Trump tests positive for COVID

I'm curious how you define the "non brainwashed world"?

 

I am thinking they should be really sure and somehow get some UV light onto his lung tissue, along with the bleach treatment. Let us not restrict the people around him in any way with any idea some person comes up with. This is the president after all and we want to give every idea a chance because all ideas are important and equal.

We know for sure the virus is destroyed by boiling things so we should probably put that on the list too because we want to give our president all the best treatments anyone can think of.

 

If they both get it I am not going to have any more faith in god, but the lucifer may have done something.

 

I have to agree. The fact that he isn't tweeting says much more than anything else about his condition. If he is not tweeting that means he is barely conscious or unconscious. If this was mild stuff, or even the flu he would get a tweet or two out.

He is of the age to be hit hard by this. I am not sure antivirals are going to help if he has already been massively infected. This is not the most in shape elderly person in the world. He is in the extreme risk of death group, and it is becomming clear this has hit him hard. Given his age and the way this thing strikes, even if he does survive it is the end of his campaign because the election is coming. It was very unlikely he would be in the group that has no problems. At the very least it looks like he is probably going to be recovering through the election.


At the very least COVID has shut down the rallies and his bullshit speeches. COVID may have also shut down the cult from doing violence if he loses considering he won't be able to rile them up. Things may be a lot more uncertain for him, but this should calm down the wackos.

 

Oh myyyy!

 

In Idaho we have Ammon Bundy. Florida has Matt Gaetz. I'm not sure I'd trade.

 

Bill Stepien's got it.

 

The dominos are falling. Who's next?

 

The more I think about it the more I think this is actually a great development, especially if Trump is hit really hard by COVID. This really does put an end to the problems of his rallies and his calls for criminal activity before the election. The crazies on the right will crazy, but they lost the leader and in this moment that is everything. They are all going to snipe at each other until the election is over. We might even be able to down the SCOTUS nominee without the bully pulpit being occupied by the president.

He got caught by his own shit. Him getting sick will work more against him than joe, and without him lying about joe there will be a lot less misinformation. If this blasts him good he might be out of it for a while, and we all will be better off. COVID may save america from a lot of domestic terrorism. Pence is not the white supremacist darling Trump is. So for the next few weeks we might be without the bullshit calls for violence and oppression from the highest office in america.

Yes, at this point I am rooting for an extreme case or death. I think that is best for this country and you can suck it if you disagree. If hopes and prayers for death or harm worked there would be a lot of dead and crippled people out there.

 

From a CBS article on twitter:

Oh yeah, that's exactly what you do to someone with mild symptoms who's doing really well.

 

Its times like this that we are missing Gturners special version of crazy. A direct line to right wing conspiracy crazy was always a good read.

 

While nations with spies could easily figure out how to find and infect a Hicks or a Conway, the average person probably could not. So going directly for POTUS opens up the conspiracy to more possibilities. Also, one could not guarantee that the White House was not doing more/enough to screen people so that your Hicks/Conway type were kept away from POTUS.

Of course, why not both?

I think Alanis Morrisette may get inspired to add a new verse to her hit song "Ironic" because of your post. Pompous wrongheadedness? Really?

Right now, as I understand it, the polls generally show that Trump has about a 25 percent chance of winning, and that Biden tends to be ahead in polls the key states Hillary lost (Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania). Other states that Republicans have generally won are polling within striking distance for Biden.

Trump won last time on a fluke on a bunch of factors that are mostly not present in this race, among them: Hillary having high negatives, Hillary underestimating him, him being a blank enough slate that people could buy into his rhetoric, the FBI investigation of Hillary's e-mails, sexism. Other factors that still are likely to be present, like Russian attacks, voter suppression efforts, disinterest or outright hostility from the left, at least we are more aware of them than we were before the 2016 election and generally are attempting to mitigate them.

So what basis do you have for thinking he's got a 95 percent chance of winning?

Are you willing to put your money where your mouth is? If Biden wins, you pay me $190. If Trump wins, I pay you $10. (If either dies before the election, a push). Deal?

As far as I've seen, Trump hasn't done so great with lawsuits. Trump more or less lost the lawsuit on Trump University (unless you consider a $30 million settlement a win which it may have been because he stood to lose more at trial), and he still has the Carroll lawsuit hanging around, and the one from the former Apprentice candidate he supposedly harassed. His track record in court doesn't really inspire confidence that he will fend off future lawsuits.

As to his taxes, he has apparently been embroiled in a long-ass audit. If the NYT reporting on his taxes is accurate, there are likely crimes there. Robert Mueller in his report and testimony all but said that Trump had committed crimes but because of the DOJ's policy that one cannot indict a sitting president did not pursue that avenue. The likelihood of Trump facing charges for federal crimes is low because he has enough audacity to pre-emptively pardon himself before leaving office, and there is a decent chance that his successor might pardon him too. That would not insulate him from any of the ongoing state probes. All of which may actually fizzle, of course, either due to lack of evidence or decisions to move on or political contributions or whatever. And of course, as someone rich who has never been convicted of a crime, and in particular as a former president, there is a good chance that even if convicted, he would not get more than a slap on the wrist. But that there's a less than zero chance that he will be prosecuted and receive a prison term seems straight-up wrong.

 

I don't endorse this, but had to share:

It's a bit like being 10 again and coming downstairs to open your presents. The 12 days of trumpness.

 

With many recent republicans testing positive is it too much of a conspiracy theory that Trump was just like, "Okay everyone, Go out and get this thing!" And they all said, "Okay!"
And then his children will say, "Look at the sacrifice he made for this country" "He is a warrior!"
And then all of the republicans would demand that the election must wait because they all just got sick suddenly.

Na, that is way too far fetched, even for me. But it did enter my mind for a moment.

 

It did seem very conveniently timed at first, but seems to just be an example of how if you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.

 

LOL
Me giving them the "benefit of the doubt"
I can hear Kelly Anne's voice now, "Na we did it on purpose! We knew what we were doing!"

 

And now Ron Johnson.

 

Not so much Crockett as just a crock.

 

And apparently now Rick Scott?



Once again, if anybody wrote this administration as a piece of fiction, it would get sent back with a note saying "too pat -- not believable."

 

Never mind on Rick Scott.

 

Annnnnd now it's Chris Christie.
