The Russian national anthem?If Fox News switches to a program of patriotic music, that'll be a signal.
Fox News is suggesting that Biden suspend his campaign for 14 days.



That might be plausible. But it means Trump is giving up his rallies, at least for a while. Would he pay that price? And Nixon's phlebitis got worse after he resigned and after he was pardoned, and it was a condition he had had previously. Hard to believe he and his docs made it up.

It is. Oh yes, it very much is. Coincidentally, it also helps with sleeping problems.Is that even a thing?

Famotidine is for diarrhea
You made me go look! And that's by Andy himself!
That Conservapedia cite,
Is that supposed to be parody? Wouldn't Trump be surrounded with loyal aides who would make sure his treatment was appropriate and get him to a hospital as a precaution? If the writer was being serious, he/she must think that Trump is so intensely disliked by everyone in the White House that they would do whatever they could to sabotage his health.
What a bizarre statement.
ETA:
So this is meant seriously? Does anyone realize what it says about his ability to inspire loyal assistants?
Note they waited till after markets closed to move Trump to Walter Reed.
In general, what would a hospital have that isn't replicable in a White House suite?

I mean sure, that view makes sense in a cold, emotionless robot kind of way. But I always thought that one of the things that made Trump a particularly evil person was what all those things in your list suggest about him: He gives zero ***** for anyone but himself and what's good for him. And I thought what made (most of) the rest of us different from people like him is that we were capaple of empathy towards other people, even if we hate them. I see no upside in selectively discarding basic human decency; it just puts us at his level. It suggests that all of us are capable of being just as "cruel and thoroughly nasty" as Trump is.
Well said, though I think you're working too hard answering disingenuous crap.The victims being thoroughly nasty toward the victimizer is a whole level of different that the victimized being thoroughly nasty toward the victimizer.
It's in the same vein of the father attacking the rapist who defiled his daughter.
It's part of our nature. It's why we have prisons. And in some jurisdictions still, the death penalty. Humanity has a ways to go evolutionarily before the doctrine of turning the other cheek sticks in our DNA. Until then, we'll some of us revel in the just desserts befalling the wicked.
And Trump is wicked, even if for only the one sin of knowing early on how potent was the virus and "playing it down", to the detriment of at least 100,000 people who needlessly perished and aren't here to see a small dose of Karma at work. Screw him. I feel the same kind of rage against him as induced by the likes of Stalin.
