"Will you shut up, man?" US Politics October 2020

Well, well, and this isbefore COVID:

By overwhelming margins, voters in Pennsylvania and Florida were repelled by President Trump’s conduct in the first general election debate, according to New York Times/Siena College surveys, as Joseph R. Biden Jr. maintained a lead in the two largest battleground states.

Over all, Mr. Biden led by seven percentage points, 49 percent to 42 percent, among likely voters in Pennsylvania. He led by a similar margin, 47-42, among likely voters in Florida.

"“I was tested yesterday I think for the 6th time and I tested positive again"

he's one of those people who thinks that a positive is always a good thing, got it

he's a senator from florida

Does anyone else find it odd that no prominent Democrats have had the virus but the list of Republicans goes on and on?

If you’re feeling like you’re crazy because you can’t figure out if this news is real or a ploy, it’s because we’ve been gaslit by this administration for 4 years. There’s nothing wrong with your judgment and reasoning skills. This is a result of abuse. #ThanksTherapy

Ha yes, that's fair

YES

I just received word that I am positive for COVID-19. I want to thank all of my friends and colleagues who have reached out to ask how I was feeling in the last day or two. I will be receiving medical attention today and will keep the necessary folks apprised of my condition.

You won't be happy unless Ron gets it somehow.

what a delight!

xxp this day just keeps getting better and it's only 8:43 AM!

These stupid motherfuckers. Christie was commentating live in studio on ABC the night of the debate.

and he already looked spooked yesterday morning on GMA.

Talk about comorbidities.

Like as a former fat person, I am very aware of not being a fatphobic asshole, but Christie looks like Violet Beauregarde when she chewed the special gum. But that's just the way he looks!

well I can't really put anything past t at any time.
has no sense of shame, though dunno if he would understand the concept of empathy which this being a ruse would rely on.
JUst thinking it would be hypothetically pretty 'kin great if he disappeared right now.
Hope taht wouldn't effect the way people vote to the negative.
Having a piece of malfeasance quite that putrid in a position of power is disturbing the rest of teh world.
Haven't heard anything about McConnell getting what he deserves either which is a shame, hope that's coming soon.

Man, we sure these mf-ers weren't dripping all over one another at some GOP orgy or something? Gives 'superspreader' a whole new meaning.

In the doctor press conference just now, Trump’s medical team said he’s been getting treatment since his diagnosis 72 hours ago

EVERYONE OUT YOUR MATH PANTS ON

what was the story on Chris Wray being Christie's sidekick during bridgegate.
I heard somebody extolling his goodness on some podcast over the last couple of days.
Hope there isn't a different true colour waiting to show

get well soon governor, hope all the bridges are open en route to your medical attention https://t.co/FVqB0eZXn4

I'm telling you, these assholes will all recover, then say, see, nbd, and not only that we are all now likely immune, unlike those vulnerable Democrats ...

can we not

not what?

do that kind of pessimistic speculation

focus on the Senate not being able to meet until after the election

josh is q

Wait, is it now being reported that Trump knew about his diagnosis earlier than they revealed, and still attended mask-free ceremonies?

I mean tbf if there’s anything I’ve taken away from this century is that bad ppl are virtually indestructible

JUST IN: A source familiar with the president's condition tells reporters:

“The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery.”

xp for fuck's sake y'all. this is a glorious moment, just enjoy it.

THANK YOU

"Guys, Mussolini is a monster, but we must remember he is a human being..."

not bullet proof?

MATH PANTS ON

I guess the appropriate Nixon reference is "What did the President breathe, and when did he breathe it?"

Might be time for the Biden camp to rethink pulling those negative ads. https://t.co/CxdyXJAFfr

How are mainstream repubs spinning early Xmas so far? I haven’t kept up today.

by "mainstream" do you mean "those without covid"? because that number is shrinking.

Who will Pence pick as lame duck VP? My guess is Hayley but only if she can spin it as a way to elevate her profile and not as the terminal, apex of her political career

Ivanka

(not least because they could still use all the Trump/Pence merch but just turn it upside-down)

One point in favour of an early checkout for trump is it would be disastrous for Republican turnout in senate elections.

Ok, so if he has known he's been positive since at least Wednesday morning, that means they went days without notifying the Biden campaign, or anyone else, not least that New Jersey fundraiser, that they were potentially exposed.

Fuck these dangerous and incompetent ghouls.

or was that just more timeline confusion because these assholes lie about everything and can't be trusted?

From ye Post:

Maryland Republican Party tells supporters to go to Walter Reed to ‘stand with the president’

Yes. Stand really, really close.

Doesn't Biden have a Secret Service detail? Didn't they inform his campaign of the president's status?

lol

xpost they should all lay hands on him.

I understand Biden needs to be respectful right now but he needs to hit this shit hard if/when he recovers

Yes, Christie!

Biden can stand down for the weekend, it will be fine.

the thing thats worth considering is that biden, dem establishment, tv news et al really believe this sanctimonious loser bullshit, not that theyre exactly sincere but they believe that this is how you perform politics and its the winning and good poltics, and tbf it has won for them theyre all powerful and wealthy, it just loses for the rest of us
