Trump and Melania test positive test positive for Covid 19

[Elagabalus]

Biden/Harris don't really run negative ads. That's the PACs. The candidates can't control the PACs.

Excellent. There's that plausible deniability.

I don't see how it would backfire. It's not about being mean spirited. It's about people understanding that we need a leader who listens to doctors and scientists as opposed to one who ignorantly thinks he knows better. That we need to do what is right for our parents and grandparents and our neighbors and for our country.

Biden has been careful to do that when explaining his wearing of masks.

Never ceases to amaze me how truely nasty and catish the left can be, while simultaneously trying to take a moral high ground.

It is pretty funny.

I think you're talking about the right.

But NZers seem to find American misfortune funny in general, so I'm not sure that means much.

 

[Giordano]

Hogwash. Legally it's "can't control," but for all practical purposes it's an only-slightly-indirect extension of their campaign.

Yes but there are real cases where politicians have lost any influence on a rogue PAC. And many more PACs push into areas that are off message for the politician. I suspect Biden would rather have several Lincoln project videos be taken down as too edgy.

I was kidding! That story is like two hundred years old. Anybody who cares about it already knows the ending. In which Dumbledore, son of Rhaegar and Lyanna, dies.

Spoiler alert!

Also:

All of the months have 28 days.
Survivors aren't buried.
You're the bus driver.

I think that you were right anyway. If I assumed everyone knew it (which I did) I never should have bothered to explain the plot.

And boy did I learn the sub context from your post!

 

[slyjoe]

Doesn't make much difference, but Trump actually had two positive tests on Thursday (WSJ). First was a rapid test then the nasal swab.

It cracks me up when people on the right attack the hypocrisy on the left all the while ignoring it on the right.

As for the jokes about Melania, you have to admit Trump's entire life sets ups the jokes.

Here's a man who cheated on his two previous wives and married two of the women he cheated with. And each was much younger. Marla Maples being 14 years younger than his first wife and Melania being 7 years younger than Marla Maples. And note, each were models or beauty queens. It's almost cliche for a very wealthy man to trade in their trophy wives for younger models.

This is getting ridiculous. Trump was not wearing a hidden oxygen tank or concentrator.

What is identified in the Twitter post as a possible cannula tube is just a lock of hair. In the photo in the article you posted you can see that same lock of hair. There is a high resolution version of that photo. There are other s very clear still photos. They all show that it is hair.

Those photos show that there is no tube coming over his ear. There is no tube going into the mask. The mask is rather tight and there is no bulge showing a cannula underneath.

The "tube" running up the back is just the natural crease in the jacket. The shirt underneath may have had a crease. As Trump walks up the stairs to the helicopter he leans forward and you can see that the back of the jacket is flat.

He may have had something in his pocket, but not something large and heavy like a oxygen canister or very small concentrator. I don;t know what he had in his pocket. Fish-bones, goblins' teeth, wet shells, a bit of bat-wing, a sharp stone to sharpen his fangs on, string or nothing?

I’ve only just been bothered catching up with this thread so have only just viewed video of Trump walking two M1 on the WH lawns.

From the 00:15 mark on this CNN broadcast you can clearly see the flesh coloured earpiece in Trump’s rigHt ear and the wire leading from it going down the back of his jacket.
Security? Hearing aid?
Dunno, but I don’t think even Stormy Daniels would want to know that Trump can breathe through his ears.

Can you point out the earphone and wire in this photo?

Regardless of any of our personal feelings about Trump and our animosity. The simple truth is that public health and safety will improve tremedously once he is no longer making public health and safety decisions and that day cannot come soon enough.

"You can't be a hypocrite (or pretentious, or 'not as X as you think you are,' or similar concepts) if you are just a nihilistic troll with no standards!"

 

[Minoosh]

Must protect the President!

I don't mind the forum's Trump defenders. It's a clue to how his supporters think. If you have nothing positive to say about this president, attack the left.

Meanwhile, Trump's campaign managers must be ecstatic that Trump is out of the way for a while. The country doesn't really need another debate. A photo of Trump's unmasked family in a room full of mask wearers would be nice though.

I wonder if anyone will be wearing masks at the White House tomorrow. It could look bad for Trump staffers either way.

Forget Trump's condition; Biden is not out of the woods yet!

That's the insanity of all this. Trump has not only not been protecting American citizens, he has been undermining their public safety.

Speaking of hypocrites:

If Biden becomes ill, do you think Trump will pull down all his negative ads? Will he send his prayers and well wishes to Biden and his wife? Will Fox news suggest that Trump put his campaign on hold for 14 days the same way they suggested Biden should for Trump?

... and they love him for it.

Of course they will. Trump and Fox are nothing if not Fair and Balanced.
