    I'm just astounded she didn't double down, say that going to Rhodes College makes you a Rhodes Scholar.

    I think this kind of behavior from anyone in the Trump administration should be commended, not laughed at.

    I don't see how being a Rhodes Scholar would appeal to your average Republican. Wasn't the Antichrist Himself, William Jefferson Clinton, a Rhodes Scholar? You know it ain't right to trust no intellectual types.

    Dollars to donuts they had no idea what a Rhodes scholarship was until Clinton came along, and then it was "one of them furriner things." Now it's "Oh, yeah? Well we got one of them, too!" :dendroica:

    The lunatic fringe of the evangelical right has a complex relationship with the idea of academic achievement, frequently demonstrating a deep yearning for its respectability at the same time as they denigrate it.

    Yahoo news reports Trump and Melania are beginning "quarantine process" after Hope Hicks tests positive for Covid 19.

    Trump tweeted late Thursday: “The First Lady and I are waiting for our test results. In the meantime, we will begin our quarantine process.”

    Earlier, during a call-in interview with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity, Trump said: “Whether we quarantine or whether we have it, I don’t know. I just went for a test and we’ll see what happens.”

    Trump has consistently played down concerns about being personally vulnerable to contracting COVID-19. “I felt no vulnerability whatsoever,” he told reporters back in May.

    Say he gets the test results back tomorrow. A quarantine would end right about the day of the second debate. Whether he has it or not, it's a way to weasel out.

    If he backs out due to the 'Rona, even some of his followers will have a 'hey, wait a minute' moment. And that might keep some of the home from the polls

    He'll say any damn thing. Assume 90% of it is a lie. If he ever stumbles onto the truth, it's by accident.

    Right. Which is why I’m mentioning it now. What makes this time different?

    I really don't think it's fair of you to say something like that about someone, and especially about someone as highly placed as Donald Trump.

    What gives you the right to say that 10% of what he says is probably true?

    Wouldn't wish Covid on anyone, particularly not an ageing, obese guy. Saying that, even the Trumpets @oldfella1962 @Paladin and @Zombie RIP can surely see the irony in the guy who told America:

    - Covid is a hoax
    - Covid will be gone in a month
    - No need to wear a mask
    - Inject bleach

    etc etc, coming down with it.

    I couldn't help but post a link to that clip on Frontline's FB page where he was outraged by the "ghouls" allegedly celebrating Trump's illness. I'm a terrible person. :tasvir:

    The best he could do was dredge up a comment from Hillary's 2016 campaign mouthpiece saying "I hope he dies". My response was that it would be a terrible thing for somebody actually running for president to say that.:dayton:
