is what it is."

    I guess I'm mostly apathetic, I just am curious as to what happens. In an ideal world, he'd beat this, but realize he can't do this political thing any more, and this covid thing would humanize him for the rest of his years and he'd begin an apology tour for the rest of his life.

    I'm not conflicted at all because I have the Word of Ayn Rand as my Gospel.

    If he's strong, he lives. If he dies, he dies.​

    But seriously, if Bojo can pull thru, Donny will likely pull thru...

    one can dream

    200k+ have died that he just does not give a damn about...he’s said “it is what it is” when told how many people were dying each day due to Covid...it just makes his incompetence and actions more infuriating

    we got a thread about Harden being traded for KAT in the GARM...we forget his mom died of Covid

    so many people have lost loved ones...he doesn’t care

    I’m not sitting here rooting for his death, but if Satan wants to claim him, I would not object.
