Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

The Beaverton is a satire site. It was a bit TOO on the nose to be real : P

Yeah, 100% satire. I mean, just read the quote "attributed" to Gavin McInnes:

“We Proud Boys stand up for Western Chauvinism and political violence,” explained Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes, “but we can’t allow ourselves to be associated with all this gay content. That’s why we’re changing our group’s name to something manly and tough, with cool matching leather jackets that could never be misconstrued.”

“There’s absolutely nothing gay about a bunch of dudes hanging around each other in leather. Go Leather Men!” chanted McInnes to his identically-clad followers.

I...is that even that unbelievable? Didn't McInnes shove a butt plug up his butt on-stream to "own the libs"?

[Ayirasi]

Should call themselves Strap-On Boys, because they strap on their weapons, and gear.

If we can move away from satire that's somehow more disturbing than what you thought I was doing with my lunch (I am at the office, people!) I found this TheHill article detailing how the Party of Trump cannot keep up with Trump's rapid flip-flops on COVID-19 relief.

The gem of the article?

One GOP lawmaker told The Hill that he believes the party would have been better served if Trump received more input from lawmakers and actually listened to them.

“I believe that President Trump’s decisions would be improved, as would his political standing, if he actively sought and listened to members that represent communities in this country,” the lawmaker said.

Wow. Well over four years (RNC nonimated him) too late for that approach. Are you just now figuring that out?

The Party of Trump is doomed to follow the random whims of someone who, at least while he's on the good drugs, has an excuse for acting crazy. Republicans had ways to escape, but four years later, if you haven't spoken up yet, you're in the Party of Trump. And whispering disconent behind closed doors just makes you complicit, but complaining.

Besides that hilarious Rasmussen +12, Biden is now pulling ahead in Wisconsin and SC is a toss-up, including Graham's wife.

The second and possibly final debate is tonight, starring Harris putting Pence behind two layers of plexiglas for her protection. Trump's taxes make an amazing coincidental shot back into the headlines while a hurricane bears down on the most Trump-based states and motherfucking Pizza Hut goes bankrupt.

Trump can't run on Trump's record. Pence can't run on Trump's record, either.

Recruiting a dead person into your religion is not remotely the same thing as calling someone by a name they don't like or used to go by but no longer go by. Those are not the same thing. And what "official" records are you talking about? Dead-naming someone, for example, doesn't go into any record... are you talking about something I didn't respond to?

Sorry. But generally when I hear this stuff, especially when related to religion, it's when a person dies and the family/whoever names them the birthname on their tombstone. But if you meant the normal "just talking" stuff, I apologize.

It WAS NOT a butt plug.
It was a (black i think) dildo.

I remember the days when this site had advertisements for Gavin McInnes.

Fuck that racist piece of shit.

[solinari6]

Btw, here's a proud boy leader claiming they are not homophobic, so they don't care about all that #proudboy jazz. Probably just trying to save face:

Enrique Tarrio, a Proud Boy leader, told CNN that the group was not homophobic and that he did not understand what using the hashtag was trying to accomplish.

"I think it's hysterical," Tarrio told CNN. "This isn't something that's offensive to us. It's not an insult. We aren't homophobic. We don't care who people sleep with. People think it's going to bother us. It doesn't."

... is "own the libs" some new fangled slang for "desperately make a ridiculous arse pull (literally in this case) of an excuse to do what you secretly want to do but are ashamed of wanting"? because that would explain a lot of behaviour in the US

Btw, here's a proud boy leader claiming they are not homophobic, so they don't care about all that #proudboy jazz. Probably just trying to save face:

did he then go on to add "we're just good old fashioned racists you know, not gay bashers. it's not right just bunching all of us hate groups together like we're the same!"?

[draynay]

I...is that even that unbelievable? Didn't McInnes shove a butt plug up his butt on-stream to "own the libs"?

I'm sure the libs have been owned many times since.

[kaid]

Okay. Okay. Okay. I don't know where to put this exactly but I need to get the words out of me because I'm dying here.

The Proud Boys, after being trolled by the gay community online, are apparently changing their name to "Leather Men".

Please someone tell me this is a joke. @Elegiac I need your input here. I just can't.

EDIT: I HAVE to assume it's satire. I have to. Please someone confirm where this started because if I laugh any harder I'm going to aggravate my injury.

OMG yes please let them call themselves the leather men and then have our lovely gay brothers show them the true leather men.

Trump has antibodies! \o/



Still waiting on the news of when his last negative test was.

This is impossible, by the way. It is tested that, at the earliest, you cann get antibodies at about the second week of infection, or at least in nunbers that are detectable.

He was injected with monoclonal antibodies they may not be detecting his antibodies but the stuff he was injected with.

I respond with a tweet:

"The patient had a whopping (8g) dose of a #SARSCoV2 neutralizing IgG antibody cocktail. Then they detected antibodies. You must be kidding me, Dr. Conley?"

He was treated with a massive dose of an antibody cocktail, and then obviously tested positive for antibodies.

Who would have figured he'd have antibodies after...pumping him full of antibodies.

If this information is true, then he may have had Covid-19 for longer than they admit.

Anyone else see that "Doctor" Con-ley is a FACEP? Is that Face Plant?

There is evidence that he had it for a week before the news broke.

Isn't Trump's "Doctor" a glorified Chiropractor?

In the EU that's more what an Osteopath is, but apparently in the US it's a proper "doctor" and focuses more on holistic treatment vs. body manipulation etc.

Though I'll listen to infectious disease specialists advise during a pandemic than my GP.

As in all biological things there are large variations; less than 40% had them the first week, but it could still happen.
It's a bit sketchier here as you would normally first see IgM and then later IgG, and they detected IgG.

Or as others pointed out they detected the antibodies they injected (which are IgG), or he had it even earlier.
