Breaking: Trump and Melania Have Covid (Part 2)

The previous thread...

Thanks, OP!

My pleasure, R2. Don't think I've EVER been happier to start a thread!

Is it a fatal strain?

Asking for a friend.

Sources cited by The New York Times on Friday say he is experiencing mild symptoms. On Wednesday evening, he fell asleep on Air Force one on the way back from Minnesota, the source claimed, which is unusual for the president, who tends to tweet and talk with aides during flights.

Also, his rally in Minnesota that night was unusually short by Trump standards – about 45 minutes. His campaign events typically run at least twice that long, clocking in at 90 minutes or more. Other Trump aides told Bloomberg News that Trump was ‘feeling poorly’ on Wednesday but they thought it was because of his intense campaign schedule. The president seemed exhausted, one person said. It's unclear if Melania is suffering any symptoms.

Joe Biden, Trump's 77-year-old opponent who he debated on Tuesday night, is being tested on Friday morning. He wished Trump and Melania a speedy recovery in a tweet on Friday morning.

Vice President Mike Pence - who would take over from Trump in the event that he becomes incapacitated - has tested negative as has Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin.

It remains unclear whether any other members of the Trump family have been tested, or what the results of those tests are.

If Trump becomes seriously ill, there are constitutional procedures that would allow Vice President Mike Pence to assume power temporarily, just weeks before the November 3 election. But if Trump suffers mild or no symptoms, the president would be able to tout his recovery as evidence that the virus is a less grave threat than many believe.

[quote]and Pence says he's negative

Well we already knew that.

Oh, you meant negative for COVID. Sorry.

Have the markets reacted? I don't care that they have it nor do I celebrate them having it. We are all susceptible, after all. I am concerned about an economic system collapse. I also have concerns about what this revelation will mean for the upcoming election. I cannot rejoice over someone else's misfortune.

[quote]Trump was ‘feeling poorly’ on Wednesday

Great, feeling poorly Wednesday after screaming at Biden for a couple of hours the night before. Fantastic.

Saturday, September 26: Trump announces his Supreme Court pick at the White House, then travels to a rally in Pennsylvania with aides including Hope Hicks.

Sunday, September 27: The president plays golf in Virginia, gives a press conference in the White House briefing room and hosts a reception for Gold Star families.

Monday, September 28: Trump gives a press briefing and inspects pickup vehicles on the White House lawn.

Tuesday, September 29: Hicks is aboard Air Force One with the president and Melania to travel to the first presidential debate in Cleveland. Hicks is seen leaving the jet without a mask.

The president spars with Joe Biden in a chaotic debate. Trump family members do not wear masks during the debate, violating venue rules.

Wednesday, September 30: Hicks travels on Marine One and on Air Force One to a rally in Minnesota Wednesday.

She is understood to have felt poorly on the way back, quarantining on the presidential plane to get home.

Thursday, October 1: Trump still travels to New Jersey for a fundraiser. Hicks tests positive.

Trump says he is awaiting test results, before confirming he and wife Melania have tested positive for Covid-19.

Friday, October 2: A political rally in Sanford, Florida is cancelled.

Hope the rumors of Barron living with Melania's parents outside the White House are true, and he's not there. Though he's young, if he caught it from Melania, he could spread it to her parents.

[quote]It remains unclear whether any other members of the Trump family have been tested, or what the results of those tests are.

They sat next to Melania and no one had a mask on, and they traveled with them as well, so they'll be lucky if they don't get it.

So will Chris Wallace, he was sitting close to the Trumps.

Did I hear right that Trump is still going to meet with senior citizens today?

[quote]I don't care that they have it nor do I celebrate them having it. We are all susceptible, after all.

He is probably the most protected man on the face of the earth. He got it not because he’s out in public, or an essential worker like us poor schlubs, he got it because he flouts the doctors’ and scientists’ advice.

[quote]I am concerned about an economic system collapse.

The markets didn’t collapse after Kennedy was shot. I doubt they’ll collapse now, especially since he’s not even dead.

[quote] If you had to pick one of these two to meet the grim reaper, who would you choose? tRump or McConnell. I think I'd go with McConnell.

Oh McConnell, definitely.

We're on the way to kicking Trump to the curb but McConnell still stands a good chance to being reelected, so that's one way to get rid of him. Plus, the evil he has perpetrated on this country is far reaching. He deserves to get very, very sick.

Unfortunately, KY is full of idiots who will vote for him even if he does die before election day.

Sorry, my mistake at R14, it's a phone call.

I guess he's going to try to prove he's not sick with an announcement tonight, too. That'll be fun and not a disaster at all.

Of course, anyone with that kind of medical attention at their disposal will be minimally affected by it.

Melania and Barron have their own suite - on a different floor of the White House.

r20, they have never lived at the White House. They live with her parents in Maryland. They had their own floor at Trump Tower.

[quote] Monday, September 28: Trump gives a press briefing and inspects pickup vehicles on the White House lawn.

What the hell was this all about?

Man, Tiffany is one funny looking cunt.

Jim Acosta: A source familiar with Trump’s Tuesday Oval Office meeting with his coronavirus task force said the president is still not demonstrating that he has a firm grasp of the severity of the pandemic in the US.

“He still doesn’t get it,” the source said. “He does not get it.”

Fox News:

TRUMP V. COVID

Haha

r24, he's a 4 year old and really into trucks and tractors and fire engines.

[quote] Of course, anyone with that kind of medical attention at their disposal will be minimally affected by it.

Not true. For one, there’s some times medical intervention cannot help and do you think Boris Johnson was “minimally affected”?

Is that a touch of pinkeye I see?

I love you, r28!

R20 I got that info from someone inside the White House.

It's hard to tell r30.

He always looks like shit

Biden wishes a swift recovery for the Trumps

From CNN’s Sarah Mucha and Arlette Saenz

Following President Trump's positive coronavirus test, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden wished Trump and first lady Melania Trump "a swift recovery."

Biden is expected to get tested for coronavirus this morning, according to a source familiar with his plans. Trump and Biden shared the debate stage Tuesday night during the first presidential debate.

[quote]McConnell still stands a good chance to being reelected

He will be reelected specifically for the reason you said (KY is full of idiots), but it won't matter if he becomes the minority leader and the Dem majority can undo some of the damage of that odious reptile.

The only thing I want is for Dems to completely ignore and mute him. Listen to not one syllable that comes out of his ugly face. The moment Dems have power, get rid of the filibuster, expand the SC and make PR and DC states. If the Dems have the majority, shut out those flying monkeys. Treat the GOP as if they don't exist.

Trump kept a busy public diary in the pandemic. Putin installed walk-through disinfectant tunnels

From CNN's Nathan Hodge and Mary Ilyushina

Over months of the coronavirus pandemic, US President Donald Trump has kept to a busy schedule, packed with campaign rallies and public events. The contrast with Russian President Vladimir Putin could not be more stark: The authoritarian leader Trump admires so much is living in a bubble.

For most of the pandemic, Putin has been following a strict work-from-home regimen, running the affairs of state largely by videoconference. And the Kremlin has taken extreme measures to guard the health of the man who has run Russia for two decades.

Guarding Putin's health: Putin's primary base during the pandemic, according to his press office and extensive state television coverage, has been Novo-Ogaryovo, his residence outside Moscow. As early as April, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov made it clear that new measures had been put in place to protect the president: Everyone meeting with Putin, he said, would be tested for Covid-19, and all appointments with the leader would be held with social distancing in place.

The Kremlin went farther than just social distancing. In June, Peskov confirmed that special disinfectant tunnels had been installed in the Kremlin and at Novo-Ogaryovo as a defense against the spread of the virus. The same month, Putin went ahead with holding a postponed Victory Day parade in the middle of the pandemic. Dozens of WWII veterans who sat next to the president on the stands had to quarantine for two weeks.

[quote] Hicks had joined the president on the trip and felt poorly on the way home, according to reports

In fairness to her, she could've just thought it was fatigue from all the travel.

But I can't go to the Metropolitan Museum or MoMA without having my temperature taken so, if anyone was feverish, how could they possibly have been allowed on the plane? I understand you can't kick the president or the first lady off Air Force One, but any underling should've been sent to the nearest Super 8 for 14 days

Good spot, r30.

Though it could just be “bleary eyes” from being lethargic and traveling.

Or that could be the reason he’s having a phone call presser today instead of a videoconference.

r37, they have not been following any of the protocols.

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin tests negative

From CNN's Phil Mattingly

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who has had in person meetings with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, tested negative for the virus on Friday morning, according to his spokesperson Monica Crowley. He will continue to be tested daily.

The WH said he has “mild symptoms” which means it’s probably getting bad.

Not everyone who gets covid gets a fever. Even severe cases can present without a fever.

WHO director-general wishes "speedy recovery" for Trump and First Lady

From CNN Health's Jacqueline Howard

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the World Health Organization's (WHO) director-general, wished President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump a "full and speedy recovery" in a Twitter post on Friday

In May, Trump announced the decision to withdraw the United States from WHO. The withdrawal, which goes into effect July 6, 2021, has drawn criticism from some bipartisan lawmakers, medical associations, advocacy groups and allies abroad.

[quote]Hope the rumors of Barron living with Melania's parents outside the White House are true, and he's not there. Though he's young, if he caught it from Melania, he could spread it to her parents.

I rly don't care, do u?

YOU CAN BE ASYMPTOMATIC YOU DUMB CUNTS!!!! AND SPREAD IT TO EVERYONE!

esp the young people and kids.

Ronna Romney McDaniel tested positive on Wednesday night. She’s the head of the RNC so there’s no doubt she’s met with a ton of people in the past few days. Queen Covid finna take out the entire Republican Party! Bless her!

Is anyone on DL really saying you don't spread it if you're asymptomatic?

[quote] I understand you can't kick the president or the first lady off Air Force One, but any underling should've been sent to the nearest Super 8 for 14 days.

The president usually travels with an entourage and if there’s a motorcade, the Beast is flown on different aircraft, etc. They should’ve flown her back on a different plane.

At least 11 tested positive for Covid-19 at US Secret Service center in August, New York Times reports

From CNN's Veronica Stracqualursi

The US Secret Service was hit with a coronavirus outbreak in August at its training center in Maryland when at least 11 people tested positive for the virus, according to a report by The New York Times.

Some employees at the facility were thought to have contracted the virus during training exercises and at a graduation party at a nearby hotel where they did not practice social distancing, the Times reported Friday, citing officials with knowledge of the matter.

CNN has reached out to the Secret Service for comment.

The agency declined to give the Times specifics of the outbreak at its training center in Laurel, Maryland, but told the newspaper in a statement that it "has taken significant precautions at its training center to protect the health and welfare of its trainees and training staff."

[quote]Ronna Romney McDaniel tested positive on Wednesday night.

Couldn't have happened to a cuntier cunt!

Nancy assures continuity of government.

The one I’d most like to see catch it at this moment is Judge Amy. That evil witch will fuck us over for a generation once she is installed. Did she meet with Trump and Hicks?

"Your inherent vitality, good spirits and optimism will help you cope," Putin says to Trump

From CNN's Schams Elwazer, Zahra Ullah, Anna Chernova and Gul Tuysuz

Germany's Chancellor and Russia's President are the latest world leaders to react to the news that US President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for Covid-19.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday sent Trump a telegram wishing the couple a speedy recovery. "I am sure that your inherent vitality, good spirits and optimism will help you cope with the dangerous virus,” the Russian President said according to a Kremlin readout of the telegram. "

German Chancellor Angela Merkel sent her "best wishes to Donald and Melania Trump. I hope that you will get over the corona infection and will soon be completely healthy again," according to spokesman Steffen Seibert.

Was this the OCTOBER SURPRISE?

Mike Pompeo and wife test negative for coronavirus

From CNN's Daniel Allman

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he and his wife Susan have tested negative for Covid-19.

“I’m feeling fantastic,” he told reporters, adding that he had not interacted with President Donald Trump since the so-called Abraham Accords on September 15 (the diplomatic agreement signed between Israel, the UAE and Bahrain at the White House), citing his own travel schedule.

“We are praying for the President and First Lady that they’ll have a speedy recovery," Pompeo said.

“I spoke with the Vice President’s office this morning as well. We’re taking this obviously very seriously. And we’ll do everything we can to keep everyone safe, including you all.”

This is the fourth time that Pompeo has been tested in the last two and a half weeks.

The State Department is still evaluating whether he will continue his planned trip to Florida on Saturday and Asia on Sunday but his schedule in Croatia remains as planned.

These negative tests this morning really mean nothing. The doctor last night said a positive wouldn't show up until 5 to 10 days after exposure.

[quote] they have not been following any of the protocols

R39 that is exactly what needs to be the takeaway from all this. Like those religious fanatics (of all faiths) who think they're exempt from the rules, these people think protocols don't affect them.

Whether we like it or not these assholes are running the government. This isn't like running out to Starbucks in January without a coat, knowingly exposing the president of the United States to a potentially deadly virus (whether or not we like the particular POTUS) is unconscionable.

This made my day. I hope he dies.

Trump supporters need to be banned until we can figure out what the hell is going on. We need to register them.

How world leaders are reacting to the news Trump tested positive for Covid-19

World leaders are starting to react this morning to the news that US President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for Covid-19.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson sent his "best wishes" to the presidential couple. Johnson spent several days in an intensive care unit after being diagnosed with Covid-19 in April.

Speaking in a conference call with journalists on Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, “We certainly wish President Trump a speedy recovery.”

Peskov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to get vaccinated and when he does, the Kremlin will make an announcement.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan also wished the Trumps a "speedy recovery."

Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also sent "best wishes" from the "people of Taiwan."

The President of the European Council Charles Michel said Covid-19 is "a battle we all continue to fight."

The President of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, Nechirvan Barzani, said his "thoughts and prayers" are with the first couple.

Afghanistan’s Abdullah Abdullah, the Chairman of the High Council for National Reconciliation, wished the couple a "speedy recovery."

@neeratanden When I was first sick, I thought it wasn’t so bad. I did not think that way at all after day 10.

[quote] Peskov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to get vaccinated and when he does, the Kremlin will make an announcement.

Wasn’t this idiot touting a Russian vaccine last month? Are we really to believe if it’s so effective he hasn’t taken it yet? Hmmmmm.

“This is the worst nightmare for the Trump campaign.”

I suspect Trump wants to do a TV appearance today before the symptoms get really bad, which they probably will in about 5-7 days.

Hu Xijin, the outspoken editor of the state-owned Chinese Global Times newspaper, tweeted in English that Trump and the first lady had paid the price for his gamble to play down the pandemic.

The Tokyo governor, Yuriko Koike, speaking at a weekly news conference, did not mention Trump’s reluctance to wear masks when asked about his infection, but said the news reminded him of how widely masks are worn in Japan.

Rona grabbed him by the p*ssy ??

This could be his excuse to drop out of the election since he knows he can't win. The WH has lied for four years and I don't see that stopping now.

R64, he’s doing a teleconference only today. Makes me think he’s already not looking good. Otherwise he’d do a video conference.

this means he will lose the election! yay!

he won't be able to campaign !!

Ronna McDaniel, the RNC chairwoman, tested positive for the coronavirus on Wednesday, multiple sources say. She has mild symptoms. She was last with POTUS last Friday and has been in Michigan since then.

Ronna has the 'rona

This thing progresses. First you feel like you have a cold. Then the flu symptoms hit, then if you’re unlucky you get pneumonia. I had it back in April and had a mild case that “only” progressed to a mild flu and it was hell on earth for a week. And I was tired for a month after that, all the time. I cannot even out into words how fatigued I was some days.

If Trump is symptomatic the 25th amendment needs to be invoked. The POTUS cannot be sick in bed with 103 degree fever.

[quote] If Trump is symptomatic the 25th amendment needs to be invoked. The POTUS cannot be sick in bed with 103 degree fever.

I agree.

Let this be a lesson for all of the GOP. Their downplaying and lying about Covid is coming back to bite them.

I can't think of a more deserving "reward" for the most evil people.

Outside if his shit base, him lying about this does not benefit the very man who was supposed to take the lead on this, knew how deadly it was and still mocked his opponent for taking it seriously just a few days ago.

It is in no way a winning strategy to lie about having the very thing you mocked from the beginning and if it is a "lie," he is expected to play along. You honestly believe he can stay in the WH for two weeks?

Everyone knows he doesn't take it seriously and he's constantly around tons of people with no mask and no SD, specifically because he's careless. I'm only surprised it took this long.

Maybe Trump gave it to Hope Hicks. hah

It was fascinating to watch 10 minutes of Fox News last night. They were constantly showing Trump wearing a mask and talking about all the precautions he and the First Lady have taken.

Shouldn't we just gas the lot of 'em to be on the safe side?

Fox is frantically trying to rewrite history.

He has gotten over a million likes for that tweet announcing it when the most he normally gets is about 100-200K. You honestly believe they're mostly well-wishers? Hell no.

Lying about this does not benefit him. People hate his guts and one of those reasons is his handling of this pandemic.

It is what it is.

[quote] Maybe Trump gave it to Hope Hicks. hah

That's not far-fetched. Or a third party could've infected them both. He may have felt lousy but thought it was just the stress of the debates. After all, he looked feverish and was sweaty up there on the stage.

Hicks just could've been the first domino to fall

The only thing I hate about all of this is that because sooo many people are tweeting about it, I'm missing a lot of funny reactions. It's overwhelming.

[quote]She was last with POTUS last Friday

Ronna may have given it to him, or they both caught it from someone at that Friday event. If so, he would have likely been asymptomatic but contagious during Tuesday's debate.

Super-morbidly obese Chris Christie says no masks were worn during his debate prep with the president. I'd be very concerned if I were him. He tweets this am:

"I want to thank all who have called and texted in the last few hours to check on my health. I feel fine and have no symptoms. I was last tested for COVID on Tuesday (it was neg) and was tested this morning. No results until tomorrow. I will let you know the results from here."

No way this is a lie. He does not benefit him at all:

@rezaaslan In case you forgot, two days ago a scientific report came out demonstrating that Donald Trump is THE single biggest source of Covid misinformation. Might want to add that bit of info into your thoughts and prayers.

I only watched the beginning of the Tuesday shitshow, but when he came on stage, I remarked to myself how terrible he looked. Even for him, his face looked sullen and low, very craggy, his hair was uncharacteristically blown out as opposed to tamped down. He seriously looked ill....

"Hope the clown and his Slovenian whore get better."

i thought he looked fatter than ever at the debate and very bad make up. He seemed sharp mentally, didn't look tired to me.

Miss Lindsay and Bitch McConnell better come down with it too.

Breaking: Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner test negative for the coronavirus

From CNN's Kate Bennett

Both the President's daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner tested negative for the coronavirus Friday morning, a White House official tells CNN.

The President's youngest son, Barron Trump, has also tested negative for the coronavirus.

No chance Jared doesn’t have it. He was walking side by side with Hicks, both maskless.

Now that Melania has to quarantine, Barron is free to masturbate any time he wants.

R92, yes, but have we proved for certain that Jared is human and not an android?

I hope the hair loss symptom hits him especially hard.

Maybe Jared doesn't have it YET...it can take a few days

[quote]Maybe Jared doesn't have it YET...it can take a few days

Being near someone with the virus is not a guarantee that you'll come down with it.

R22 pix..... such an arrogant bunch. No regard for the message that sends.

Everyone who came into contact with anyone who tests positive for the virus should quarantine for 14 days.

[quote] Hope the clown

Yeah, her too

They only announced trump is positive because they have to. They’ll cover up anyone else who has it. No chance Trump got it but Jared and ivanka didn’t. Anyone on marine one or who was in that debate prep room has it.

But are we all in agreement the election will go forward?

I had it in August...He may have "mild" symptoms today, but just wait a day or two.

Have Trump supporters managed to blame Sorors yet or claim Hicks was secretly paid by Soros?

Soros*

R102, if they try to delay it, THEN people will believe his diagnosis is a hoax. If they try to do anything in any way that further benefits Trump. people will doubt it's real. That' why I don't believe it's a lie.

China, R104/105

[quote] Remember: China gave this virus to our President @realDonaldTrump and First Lady @FLOTUS

WE MUST HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

Suddenly there is God so quickly!

I don't trust the "Trump is faking it" narrative at all for one reason: we've had ten separate threads insisting Trump is faking it, all started within the past two hours.

I don't think he's faking it! I think he is sick. But I think at first they were desperate to keep it quiet. And they thought they might get away with it.

Governor Cuomo of NY sends just his "thoughts" but not his "prayers".

R107, I read shit like that and just wonder when the fuck the south is going to get above two-digit IQ points. It is amazing how embarrassingly stupid they are that they allow such ignorance to represent them.

R111. Love it!

Kimberly Guilfoyle is thrilled at this news!

WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to make a statement "shortly."

Well, okay, maybe they're not faking it. But the timing is spectacular, coming on the heels of Donnie's shout out to the white supremacist militias and the recording of Melania trashing immigrant children and Christmas.

WNYC says he’s showing symptoms. His campaign is effectively over. There will be no more in person debates. He will not be able to recover from a two week break with 33 days left.

I’m really hoping that somehow this scuttles his supreme court nomination.

The election is happening R102, it’s in the constitution, the dates are set in stone for both the revealing of the winner and the transfer of power. Trump dead or not, the election will not be stopped.

I hope his Presidency and the GOP go down in flames.

No, you're just same and rational, r120

The Right took a break from praising a 17 year old white Supremacist kid who murdered 2 innocent people with an AR-15 and loving Nazis to condemn people for not showing sympathy for the Trumps.

Well, first of all R118, both Cunty Barrett and McTurtle should immediately be put in quarantine for two weeks since they’ve recently been with him.

Well, first of all R118, both Cunty Barrett and McTurtle should immediately be put in quarantine for two weeks since they’ve recently been with him.

Why is the Biden campaign being tight lipped right now?

Even his campaign manager is lying with this brief.

..."practices the campaign has long encouraged: wear a mask"...

Grim Reaper, stand down but stand by.

Mark Meadows: "Presidents is feeling very mild symptoms ... good spirits ... very energetic."

Dems need to refuse to be in any committee meeting with any Republican who was exposed to Trump. Yell it throughout the halls of Congress.

I’m looking forward this afternoon to what Briana Keilar has to say about this.

[quote]No regard for the message that sends.

It's a very calculated message they are sending.

"Did you read Kelly Loeffler's tweet Melania! I knew that wasn't just a ceremonial tea set it that box!"

Is the nation praying for its speedy recovery? 😆

Very mild symptoms = fat fuck's in trouble. Why is Chief of Staff briefing when POTUS could do it himself to show he's fine?

I like R78 's Controlled Burn theory.

They aren’t going to admit he’s really sick. It’s a national security issue. Plus they’ve lied about his health for four years, why stop now?

[quote]“This is the worst nightmare for the Trump campaign.”

The worst nightmare is having someone like Trump as a candidate.

This is all so meta!

He’s already in his pink onesie watching his Fox News Screens and E-A-T-I-N-G!!!

Is he dead yet?

If any right-winger mentions "compassion" then just tell them "RBG sends her love"

If he dies, he will still continue to fight and defeat the infidel liberals. We've seen this before.

I've seen a few people tweeting ghostly images of Herman Cain to Repugs complaining about compassion.

Trump -- liar, fraud, racist, misogynist, and...bug-chaser!

Trump: "I sucked in the debate? My taxes are public? I know! I'll get the Chinese Virus. Melanie, too! Then we'll recover without a scratch. That'll show the voters how "real" we are."

From Chris Christie:

"I was at the White House from Saturday afternoon through lunchtime on Tuesday, on and off during those days. I was tested every day I went to the White House," Christie said. "The last test I took was on Tuesday morning and I was negative, and I'm going to get a test this morning to see if that status has changed. I feel fine, I don't feel any symptoms at this time, and I obviously hope it remains that way."

Christie said there were about five or six people helping with debate prep, including Trump's personal lawyer, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

[quote]If Trump is symptomatic the 25th amendment needs to be invoked. The POTUS cannot be sick in bed with 103 degree fever.

You don't invoke the 25th Amendment for a temporary illness; that's only for a longer-term or permanent incapacitation. If Trump is in the hospital, Pence is in charge until Trump returns.

It’s spreading anally like wild fire through the White House. They don’t need masks🎭, they need condoms!

He’s been sick and POZ BEFORE the debate. At MINIMUM, 7-10 days, and here’s how I know:

He was already in poor health and definitely presenting symptoms on the evening of the debate.

I recall watching him, and as I shared on one of the many threads announcing this here posted here repetitively (ugh), I was shocked how markedly thinner her appeared from just a few weeks back. And I also observed that he indeed did struggle with breath and appeared like a person who had just taken a steroid shot, which I’ve had administered to myself by my doctors when I had tested positive for and was experiencing symptoms for an autoimmune disorder called Myasthenia Graves.

The onset of the symptoms I had affected my eye muscles, my ability to hold up my neck, my ability to swallow food, and my ability to use my diaphragm correctly or normally, while breathing on and out.

What stuck out to me about his breathing g was that he did some of the same stuff I did. We don’t think about using our diaphragms as we go through our daily activities, unless we are trained to do so as singers, public orators, or athletes. We do become aware of flexing this muscle in higher altitudes and when we are running out of stamina, as was explained to me by my physicians. So when I first started presenting, and got diagnosed, it was suggested that I get on a steroid protocol so that I could continue my daily activities as I normally would. I got a shot of it the first day (when the doc wrote the scrip), and I drove to the office, and remember bashing my teeth like trump do.

Steroids don’t make you feel high, but they make you feel hyper aggressive and they make tYou tense up and purse your mouth or clench your jaw and grind your teeth.

As the day wore on, and the medication also did, I remember getting the feeling of being winded as I spoke. And I had to do stuff like hold myself upright at my desk if I was having a meeting or a conference call, because it would get difficult to breathe AND rely solely on my core muscles to stand upright without using my arms to prop myself up. He did that on the podium Tuesday, and than he usually does, as he is already overweight and winded.

It takes about 2 to 4 weeks for your body to adjust to the steroids. They make you sweat, tense up, get hot, (especially around your neck, chest and face, and you become flushed and really red, as of you just ran up a few flights of stairs.

Because of the weight loss and what I observed on that stage on Tuesday night, I believe he has had the virus for at least 7-10 days prior to the debate, and was on a steroid regimen to push through the rallies and debates, and that he was sick long before Hicks was, and she and most probably many others around him became exposed to it by being in his bubble, and they did not know he had it until it was impossible to hide it.

Jared, Ivanka, and the VP all knew. They are either already immune due to previous exposure, or are also infected and asymptotic.

They went in to that debate knowing he was sick and they all were part of the CoViD bubble they are currently sealed into, and have probably all either had it once, twice, or have it with zero issues, SO FAR, and this time, the info leaked and it was impossible to deny it. They’re all probably on steroids and getting plasma IV treatments.

All part of the course. Let’s keep the show going as long as we are tended to by top notch physicians and the best of modalities available, while you all sit at our rallies, and possibly die- ESPECIALLY, if you’re black! Yeah, we know the black guy wasn’t gonna make it, but he had the spirit!

These people are just so fucking fucked up and belligerently destructive, when it comes to the human lives they affect in their folly and lies.

" Does rampant cocaine use prevent Covid-19? Asking for a friend."

If Biden is negative the deplorables are going to say he’s lying.

It’s about to get very ugly.

R149, that's EXACTLY why he DOESN'T have it. He attended rallies and meetings since then, and wasn't showing symptoms.

It was going to be ugly regardless of this, R151; I don't think this materially changes anything, with the possible exception that the QAnon paranoia is about to go through the roof with speculation that the "Deep State" deliberately infected Trump to take him down because they knew he was on the verge of winning the election.

Melissa Tate seems to be an account many conservatives follow and turn to in times of strife. I personally find her...performative...

I wonder how Vairst Letty feels about catching something you cant get rid of with a dose of penicillin.

Twitter doesn't believe he has it and it is just deflection from his taxes and the debate.

Convenient timing.

During the 'debate' in one of his madman riffs, Trump cited 'The China Plague' with special aggression.

Obviously his brain wasn't telling him anything, but maybe his body was. We await with interest his updated considered view of Covid, in due course.

If there’s a cure for this, before the next debates, I don’t want it!

If there’s a remedy, before the election, I’ll run from it!

One of them must die for me to believe it. Hope, Melanie, Dump.....one of em', but I'll happily settle for all.

R1(2, if you have a minute sometime today, please go check out what Myasthenia Gravis is, and what it does and how it presents.

I was much younger and way healthier than Trump when I got I’ll, and I didn’t have to work, yet chose to because I was terrified of losing the best health insurance I’d ever had, and I was also terrified that if I stopped physically moving, I’d become disabled a lot faster than I could have according to the progression markers of the disease.

If I could work under those circumstances because of steroids, so could DJT. Trust me, I know what I’m taking about.

He is genuinely ill. Maybe it’s something else, but he exams 10 to 15 lbs thinned almost overnight and the facial flushing and maintained redness in his cheeks was not Adderall or cocaine, or any other illegal substance.

The man was jacked up on steroids and to those who are assuming Junior is high on blow, steroids will dilate the pupils more than bathtub meth or the finest Peruvian flake.

My illness eventually resolved for the most part, thankfully. But I still take a small dosage of the steroids, just in case.

I know a person on a high dosage of steroids as opposed to a person on stimulants when o see them, as I’ve experienced plenty of good blow, and the steroids. The blow fades in 30 minutes, and a steroid shot will blast you through a good 6 hours, minimum.

He’s genuinely, physically ill. With what? I cannot say because I don’t know.

The problem here is not that he is sick. The problem here is that he HAS KNOWN HE IS SICK AND KEPT ON GOING, while others also got sick and even died, or could.

I don’t wish this man an iota of physical harm, but these people don’t just deceive us by verbally lying. They also deceive and HURT us, by immuring critically important and factual information, that we need in order to protect ourselves and others from a devastating illness that could kill ANYONE, him included.

Attention. ATTENTION! This is Miss Shuster. The COVID is coming from INSIDE the White House! It's coming your way!

So, *now* this is a serious matter and we should make no jokes, but fuck the 200k already dead from a hoax virus, right??

My president is the best COVID patient you ever seen! Many people say he has mild symptoms. I don’t know how he does it. The mainstream media is trying to feast at an empty table. Nothing to see folks! 🤡

The dangerous part isn't right after you start showing symptoms, it's about a week or so on when you may take a turn for the worse. My friend who had a "mild" case, and is much younger and fitter than Trump) said it was NOT like the flu, the worst symptoms were far more debilitating and lasted weeks rather than days.

Sorry for all of the typos.

TLDR? Be’s Been sick for a while and has known.

What I believe is another real possibility is that the infection is just bouncing back and forth amongst these people.

Here’s who most probably doesn’t have CoViD: Melanie, Ivanka, the kids, like Barron and Ivanka’s children.

That’s why they’ve been, only there when absolutely necessary, but otherwise? O.

The people in AF One with the President have already had it or have it and are asymptomatic and healthy in appearance and diagnostics they’re given regularly by physicians, or they remain in-infected because they fly in Air Force 2, and live away from the WH, never entering it.

That’s why he was doing those press conferences outside.

The virulence and strength abated, they took their guard down, and it either re entered via a new host, or it re triggered in an old one.

The lie is that they’re all infected or living away from each other, pretending to be OK, when everyone in that jet with DJT, has already been exposed and asymptomatic for some length of time now.

Old news to them. New news to us. Omission is as bad as lying.

R154 she types like a person with an IQ in the 80s.

If Trump gets really sick, will the White House tell us? Or will they continue to insist that he's fine, have someone else send out tweets pretending to be him, and try to pass off old photos of him as if they were taken that day ("See how healthy he is!")?

R168 Weekend at Bernie's.

[quote] she types like a person with an IQ in the 80s.

Actually, R167, I think her husband types that way. She's just a pretty picture.

R154 - the Trump Cultists think he's the "Chosen One".

Now, do they think their Dear Leader getting the virus is Divine Retribution?

The world is a little happier today.

[quote] Hicks had joined the president on the trip and felt poorly on the way home, according to reports

I figured she was just on the rag, but apparently not...

The irony in all of this.

CNBC's Brian Schwartz:

GOP donors are panicking after being around President Trump during a fundraiser at his golf course in Bedminster. 30 to 50 donors were close to six feet of the president at the event, most of the interaction was outside.

The gay gene must offer some protection against Covid if Jerad, Pence, and Eric Trump are still negative.

Get in there Jerad and give your father-in-law a big wet kiss!

What R160 said.

Until then, I call bullshit.

I haven't read Part 1. What is the DL consensus - does Trump have COVID? Is it a new infection?

It seems to me they have all had multiple cycles of convalescent plasma so wouldn't they all already have antibodies in place?

TRUMP IS A PERMANENT 24/7 shit show, thats for sure.

Chris Wallace on FOX this morning: "I'm going to say something, and folks, I'm just trying to give you the truth. Scott Atlas is not an epidemiologist... he has no training in this area at all. There are a number of top people on the WH task force who have grave concerns about Atlas."

[quote]I had it back in April and had a mild case that “only” progressed to a mild flu and it was hell on earth for a week. And I was tired for a month after that, all the time. I cannot even out into words how fatigued I was some days.

Then there's the possibility of 'Long Covid': lung scarring, sticky blood, organ damage, brain damage. And this is only what's being slowly discovered thus far. Trump is old, fat, unfit, angry and stupid. None of this is a great prospectus for the 'leader of the free world.'

It turns the conversation back to COVID, his performance about it and health care. Three BIG negatives for Trump and the Repubs. And it will be a two-week (at least) long constant media barrage of how weak he is.

All negatives he won't be able to push back against.

I only care about Biden, the deranged orange ape was yelling during the debate only feet away from Joe.

[quote]It turns the conversation back to COVID, his performance about it and health care.

Yes, that's proof enough that he really has it. He's been trying desperately to shift the conversation away from COVID. This ensures that it will remain the dominant issue until the election.

The shit is flying back in their faces so fast they don't have time to open their mouths.

Judge Handmaiden needs to quarantine.

I love how the Trumpsters who are always screaming about snowflakes and owning the libs, become the biggest babies and snowflakes when the tables turn. Dumb fuckers. If I see one more goddamned tweet about how the Trump's need sympathy and respect during this time, I'm gonna lose my breakfast.

Senator Mike Lee has it! Omg he met with Amy coney Barrett on Tuesday in his office! Is this the Republican plague?

Not true, R19. Boris Johnson was in IC and he himself said it could have gone either way.

R72 it's not like he actually does anything beyond golf, nazi rallies and tweets

Mike Lee:

The chickens are coming home to roost

He needs to just fucking resign.

[quote] They aren’t going to admit he’s really sick. It’s a national security issue. Plus they’ve lied about his health for four years, why stop now?

This has been the case through many presidencies, both Republican and Democratic.

Edith Wilson was effectively running the show after Woodrow's stroke in 1919,

FDR knew he was dying, yet he ran for a fourth term in 1944. That's why he dumped VP Henry Wallace and put Harry Truman on the ticket. He knew he wouldn't live to finish out his term (and didn't dying less than 3 months into his fourth term)

Eisenhower was described as having had a 'minor' heart attack in 1955 because they didn't want to jeopardize his reelection in 1956. Amazingly, it was first diagnosed as 'indigestion' and he would not be hospitalized for another 12 hours.

Kennedy hid his Addison's disease from the public, attributing his ruddy color caused by hyperpigmentation of the skin to a suntan and 'youthful vigor'.

After he left office, Nixon was reported to be losing it towards the end of his presidency, wandering the White House halls late at night, talking to portraits of former presidents. The severity of his phlebitis was never disclosed to the public during his term of office.

When Reagan was shot, he was a lot closer to death than first reported to the nation. Even though he was bleeding internally, Reagan insisted he be seen walking into the hospital on foot. As soon as he got inside to door and away from the cameras, he collapsed and was rushed into the operating room. It wasn't until well after he recovered that we discovered how serious it was.

Goddamn it, does Biden have it or not?! I'm bouncing off the walls.

Leave it to a whore like Hope Hicks to be patient zero. It's always the hoes.

Matt Yglesias:

Deeply wrong to mock the president for falling victim to a pandemic he downplayed for months while actively undermining public health guidelines before attempting to cover up the outbreak along his own senior staff.

I reserve my sympathy, empathy, and despair for those who are sick and for those who have died because they were misled, lied to, or ignored.

Wear a fucking mask.

#VOTE

R175 Let’s see how wide this goes.

[quote] I only care about Biden, the deranged orange ape was yelling during the debate only feet away from Joe.

Twelve feet apart, according to MSNBC. Hopefully that's enough

It's a HOAX!!

Walk it off, Jackass!

Kimberly Guilfoyle tested positive back in July. She may be protected by antibodies, or she could get reinfected.

Normally I have empathy for anyone with even a minor cold, but I just don't think there is any point in having empathy for a person like Trump who has zero empathy for people who are very sick and die.

R161, you make an interesting point. I took steroids myself a few months ago for a temporary condition.

A side effect I noticed about a week or two in was feeling very angry and aggressive. I’m not normally like that. I just felt overwhelmingly irritated by everything. I had to stay inside and avoid people. That might explain why he was constantly talking over Biden.

Another possibility was he and his family knew they were infected, went there in an effort to infect the Bidens, and he snorted Adderall or coke to get through it. A lot. A lot of people said he seemed to be on drugs.

It makes me wonder if Don Jr has been so cokey lately to fight off long term after-affects of COVID. Guillfoyle had it in July. Maybe he had it too and they didn’t want to admit it, and he’s a long hauler. Those people suffer after affects for months. And he’s been campaigning. So he cokes it up and keeps going to events. If that’s the case, he and Guillfoyle may both have antibodies and the rest probably don’t.

He is a double national security issue! His debt and the 'rona!

Putin expressed puzzlement in his message to Dumpf, because, "usually people don't get deadly ill without me poisoning them."

[quote] That might explain why he was constantly talking over Biden.

You know what might plausibly explain that?

That he's a FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT who does that to everyone.

R202, lol. The little 'lady' has initiative!

R206 Well put. I totally agree

Sylvia, we know he was told not to do that. Apparently the people that coached him weren’t expecting that at all, and they know him and know what he was told to do.

On debate night, news pundits were hinting openly that he seemed to be on drugs. Everybody on Twitter was saying it bluntly. Trump may be an asshole, but drug influenced behavior is pretty specific.

He'll emerge healthy as a horse a week before the election and the cult will elevate him even higher.

Melania has now apparently tweeted she’s feeling effects too.

Sanjay Gupta said last night that people usually don’t show symptoms for 5-10 days. So they were probably very contagious at the debate. Removing their masks was so deliberate, I really think they were trying to hurt the Bidens.

According to Turtle, it's full speed ahead with Barrett.

My friend insisted on reading me Donald's Solar Return Chart awhile ago. At that time she interpreted the "big change" indicated for Oct/Nov as divorce with Melania. It could also be other things, since astrology is notoriously vague, but the "big change" part is pretty solid, she said.

[quote]According to Turtle, it's full speed ahead with Barrett.

Barrett should be self-isolating for at least the next 10 days.

He's crazy. Crazy attracts crazy. It's a psychic law. This is crazy for the country.

🤫 Hope Hicks blames it all on Donald Trump and his viral loads.

MSNBC Justice & Security Analyst Matthew Miller:

The only thing that feels like a certainty this morning is that the White House will not be honest about the president’s medical condition over the coming days and weeks.

Sort of feels like MAGAts are asking us to feel bad that some kid who snuck into the lion's cage at the zoo got mauled to death.

Pelosi Hopes Trump Testing Positive For Coronavirus Will Be 'A Learning Experience' | MSNBC

BIDEN TESTS NEGATIVE!!!

NYT's James Poniewozik:

There's a really odd, tentative vibe on Fox News now, having to treat coronavirus as a round-the-clock major story while (presumably) knowing their audience has been told by their commentators for months that it's overblown.

Biden just tweeted he and Jill are negative. Thank the fucking lord

Hooray!

R214 Apart from shelving the hearings entirely, the second-best case scenario is Barrett falls ill, gets appointed anyway, is hooked up to a vent and dies conveniently some time in Feb after Biden is sworn in.

[quote] According to Turtle, it's full speed ahead with Barrett.

The Democrats need to boycott the senate hearings and/or vote. Force the Republicans to produce a quorum on their own, even if it means dragging Mike Lee out of the hospital. Force Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, Cory Gardner, Dan Sullivan, Joni Ernst and all those other vulnerable senators to show up in person and risk their health and the health of their families

R198, it isn’t.

That’s not how CoViD works.

Air particulates linger consistently in any closed environment, and are redistributed even more profusely via BVAC systems that are not retrofitted for the affect of dry and highly arid enclosures.

If they debated in a room that was fitted properly for this, are rooms for certain industries, than the chances lessen, however, even a glass of water in that room change the game.

This is probably why. Biden’s camp requested a break (which they were denied), every 30 minutes.

They wanted mitigate their exposure to any air condensation, however, that would actually INCREASE their risk to particulate exposure, which is why that requested was correctly denied.

I assume they had solid rumors circulating that Trump’s crew were all walking Petrie dishes of viral pestilence, and understood the HUGE risks involved with a physical and proximal, physical closeness in a closed yet unsealed room, for a debate.

My 0.2 cents?

They were ALL really foolish to enter into this quagmire of fuckeries with this caravan of clowns.

You cannot trust your physical health and life to ANY of these people. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

People, even those close in the know, just repeatedly forget the now overwhelming and profound nation security risk this president and this administration has subjected us to repeatedly in the last year.

We have been tinkering on the edge for almost a FULL year, now. Just because your stocks and IRAs are booming, that is no true expression of an economic line that can go from a steep V, to a very wide U, or even almost flatline, within hours of news such as this, today.

Do not be fooled by the NASDAQ elixir on which so many of us have been trained to imbibe as some sort of miracle vitamin. High stocks do not mean strong economy. And the higher the tick, the steeper the crash. I know of what I speak, even if I’m fucking poor.

Also, a smart President with a smart citizenry does not do what this man just did to his staff, family, and to us.

He fucked us and if you see jets flying off and around you on the next weeks to come, and you think, “Oh. That’s an odd plane. Never seen that one before”, understand that when you are evaluating an economy and it’s resilience, you do so by first evaluating it national security risks. A pandemic, is not just a bad flu. It is a risk to our country, and now, because our POTUS is genuinely sick, in my personal estimation, our armed forces will most like start showing military might and presence, by flying all kinds of jets in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and every coastline in our country, because that is what they MUST do, if a POTUS is in danger or under ANY threat that becomes public.

That’s how you will know this is real. The mother fucking planes, just like the little guy on the island said every week in his little white suit.

You see the jets? Our national security is at risk. Why, because our POTUS has CoVid, and for ONCE, he’s not lying.

Trumpers are making this trend on Twitter:

[quote]President Trump did not call COVID-19 a hoax, according to AP and other fact-checkers

There will be many attempts to rewrite history before the election.

Trump is NOT on his scheduled call, pence is. The WH said a few hours ago that trump would be doing it.

He’s sick.

Coney Barrett needs to infect McConnell and Graham ASAP.

R227, it doesn't matter what those fucking morons say we all saw the shithead literally mock Biden for his mask only a few days ago. he held rallies where no one wore a mask or SD. They can lie all they want, it won't change the fact that he NEVER took it seriously.

Fauci had to get god damned security for his own family because of Trump supporters.

Well, we'll find out just exactly how great the healthiest president ever's good German genes are in protecting him from something that's killed people younger and thinner than he is.

👤 Who is the Trump Administration's Designated Survivor ?

I agree that Jr behaves like he’s on coke, but I have never seen a single shot of him with dilated pupils — you can’t hide that. So I’m not sure what he’s taking but he does indeed talk like he’s snorting rails.

Guys, Trump IS sick. So let’s strategize on how to leverage this to the utmost advantage. I actually think Dems need to ATTACK him immediately — but don’t let Joe do this dirty work. Leave it to say AOC, Katie Porter, Swalwell, Cuomo. And to boot, sprinkle on some Never Trumpers like Rick Wilson and Steve Schmidt. Dems should actually jump on this and use it to hurt him HARD — show ZERO mercy. They need to bring up the fucking LIST of all the mistakes he’s made, focusing particularly on his holding rallies!! Someone needs to suggest that he and his campaign staff are criminally charged for their reckless conduct and blatant disregard for public safety. Definitely push the concept of charging them with criminal charges!

In the past, citizens wouldn’t have stomached kicking someone when they’re down. But now? Gloves are off, and it actually isn’t difficult to make this case while seeming to still take the moral high road.

Act like they feel bad bringing this all up NOW — BUT it is critical that we as a country learn from his bad decisions, bad judgement, and poor leadership. Blahblahblah.

Trump has a cough and a fever. That’s not all that “mild.”

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

The Bidens tested negative. Maybe there is a deity,

I'm hoping the Lincoln Project does a video of the clip where Trump is mocking Biden's mask wearing. Unfortunately, I think everybody is gonna play nice for a few days. Yuck.

R235 - she and Jared COULD test positive later on.

He will be coughing non-stop...

that's what i heard from those who had it.

Forgot the link.

^ From Wash Post

In a statement, Lee said he tested negative at the White House ahead of that event but began experiencing allergy-like symptoms Thursday. He got tested again, and it came back positive.

Lee, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, met with Barrett on Tuesday on Capitol Hill, and the two were photographed together not wearing masks. Lee has also had close contact with the committee’s chairman, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.).

Biden tests negative!

[quote] The Bidens tested negative. Maybe there is a deity,

You bitches always give me a hard time, but sometimes I come through for you.

[quote] He will be coughing non-stop...

That's what the case was with a co-worker who had it. The selfish prick was hacking and hacking for weeks prior to Cuomo's shut down. I was going out of my mind wiping down every surface in the office (this was back when they told us to clean surfaces but not to wear masks). Ten days after we were told to stay home he died. For some inexplicable reason, nobody else in the office got sick or has tested positive.

I pity the White House staff (not the West Wing sycophants, but the housekeepers, valets, and butlers who have to risk their lives to serve this prick and his hateful wife)

Yup, R238. Trump's family and cronies, including the 100+ Repug high donors who went to his Bedminster fundraiser on Wed, continued to be exposed after the debate. Chris Wallace said none of them wore masks at the debate despite regulations requiring them, so you can be damn sure they didn't wear any until Trump tested positive. Hell, he went unmasked to the indoor Bedminster event even after Hope Hicks tested poz. I'd wait a few days before declaring them all Covid-free.

I feel worst for all the workers who were forced to interact with that gang of psychopaths.

EXCELLENT post, R233.

Agree with almost all points. Lol!

I wonder if he is upset when staff and help want to wear PPP gear to enter his room!

^^^It’s all fake^^^

R241, my thought bubble through all of this:

Holy shit. The president of Notre Dame, who was at the WH event on Saturday, has tested positive. This is big.

PP gear? I like the sound of that!

Trump was supposed to chair a conference call with the Governors today but Pence is filling in. Do you think Trump would miss the chance to harangue the Democrat Governors (Cuomo is his "favorite") if he wasn't sick?

RGB really has been busy in the afterlife

If you want a good laugh check out #prayersdown on Twitter. Black Twitter does NOT fuck around.

I hope the mother fucker and his whore wife both have long, protracted illnesses followed by long, painful deaths.

I don't give a fuck about bad karma or any of that other bullshit. His arrogance, (i.e. I know more about this than stupid doctors and epidemiologists) and his stupid, childish reactions to basic preventive care (only pussies wear masks) is bad enough, but he's instilled this same arrogance and stupidity into his jack ass fans and supporters.

Even before this, I simply don't understand how people can be devoted to this grifting, con-artist carnival barker and have the slightest bit of respect for this human piece of garbage.

Looking more and more likely the ACB nomination event is where this started. It fits with the timeline and everyone who has been positive so far was there.

What about PAYING NO TAXES, E-V-E-R ???

Mike Lee is the most potato looking of senators.

Progressive talker Thom Hartmann cited CDC data indicating a 12% mortality rate for 74 YO symptomatic Covid cases on today's show. I haven't been able to confirm, though.

[quote]The president of Notre Dame, who was at the WH event on Saturday, has tested positive.

He sat right next to Franklin Graham.

R256, ABC has tested negative, though.

Oh boy

R261 fuck!!! Test her again!

Perusing the Twitter feeds of “celebs” like James Woods, Kirstie Alley, Kristy Swanson, Kevin Sorbo, etc. is enough to make one vomit. They are totally living in some weird alternate universe. Kristy even went so far as to say that he has handled the pandemic beautifully. Bitch, what???

That's no guarantee she's not infected,. R261. She has to be tested repeatedly over the next few days or week.

R265 mashallah!

More good news:

Sen. Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff both tested negative for Covid-19 this morning, according to an aide.

They will continue on their planned travel to Las Vegas, Nevada, and Greensboro, North Carolina, respectively.

Harris had tested negative yesterday as part of the campaign's routine testing.

Biden is about to have the entire country to himself while Trump nurses a fever in the WH. And people think Trump is faking this?

They believe whatever they want to believe, R264. It's probably pretty easy for them because they're already dumb as rocks.

Democrats testing negative and carrying on campaigning, while every ten minutes brings another Republican testing positive and going into quarantine: Ronna Who's-It, Sen. Lee .... All guilty of gross irresponsibility, too.

Just confirmed on MSNBC : Notre Dame President Fr. John Jenkins, who attended the Amy Coney Barrett SCOTUS announcement on Saturday, has tested positive for COVID.

Amy you in danger gurl

I haven’t felt this alive in years! I know it’s just a moment but I’m savoring it!

Did you bitches see this photo that Nikki Haley tweeted yesterday of her sitting with 99 Republican women in New Hampshire, all of them crowded together and none of them wearing masks? Look for New Hampshire's COVID cases to spike over the next few weeks.

(And Nikki Haley was supposed to be the "smart," "sane" Republican.)

Right-wing keeps saying to pray for Trump: We did and it worked

QAnon is of two minds:

1. Either Trump’s diagnosis is a cover story to allow him to stay in a safe place while the long-awaited “storm” of mass arrests of powerful satanic pedophiles finally takes place.

or

2. Trump was intentionally infected by “the left,” perhaps through his debate microphone.

Hahahahaha

Share your cocktails in this thread lol.

[quote]And Nikki Haley was supposed to be the "smart," "sane" Republican.

Oxymoron.

R277, this is the only thing that saddened me about all ofthis: So many hilarious comments on twitter and I'm sure I'm missing many of them.

[quote]And Nikki Haley was supposed to be the "smart," "sane" Republican.

No she wasn't. Maybe for five minutes in 2016. She was garbage at the UN. She didn't serve the US. She served Israel.

And now even the conference calls are being cancelled.

[quote]Progressive talker Thom Hartmann cited CDC data indicating a 12% mortality rate for 74 YO symptomatic Covid cases on today's show. I haven't been able to confirm, though.

And that’s without the aggravating factor of being a bloated toad.

Love this, r274!

YogaBitch65, House Atreides Water wave @WTxNamaste · Replying to @NikkiHaley

Looks like the mayonnaise aisle at Walmart.

I want the press to follow Biden while he lifts weights and jogs, showing his fitness and well being.

Barrett had coronavirus already! She had it this summer.

Could she be the source for this outbreak? Was she still contagious?

CNN: Two new cases at WH: one journalist and one staffer who works with journalists.

Well, I’m sure the President has learned his lesson this time!

About Amy -- I think her ceremony spread the virus - but get this -

Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett was diagnosed with the coronavirus earlier this year but has since recovered, three officials familiar with her diagnosis told The Washington Post.

That is going to be just too, too juicy if it was Barrett's nomination that caused this clusterfuck.

I’m sorry but it’s fucking hilarious and sweet poetic justice that the absurd nomination ceremony of a Christian freak to replace RBG resulted in half of the GOP getting covid19.

Just a reminder:

Business Insider: HA-ha!

I don't know how anyone looks at that pic @R285 and can see anything but the color of Trump's face. Fucking CLOWN.

What a cluster fuck. At this point I wake up every morning dreading what I’ll see when I look at the news. I can’t stand to look at this asshole anymore and I can’t stand to hear my idiotic young male coworkers still voice their support for him. November 5 cannot come fast enough.

[quote]Chris Wallace on FOX this morning: "I'm going to say something, and folks, I'm just trying to give you the truth.

Why on earth would Chris Wallace think that Fox News viewers were interested in the truth?

[quote]That is going to be just too, too juicy if it was Barrett's nomination that caused this clusterfuck.

You really think a mad rush to fast-track this harpy to a seat on the SC could've allowed for a lack of proper testing?

Dying of CoViD as an overweight senior is excruciating. Horrible footage of triage and icu care all over YouTube. The seniors that it hit from NY to PA in March and April died like dogs in those old folks homes. Not at all exaggerating. Like literal dogs who were drowning in a tub and could no longer breathe because their lungs were riddled with mucous that was becoming encapsulated into a marble lodged in their lungs, due to lack of oxygen and the coagulation effects when vascular dilation starts to seal and tighten. It’s like they were a ballon and either had to pop to breathe (impossible, due to pneumatic limitations, as well as no surgical facilities). At that point, I did not understand the vascular constrictions, but I knew that anyone who had them, would actually not make it and would fare worse with ventilators, due to lung pressure complications.

Can you imagine dying like that? No family. You’re a 75 year old black man in a home or the VA with another 100 of you? You went to Vietnam, you served, and now you are begging for Jesus to kill you because your chest is filled with something that feels like water, glass, and sand, and an elephant is sitting on your chest.

That’s what it felt like for this men and women to die of this illness, and it took this president 45 days or more to finally close down the country, as NY, NJ, and PA fended for themselves and this dude called it a hoax, refusing to wear a mask.

Now he gets sick? America’s right: thoughts and prayers, get real patriots died PAINFULLY, & people tore off their masks, stormed court buildings, and took up their firearms, locked and loaded.

Damn, damn, damn!!!! So angry about that. I do not want this man to hurt, because it doesn’t even matter. It is his supporters who are the real problem. We will forget them until this happens again.

And it will. I promise.

Typhoid Karen

Amy is probably fine. she has antibodies but I read reports recently that immunity fades after a few months.

Apparently he has been moved to Walter Reade????

Any confirmations???

Walter Reed R300, it's not a drug store.

But no idea

Not true. Kayliegh is on Fox News claiming Trump is ok and working in his residence.

He's actually been moved to Duane Reade to buy snacks.

How can we know if she is telling the truth?

R297, they're prosecuting the heads of the Vet's home in Holyoke, MA where men like you describe died horribly and needlessly.

Sounds like precedent is being set....

[quote]He's actually been moved to Duane Reade to buy snacks.

Is there a McDonalds on the way? Also, on the way back?

It's sad (but not surprising) that the Left is turning out to be as crazy as the right with conspiracy theories about how this is all faked

3-2-1 before they are claiming Trump is dead and it's an imposter taking his place until the election.

As for Q, the poisoned mike was the first thing I thought they would claim, not well-versed enough to understand the hiding during the mass arrests bit.

Those fuckers are certifiable.

The Trumps have left the White House and are now quarantining on an island in the Pacific.

Good (but very very long) read on why superspreader events are the key to stopping Covid

there are reporters there. surely they can see if Trump left...there will be caravans etc...

God bless America. As a Canadian, I am playing the American national anthem out of respect for Trump. Your hero has not left his battle station. He continues to work. If he can work, you can get off your whiney butts and go out and vote for him!!!

[quote]It's sad (but not surprising) that the Left is turning out to be as crazy as the right with conspiracy theories about how this is all faked

Both sides are just as bad!

R311 - I hope you're joking. If not, we're ashamed of you.

R311 made me laugh. He has to be joking.

" Your hero has not left his battle station. He continues to work.

Funny, but that's basically what Germany radio was broadcasting on May 1st, 1945, even after Hitler had put a bullet in his skull the day before. "He continues to fight for Germany and the German people."

Same shit, different day.

Damn! I missed last night's drama. What glorious news to wake up to!!

Watching deplorables backtrack their claim that Coronavirus is a hoax. Sweet justice.

Are they dead yet?

I didn get to go the White House, because I Speshul Neds, so I am allgood :-)

While I think it's ridiculous to believe he's lying about this because it makes him look weak and stupid, you'd have to be an idiot to think believing he's lying is as loony as the right-wing conspiracies. Trump and the Republicans LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING, so it's only natural for many to think he's lying about this.

The QAnon loons flood 911 with conspiracies about the fires and hotlines to help children with their psychotic conspiracies. They bring a gun to a pizza joint. They think liberals put covid on Trump's mic.

Cut the "both sides" crap because you look stupid.

I find it frightening that the same people who wish death upon their political enemies are the same people who want to be in charge of the healthcare system. Let that sink in.

"Some of Trump’s allies are pressuring him to appear in public in some form today in an attempt to calm the markets and the country, even if it’s just a brief appearance from a window or via video, according to two people familiar with the discussions."

In response to requests that he appear, President Trump consented to allow himself to be photographed going about his important work of helping the country fend off attacks from unpatriotic liberals. Here is that photo, showing him looking healthy and fit.

Feeling bad for Trumpito? nahhhhh

I feel bad for the victims of his horrible actions like the poor tortured people in those detention facilities and camps.

[quote]Let that sink in.

I think your brain caved in. You're a fucking idiot. Dr. Fauci had to get security for his family because the POLITICS of the right-wing took precedence over SCIENCE. And SCIENCE was viewed through the ignorance of right-wing politics

Don't play stupid. you know precisely how we got to this point.

Notre Dame president John Jenkins who was also at the Rose Garden ceremony a few days ago when Trump announced ACB as his SCOTUS nominee has just announced he tested positive as well.

Sounds like that may have been a superspreader event. Fun times ahead, folks.

R307, the only conspiracy is attempting to gaslight those who know ol' Bonespurs is a proven liar. Speculation as to the current situation is understandably inclusive of such a possibility. He has no shame and there is no limit to which he will go.

He has everything to lose now and a whole lot of reason to lie. These 'theories', therefore, have a helluva lot more basis for credible speculation than wayfair furniture names or pizza parlor cellar pedo circle jerks.

Hope Hicks should get an MVP award for this.

WH: All campaign events involving the president and his family that had been scheduled for the next two weeks will either be virtual or be postponed.

I'm afraid it's looking like Hicks wasn't the person who caused this outbreak, it must have been someone at the Rose Garden ceremony on Saturday.

I guess this means Turd will be missing the 2nd debate.

I wonder if the VP debate will happen virtually...

R320, How easily you forget the already 200,000+ dead these thirsty vampires purposely disallowed from mentioning in debate....what's the blood of the elderly, right? And now you want to play nice?

Doesn't work that way. You want to set some nasty rules and then start crying the minute they're applied to YOU.

It is what it is, to quote your example of empathy and you needn't worry about how we'll behave. We don't hold back respirators for sick people or separate mothers from babies.

But we do know what to do to the likes of you.

And McConnell thinks it looks good that he rushed this appointment to the point it will be associated with a ceremony that gave Trump covid?

Biden won't stop:

"Suspending the campaign would be a disservice to the country and there is no reason to do it," said Ben LaBolt, a former aide to former president Barack Obama.

"One of the judgments voters are making is which candidate would have better managed the response to the coronavirus and who has the leadership to lead us out of this national emergency," LaBolt added. "While we should wish the president a healthy recovery, his diagnosis is a visible demonstration of a failure of leadership at every level of this White House."

With the test result in hand, Biden proceeded with plans to campaign in the battleground state of Michigan Friday, while running mate Kamala Harris, who was not at the debate, also tested negative and traveled to Las Vegas for a previously scheduled campaign stop.

LOL!!!

Yamiche Alcindor:

WH Press Sec Kayleigh McEnany just told us that "White House operations" deemed it safe for President Trump to travel to New Jersey for his fundraiser yesterday after Hope Hicks tested positive.

She wouldn't say more about what "mild symptoms" the president is experiencing.

He'll spin it, maybe there's away to blame AOC or Senator Warren or Senator Kamala Harris.

MSNBC pundits: news of Hope Hicks' infection leaked to a reporter after masks started popping up in the WH, forcing official announcement. Line that Trump has "mild symptoms" is unverified; given track record of lies, entirely possible it's much worse. Also likely that more leaks are forthcoming given frustration of staffers with lack of protection.

Doc notes that early symptoms immediately after positive test (with frequent prior testing) are typically a bad sign for disease progression. She said each patient has to be evaluated separately for treatment - eg, Trump will prob get remdesivir and monoclonal antibodies; convalescent plasma is trickier. Always possibility of cytokine storm. Assumption is that a) WH will downplay severity/limit info; and b) more people will emerge as positive. Yeehaw.

Please welcome to the stage: PANDA MONIUM

Tell me again this no cult:

[quote] At least 11 tested positive for Covid-19 at US Secret Service center

Between Melania and Hope Hicks, I'm surprised that number isn't well into the hundreds by now...

please die

Yeah, we all know what a super spreader Hicks is.

Photo from Oct 2018, for The Washington Post.

Biden needs to start getting tested daily now (if he doesn't already.)

Are the cable news channels on a Trump death watch? Will they be live 24/7 throughout the weekend?

If he hadn't been tested, then he wouldn't have had a positive test and he could have continued with his rallies.

It seems conservatives only believe in sharing when it comes to corporate welfare or a virus. They get all socialist when it comes to those two things

yes, they say it's probably the event where the N. D. person was at. Rose Garden. that's where they were infected.

Does this mean will have at least a couple of days of no Trump tweets?

He'll never be too exhausted to tweet!

PCR test is the most reliable...that's what a Dr. is saying on CNBC

it takes a few days

the test they use at the white house is not very reliable...you can be infected but test negative.

^^Ooh, that's a good thread topic. What will Trump's final Tweet be?

He hasn't tweeted since he said he had covid, and that didn't even sound like him. He must be pretty sick to not be tweeting 24/7 from his bed.

Hoping for this Weekend at Donnie's.

He’s faking it.

Are they dead yet?

BTW, has anyone said that SCOTUS nominee ABC has already had Covid and revovered. She's invincible. At any rate, she's young.

How Trump and Hicks spent week before coronavirus diagnosis

WASHINGTON — President Trump learned on Thursday morning that his close aide Hope Hicks tested positive for coronavirus — just as his plane took off for a scheduled fundraiser in New Jersey, his chief of staff said Friday.

Their diagnoses followed a week of travel across the country as the presidential election enters its final phase, with American voters heading to the polls in just 32 days.

On Thursday evening, it emerged that Hicks, one of the president’s closest advisers, was also infected with COVID-19 after traveling by the president’s side all week.

The president’s packed schedule, which included three rallies, a presidential debate and fundraisers, has raised fears that other high-profile officials are at risk.

Below is a timeline of the president’s week:

Monday, Sept. 28-----

Trump and Vice President Mike Pence updated the nation on the administration’s coronavirus testing strategy Monday afternoon in the Rose Garden.

Adm. Brett Giroir, assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services, was also on stage but didn’t come into close contact with the president.

That afternoon, Trump and White House trade adviser Peter Navarro inspected a new electric pickup truck manufactured by Lordstown Motors and met with the company’s CEO, Steve Burns.

Tuesday, Sept. 29----------

On Tuesday, Trump flew to Cleveland, Ohio, with nearly two dozen family members and staff for the shambolic debate with Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Pence was also in the Capitol with Judge Amy Coney Barrett and Republican lawmakers ahead of her confirmation hearings.

On board Air Force One to Ohio were Hicks, son-in-law Jared Kushner, assistant Dan Scavino, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, chief of staff Mark Meadows, attorney Rudy Giuliani, campaign chief Bill Stepien, speechwriter Stephen Miller, national security adviser Robert O’Brien and Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Jordan.

Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, Eric Trump, Lara Trump and Tiffany Trump were also on the plane.

While Biden and Trump remained six feet apart on stage, Biden was tested on Friday in the wake of Trump’s diagnosis and returned a negative result.

Wednesday, Sept. 30========

At 2:30 p.m., the president left the White House on Marine One and headed to Minnesota for a rally in Duluth.

Hicks, Kushner and Miller — whose wife, Katie Miller, Pence’s top spokeswoman, was one of the first officials to contract COVID-19 in May — were seen getting on the helicopter less than a minute behind him.

Before his rally, the president also attended a fundraiser at the private home of Cambria CEO Marty Davis, a top Trump supporter.

According to multiple reports, Hicks began feeling unwell on Air Force One on the ride back to Washington and quarantined herself away from others on the plane.

Trump himself also seemed tired during the rally and uncharacteristically fell asleep on the plane, multiple sources told the New York Times.

Thursday, Oct. 1------

The president departed the White House in Marine One to Joint Base Andrews at 12:45 p.m., according to his official schedule. He did not speak to reporters on the South Lawn.

It was at takeoff that Hicks’ COVID-19 diagnosis came to light.

“I can tell you in terms of Hope Hicks, we discovered that right as the Marine One was taking off yesterday,” Meadows told reporters Friday morning. “We actually pulled some of the people that had been traveling and (were) in close contact.”

Meadows did not specify who was held back.

Trump arrived at Joint Base Andrews 10 minutes later and flew from DC to Morristown, NJ, at 1:05 p.m. with White House spokesman Judd Deere and aide John McEntee in tow, according to pool reports.

Air Force One arrived at Morristown Municipal Airport at 1:55 p.m.

Ten minutes later, he flew to his golf resort in Bedminster for the fundraiser — with Meadows saying contact tracing efforts began just before the roundtable event with supporters at 3 p.m.

Press was not allowed into the event.

Trump then delivered remarks at the club around 3:45 p.m. and left a little over an hour later for Morristown. He flew out of the New Jersey airport at 5:20 p.m., landed at Joint Base Andrews at 6:10 p.m., then left for the White House at 6:20 p.m.

He arrived at the White House’s South Lawn at 6:30 p.m. and also didn’t speak to reporters, instead waving and giving a thumbs up.

After returning to the White House, Trump called in to Fox News at 9 p.m., saying he’d learned of Hicks’ positive test and that he was awaiting the results of his own.

Trump confirmed the news via Twitter in the early hours of Friday, and the couple remain quarantined at the White House residence with mild symptoms.

Hey, nobody is talking about the no taxes and looming bankruptcies. WINNING!

I love The Onion

GOP Senator Mike Lee also has it

Here's footage of him running around and hugging people with no mask on

[quote]Apparently he has been moved to Walter Reade????

[quote]Walter Reed [R300], it's not a drug store.

Actually, Walter Reade was a chain of movie theaters. And now it's the name of the screening room at Lincoln Center.

So we can all lay off Hope Hicks. She isn't the hero of this story.

Of all events, it looks like it was Barrett nomination ceremony in Rose Garden as the super spreader event. Essentially everyone who attended it will test positive sooner or later. The irony!!!!

AP: A senior White House official said Friday that masks will still not be mandatory at the White House, describing facial coverings as “a personal choice,” despite overwhelming evidence that they help to stop the spread.

Everyone needs to know the truth. These are the facts.

Gosh RBG’s final earthly request is turning out a lot like the one on the Mummy’s tomb.

I wonder if he's gonna apologize to Herman Cain when he sees him.

Only the best people!

Mother of seven children risks her and their lives at the behest of an unscrupulous, mentally disturbed man offering her a job. Oh, yeah, she's fit to serve on SCOTUS.

No mask? No robe. Enough of our humoring these imbeciles who hold the power of life and death over us.

This will be the crowd at the Mall on the day of trump's funeral. Far less than for his inauguration, so sad he won't see it. No one will miss him. Everybody knows that.

[quote] It's sad (but not surprising) that the Left is turning out to be as crazy as the right with conspiracy theories about how this is all faked

The difference is the right actually believes its conspiracy theories. The left laughs at ours.

Mike Lee? He's not the fattest guy but he's still pretty chunky. Rona loves fat guys - so cushy and comfy.

Caption this photo:

Rudy Ghouliani has tested negative.

[quote]AP: A senior White House official said Friday that masks will still not be mandatory at the White House, describing facial coverings as “a personal choice,” despite overwhelming evidence that they help to stop the spread.

That should work out well for everyone there.

[quote]Rudy Ghouliani has tested negative.

I'm pretty sure the undead have natural immunity to Covid.

We hope you die.

We hope you die soon.

We'll be waiting for you to die.

NYT: "Some Republicans looking for an upside expressed hope that Mr. Trump's condition would prompt him to refrain from the inflammatory rhetoric that has alienated many voters and make the election less of a referendum on his behavior."

Little Marco is telling the rest of the world now so that he doesn't have to tell them later:

Marco Rubio @marcorubio Any adversary who views news of @POTUS testing positive as an opportunity to test the United States would be making a grave mistake.

Is thatbfrom Airplane! R371?

I don't have twitter, but just retweet Trump mocking Hillary's pneumonia for any asshole who sounds like Rubio

R377, Little Marco should stick to his foam parties and stay off of Twitter. It was a better look for him.

Trump and his closest followers.

Can you imagine the screaming, yelling, wailing shit show in the Trump Lair today, as he blames everyone else, shivers and shakes, passes out and then wakes up screaming again? And all the while in his delirium he sees his chances to avoid prison pouring down the stack pipe (reinforced) under the golden toilet, and then switches to how he can use the virus to rally his base base.

Meanwhile, in another part of the "residence," Melanomia is expecting the 10-pound weight loss to leave her svelter that Eee-vanka and telling her aides,

[quote]Giff me a fucking break! Tell theee assholes of press, yes, Her First Ladeeship ees takink precautions. She ees wearing a masque. Jennifer Lopez Placental Face Masque. Then slam phone down. DO EET. DO EET!!!!

Has Biden tested positive for Alzheimers yet?

R54 Yes. This is a STUNT to keep Trump Trump Trump Trump playing on all stations for the next two weeks.

Just confirmed on @MSNBC

Notre Dame President Fr. John Jenkins, who attended the Amy Coney Barrett SCOTUS announcement on Saturday, has tested positive for COVID.

Infuriating. New Zealanders can visit the local cinema, their favorite restaurants and send their kids to school without fear of infection because they were able to contain covid, TWICE! The "greatest nation in the world", has the most deaths from the infection and infection rates continue to rise! 6 months out, POTUS is infected after dismissing the threat of covid as a fake Democratic China virus that will go away any day now but hold onto the super duper vaccine that will arrive just in time for election day so there is no need to mail in your ballots although the election may just have to be cancelled?

FUCK YOU.

DL is so concerned with children's schooling choices.

It took just nine days for Boris Johnson to test positive and then enter the ICU, and he was near death within 2 days.

Herman Cain went to the hospital 10 days after Tulsa, and was dead 30 days later.

So the over/under for Trump to die is 11-40 days (which is after the election).

#prayersdown is the best thing on Twitter right now.

Marco Rubio positions himself to be Pence's VP pick after Donald dies from Covid.

[quote]The White House would not say if Trump would soon be addressing the nation.

[quote]Press secretary Kayleigh "Pigeon-Headed Whore" McEnany only told Fox News: “You’ll be seeing and hearing from the president as he moves forward.”

“He wants to talk to the American people” but staff are “having to hold him back a little” and “make sure that he takes it easy,” she said.

Ahead of his time.

Reality check is that we won't know Trump's real condition because it would be a huge national security risk. The fact that he lies all the time only makes it seem like it's par for the course for him, but if Obama were to have ever been sick no one would have known about it because national security risk.

Melania's Rose Garden could be like a Yellow Fever Swamp: the drainage inadequate, the verdant humidity laden with contagion, the hot, fatal breath of elite Deplorables wafting around the enclosed space like a miasma of the Devil's Respiration!

If trump's reaction to covid gets really bad it could take far longer than two weeks to recover. He could be out of commission for months.

What are the prospects for DL fave closet-case John Pence in Uncle Mike's administration? Will he be taking on Jared's role?

This throws the MAGATS into a pandemonium?

PLANDEMIC???

This throws the MAGATS into a pandemonium?

PLANDEMIC???

Don't Melania's parents live at the WH part-time? Have they been around recently?

R394 Inshallah!!!

OMG, I've cracked it.

Trump knows he is going to lose and doesn't want to go through the motions anymore. So he claims he has coronavirus and will eventually hand over to Pence who, win or lose, pardons Trump and his family; the ill health thing means he leaves office with some sympathy and hopes to avoid further prosecution, thinking no one will have the appetite to indict a dying/unwell man.

Yes?

No, Melania's parents have a house near Barron's school. Melania and the kid spend a lot of time there.

R400 - if NY state charges him. Pence can't do squat.

Was The ShitKing 👑 part of the plandemic all along?

Trump is obviously SICK in bed and we still have had NO communication from the WH regarding his condition. Any normal president would have already had at least two briefings from the presidents doctors explaining what’s going on.

Rep. Jahana Hayes (CT), recovering from COVID, just on MSNBC. Said her office used tight protocols, which limited infection to herself and one staffer. But added that congress has no uniform protocols and staff are NOT routinely tested. In fact it's so hard for staff to access tests they often travel to VA, where they're more available, and pay out of pocket.

Trump is treating America like he treated his Atlantic City casino...he came in, fucked it up, and slunk away.

Vas not just Atlantic City casinos R406

It's a beautiful October day in NYC.... like God is smiling down on all of us.

Can I have his stuff?

No, Ted, because you're next.

Thanks, R400! No one else has posited that theory before!

Nicolle Wallace just started... should be good.

How could our Most Orange ShitKing be dying of the Libtard Hoax Virus 🦠

Where is our Most Hateful Rightwing Jeebus in our hour of deepest hate?

Nicolle is on fire already!

out only hope is more repub senators get it and get very sick but with the process starting on Oct 12 there's not much time

[quote]Nicolle is on fire already!

So is Jake Tapper.

Lindsey Graham reportedly has anal Covid.

it's hilarious that Trump had time to go on Hannity last night despite all this. What a fucking moron

“They say.....”

CNN: Three WH reporters have tested positive, two of them were at Saturday's Rose Garden event.

R362, Even at a low price of $2.50, that turkey of a Man of La Mancha film wasn’t worth it. Sophia looked great, though.

Stay positive, asshats!

Well, his vanity is still intact.

ABC News: At least 5 people tested positive for COVID-19 after attending the official SCOTUS nomination ceremony at the White House Rose Garden.

Oooh, there were two private indoor events before the ABC Rose Garden event. One was with a group of evangelical leaders.

A little music to pass the time...

Kayleigh McEnany says Trump is being treated with Regeneron's antibody cocktail.

[quote] Oooh, there were two private indoor events before the ABC Rose Garden event. One was with a group of evangelical leaders.

God will protect them, just like he did Jerry Falwell Junior. Oh, wait...

Why you won't hearing Trump's voice anytime soon.

Maggie Haberman

The president's symptoms are said to include a cough, nasal congestion, low-grade fever

Also

Has received an 6 gram dose and a drug cocktail.

NBC News: President Trump is being treated with an 8 gram dose of Regeneron's polyclonal antibody cocktail, his doctor says.

NBC's @HallieJackson & @carolelee report he has a low-grade fever. His doctor says he is "fatigued but in good spirits".

Correction, it was an 8 gram cocktail and more vitamins.

“He’s in good spirits”

No, he’s not.

He’s so obese and a senior citizen so I’m surprised these are his only symptoms so far.

It really irks me that these lowlifes get the best possible care.

They should be treated like regular folk. Like shit.

Trump's doc reports he got a single dose of monoclonal antibodies

[quote]He’s so obese and a senior citizen so I’m surprised these are his only symptoms so far.

It's early.

Nicole Wallace marveling at the surrealness of this all

WKYC Cleveland: City of Cleveland announces 11 positive cases of COVID-19 stemming from 'pre-debate planning and set-up.' The city adds that the majority of those 11 cases have occurred among out of state residents. No city residents appear to have contracted coronavirus as a result of the debate, but that could still change.

He got Regeneron. He may be one of the first humans to get it. It could be an amazing drug but totally experimental. They gave him the highest dose. No other person in America would be able to be treated with it yet. But I bet it saves him.

I bet Melania didn't get it.

They are now admitting he has a fever.

Sanjay Gupta: "I think we're seeing an increasing level of concern about the president."

Says the 8g dose of the polyclonal antibody is the highest dose possible.

Have they tried giving him three scoops of ice cream, instead of his usual two?

That and a My Pillow, and he’s good as new.

Nancy has tested negative

I like presidents who don’t catch coronavirus.

Ugh they’ll save this fucker’s life.

I hope they stocked up on Depends at the White house; with all that coughing he is going to be sharting himself even more than usual.

They might be able to save his life, they might not, we don't know. They'll certainly try but he's fat fat fat and he's lazy. He doesn't walk on the golf course, he always takes an escalator, can't walk down a ramp, sweats all the time, he's almost immobile.

Rona loves to make itself at home inside fat guys.

Joe Biden speaking now. Sent thoughts and prayers then brought it back to issues important to Americans. Jobs, the economy.....I LOVE JOE

R308, LMAO! Totally apt, because that’s basically the “long and the short” of it of this long ass CoViD Quarantine, sans the beach 🏖

LMAO, still.

I want Trump’s (eventual) ventilator to be shaped like a large black cock.

Joe is giving an excellent, very Presidential speech. The kind Trump has never given.

Vice President Biden's hitting every note and pulling no punches in a very impressive speech. The Biden campaign remains on full throttle.

[quote]Has received an 6 gram dose and a drug cocktail.

Only 6 grams because Don Jr. swiped the other 2.

Who would have guessed in a million years that THIS would have been the October surprise.

R453, I agree. Honestly, I never even considered it. This has changed *everything*.

I hope his condition becomes worse and he goes on a ventilator until around Nov 1st, then is conscious enough to watch the severe ass stomping on election night. Then I hope he is alive long enough after he is out of office to have his assets seized by whatever banks and people he owes money to so that whatever he has left is whittled down to nothing and his grotesque family inherits nothing besides global scorn. I don't care what happens to him after that.

I’m so glad! I hope he learned his lesson. Pride always comes before a fall! Happy fall Mr. President!

Those beautiful K-Poppers on Twitter have already totally shat all over #PrayForTrump. Oh Happy Day!

Just bring in Joe and let him take over early.

It is all a hoax. He will be back on the plane to one of his super spreader events or on the golf course by next weekend. Then the final hit. "Look, I'm fine! It was a baby thing, itty-bitty stuff, and I handled it."

Crowds go wild.

Biden tanks. You heard it here first.

President Obama took over early, I don't see why VP Biden shouldn't do it. He will have so much to do.

[R459] we first heard all that about 20 hours ago., actually. Do keep up. Thanks for trying tho.

I'm waiting for the announcement that Trump's been brought to the hospital. At that point I'll be ready to party.

FFS people, read the thread!

We know the Notre Dame President tested positive. We know about the Rose Garden event. JFC.

R147,

As of now, I am in control here, in the White House!!

[quote] Let that sink in.

*eyeroll*

Holy fuck!

Hospitalized like that *snaps fingers*

Who's going with him on Marine One? 5:30. They waited for the markets to close down.

Ooooh and I'm out of fucking champagne.

Will they put a mask on him?

R462, time to par-tay down!

Nicolle Wallace announced he's leaving for Walter Reed Hospital.

I'm sure he's learned his lesson.

Right, Sue. He'll handle the next pandemic much better.

Yes, r102. Yes, it will.

Who is consoling Miz Lindz?

[quote]Lindsey Graham reportedly has anal Covid.

But he is responding well to the ventilator.

He has a very deep throat, R481. I'm sure he'll tolerate it exceptionally well.

He’s on his way to the hospital 😲

R484, for "several days" at least.

Uh oh, he goin’ to the hospilla!

A typically superb column from The Guardian's Marina Hyde on why the jokes should not stop

We know FFS r484 and r486! Did you not see the numerous posts above yours?

I've never felt this jubilant over the progression of someone's possibly fatal illness.

Cheers!

Are we sure this televised Marine One isn't a diversion, meanwhile, because Trump can't walk, they're hauling him out the front door on a gurney to Ambulance One?

R489 As a Brit, I felt that earlier this year, though unfortunately Boris recovered.

Will he walk out of the White House? Or come out in a wheel chair? Or on a stretcher?

Make sure they pack my good hair!

The best is yet to come!

So Pence is President when Trump is admitted?

[quote] Will he walk out of the White House? Or come out in a wheel chair? Or on a stretcher?

I’m anxious to see that myself. And r491 makes a good point.

No, r496, unless he’s unconscious or under anesthesia.

HE has to cede control to Pence unless he’s actually incapacitated.

In which case that should have taken place on 1/20/17.

In which case that should have taken place on 1/20/17.

I'm sensing a variation on the "Dave" scenario.

They claim they are having him come out is a part of keeping the public calm.

Melania, upon hearing her husband was rushed to the hospital.

Rev up the Clorox intravenous.

R463 = Asshole thread monitor.

Fuck off frau

Barron says it for all of us.

R506, be careful. R463 will scold you because that photo was posted in a thread from August 2017.

MSNBC was talking about how they still don’t know why Trump went to the hospital back in November - there were rumors that he had some mini strokes.

Trump doesn't mind dying from this and neither does his family. They all hope he does die.

There are some things worse than death.

To Trump, that would be to be a LOSER and be world-wide humiliated.

And all day the White House said Trump has a mild case. Then they give him the experimental antibody. Now they fly him to Walter Reade. Is it still a mild case, White House? They don’t know how to tell the truth.

Did they call in Chris Watts to help get the body out?

How he gets to the helicopter should tell many things...

[quote] So, what we're saying is, COVID-19 moved on Trump like a bitch...

Yes, r512, and I’m waiting with bated breath to see how it happens.

Good point made on MSNBC. If he survives this, he then has to make the case that he is healthy enough to serve another four years.

It’s now being called a moderate case.

It’s now being called a moderate case.

you reap what you sow

[quote] It’s now being called a moderate case.

Moderate my hairy ass.

So it has been almost 30 minutes since the helicopter landed. Wouldn't he have walked out by now - if he were able to?

[quote] Did they call in Chris Watts to help get the body out?

Yep and Pastor Davey is going to pray for him as soon as he gets off the phone. He's been parked in front of the White House for quite a while.

I wonder what that hair looks like on a sweaty, fevered head.

Change of plans. They're putting the body on the Metro and dumping it off at Arlington Cemetery.

I have a feeling he is dead, or near death.

R524, I don't think he'll make it through either. I called it yesterday -- dead before the election as the *real* October surprise!

Katty Kay on the BBC seemed unusually perturbed. Obviously there's probably a lot of info coming her way at the same time, all whilst she tries to anchor, but it is unusual for her to seem anything but cool and calm.

“Serious. They’re using the word ‘serious.’”

It must be serious -- they've summoned Nelson Muntz to give the last rites.

R524, I have felt that all day. Something is going on and I have this feeling that he won’t last even a week. It will be one of those fast ones.

He’s in horrible health and shape.

Too bad he didn’t have to walk up a ramp.

He knew he was sick. Told you he’d try a joker on Biden

R515, that's actually not a good point. He got infected through his own stupidity, and there may be long-term consequences due to that infection

Do you think that all those years of Adderall abuse could help tip the scales? It feels like a lifetime ago that he was demanding Biden take a drug test. LOL

Trump walked out of the White House wearing a blue suit and a face mask. He boarded the helicopter and at the moment I write this, is flying to Walter Reed.

FOX News is reporting that Trump is piloting the helicopter.

The mask over his face prevented us from fully assessing how he was doing.

R534, link please, thank you.

It was shown on MSNBC, R537.

He is about to get off helicopter at Walter Reed.

[quote]FOX News is reporting that Trump is piloting the helicopter.

I rather doubt they are, as he doesn't know how.

Bless your heart, r540.

Just. Bless it.

[quote] It was shown on MSNBC, [R537].

It was shown fucking everywhere, [R537].

Fixed that.

LOL @ R541!

Jesus, R542. I happen to be WATCHING MSNBC, but in NO MEANS did I think it was an EXCLUSIVE to MSNBC. Take a friggin' pill.

Oh I’m just busting your balls, r544. I’m in a great mood. Don’t take it too seriously!

They just showed his “proof of life” video. He doesn’t look very lively.

That video showed his real skin tone, pasty white.

[quote]Just. Bless it.

OK. show a clip where they said he was piloting the helicopter.

That proof of life video looks like they have him nailed to a 2x4.

Well he better get down off that cross, Jeebus needs the wood.

R548, are you that fucking daft?

The guy was obviously making a joke.

A GOOD Joke at that!

Major Garrett reporting on CBS was very stern, lecturing the current administration for not following protocols of informing the US citizens with complete information on how Trump was doing. In the meantime politicians were shouting that this is no time for partisanship but for everyone uniting. After Trump spent his whole time in office dividing us? Fuck that shit.

Caught by his own hoax

The new Spitting Image take on how Trump caught it

Trump campaign indicates it will NOT join @JoeBiden in pulling negative ads.

“Joe Biden used his speech in Michigan today to attack President Trump. He’s in no position to say anything," @TimMurtaugh tells me.

Tim murtaugh Is truly one of the creepiest human beings I have ever seen. He literally looks like a snake, with his black eyes and his inability to smile. He is truly creepy.

According to CNN, all of this is happening because Trump is a frightenedl little pussy. His temperature kept going up as the day went on and he freaked out. They gave him the experimental therapy to try to shut him up, but it didn't work, so they took him to the hospital.

It’s okay if Biden pulls those ads. The Lincoln Project won’t be. And TLP already has one about all this.

[quote]They just showed his “proof of life” video. He doesn’t look very lively.

Why couldn't they just cut off an ear an mail it like they usually do?

That doesn’t always work.

Jim Acosta reports his sources are telling him it was becoming serious. He said they mentioned "trouble breathing."

Grab him by the pulmonary.

This guy?

You don't think he looks like a barrel of laughs? Huh.

Well, if he wants a slew of negative ads about what a shit-stain his disgusting boss is, he'll get plenty from the PACs. Vice President Biden doesn't have to get down in the gutter with the scum of the GOP.

[quote]Trump campaign indicates it will NOT join @JoeBiden in pulling negative ads.

Put them back on the air, Joe.

If tRump keeps them up, then I see no reason for Joe to stop.

This miserable fat fuck better not fucking croak and get out of being perp walked to Rikers!

Keep him alive long enough to be arraigned on tax evasion and RICO charges so he can be humiliated.

The Lincoln Project won’t pull their ads. They’ll ramp them up. I am looking forward to their one on this dumpster karma

With them pumping out delicious shit, why should Joe dirty his hands? Let the anti-dump Repugs do the dirty work (and pay the bill)

Man, this week has been something else.

The Lincoln Project weighs in.

Just broke that Senator Thom Tillis has tested positive.

Thom Tillis is poz. He was in the rose garden and is also on the senate judiciary committee. This is going to get a lot bigger

Here's a new one from TLP, it's not about the Loser having Covid, but it's about Covid.

I don't want Trump to die before the election because there are people who wouldn't vote for a ticket with him at the top, but they sure would vote for Pence.

After the election, he can drop dead.

Two R Senators have it. Hopefully Mitch gets it next.

Hopefully the coronavirus won't get infected with Mitch McConnell

Mitch’s dreams of ramming ACB through a confirmation is rapidly dwindling.

Can it be transmitted rectally?

Asking (nervously) for a friend.

He’ll be dead by mid-month.

Sen Thom Tillis tested positive.

Senator from North Carolina. Up for re-election this November. Polls have him behind.

Thom Tillis is in a very tough race for re-election in North Carolina.

Hey, God? It's me, Margaret. Franklin Graham was at Saturday's Super Spreader Rose Garden Party. I'm just sayin'.

Video of the Amy Coney Barrett event on Saturday at the White House.

Smug idiots.

Between Trump, Tillis, and Lee, it's gotta take out/hit one of them very hard..

Tillis and Lee met for 90 minutes with the rest of the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee on Saturday, I believe. That includes Chuck Grassley, who is 87, and vowed this morning he will not get tested.

[QUOTE] That includes Chuck Grassley, who is 87, and vowed this morning he will not get tested.

Why on Earth would he say that? He’s third in line for the presidency.

Grassley's ass is grass if poz.

The meeting was actually Thursday. I'd forgotten which day it was. Grassley's spokesperson said Chuck hadn't been in contact with anyone infected. But he had been. Lee. And now Tillis as well. So I have no idea what Chuck's problem is.

ASSley

Slow the testing down.

That one phrase sums up the failure of his presidency.

ONE phrase, R592?

Bill Barr was in the front row at that event!

If he doesn't get tested, he can't be positive

[quote]That includes Chuck Grassley, who is 87

At this age people are either dead or retired and playing with the grandkids. Why are these walking corpses still in the Senate?

Remember when it was all a big 'hokes' [sic] and the Deplorables of Twitter had neither met nor heard of a single person in their shithole counties who had gotten sick?

Their new thing is: So what if he didn't wear a mask?? I know dozens of people who wore masks and still caught it.

Is this still a hoax virus that will go away without taking anyone out?

New thread

BAJOUR!

R548 ! (the mind boggles)
