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.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 2 October 2020 12:41 (three years ago) link
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 ...

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

xp if getting him out of office meant getting him out of our lives I would agree, but enough of this guy already
― error prone wolf syndicate (Hadrian VIII), Friday, 2 October 2020 12:56 (three years ago) link
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
― LaRusso Auto (Neanderthal), Friday, 2 October 2020 12:57 (three years ago) link
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.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 2 October 2020 12:59 (three years ago) link
I hope he holds a press conference and a turd runs down his leg

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.

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.
― OrificeMax (Old Lunch), Friday, 2 October 2020 13:31 (three years ago) link
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

And see this is where, for me, it's a slightly different case than someone who is an anti-masker and went to a Trump rally and then later on goes to breathe near people.
I never thought "let them get what they deserve" about Trump anti-maskers. Because I know that they aren't just deciding for themselves based on their own risk tolerance - they're deciding for everyone they might breathe near. Effectively overriding those people's right to decide their own risk tolerance. It's fundamentally unfair and selfish.
But for a lot of people willing to get close to that loathsome man, they have chosen it and, deliberately, kept on choosing it. My concern for them, morally, is somewhat diminished.
I make an exception for those who don't have a choice. Minor children, domestic and service workers? They didn't get to buy in to a Trumpian conception of risk, but still he and his acolytes have been breathing on them for months.

apparently he and hicks got it during a big makeout party with the troops and cops
Trump called in to Hannity's show just a few hours before he announced his diagnosis on Twitter. Trump was asked about Hope Hicks and acknowledged he may have contracted covid. Then Trump said it could be because cops and troops want to hug and kiss him. https://t.co/D3SHw3PVDq pic.twitter.com/XwRjhH5ZSX— Matt Novak (@paleofuture) October 2, 2020

It's tricky because I am realizing that the degree to which I am a bad person is in a very precise and narrow band.
I am pretty much ok with Trump, Trump enablers, and Trump supporters suffering. Not least because they are responsible for immense amounts of suffering theirownselves. I don't necessarily want them to die, but I confess that part of the reason I want them to live is for them to experience consequences, up to and including awareness of their culpability.
What I do NOT want, and have never wanted, is for innocent folks around them to suffer and/or die.
My feelings about this have layers, like an onion. As for this -
it’s very, very hard when you are with people from the military or for law enforcement, and they come over to you, and they want to hug you, and they want to kiss you, because we really have done a good job for them
- oh god, do we need more "grab em by the pussy" discussion? No. I don't think so.
