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.

lionking 1st October 2020 09:44 PM

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.”

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.

Hold up there.
It is far more accurate to say “Trump claims to have tested positive.”
After all, no lie is too big for President Chucklehead.

Melania declares war on christmas in a recording made by former friend and aide, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff.

Quote:

In the recordings, apparently made without her knowledge, Ms Trump can be heard saying: "I’m working like a – my ass off at Christmas stuff that you know, who gives a ******* about Christmas stuff and decoration?
She also seems to explain her "I Don't Care -- Do You?" jacket.

Quote:

"OK, and then I do it. And I say that I’m working on Christmas planning for the Christmas. And they said, ‘Ooh what about the children, that they were separated? ’ Give me a f***ing break.

“Where they were saying anything when Obama did that?”

The Great Zaganza 1st October 2020 11:34 PM

Politically, the only thing that can safe Trump's Corona Narrative now is if Biden catches it, too.

Anyone want to bet how long it will be before we see trump tweet to complain about either people being happy he is sick, or people"politicizing" his personal illness.

The Dems should publicly send a "Get well" card. Inside, it reads "Get well and truly".

I hope he survives it because I want to see him voted out.

TurkeysGhost 2nd October 2020 03:41 AM

Covid definitely owes us a W. Trump dying wouldn't work off the whole tab, but it would put a dent in it.

It would almost be karmic justice for known germophobe Trump's last waking memories be getting intubated for a pandemic he personally played a massive role in spreading conspiracy theories about.

If only Donald Trump had some kind of influence over the organisations that could prosecute those ne'er do wells instead of President Biden running interference for the last 4 years. If Donald Trump is elected President he'll finally be in a position to do something about it :rolleyes:

Poking time -

Trump blames low-income people, minorities for 'ruining' suburbia.

Quote:

“By the way, just so we can get this straight, 30 percent of the people in the suburbs are low-income people. Thirty percent of the people in the suburbs are minorities. And so we’re ruining this American dream for everybody,” Trump said.
I don't want to waste my time writing up a condemnation of the obvious here, though, so moving on.

Texas' governor has made a somewhat remarkable attempt at voter suppression.

Quote:

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has issued a proclamation limiting each of the state's counties to only one mail-in ballot drop-off location for the November election.
Some consequences?

Quote:

Harris County (population nearly 5 million people) must now reduce its 11 drop-off locations to one starting on Friday.

One location for 5 million people. One location for an area that is 1,777 mi² in size.

Travis County, which includes the reliably Democratic city of Austin, must limit its four drop-off locations to one.
Yeah, that's BS.

I want him out. He is the biggest threat to American democracy since World War 2. My very country and freedom are at risk. He is doing everything he can to undermine the election illegally and immorally. He has already multiple times indicated that he simply will not accept losing. He has also made statements that encourage his followers into violence and even civil war. If you haven’t read about how the Nazis took over Germany.

Lose the election? How? Dead by COVID-19 would guarantee he is out.

.....and then his successor would take over.

IMO President Trump is merely a symptom of the problems that US democracy is facing. Without him the GOP would still be purging voter rolls, closing polling stations, introducing voter ID laws and making as difficult as possible for certain people to vote. The GOP still want a majority of the power with a minority of the popular vote and an even smaller proportion of popular support.

pgwenthold 2nd October 2020 09:29 AM

I honestly couldn't care less if he dies. Don't give one whit.

That ******* went on national tv on Tuesday and mocked Joe Biden for wearing a mask. And now he is sick.

I don't think his replacement (i.e. Pence) would be anywhere near the order of magnitude of the problem Trump is.

As already corrected, Electoral College votes. But more so Trump and his minions are already doing whatever they can to disenfranchise likely Biden but not Trump voters. Arranging to prohibit mail in voting in Democratic states, slowing the mails if that doesn’t work, eliminating virtually all drop off boxes (as in Texas), etc. They are not even trying to hide the corruption!

In addition the Republicans are already challenging the count. Making it difficult to count the ballots and trying to implement rules that cut off the count after Election Day itself. And Trumps threatens to simply not accept a result wherein he loses, consisting both of calls to his followers to disrupt the count as “poll watchers” and attempts to rush formation of a favorable Supreme Court. All this and more to create anarchy if the count goes to Biden.

So no, the election is likely to not to go to who gets the more legitimate votes.

Again, look up to how Hitler was voted into office. And that was probably more fair than what the Republicans are implementing.

But dead is dead. I trust dead.
