TRUMP GOT COVID

In a climate where the surreal is a near constant, I still found it incredibly surreal how Trump released this high production value, slick propaganda film of his helecopter return to the White House, only to then release a video in which he says stuff like “Maybe I’m immune, I don’t know!” It’s as though in the middle of Triumph of the Will there was a Hitler speech in which he as-libbed “Jews, I mean you can’t live with em...”

The weird thing is that for the past few weeks one of my top comforting fantasies to get myself to sleep at night is imagining being in control of an insect-sized drone that goes around infecting Trump and his circle with Covid. And here it is. Maybe The Secret actually does work.

@ABC confirms a military aide responsible for carrying the 'nuclear football' tested positive over the weekend and traveled with the president last Thursday to New Jersey per @Santucci @KFaulders

lmao finally a good Hitler joke

since Christie's still in the hospital I wanna pass along this anecdote. I'd find the source but come on, when you read it you'll know it's true. Anyway during the debate prep where he presumably caught this he was advising Trump to interrupt Biden a lot, because Biden has a stutter and when you have a stutter apparently you have much more difficulty regaining your train of thought, which would make Biden seem senile. guy seems a lot more personable than the others but he's just as shitty.

Miller dying relatively young would make it sweeter.

guy seems a lot more personable than the others

I take it you didn't follow New Jersey politics too closely

come on now, even his hijinks are like, Wile E Coyote level funny

he used to publicly shit on teachers all the time. he was a complete asshole. It's true that bridgegate and beachgate were funny as far as scandals go, but there was nothing likeable about him.

there's nothing likeable about any GOP politician really, all you can ask is that the scandals are at least amusing

lol man they really did go all out portraying him as this no-nonsense alpha dog straight shooter, a guy who could steer the party in the post-Bush era

and it all amounted to... this. and I bet he thinks it’s all because he hugged Obama

Bridge gate actually killed ppl iirc. Beach gate was funny

bridge gate was unfunny and infuriating

On Monday, the White House Management Office sent out an email to senior staff who routinely interact with Trump, aimed at protecting both the president and his advisers. The memo, obtained by The Washington Post, urges staffers to “limit all foot traffic on the first floor of the West Wing as well as in the Residence” and says that “staff should only go to the Oval Office or the second floor Residence when they are requested and expected.”

For staffers who do visit the Oval Office or the second floor of the residence, where Trump lives and holds meetings, and who expect to be within six feet of the president, the memo also requires that they wash their hands or use hand sanitizer before entering; remove any outer garments; and don personal protective equipment provided in an “Isolation Cart” — including a yellow gown, surgical mask, protective eyewear and gloves.

The White House has not changed its mask guidance and is still following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines that recommend, but do not require, wearing a mask. Several administration officials said nearly everyone in the White House has been wearing a mask in recent days, including Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, who usually does not sport one.

Several former administration officials said they were appalled at the president’s conduct over the past few days, as well as the behavior of the people around him. One such official described Trump’s decision to leave the hospital Sunday for a ride in his presidential limo, which required two Secret Service agents to be in the car with him, as “so monstrously wrong.”

“In my lifetime, it was the most appalling thing I’ve seen a president do for a political stunt,” the former official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to share a candid opinion. “It’s genuinely unhinged.”

this same official, i assume, was around a couple weeks ago when trump had protesters tear-gassed so he could hold a bible in the air

i hear he's decreasingly isolated

Lolz

the problem is that he's not isolated enough

lol tracer

I was going to say! Bridgegate was preceeded by 6? years of Christie showing up at townhall meetings and belittling and yelling at teachers and other middle class and lower class people who had the temerity to ask questions he didn't like. I hope his bleached fucking carcass washes up on LBI very soon.

bit harsh on ilx poster le bateau ivre tbh

lol

It stands to reason that a bleached carcass could wash up on a drunken boat.

lol, for non-Americans, LBI = Long Beach Island, a popular New Jersey beach town.

Oh right. Where Snoop Dogg is from.

exactly

okay folks, you have my word - I will never say another good thing about Chris Christie again. speaking of, how's he doing?

no, Snoop Dogg is from Long Beach, California. know your Snoop facts!

Wrong Beach.

omg maybe he will get rabies, too!

How very!

Pssh, like bots can even catch covid.

!

what exactly is he doing right now? just namesearching on Twitter?

Haha, wonder if he ever just punches in "Trump" in the search box.

lolling at the image of a parallel universe LBI Snoop that takes on the style of old money Jersey WASPs (or maybe of shore townies)

Parallel-universe Jersey-Shore Snoop released Darkness on the Edge of Town instead of Tha Doggfather.

Oh say can you see by the dawn's early choad

so easy to hate

Haha, wonder if he ever just punches in "Trump" in the search box.

i would guess the puts "president trump" in, to improve the chances of it being a compliment. or just "Best. President. Ever." when he wants to check out his bots

that account he retweeted, though, has over 200K followers! a good chunk of which are probably bots

"president trump sir"

search:"Donald Trump" AND president
