Trump and Melania test positive test positive for Covid 19

You lost me. What does an Irish actor have to do with US President that died in office after only 31 days?



Never mind. I see they look one hell of a lot alike.

Sorry!

Googled him and his picture just said Spike Milligan to me in a looking likey way.

Bad joke

Guess it depends on whether you think older people should catch a global pandemic and celebrate it in a weird sadistic joy.

Even if you don't like the bloke like most people it would seem a tad odd. But each to their own.

This bloke in particular has had something of an outsized role in getting other blokes to disregard caution in the face of this global pandemic. Trump catching covid will measurably save lives.

I agree.

Just don't get why people celebrate it.

A point I heard made today I think is very important to keep in mind. Sorry in advance if anybody else made it, but I'm not going to read another 9 pages for it.

He's more than a man now, he's become a movement that represents the worst America has to offer. He, and it, need to lose, very explicitly and publicly, so that the marginalized, the people they've done real harm to over the last four years, see both of them roundly rejected by their American neighbors.

That Rose Garden event is going be known as the Garden of Death event.

Somehow, I don't think the forum moderators would allow members to start a contest :

"List the Rose Garden dead, in the right chronological order, and win a free pass for your next suspension"

Trump's campaign manager, Bill Stepien, has tested positive, according to Politico.

And have we mentioned?:

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel announced earlier Friday that she, too, is infected

What if Judge Amy Coney Barrett gets COVID-19?

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's a merged thread. If you look back on page 1, at the top of post # 1 (by marting) you'll see in bold print a line saying "Trump and Melania test positive test positive for Covid 19". That's the thread title, which appears in bold at the top of the opening post of a thread when the thread is started. So marting either started a thread about this topic yesterday at 8:56 pm central time, or posted that comment in the general Trump thread and a mod moved it from there to start a new thread specifically on this topic.

Now look at post # 12 (by Stacyhs). At the top of the post you'll see in bold print a line saying "Trump and Melania test positive test positive for Covid 19", indicating this was the opening post of a thread. So Stacyhs started a thread on this topic today at 12:02 am central time.

At some point the two threads got merged. And since marting's was posted 3 hours earlier and 6 minutes earlier, marting's post appears first in the merged thread.

Something I find interesting is that the merged thread title, which contains what I assume was an inadvertent double use of the phrase test positive, appears at the top of the opening posts of both the threads which were merged. I doubt both marting and Stacyhs made the same error in typing out their thread titles, so it appears that when two threads are merged the same title is placed at the top of both opening posts. I'd never noticed that before. (Or maybe that's what happens when a mod creates a new thread from posts split from an existing thread and merges that with a thread someone else has started. If so, then the error in the title wasn't the fault of either marting or Stacyhs, it's a moderator who typed in "test positive twice"...)

I posted Hope Hicks tested positive in a Covid/politics thread which started an immediate series of responses since she was exceptionally close to Trump. Much speculation that Trump would test positive and it shortly included the information re Trump and Melania since about an hour later that news came out.

A mod pulled it out and combined it with this thread. My Hicks post shows up first because of the time stamps.

She has told others she had Covid-19 during the summer.

Lol

Good catch on the "i"

But it still doesn't change the fact the left now seem to get some glee from other people's misfortune, just because they dislike them, while preaching how nice they are.

Waaaaaaaaaaaah!! Clutch those pearls.

I wonder if the little petri dish rugrats (aka children) who attended that Rose Garden thing were the super-spreaders of this thing?

There is concern now in Republican circles that there won't be enough votes to ram through the Barrett confirmation because too many senators will be out sick or quarantined with Covid.

Seems to me Trump's early hospitalisation is all about being able to walk and not be carried out on a stretcher, plus to try out as many unproven therapies as he can.

He is ******** bricks right now, I'd say.

Just don't get why people celebrate it.

I'm not sure the forum software would have room to list all the reasons his illness should be celebrated and his death cause for a worldwide party, so I'll give you just a couple:

His ignorance, arrogance and stupidity have cost probably half the death toll in USA.

His neener-neener "Lookit that wimp Biden wearing a mask!" only three days prior.

He is a disgusting human being and a waste of oxygen.

Also, see my "Worst things Trump has done/said" thread.

Somehow, I don't think the forum moderators would allow members to start a contest

Sure they would - I have both a Trump Dead Pool thread and a Covid Roulette thread.

It's never too soon.

I was going to mention that, too.

They're already two down for the next fortnight, although they may be able to vote by proxy if they're only at home - someone will know the answer.

Two so far and more to come, I imagine. I hope at least one of the cases has kissed McConnel since the event at the WH.

I don't imagine they can vote if they're unconscious on a ventilator.

Yep, I was ninja'd. I was just reading Elizabeth Warren saying:

"Two Senate Judiciary Committee members tested positive for COVID-19 today. We don't know when we'll know just how many people have been infected. The Senate cannot safely proceed on the Supreme Court nomination. We must focus on containing this virus to protect members and staff."

Never mind the left - that orange piece of **** stood on camera and said "It's beautiful" when NZ had the second cluster commence.

You want to talk about people wishing others harm, he's the worst of the worst.

The single thing that would upset me if he died is that religion is bunkum, so there's no chance of him screaming in agony for millennia. Racist, sexist, serial sexual assaulting, disabled-mocking, fraudster... the bloke deserves every bad thing that could possibly happen.
