Pence has apparently agreed to allow a plexiglass barrier to be erected near him at the debate as long as it understands that he's a very heterosexual, married man and he can ignore how hard and firm that barrier is, its warm, unyielding surface beckoning his touch...

Facebook announcing it's banning all QAnon accounts. Better incredibly late than never, I guess...but from what I've seen they've already begun rebranding weeks ago in an effort to bypass this kind of crackdown.

So, Trump's announced he's leaving the hospital this evening and that he's "feeling better than I did 20 years ago."
That's funny -- in less than a month, I'm going to feel better than I've felt in the last four years.

You can WH Press Secretary and Stepford Wife #4 Kayleigh McEnany to the Rona list.

I feel like the Guardians of the Galaxy would get some mileage from an old Cheech & Chong movie.

Drax: "HA! He does not realize that Dave is the person he is talking to, because he has been smoking the Earth drug until he is stupid!"
Groot: "I am...Groot?"
Rocket: "It's not as funny when you do it."

Quote from: Dr. Sean P. Conley, the White House physician
“I didn’t want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction, and in doing so, you know, it came off that we were trying to hide something, which wasn’t necessarily true,”
I've not a damn clue how to interpret this statement. It appears to be apologizing for their rosy outlook on Saturday, but everything else...

The virus is listening. They were trying to hide their strategy and feed it misinformation so that it wouldn't know what they were doing to fight it.
It is The Virus Whose Name We Dare Not Speak. Trump confirmed for eldritch abomination.


EDIT: Honestly, at this point, I half expect them to wheel out Miracle Max to announce that he's only "mostly dead". When asked how low his blood oxygen had dropped, the doctors evaded the question. When asked again if it dropped below 90, they responded with "It didn't drop into the low 80's." Which is a diplomatic way of saying yes.

beware the martyr effect didn't Reagan get reelected because he got shot or something like that?
Reagan was shot early in his first term.

Man if he doesn't get better, get ready for Qanon saying the deepstate gave him bad threatment for a super benign disease. I wonder what kind of hypocrisies we'd hear at his funeral.
I'm telling ya, they're gonna claim he faked his death and now he's completely free to launch The Storm without being bound by politics.

Yep, any day now. Aaaaany day. Possibly coinciding with The South Rises Again and Hell Freezes Over.


EDIT: And in the midst of all this, let's not forget about poor Rudy Giuliani.

They'll Hail Mary on one of those artificial hearts and shit of that nature before they let him die, it's just not conceivable that they'd do anything else. Surgical risk doesn't even factor into it.
For some reason, that made me think of Lloyd Bridges' character from Hot Shots.

"My eyes are ceramic. Caught a bazooka round at Little Big Horn. Or was it Okinawa? The one without the Indians."
"My ear canals are very sensitive. They're stainless steel. Took a bullet at Corregidor, 1945."
"I have a sensitive bladder. Got part of it blown off at Guadalcanal in 1942."


Now I'm picturing him coming back half-cyborg, and someone saying "He's more machine now than man, twis--actually, he's nicer now."

Yeah, Trump's best family relationships were probably with his brothers, and he didn't seem to particularly care when either of them died save lying about not drinking because of the first one.

If anything, he'd probably be happy to get rid of most of his children. Maybe not Ivanka, barely. Definitely Eric.

Oh by the way, stupid asshole Democrat Cal Cunningham probably just sunk his campaign by being a fucking horndog moron who'd lose an IQ test to a pile of dogshit, so unless Tillis actually does get rona'd it looks like we're stuck with him after all. Fucking Democrats.
Yeahhhh, I was about to come post about that. Goddamn it Dems, at least be smart enough to use a burner phone if ya gotta have "the sexts", as the young people say.

Or just fucking embrace it and make it part of your campaign platform -- a nude in every phone.

EDIT: Ok, may not be that bad. The actual texts are so mild even Mike Pence wouldn't get turned on. And I'm hearing rumors that Cunningham might be in an open relationship (and believe me, that is way more common around here than you might think).

Also, seeing a lot of people giving literally zero fucks about this.

Shit, maybe that magic spell I half-assedly put in that spoiler is working?

Phhht!
Confirmation bias ahoy.


Wouldn't it just be hilarious if this "mask theater" bullshit the right has been pulling literally is the death of them?
Especially given that apparently none of Trump's coterie at the debate were wearing masks, even after being offered them.

Which brings me to wondering when the Trump Boys and Ivanka get their results back?

New nightmare scenario -- Trump recovers but Ivanka dies. Trump, stricken with grief, demands China clone her* or face war.

*"Only...maybe make the boobs a little bigger this time?"

That's assuming a population mirroring the national population at-large. The government (especially Congress and the upper WH echelons) are disproportionately old folks who are rich enough that they don't have to have good health. Remember, pre-existing conditions substantially increase the mortality rate. Just think of all the bloated, wrinkled sacks Trump has around him.
Melania and Hope Hicks will probably do okay, they're younger and appear to be in good shape.
Chad Wolf, Tom Cotton, Matt Gaetz, Mike Pompep -- probably okay.
McConnell, Barr, Lindsey Graham? That's iffy.
Wilbur Ross? Start picking out caskets.

Conway may have died two weeks ago and just hasn't been notified yet, no one would know the difference.
