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

Ha ha Stephen Miller, just when I thought all the best ones had gone.

xp to caek: they aren't

not unless they run as Democrats

Even Stephen Miller's wife can't stand to be around him long enough to infect him.

ha, right. xp

Georgia, Virginia, Arizona come to mind as Dem-trending states where the remaining GOP electorate has turned far-right. https://t.co/AaiZaIun03

don't get too excited folks, there may be no difference between Miller's RNA and the Rona

imho the Romnoids could do just fine in suburbs that are tilting back to Biden just because Trump has proven slightly too uncouth and unreliable. like depending on the gerrymander, those areas may or may not include enough batshit Q-zones to put the trump devotees over in primaries.

post-2012 - the Republicans are so doomed nationally they have their internal consultants tell them to move to the center and stop being racist
during the 2016 election you have Republican operatives complaining that Trump is going to lose like Goldwater 1964

Projecting the future in the face of climate disaster and continuing immiseration seems pointless.

Strange bedfellows indeed...

Goldman Sachs: A Democratic sweep would mean faster economic recovery
Just hours after Trump's all-caps Monday morning tweet predicting economic disaster, Goldman economists pointed out that polls "suggest a 'blue wave' in which Democrats gain unified control of Washington is becoming more likely" -- and they're not suggesting investors dump stocks.
In fact, "all else equal, such a blue wave would likely prompt us to upgrade our forecasts," Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius wrote in a Monday report...

really not that strange

The least strange thing of October 2020

How is Rudy doing? Dead yet?

Just smells like he is

And how about Pence? How has he escaped covid's wrath (besides prayer)?

Chris Christie is still in the hospital.

funny that you ask, pence has been cleared for tomorrow's debate by both his own doctor and CDC, which should be humiliated

Vice President Pence was cleared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to participate in the debate Wednesday night against Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.).

CDC Director Robert Redfield wrote in a memo that he consulted with Pence’s physician and concluded that Pence wasn’t in close contact to anyone contagious. Pence was at the Rose Garden ceremony for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. At least seven people who had been at that event have tested positive for the coronavirus.

“Based on the descriptions of the movements of the Vice President ... the Vice President is not a close contact of any known person with covid-19, including the president,” Redfield wrote.

Since Friday, when Trump’s diagnosis was disclosed, Pence’s coronavirus tests have all come back negative. Redfield cites the negative tests and the physician’s conclusions to determine “from a public health standpoint, it is safe for the Vice President to participate in the upcoming Vice-Presidential debate.”

forgot to add the covidbeams from the bottom (where trump was) and to the far right (where still-hospitalized chris christie was)

Christie only went into the hospital to chill out and hide from the press, though, "still" doesn't mean anything.

is that Ben Sasse with his mask on below his nose?

masks are incredibly complicated and hard

Pence’s head about to explode in that photo!!

Miller is the sweetest one yet

(aside from the obvious)

this is honestly even sweeter to me

^ yeah

Yeah he’s hard to top. I think it would be great to see Barr fall ill aswell, and plus he’s older so there’s a greater chance of him finally facing a measure of accountability

Miller is ideological, Trump is not, and he's the only one who's managed to stay in the administration, exercising his agenda, for four years

feeling y'all on this, and yeah Barr would be great

please god if you are there smite this asshole

Barr and Mitch would be very very satisfying, yes; I assume McConnell has been more cautious than Barr about reducing his risk.

Miller's my no. 3 behind 1) Barr and 2) the other one

Superman in on the Rose Garden covid action

OK but people voted in their father.

So I guess this answer's my question way upthread that Stephen Miller's wife (Pence's spokesperson) who tested positive back in May did not transfer it to him. Most likely because their marriage is a facade but I don't want to prop-shame anyone.

pence's no chicks policy might have saved his life

Miller is the sweetest one yet

Some call him the pompatus of coronavirus.

I agree with others that the glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel has made social media, if not life, just that much more bearable.

it would be awesome if Trump loses and then all these people immediately drop dead.

Hoping they don't breathe on their housekeepers

Apologies if this was posted earlier I can't quite keep up

I mean, it's Miranda Devine to be fair. The Fox anchor can't quite believe it either.

i think it's incredibly selfish of old people to insist on coming out of their basements so they can frequent bars and restaurants and churches at the literal expense of safely opening schools.

Scum, in a word.

NEW: “We need to take away children,” AG Sessions told prosecutors, according to a draft DOJ IG report. That statement contradicts Sessions’ previous claim that “we never really intended” to separate children. w/@shearm @ktbenner https://t.co/938OvsSuus

kinda like how God tells you he has a plan, and it'll only work if little Timmy dies on Friday

for the timeline geeks among us:

Remember when Trump blamed military and law enforcement for Hope Hicks getting COVID? It never made sense why she, and now him, would blame military personnel for giving it to them. Well...did you know there was a Gold Star Mother's Day event at the White House on Sunday?

— Fred Wellman (@FPWellman) October 6, 2020

After receiving the best socialized health care in the world Trump just said "no" to providing any relief to the unemployed, the uninsured or the hungry. But he's still pushing the Senate to confirm a Supreme Court nominee who will strip health care from 20 million. How pathetic.

man, just put Bernie on TV and let him campaign

congratulation to America on getting its very own Miranda Devine and it turning out to be Miranda Devine

Even Stephen Miller's wife can't stand to be around him long enough to infect him.

Underrated post

At least Bernie should write Biden's tweets
