    Because that would mean admitting that Trump is worse off than they want to admit.

    I wonder what our resident anti-abortionists think about Trump now that we know:

    1.) Trump requested Regeneron personally.
    2.) Regeneron was made using embryonic stem cells.

    There’s only 3 answers (multiple answers are ok):

    1.). Trump has conned you into thinking he’s pro life, and the Republican Party is conning you into thinking they are as well. Do you like having your “moral beliefs” used as a tool to fall in line?

    2.) Embryonic stem cell research is ok, and republicans are anti-science especially for being against a valid technique.

    3.) The rules don’t count for trump, which means you’re not pro-life, you’re pro-control and think women are subhuman and must be controlled.

    What’s the answer?

    It would be funny if that got him out of the debate tonight. Can’t debate a VP, when he is the acting President... they found another loophole!

    I'm not a resident anti-abortionist, but I believe their go-to answer will be:
    4.) Trump declared it a "blessing from God" so that makes it all okay because God willed it.

    4.1) They think god directly gave them Trump as their leaders so whatever he does is gods will.

    We can’t talk about it, but if you read or watch the reason for the justification... it’s crazier than you assume. Let’s just say... a rebuttal would be... Trump is not Job...

    Edit: I research conspiracy theories... so you don’t have to... really... don’t...

    Earlier in this thread I made an aspersion that the side effects from the drugs used to treat Dotard Trump would be indistinguishable from just like...standard Trump. Well I'd like to rescind those comments. Apparently it should of been obvious that Trump could be Trumpier but I figured that Trump was already at peak Trump because Trump is so...well...Trump? Anywho, I was wrong and I'd like to apologise for assuming that the bar couldn't go lower, it was silly of me to think as such.

    Isn't it hilarious how just a week ago Trump was demanding that there be a pre-debate drug test?

    When Kronik tells you someone is high on drugs, I tend to take their word for it.

    I think a more accurate quote is:

    Trump barely has any of his own money.

    I’m not sure if an honest accounting would ever rate him a billionaire. He has always been more style than substance.
    If I remember right, Deutsche Bank has had a close look, and sets it as low as $150 million.

    Pence is flopping around like a dying fish. Literally repeating Fox News talking points.
    “You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.”― Malcolm X

    I watch them fight and die in the name of freedom. They speak of liberty and justice, but for whom? -Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor Kenway)

    "Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking. I'm speaking." was amusing.

    And her use of "y'all", she knows the way to my heart.

    Pence is doing his best to not blatantly lie but still lie. "She said the American people had failed" no she didn't, she said the Trump administration had failed.

    Imagine the US tax payers have to live with the fact that Trump gets a salary/pension from their tax money for the rest of his life..
    Hi

    Yuck.

    48,715, once again nearly 8k more than the previous Wednesday. I think we can safely say cases are definitely rising again.

    Texas: 4,175 new cases; 119 deaths
    California: 3,445 new cases; 97 deaths
    Illinois: 2,630 new cases; 42 deaths
    Fuck Florida.
    Wisconsin: 2,319 new cases; 16 deaths
    Tennessee: 2,080 new cases; 21 deaths
    North Carolina: 1,711 new cases; 23 deaths
    Missouri: 1,522 new cases; 26 deaths
    Georgia: 1,492 new cases; 30 deaths
    New York: 1,466 new cases; 26 deaths
    Ohio: 1,409 new cases; 23 deaths
    Pennsylvania: 1,294 new cases; 28 deaths
    Indiana: 1,281 new cases; 16 deaths
    Michigan: 1,214 new cases; 8 deaths
    Kansas: 1,095 new cases; 17 deaths
    Iowa: 1,063 new cases; 14 deaths
    Utah: 1,007 new cases; 8 deaths
    Oklahoma: 1,006 new cases; 9 deaths

    I'll be brief because the debate is on and the biggest takeaway from today's totals is simple: Cases have shot up a significant amount again nationally. All of the trends we've been talking about (primarily in the Midwest) are continuing and now a lot of the rest of the country is starting to see increases. As the weather continues to get colder and more and more activities take place inside this will get worse.

    I was correct yesterday in stating that deaths would be higher today thanks to a correction: 932, roughly the same as last Wednesday. The total is now 216,784 . Florida CONTINUES leading the daily death totals despite not reporting accurately.

    Related news:

    COVID-19 cases are rising in 39 states.
    Wisconsin hospitals are so slammed they have to open a field hospital.
    Some good news: Another bad sequel is being postponed due to COVID-19 concerns.

    Stay safe, folks.

    Crede Bailey, who heads the White House’s security office, is not just positive but also gravely ill. As in "he's been in the hospital since September" ill.

    Bailey is the security official most often blamed for giving Trump's children security clearances they don't deserve. It is possible that he'll die for the Trump family.

    Given the mortality rate there's a decent chance at least one of the 30+ infected dies even with the best healthcare. And they're still not taking it seriously.
