It's unclear whether he's in serious condition, or getting better. Meanwhile Chris Christie, Kellyanne Conway, three GOP senators and others have tested positive for coronavirus
And now we have the sick political theater in which Trump, a man infected with Covid, puts all the Secret Service and others in danger by going out for a joy ride outside the hospital to wave to his fans.
25 people have been infected thus far, and unknown numbers of WH and Bedminster employees, secret service agents, security agents, Air Force One personnel, audience members at the debate, GOP donors. Literally, no one is running the country. We have nothing but conflicting information about the health of the president, McConnell is ignoring all stimulus relief or other legislation in his mania to confirm Barrett (who also seems to have no conscience whatsoever about allowing others to be exposed to the virus, either at the WH event that she attended maskless or the impending confirmation hearings). Who is in charge as Pence scrambles to fill the propaganda gap left by Trump's hospitalization? Do any of the experimental treatments Trump has been given cause delusions or otherwise impact decision-making? We have a failing economy, an unrestrained pandemic, untethered quasi-militia groups, a deadlocked Congress, and no one in authority can be trusted on any topic.
I think they all got it Saturday at the ABC ceremony. Look at who has it and the incubation period. That means they exposed everyone at the debate. His whole family flouting the rules on mask wearing is just so on brand. I also don’t want him to die, but I would have no problem with him getting very sick. I want him to be humiliated by the loss and the destruction he has wrought on this country. We’ll never know the truth. That joke of a conference by his doctors was right out of North Korea. And those photos and videos? You want us to believe he actually ripped out all his IVs and monitors and is just sitting around in a conference room signing things? Seriously doubt his doctors would allow that. I also, as someone who was saved by Obamacare, am so fried that he and Christie are acting like checking into the hospital is like checking into a hotel. None of us have that luxury, and how many families have had a loved one on a gurney in the hallway? None of us get experimental treatments right out of the gate. Disgusted. The only bright spot is Biden is up by 14 points. But that still means we have to VOTE, DONATE, MAKE CALLS. Keep at it! Thanks for all you do Mike!
My suspicion is that he's much worse off than the officials are letting on. It's totally illogical for his doctors to be giving him Remdesivir and an unapproved antibiotic cocktail given only to people on a compassionate basis because they're desperate. I cannot imagine an experimental drug like that ever being given to a President unless the situation is nearly grave. He's 74, morbidly obese, gets no regular rest, does not exercise, is under unbelievable stress, exists on a steady diet of Big Macs and large fries, and no doubt a load of comorbidities. For him to pull through in good shape is nothing I'd expect. They lie so often that the only thing I'm sure of is that he's far worse off than they're admitting. If you need proof of what I'm saying, when was the last time he rage tweeted? With all the time on his hands that a resting rhinoceros like him should have if he's there just resting, we'd have seen a hell of a lot more than just one ending with the word LOVE.
Okay, the fact that this White House can’t ever tell the truth and facts of anything, creates a void. When you have a void all conspiracy theory breaks lose.
Trump is an ass, tempting fate. Most of us can’t be so careless with our own health or the health of others. We don’t have instant tests, some people don’t have healthcare and have families that are full of compromised immune systems or pre-existing conditions, and lost of people have to work. Most people won’t get the Best treatments like Trump will receive. And you just watch, if the orange bloated whale survives this one, he will claim it’s because he’s so viral!
Ps. I won’t cry if Steven Miller dies a slow death. He’s pure evil
So much of this timeline makes no sense. I think he was sick earlier in the week and was planning on hiding it until his symptoms got worse. So irresponsible and I think criminal to spread around the virus for days. This is got to be one of the most vile things he has done and I think most days he does absolutely horrible things.
The concern for me, is one of the security of this country . We are in a weakened state of chaos, and now with tRump in hospital, we have an extremely delicate state of affairs. What are Russia, China, North Korea & a host of others doing ,without our knowledge ,to take advantage of our weaken state? We have a failed leader, now hospitalized, we have a pandemic out of control, a chaotic administration, mass protests, and all this while a presidential election is upon us. If we had a stable, common sense strong leader advocating serious science based pandemic national policIes, if we had an administration that had avoided nepotism & unqualified appointments, a leader who did respect and trust our intelligence and CDC, instead, we have a president who is hell bent on destroying an already lousy health system, corrupts the justice system, actively promotes divisive rhetoric and applies partisan policies in favor of red states. Does this make us all feel SAFE & SECURE?
Happy Saturday everyone! My take, over 200K people has died due to COVID-19. Children are now in the high numbers, The Orange Turd knew that the virus is dangerous and played it down. For the GOP and other people involved that followed Dear-leader on his lies about the virus, what did he say, “It is what It is”!!!?
'Arrogant, Irresponsible': Bill Barr Faces Criticism Over Refusal to Quarantine After Rose Garden Event.
This irresponsible White House and Republican party continue to believe in herd 'mentality' while infecting most of the people who work there. And the Congress members who attended are already finding positive tests. It seems to me that postponement of the the SCOTUS confirmation is inevitable. This is right out of a Greek tragedy or perhaps King Lear?!?
Now he’s saying he knows everything about COVID. What do you want to bet we hear “you don’t know anything about COVID, Joe, I know everything, I had it and it’s not that bad, it’s just like bad flu, and I am so smart, the doctors can’t believe how smart I am” and on and on and on. 30 days people. We have to get rid of Fake Bone Spurs. I didn’t think I could hate him anymore than I already hate him.
Thanks for letting us vent and share here. It’s my favorite thing of the weekend.
The few things keeping me sane right now are my wife Suzy, your show, those SiriusXM music channels, The Criterion Channel, and Vic Berger's video editing magic. One thing I forgot to mention is that my wife will soon be out of the occupational rehab facility after her hip replacement, and will be coming home Thursday.
And as an optimistic pessimist, I doubt any of them has learned or will be learning any lessons about covid and its dangers. Look at how his health is being played down as though there is nothing to worry about. The usual bs with one big negative ooooops to the doctors for being active cover-up artists.
It takes 7-10 days for the symptoms to show up and be positive on the test. There's a week before Wednesday tRump was likely contagious. There's a trail of devastation tRump has caused.
Christie having it is very bad. I hope he survives for his family's sake, but I don't see him making it. And I'm assuming Barr has it, since he refuses to say one way or the other on his test results.
I'm disgusted with tRump family actions at the debate (not wearing masks). I'm proud to support Biden and his leadership with being proactive and compassionate to the President (even though we KNOW he wouldn't reciprocate if the situation was reversed).
As much as this impacts the election campaign, it also massively disrupts Mitch's plans . . . if he loses enough republican votes from being absent due to isolation / quarantine / hospitalization / death, he's sure as hell not going to bring a vote to the floor. He's already shut the Senate down till Oct.19 - two weeks before election day. It'll be interesting to see what shape his caucus will be in by then . . .
Here's my take on the timing. Trump probably knew during the debate that he tested positive (I'm not buying Wednesday either) and on Wednesday when the new rules were proposed and he objected strenuously to them, that meant no more debates. But he couldn't back out of them (he still thinks he hasn't), so they waited until the last possible minute (probably when he needed oxygen at the White House) to annouce he had tested positive, just after midnight on Friday morning. I wonder why the news media didn't ask why news like that was released very very early in the morning - it's not like he JUST found out as he was trying to say. So the Pence-Harris debate will be the last, because whether or not Trump is healthy enough to take part in them, nobody wants another "shit show" so his health will prohibit, etc.
And now we have the sick political theater in which Trump, a man infected with Covid, puts all the Secret Service and others in danger by going out for a joy ride outside the hospital to wave to his fans.
