All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

[shooshoomanjoe]

There's word about the White House Staff having a bunch of people being ready to quit because of how Trump and those closest to him handled his infection. He knew he was sick as early as Wednesday and was still wandering around the residence without a mask, and off at fundraisers. But there are, per some rumors, disgruntled aides who have also become sick, or know people who have become sick because, and stop me if this sounds shocking... Trump just didn't give a f*** what happened to anyone else. And that NOBODY is thrilled with Mark Meadows, either, for leaking Trump's health condition being as severe as it is.

One article has an Occam's Razor explanation of Mark Meadows from former House Speaker John Boehner that amounts to, "He's an idiot. I have no idea what makes that guy tick."

I won't believe it until I see it.

I mean, same? But it sounds more like the plague rats want off a sinking, infected ship.

No way Trump is coming out tomorrow. The drugs he is taking -- Remdesivir and Dexamethasone (the steroid) require dosage and careful monitoring. If he comes out tomorrow he'll be endangering himself and everyone around him even more than he already is.

I say let him do it!

Yeah, like he cares. The only thing that matters to him is looking strong for his cult.

How long before Trump starts claiming his doctors are the deep state and he's fine but they won't let him out? Because let's be real, that's totally a move he'd go to.

Who’s going to stop Trump from leaving if he wants to leave? But hey, if he wants to fuck things up more than they already are now, by all means, have at it, Donnie.

Sure, what’s the worst that could happen?

If the virus takes him out and they drop the price I'd buy one for the irony.

It's not a "bold" statement. Cases outstrip deaths. Fact.

Herman Cain was not "most people". Herman Cain had a lot of underlying conditions, and was old. Those are two huge factors. Herman Cain also did not receive the same level of care the President of the United States would.

Herman Cain was a wealthy man who got the very best care. Trump's age and morbidity puts him in the 92% survival demo, not 1%. But, there are many lingering long term effect to COVID.

The only thing making me happier right now is watching the Cowboys getting curbstomped by Cleveland. Toomey has been a disgrace, even before Trump became president, and he’s slurped the Orange Menace every chance he got while hiding from his constituents because he’s a cowardly asswipe. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

The left-wing magazine Jacobin suggests the main problem with the Berlin Wall was aesthetic.

Its founder has taken the stand that the murder of the Romanov children was justified.



Jacobin was described as "the leading intellectual voice of the American left" in a Vox profile, and the most successful American ideological magazine launch of the last decade in a Columbia Journalism Review profile.
