Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Smitzelplix]

This. OP didn't read to the period. She's now Press Secretary for the White House.

Yeah I missed that, thanks for pointing it out.

Senate Judiciary Committee: "We want to hear more about the Russian hoax from McCabe."

McCabe: "I would, really, but y'all got coronavirus."

It worked. Senate postpones dirt-digging mission about the oranges of the Russian investigation.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) formally announced Monday that the hearing, scheduled for Tuesday, had been postponed. The panel did not immediately say when it would be rescheduled.

The decision comes as four Republican members of the committee are out of Washington: Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) have tested positive for the coronavirus, while Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) are working remotely after having possibly been exposed.

As someone who's been online teaching for...sigh...too long, I can tell you this was the only decision they could make. There is no substitute for being in the room with someone, if you want to read their face and body language. Oh, and if you want to make sure they're not cheating off a book or telepromptor or other person off-camera.

"What about the debates?"

I feel the debates can be done remotely, with a CPD staffer or two on hand. Interrogating McCabe doesn't really work that way.

Ten states hit new records of cases last week.

"You already posted that."

It happened again, except last time it was nine.

The biggest concern is New York, not because I live there, but because of NY's significant clampdown that doesn't appear to be holding firmly enough. Cuomo is already prepping to lock down some NYC zip codes, but as of Oct 2, they had more cases in a single day than they've ever had.

And deaths follow by two weeks.

Other states on the list are Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

McEnany has tested positive now.

OH MY GOD WHAT ARE THE ODDS WHAT ARE THE FUCKING ODDS! VOTE!

(eyeroll)

To be fair, this is only the second thing Trump has done to McEnemy to mess up her throat.

Congratulations on the coronavirus' new posting as the WH press secretary. I'm hoping we'll start getting some honest answers in press conferences.

"Of course masks work, next stupid question"

On topic: Due to regulations Trump personally directed and signed, Exxon is projecting emissions increases of about 4% per year through 2025.

"Wait, does that take into consideration steps they're taking to reduce emissions?"

Such as?

"Uh...they haven't said yet."

Well then no, it doesn't. This isn't Trump's tax returns, where he paves over losing billions of dollars with "I'm poor, give me a refund" while still raking money as a reality TV game show host. THis is "all currently existing data shows an increase in emissions, we'll recalculate when you do something about it".

I mean, Sars-cov2 has a clear agenda and doesnt like bullshitting anyone. So there's that.

[downnola]

I guess we'll soon find out if trying to kill your base and administration is an effective campaign strategy.

[Felya]

Republicans propose their god supported SCOTUS appointment and he isn’t have any of that. lol

Not the birthday present I was hoping for but it'll do.

Any word about what's going on with McEnany? Her twitter bio says former Press Secretary to Trump.

If things go wrong this may unintentionally become prescient.

Indiana should also be on that list. Indiana seems to be doing this thing where they post their numbers for the previous day, then go back and update the numbers later, either that or they are reporting backlog positive tests as positive test for the current day rather than for previous days. Previously there was a spike back on Aug 16th, but that was corrected down and maybe spread out over several days. This is not corrected on Worldometers, but is seen on the state's site.

Fauci went on CNN and was asked if the motorcade waving thing was a good idea.

Not only did he refuse to answer, he just flat-out said he didn't want to answer.

If only there were people in the White House to warn them about the dangers of the virus and provide them with a list of best practices so that they could all conduct their day-to-day business in a safe and inobtrusive way while doing their best to protect themselves and everyone around them.

I feel zero sympathy for a group of assholes who were assholes about the virus for the better part of the year, acting dangerously and irresponsibly, getting the virus.

I do feel sympathy for folks like Kelleyanne Conway's daughter who got the virus due to her mothers dangerous irresponsibility, and I hope no other innocent bystanders get caught by this suicidal cult of sycophants.

Well here it is, Trump's disenfranchisement plan in all its naked glory:

https://apnews.com/article/election-...4a3b9d7981bde3

Overall, 39% of registered voters say they will vote by mail, well above the 21% who say they normally do so, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The rise is skewed toward backers of the former vice president, 53% of whom plan to vote by mail. Fifty-seven percent of Trump’s supporters say they’ll vote in person on Nov. 3.

56% of Republicans plan to vote in person, 53% of Democrats plan to vote by mail. Clear undeniable proof that Trump isn't interested in fraud at all.

I've been noticing this too but can't find any official word on what the fuck they're actually doing. Kansas is another one that has a really strange method for reporting which means it's difficult to keep track of where the ACTUAL spikes are. I think it's still at least pretty obvious that things are getting worse in the national picture.

McEnemy is lined up to be Trump's last press secretary. If she get sick, dies or resigns, who would voluntarily replace her?

Don't worry, there's a neverending supply of people eager to ingratiate themselves. Hell, as we've seen there are people who will come back for a second helping.

Mark Meadows.

Though I'm sure Mick Mulvaney is in the job market again. The Mooch, too. And Giuliani for that matter.

[Adam Jensen]

I mean, Sars-cov2 has a clear agenda and doesnt like bullshitting anyone. So there's that.

SARS-CoV-2 has a clear liberal bias. I mean, it infected what, 20 Republicans in the space of 3 days while not infecting any prominent Democrats? I bet George Soros is behind this.

[Adam Jensen]

Mark Meadows.

Nah.

The Mooch has said too many things disparaging Donald Trump since his departure in July of whatever year it was.

On a related note, is anyone surprised Stephen Miller tested negative? After all, the virus only affects living tissue.
