Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Edge-]

Gotta say, watching MAGA America cheer on the US Women's soccer team losing and sniping at US athletes is pretty god-damned patriotic!

Almost like "owning the libs" is the biggest, most important part of the modern Republican party. There's no central tentpole holding up anything, just a bunch of people with their faces covered by a collapsed tent shrieking, "Yeah, but at least we owned the libs!"

Laura Ingraham was making the case last week that the soccer team is a bunch of anthem-kneeling, Marxist, America-haters, so that rooting for them to lose is patriotic.

Interesting day so far, Lady G has Covid, and Murkowski looking like she'll be senator for 6 more years since Sarah Palin gonna fail to primary her.

Iirc she's he's vaccinated too, so it's either a fun breakthrough case OR it's a variant where the vaccine is less than ideal.

Either way he can get fucked for all I care, but it doesn't bode well for the masses if the people with the best screening/healthcare in the country are getting sick.

Apparently he got it after partying on Manchin's house boat.

He's vaccinated and openly thankful for it:

I feel like I have a sinus infection and at present time I have mild symptoms. ...I am very glad I was vaccinated because without vaccination I am certain I would not feel as well as I do now. My symptoms would be far worse.

Lady G has Covid

Oh shit, I need to get tested.

Incidentally it appears that the Senate has not mandated masks and, big surprise, guess which half wasn't wearing them. CNN claims 4 Senators aren't vaccinated but I don't know which. I also believe Graham was telling the truth about getting vaccinated.

Graham was spotted in the Capitol on Monday morning and spoke briefly with reporters. He was wearing a mask and appeared to be in a hurry, both of which caught the attention of reporters.

Hmm.

Unrelated: Trump has vowed to fight the release of his tax returns on the grounds of "there is no evidence of a crime".

First of all, cue the "only guilty people take the 5th" bit.

Second of all...fight it how? This is between Congress and the DoJ. Trump made that clear last year. Is there even an active court case involved?

Third of all, Trump's lawyer claimed he was doing this for all future Presidents. That was a stupid fucking thing to say. Every President since Nixon has released their taxes. Most people running for President don't have tax evasion or Russian money laundering secrets like Trump does, or wouldn't want to conceal the fact that they're poor (or they just aren't poor).

But Trump still thinks he's rex quondam, rexque futurus.

I'm gonna take a guess that Rand Paul and Ron Johnson are 2 of the 4.

[DarkTZeratul]

Pretty sure Rand Paul has openly stated he wouldn't get vaccinated, so that seems a safe bet.

[Benggaul]

Correct. And I hope he gets it again. Not because I wish him death, but putting his dumb ass out of commission and off the Senate floor for any length of time is good news.

[beanman12345]

Oh yeah I think I might have heard that now that you mention it. Just went with them cause they are the two biggest nutjobs since they actually believe most of the bullshit they spew, so yeah it was a safe bet =P

'I Just Want a Chance': Father of 5 Needs Lungs, Heart Transplants to Survive After COVID

Another day, another "I shoulda got the vaccine" story.

Neither Brian nor Rebekah were vaccinated, despite both of their work in health care.

If you work in healthcare it should be mandatory to get the vaccine. Period.

Really, really infuriating that so many people are literally waiting until they're near death to decide "Hey, maybe getting the vaccine isn't such a bad idea."

I said the very same thing earlier today.
Almost like beating cops with a thin blue line flag.

You mean secret antifa BLM Democrats working for the FBI at the direction of the Rothchild's and Hillary Clinton*

Who are somehow also the exact same people who stormed the Capitol building, conveniently.

Something tells me healthy lung transplants are going to be pretty fucking rare for a while...

And probably won't go to people who could have protected themselves but didn't.

A price they are willing to pay for all that freedumb they rant on and on about.

[Azadina]

Sure hope not. Because then it's away from someone who didn't cause their own medical need for transplant.

I have to assume it's done much the same way they won't give new livers to alcoholics unless they've stayed off the sauce for 6 months. If you're a risk of just fucking it up they'd rather give it to someone who won't.
