The Biden administration (was: The NEW 2020 Election Thread)

Chris Christie, who helped Trump to prepare for the debate, has also tested positive.

Another senator has as well. I didn't look close enough at the story to see who it was though.

[tim_m]

It is starting to look like the outbreak started at Trumps SCOTUS announcement. Am i the only one seeing the irony in this?

Pre-existing conditions?

Some are saying RBG won her first argument in front of god, but yeah in all seriousness it is pretty obvious someone had it there and is spreading it.

[tim_m]

What a cluser fuck of misinformation. Trump's doctor is clearly lying. Says he misspoke about 72 hours since the diagnosis, came back out to say specifically Trump is still working very hard, but a source inside the hospital say Trump's vitals the last 24 hours are very concerning. The next 48 hours are extremely critical, even the press release they put out has typos.

The amount of Tweets and retweets from Donald says a lot!

If he was ok he'd be yelling about something.....

Yep he is incredibly quiet for him, even the 2 times he's tweeted could've been dictations.

Doesn't feel good.  Most people and it's recommended, you rest when you're sick. Never thought we'd be missing those. 

I'm kind of surprised not seeing the faithful holding vigilance outside of the hospital or did I miss that?

Yeah, we're splitting hairs a little bit. Yes, it's probably still Social Democracy...but it leans even further left than, say, Bernie's flavor of Social Democracy.  As soon as the government gets involved with setting the kinds of things being discussed, ESPECIALLY price fixing, you are getting REALLY close to "cooperative ownership".  You're right..you're not QUITE there. But you're walking the razors edge.

There's a fundamental difference between an economic system, and a political system though. You can have a Socialist country with totally unregulated markets. All Socialism calls for is businesses operating like credit unions. Cooperative ownership doesn't mean state ownership, although it can be organized that way. You seem to be thinking of a command economy with the term "price fixing". But he only said "govt forcing them to lower prices", which could be achieved any number of ways. Even a price ceiling wouldn't be the same as price fixing (which isn't the same as a command economy). We already have a a price floor in regard to wages. That alone doesn't make America Communist or anything approaching it.

Aw, that was a nice video from Trump.  Worried about his country and his wife.  Honking support going on outside.

[PermissionToLand]

Watching the 20 second video, and his walk to Marine One, his color was terrible (no jokes, here), his shoulders slumped, and he was pretty low energy in that video.  He sounded congested, too. WH says he's running a low grade fever.

Oh no, that must mean Don Jr. has Covid, too!

A little comic relief for the Trump supporters who I'm sure are stressed right now.

There's a small group outside the hospital with Trump flags and posters, oh and apparently the leader of the proud boys is now there.

He doesn't look good. Next few days are extremely critical.

Well now that can't be true, because that would mean Trump didn't actually disavow them!

He looks pretty weak and frail in the video and I doubt he's seen the worst of it yet. He's only just began getting symptoms. I think they deliberately wheeled him in front of a camera while he's still remotely presentable just as damage control.

Okay, bad joke but did you wonder if he was wearing pants?

LOL

He looked like hell -
Needs the tanning booth again

[cineater]

Screw the doctors, get the nurses out there.  They know what's going on.  I think he should just stay at the hospital until he's in the clear.  All those people are in PPEs.  The White House staff isn't trained for that.

[tim_m]

Trump is now being treated with Dexamethasone. Which is for inflammation. At this point we have to assume he's got lung damage.

[tim_m]

Wow so Trump just put his secret service detail and his driver in danger for a photo op with his supporters outside the hospital. What a disgusting human being.

If you knowingly expose someone to HIV it's a crime.  How is this not along the same lines?  If they get covid and die, is it like the drug supplier getting charge when someone OD's?  It's all in the same realm, isn't it?

Trump needs to borrow the popemobile.  Bad person, bad jokes, what did you expect?

He already killed Herman Cain. He needs to be forced to reckon with that fact for the rest of his life.
