Rolling COVID-19 Notably Infected and/or Fallen Thread

arguably he (along with Palin and some others) helped set the stage for trump just by helping make the whole thing even more of a weirdo circus than yr standard GOP contest

His contempt for everyone around him is what struck me at the time.

(xpost) Totally; the whole 2012 Republican debacle was a practice run for Trump. (I'll mention this yet again: I argued on here at the time that Gingrich was a lot closer to winning that nomination than anybody thought, but others said no, the party and fundraising always controls these things in the end. For 2012, technically correct; four years later, not at all.)

if you are an influential public figure and you use your platform to be dismissive of the risk of covid you are signing a contract that it's ok for people to laugh at you if you die of covid. it's not very tasteful but that's just one of the many reasons not to sign the contract

Man, the floodgates will open when Trump kicks the can. There will be some solemn lip service on the news or whatever, but I predict people will spill out onto the streets like it's V-Day.

Looking forward to it so I can come on to ILX and troll people like Mordy did when Thatcher died.

a virus knows no morals

otherwise Gohmert will already be dead

True. And speaking of shitty Texan fascists, I would really love for the virus to fell Chip Roy and Ken Paxton.

...and Dan Patrick and Abbott and Crenshaw and...

Hey let's not forget Cornyn and Cruz while we're building our death pool.

Death is NOT to be celebrated. There are only about....idk, 10,000 exceptions worldwide. (Lots of strong suggestions so far)

I have a colleague at work who simply can't process for example that I am 100% against the death penalty in all cases, but was happy when Thatcher died

Have you explicitly told them that death and killing are not the same thing?

the Lord said that wishing someone is dead is the same as murder so

xps was hoping that was the song from the Evangelion movie, disappointed

xps ha no, can't be bothered

James Chance and his longtime partner Judy Taylor "have both been severely affected by personal health issues and the COVID situation"

oh no

Reading between the lines here but it looks like neither is infected and/or fallen due to Covid-19 but that different health issues coupled with lockdown means they are unable to financially support themselves.

How's Louis Gohmert doing?

Laying low.

his head is in Texas, the rest of his body is hiding out in North Dakota

Claimed he was cured with Hydroxychloroquine.

more likely "in" than "with"
