White House Correspondents, 9 out of 10 of them, are shallow and silly—-with Zero historical sense. They are outclassed in every way (especially intellectually) by this @PressSec⁩, @kayleighmcenany⁩, another stunning performance today: 10/1/20

It’s obvious that the media’s plan is to bury us all in an avalanche of lies and lunatic conspiracy theories in the hopes that Americans don’t notice they’re running a phony and a mediocrity for the presidency

"The riots were never a popular uprising; rather, they were always the work of elite Democrats: That is, state and local Democratic officials who permitted, even egged on, the rioting; the Democratic media which looked the other way."

I love the smell of Trumps fear in the afternoon, it's the smell of victory.

That's the smell of his wet Depends.

Indeed. This is fairly similar to the "race war" push by the Boogaloo crowd. There's just no real appetite for it in the general public - rather, it's more reasonable to expect a bunch of domestic terrorism to be incited by a tiny minority.

Ehh... Highly doubtful, on both points. Fox is more likely to be momentarily distancing themselves, at best, while they listen to the way the wind's going. As for drawing the line at White Supremacy? Pfft. Fox may balk at open endorsing of White Supremacy, but mainly because they've been working for a long time to create and prop up at least a thin veneer of plausible deniability for much of the right to grasp onto while feeding it at various levels.

I'd be more inclined to think that Paul Ryan took a step back after horrible polling and advice that it would be smarter for him to just step down then if he wanted to become President later. I don't see it as all that likely that he's specifically working to ambush Trump with Fox News, honestly.

Funny thing about the debate performance, former staffers have said, "That was the real donald trump you saw." The one they had to deal with. They say, for starters, when trump arrives in the West Wing he is usually in a foul mood. As in the debate, he talks over everyone at staff meetings, refuses to listen to anything he doesn't already agree with. The reason why a former staffer said, "You have no idea how difficult it is to tell president trump something he doesn't want to hear. He just refuses to listen."

Look at the list of people who worked for him and then quit. The only people who speak well of him are people who are still on his payroll.

An ethnic minority and a woman, a twofur.

I did some more looking into the O'Keefe video, it's a fake as an eight dollar bill.

Sahan Journal: How did an August primary election in Minneapolis turn into a national right-wing disinformation campaign against absentee ballots? You can read the details at the site if you're interested in your own opinion. Don't let my POV distort your POV. But the scam is pretty transparent.

Of course Trump voters don't care so push back on this if/when you can.

Ahh. Just to to poke at the Proud Boys -

This is fairly certainly something that everyone should watch to understand them a little better, given their leader's words.

Warning, it's not pretty.

Fake news. I'm sure it's a doctored video. :rolleyes:

I feel an overwhelming sense of sympathy.....

Nope, wait a second. It was just gas.

From: CBC
Hope Hicks, one of U.S. President Donald Trump's closest aides, has tested positive for the coronavirus.
...
Hicks travelled with the president multiple times this week, including on Marine One, the presidential helicopter, for a Minnesota rally Wednesday, and aboard Air Force One to Tuesday night's first presidential debate.

Hard to have any sympathy for people responsible for helping Stubby McBonespurs win elections, considering the number of people who have died because of their actions.

(I debated whether I should put this in the Covid19 thread, but I put it here because of the close association between Trump and Hicks.)

Dare I say it? I hope she's having an affair with him.

Wouldn't it be interesting to see Trump come down with COVID in the next few days? Wonder how that would affect the election?

I would never wish Covid on anyone. I'd make an exception for Trump.

What about Moscow Mitch? What about the army of Trump enablers in congress and his administration? Steven Miller? Steve Bannon? Trump is only able to do the things he does because people in the GOP let him.

200,000 plus people have died because of that SOB. Maybe a wakeup call would have an effect.

Helping.

If he dies from it? Quite a bit, I'd think.

I feel that way, and have .said it before, but it seems that he is at high risk

Certainly. But what if Trump is hospitalized two weeks from now? What does that do to the election?

You know what? It's taken a very short time, but I am willing to entertain the possibility that it's all BS -- a constructed distraction from the disastrous debate. The POTUS and FLOTUS are now self-quarantining, according to reports.

At this point I don't think it's remotely a conspiracy theory -- in fact I think it's quite likely. Goes to body of work.

Is it Trump's way of avoiding another debate?

It's fine, there's mute buttons on Zoom too.

I don't see it that way it all. It's a coincidence. Hope Hicks was found to have been exposed to COVID-19. Quarantine the president and first lady just to be safe.

Well, it will certainly be less shouty.

Sure. But I thought COVID was a hoax?

Another plus in the conspiracy-theory theory is that she can quickly “recover” so that Team Trump can point out how harmless it is.

Nice of Trump to show whether pre-symptomatic transmission is a thing or not.

It's suspected, but not yet proven.

Plus, he's been on HCQ, so he won't be worried at all.

So Trump and his entourage might have passed it to others during the debate?

Just good, patriotic Americans. I can see that. Even Ann Coulter likes them and she's a good christian virgin. She may give birth to Jesus 2.0 one of these days.

The risk is minimal.

I want a unicorn too!

Nothing. Horace Greeley's death didn't stop the presidential election of 1872. (Greeley died after the popular vote but before the Electoral College vote. He lost in a landslide anyway.)

My thought, too. Although the word is that she is symptomatic (and I don't wish particular ill for her), I don't necessarily believe it. Will it be a "miracle" recovery? This administration will do anything -- anything -- to increase the possibility of an election win.

I will be very surprised if The PDJT's self-quarantine makes it past noon tomorrow, regardless of his test results. Even if he tested negative, he should still be in quarantine for 14 days.

How about this. He is the first to try the new, secretly approved vaccine, he is now fully recovered and cleared from quarantine within 5 days. Trump has defeated Covid, and now so will the rest of the USA.

Except that if Vampire Pence gets it too and has to quarantine, Pelosi gets to be president for the interim. And she can order all sorts of changes to reduce or eliminate the electoral obstruction the Trump team have been desperately erecting.

But most of all, I would like to see her sack all the White House staff and cabinet secretaries who are rabid Trump sycophants. Bye, Miller! Bye, Betsy! ;)

I was thinking more “the doctors say my blood naturally produces COVID antibodies so they will be able to synthesize a vaccine from my blood. Of course I’d be more inclined to donate this life-saving blood if I were president.”


And we shouldn’t rule out “Say, that’s a beautiful little country you got there. It’d be a shame if anything happened to it in the next ten weeks. Many people are saying that terrible things happen to countries every year.”

Well, well, well.....Trump has tested positive for Covid. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Donald and Melania just tested positive. Threesome?

Doubt it.
Melania won't share a bed with him.

My guess is both had a fling with Hicks separately.

No. His base doesn’t want to hear that.
He will have to say “Every hard-working American (wink, wink) will get a million dollars.” After all the Always-Trumpers don’t want everyone to have a million dollars - that money should be given to just the right people.
