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

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

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — AP source: President Trump was administered supplemental oxygen at the White House on Friday before going to hospital.

Curious as to what sensible alternative there would be to “Wish you a speedy recovery!” from the dems right now? “Lol suck it!”?

That video he posted before leaving for the hospital was totally a deepfake wasn’t it?

Maybe shot a bit earlier before condition degraded?

trump got the virus by being completely cavalier and callous which is the same way he killed 200k people which are also his prime personality traits its the most obvious thing in the world

hes not fit to lead

i mean if the want to have a lil prayer weekend fine but the dems better start asking questions soon or theyre just going to be doing trumps campaigning for him

OK dude

alright

Yeah, you’re not saying anything any of us disagree with, but I’m just not clear on what kinda road you think dems should be taking here other than the half-sincere “tactful” one they’re taking now?

Dems should offer polite condolences for his disease and hammer him on everything else. Just stay on message.

Well maybe “what did he know and when did he know it this week?” Might be worth getting into just spitballin

Oh yes

I fully understand their hands are kinda tied here but it’s not like Trump contracted some rare blood cancer, it’s a disease he’s taken every measure to spread to as many people as possible, and I think the Dems need to push the whole “you dishonest assholes knowingly put our candidate at risk” angle

I don’t think it matters a ton what the democrats do btw. Purely in terms of short term electoral politics the smart move is probably not to interrupt him.

If he knew he was positive before the bedminister event, that is a major scandal.

Yeah, one in a million major scandals. I’m not sure anyone cares anymore.

I don’t think it matters a ton what the democrats do btw. Purely in terms of short term electoral politics the smart move is probably not to interrupt him.

I think people would care that he is knowingly spreading the virus. All of us have overturned our lives to prevent the spread. People have given up everything.

Also talking about covid is implicitly extremely damaging to all republicans so by all means do that

Jobs. Businesses. Time with loved ones.

caek otm on all counts

trump is def in to say the least a very tough spot in many ways but it would be dangerous if everyone is just all pray for the president come together as a nation, someones at the very least gotta be asking questions about when he was diagnosed, why they werent wearing masks at any events, and it wldnt be bad to point out that the trumps shitty behavior has not only got himself sick but killed 200k americans, im not saying biden himself should be jumping on this but the dems have to keep campaigning

^^ this too

Totally. There is no need for performative/sincere thoughts and prayers stuff. Xp

I think what the gop has done is so bad that thoughts and prayers would almost be damaging to the democrats with so many people who’ve sacrificed so much. If you can’t say anything mean don’t say anything at all.

Third GOP senator, Sen. Ron Johnson tests positive.

RBG may have obtained her final wish.

Gloves off in senate races of course.

Seriously, the virus *which he has* underscores his incompetence, so they should emphasize that at every juncture. "We pray for him to get better, but this was possibly avoidable. Millions of people are catching this, many of them are dying, and there are very simple steps anyone, including the White House, can take to reduce the risk."

Drop the first eight words

Show things like this

I’ve seen enough Republican senators test positive to tweet this photo. @SenatorWicker — because you refused to wear a mask on our @Delta flight last night, please let your fellow passengers know your status once you’ve been tested. pic.twitter.com/j2TW6g1gwO

Conversations w Republicans close to WH over last 12 hours indicate it’s been far more dire than WH has said. Before being taken to Walter Reed, Trump kept asking aides, “Am I going out like Stan Chera? Am I?” (Chera was Trump’s NYC friend who died of Covid in April)

— Gabriel Sherman (@gabrielsherman) October 3, 2020

"Never interrupt your enemy while he's in the process of dying of covid"

hahahahha fucking bitch

Yeah, agree with all that. This shit is JUST settling in though, coming out of the gate with “thoughts and prayers” isn’t ridiculous.

Haha that rules but Gabriel Sherman has published a lot of bullshit

yeah, shame these fuckers. all this stuff none of us can do, weddings, funerals, graduations, and they don't do shit and put others at risk.

lol Win one for Stan Chera, rip.

Out of respect for Donald Trump and everything he stood for, it is important that we respond to this news with a total lack of empathy #TrumpHasCovid
