TRUMP GOT COVID

"Boris did well out of the sympathy vote for a month or so, which is all Trump really needs."

He did not fight an election from a hospital bed.

As has been routine for months, Vice President Pence is tested for COVID-19 every day. This morning, Vice President Pence and the Second Lady tested negative for COVID-19. Vice President Pence remains in good health and wishes the Trumps well in their recovery.

Am I reading into this or does this imply that Trump WASN’T being tested every day?

xpost It sure sounds like it. Unless it's just a total coincidence that his daily test came up positive on the same day as and immediately after Hicks came up positive.

Yeah, on second thought, "sympathy vote" does seem unlikely, and not exactly part of Trump's appeal.

In this case: I hope he survives, but has lasting, life-long health consequences.

Oh, and yeah I hope he survives to lose the election obv

Guys remember that sympathy bump Hillary got in the polls in the week after she got pneumonia?

Oh wait...

What are the odds of Trump contracting the 'vid if he hadn't run for president? Like you know we wouldn't be up to 200,000 dead under Prez Hillz.

Here's hoping he's one of the unlucky ones, and that his age and mass make him susceptible to at least a few of the bad symptoms. Though the rate we're going in this country, he's going to fully recover with no symptoms in a couple of days, but all his spraying at the debate will give it to Biden, who will then die.

But really, he is the president, our president, and they should really try absolutely everything to make sure he recovers. Windex, lemon Pledge, Dr. Bronners, bronzer, ear candles ...

Leave Dr. Bronner our of this

goddamnit

out* grrr I hate this phone

Dr. Bronners will be used to wash his underwear after he shits himself so often. Also, brush his teeth, shampoo his hair, clean the sinks...

I most recently used Dr Bronner's in a solution that I sprayed on my house plants to kill gnats. I assume covid is around gnat size, I say give it a chance.

In this case: I hope he survives, but has lasting, life-long health consequences.

yup

but not that long

dies before the Electoral College meets, the GOP puts Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz on the Electoral College ballot

lol they all hate Ted Cruz

xp if getting him out of office meant getting him out of our lives I would agree, but enough of this guy already

I want him to die because then he also can't be a presence after he leaves office. If he has a stroke or whatnot, they'll just downplay his deficits and have someone ghostwrite his tweets/statements (just like they do for many of them today). Nobody will care if he dies and someone zombies his account, Herman Cain style

I hope he starts getting better, resumes campaigning hard, then has one of those sudden severe resurgences, then loses the election while in the ICU, then is indicted and handcuffed to his bed, then lives a few years longer under a cloud of criminality while under house arrest, then dies in solitude. And it's a couple of weeks before anybody notices.

I hope he holds a press conference and a turd runs down his leg

start watching to see if they are tying tight knots in his pants by his ankles.

A turd in the pants is worth two in the tush.

!

If he dies I think it's important that there be newspaper editorials saying it's immoral not to celebrate

God bless the president and the first lady. If you pray, please pray for their speedy and complete recovery — and for everyone infected, everywhere.

This virus is horrific and merciless — no one would wish its wrath on anyone.

We must get its spread under control. Enough.

— Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) October 2, 2020

Soooooo is Trump going to get a blood transfusion? And maybe tout it as a cure?

If I saw "no one would wish its wrath on anyone" on a true/false test, I would circle false.

If he shits at a press conference we’ll be seeing videos of maga fucks shaking turds out of their pants at target in response to being asked to wear masks

Just got up...stunning. Is this all based on Trump's tweet, or is there corroboration? I know that's awful to say, but how can you not think that?

imagine Rachel Maddow praying for Trump after a long day at work hyperventilating about all the lives he's destroyed

what disingenuous horseshit

can we all just appreciate this for a second

I definitely understand and sympathize with turning the other cheek and attempting to maintain basic human decency at a time when it's being rapidly siphoned out of us but Trump is where I personally draw the line with that mess. A disproportionate number of people have unnecessarily suffered and died over the past four years because of him. Let the 'vid chips fall where they may.

I guess this strikes adrenochrome off the list of potential preventive treatments

btw hold your ire for any newscaster or Dempol wishing him a "speedy recovery" or whatever, I know the man is a monster who absolutely deserves to die a painful death from this but come on you know they can't say anything else right now

besides Maddow has terminal Sorkinbrain what do you expect

Re: shitting himself in public, did y'all miss that big man has been wearing a diaper for a while now? That isn't just for the sake of fashion.

It should be noted that he's getting....

GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE

xp OL This is where I am...I talked to my kids this morning about how otherwise unseemly it would be to take satisfaction in something like this, but we're dealing with something truly exceptional. This one, terrible person whose life's work has been inflicting pain.

frogbs for sure but ppl can tick that box w/o getting all sanctimonious and performative about it—just mutter a disclaimer or whatever at the end

Some people really are super Pollyanna-ish like this; it’s not always performative.

The way Fox handles bad news about the president is not saying anything about it at all.

I'm not even someone who has a problem with R Maddow but please, her show is about 50% shadenfreude, not buying it

Even if you limit your scope to the past several days: he apparently knew he'd been exposed as of Wednesday, chose to keep a lid on Hicks's diagnosis, and continued interacting with hundreds of people as if nothing was wrong. He deserves (and has practically begged for) any terrible thing that happens to him.

was watching a bit of CNN late last night, was pretty amusing to watch Anderson Cooper (clearly upset at being woken up) talk about 1) can we really report this as news if it's just coming from Trump and 2) if they really knew Hicks was positive on Wednesday it's unfathomable that Trump wasn't tested then and if he was positive it's nearly criminally negligent for him to have done a fundraiser
