Cont: Biden for President? Pt 2

[kookbreaker]

.

Trump holds an event where not only he contracts the virus, but so do several others attending because they don't distance or wear masks. They hold rallies where they jam people in closely together who also don't wear masks who are yelling. Three of Pence's staff tested positive, including his body man who works closely with him day and night and his chief of staff. Does Pence quarantine himself? Hell no.

So what's your real point?

Few days ago someone posted on this forum tweet of some rethuglican (unfortunately I don't remember exact phrasing, otherwise I would directly link) that said something like "Biden is doing nothing [in context of election]. Only way he can win is via voting fraud.".

This is true point of Sherkeu's insinuations and "innocent" wondering.

Lessee here. How was this handled by each?



So both contracted the virus during non-campaign events. And what did Harris do when notified she'd been exposed?


Let's compare that to what Trump and Pence do.

"It’s the Biden campaign’s first major coronavirus scare, after months of safety precautions that drew mockery from President Donald Trump, even after he, first lady Melania Trump and others contracted the virus themselves. The Democratic campaign’s cautious reaction underscores the differences in how the rival camps have approached the pandemic, both in terms of preferred government response and in the candidates’ personal protocols.

Biden’s campaign announced two positive cases Thursday morning, identifying Harris’ communications director Liz Allen and an unnamed member of the flight crew for one of Harris’ recent campaign trips. The campaign announced a third case Thursday afternoon as part of its contact tracing efforts from the first two cases.

The third individual is an aviation company employee who was on Biden’s plane for trips to Ohio and Florida earlier this week but who entered the back of the plane and sat far away from Biden, according to the campaign. Biden is not altering his public schedule, his campaign said Thursday, because he had no direct exposure to the individuals who tested positive, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

This of course suggests that Biden has to hold rallies to win. As if the election goes to whichever candidate spreads more COVID wins.

1) On this question of Joe Biden being somehow exonerated on the China deal, how so? WSJ news story correctly notes that his name isn't on documents. But those docs also suggest special care had been taken to make sure his name WASN'T visible.

An increasingly negative & unmasked @JoeBiden yells to a mostly empty lot, coughs into his bare hand, calls millions of Pennsylvanians who don't support him "chumps". A sequel to Hillary's snobby "deplorable" & "irredeemable" riff. They still think so little of so many Americans

The thing that gives me the most hope is the reek of desperation coming off the Trump campaign as they try to rebottle that 2016 lightning.

Nope.
I do not even think voter fraud plays much of a role unless the race is soooo tight in a one state decision that it would matter. It's a scare tactic played on both sides. Ballot harvesting bothers me but both parties can legally play that game if they want to. I think large scale fraud to affect the presidential race would be easily caught.

Oh and...did you just call me a rethugligan? Stay classy my friend.

Biden on Trump pushing baseless conspiracy theories about US health care workers overcounting coronavirus deaths: "What in the hell is the matter with this man?"

How did he get so deep inside my head?

And your point is? As you highlighted, the third person had no contact with Biden and sat far away from him. He also was not part of the campaign and it is unknown how he contracted the virus. Pence, on the other hand, was in direct contact with at least two of his close staff members who tested positive.

If you're trying to draw a positive comparison to how Trump/Pence are handling the coronavirus to Biden/Harris, you're failing miserably. And so are they.

They were on the same plane. I suspect you know how aircraft ventilation works? I really hope nobody else comes down with Covid from the incident but it is definitely a dangerous situation for VP Biden. Joe is not a young man and let's face it he's not physically strong.

I'm not drawing any comparisons other than no one is safe from Covid. And even though Joe has had much less contact with people than Trump has had, dangerous incidents like these still occur. Until we have a working vaccine nobody's safe no matter who has the reins.

I've found it darkly amusing that Trump is so sycophantic toward Putin. It seems plausible that Trump genuinely thinks Putin respects him and wishes him well, despite the likelihood that Putin has some dirt on him. But I think Putin is actually looking forward to the day when he can leave Trump swinging in the wind. It'll come as soon as Trump is no longer a usefully moronic tool, and it may come soon.

It amuses me that Trump now knows what it's like to be the toy the toddler got tired of. He's done it to so many other people it good see it happen to him.

So much spaghetti being thrown against a wall and none of it sticking. I'm enjoying their desperation.

Especially when the spaghetti being thrown isn’t even cooked.

I suspect you're unaware of the latest studies on this:

The US Department of Defense study supports earlier research showing the ventilation systems on aircraft filter the air efficiently and take out particles that could transmit viruses

Nonsense. That's exactly what you've been doing here and in another thread. But you are correct about one thing: nobody's safe from the virus which is why we need to take every step we can to lessen the chances of contracting it. However, you couldn't be more wrong about the person who has the reins not mattering. A president who mocks wearing a mask and encourages by example not wearing them and gathering closely together in large numbers and tells us "don't be afraid of it, you'll get it and get over it" is not the man to keep us safe. Hell, he's not even trying.

What about Bigfoot? Are they a potential vector?

They (his handlers) ripped Sleepy Joe off the stage yesterday when he got lost in a “mental fog”. A disaster. Very little reporting on this!
