    I mean, we knew this was coming. And she's been a particularly notable nutter who churns out these unhinged outrage-bait nonsense posts.

    The hope would be that this shakes US conservatives out of their anti-science and anti-expert stupor that they've been in for a while now, but sadly it'll probably just serve to fuel even more baseless conspiracy theories.

    As I recall, that was to maintain the separation of powers because he couldn't serve in both the Legislative and Executive Branches simultaneously. I'm not entirely certain as to the accuracy of that (though I got the feeling they typically did their homework), but in any case I suspect that were Pence to temporarily become Acting President due to Trump being incapacitated with Covid-19, he would during that time no longer be able to break ties in the Senate.

    If anyone ever had a thought that they could celebrate QAnon people finally realizing that their whole belief structure is just pure bullshit, this really will disabuse them of that notion. People who dive unabashedly into this level of conspiracy thinking are pretty much irredeemable. Some might break free, but they'll be the exception and not the rule.

    And out hunger, the plague and radiation poisoning, death by bullet is the preferable one, doesn´t mean it's good. just because other choices might be objectively worse doesn't mean a choice is good. Pence is a morally bankrupt crook.

    What? Pence believes electrocution will "solve" homosexuality. There are only two good choices, and luckily both are on the same ticket.

    He works for and with Trump. Posterchild for moral bankruptcy.

    And since you didn't understand it the first time:

    "Just because other choices might be objectively worse doesn't mean a choice is good."

    He could be Jesus Christ compared to the other, that still wouldn't make him any better, or good.

    So let's check in with the White House.

    Our standard protocol is CDC best practices and recommendations. Facial coverings are recommended but not required. There's hand sanitizing stations located throughout the complex, frequent washing of hands and good hygiene is strongly recommended and social distancing is encouraged. So, I don't foresee those things changing.
    "Ah, you found their guidelines before Trump got sick. Surely they've changed them by now."

    Um...that's from today. They were confirming that there would be no changes.

    Trump can't afford another Tulsa, but nobody wants to be the second Tulsa even more.

    The last jobs report before the election is out now.

    Unemployment is 7.9%.

    While this is better than early projections, it had just edged under 5% in 2016.

    In addition to never getting the GDP growth he promised, he'll also hit the election with fewer jobs than he started. All that work "he" did lowering unemployment from 5 to 4? Boom. Doubled. Not that he delivered on his promises if you stopped him at 2019, either, but this election isn't for Hypothetical President.
    Geeze basically the only reason it dropped.
    While the jobless rate fell below that level, the labor force participation rate — the percentage of potential workers seeking jobs — fell 0.3 percent, indicating declining confidence in the ability to find work.

    Its odd I cannot find those attack articles on labor force participation rates i used to see under Obama all the time. hmmmm even the one on CNS just mostly talks about how trump was doing so well.

    Obama low 62.4% Trump 60.2% Current 61.4%

    Black participation rate was back into the 50's again. Guess he gave up bragging about them a few months ago huh?

    Permanent job losses also increased for the second consecutive month, rising by 345,000 to 3.8 million

    Average hourly earnings, month over month: 0.1% vs. 0.2% expected.

    12 month rolling wages decreased 3-4% from peak as employers roll back wage increases and unemployment bump ended

    "Best medical care available" really means very little when you have an illness that has no cure and borderline zero effective treatments.

    The only thing he is guaranteed is that he'll get a ventilator if there is a shortage, but those aren't in short supply. Other than that I don't see any other leg-up he has over us normies.

    Maybe he'll get a more comfortable bed?

    Nah there are number of treatments now we didn't have then from oral steroids or redicivir sure I butchered the name. I am sure Trump will be fine it's 2020 after all.

    dang, they are saying he has "mild symptoms." i don't believe anything from the WH, but expected they be saying he's doing perfectly fine, asymptomatic blahblah bullshit. Hope at least one of the symptoms is the lost of taste and smell, so he can't enjoy his KFC.

    With as much as they've actively downplayed his health concerns for the last 4 years, I have to wonder if "mild symptoms" is just another case of under-exaggeration.
