Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

[Adam Jensen]

That feel when the press is probably doing more comprehensive contact tracing than the White House.

That feel when we might have a whole new government before the election . . .

Apropos of nothing, here's a fun bit of history.

2020, amirite?

Mark the date down boys.

You know it could be patient zero is Trump himself not Hicks, it makes no sense that he would need to go to the hospital after one day of catching it.

Trump can't go anywhere without his envoy. Someone had to bring it to him. The timetable and people infected suggests the the confirmation event is the likely place. They all got it from one "or a handful" of people there.

[PhaelixWW]

Here's the list, per Dana Basch:

Trump: Positive
Kellywise: Positive
Bill Stepien: Positive
Hope Hicks: Positive
Chris Christie: Positive
Rudy Giuliani: TBD
Jason Miller: TBD
Stephen Miller: TBD

I haven't seen that Chris Christie has tested positive... is there a source for this?

[Elegiac]

Oop, my mistake; he got retested today and is still awaiting results.

But yeah - 4/8 so far, either way.

GUYS WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED. I WENT AWAY FOR A FEW HOURS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYONE HAS COVID NOW.

Seriously, is there a running list of new confirmed infections somewhere? I was having a hard enough time keeping track by like 6, and 4 hours later it's ballooned.

I hope they all pull through, but for a great many of them (some of the journos for example) I can't help but feel like there's some sense of karma there.

Imagine being someone outside of the United States turning on the new. The culmination of COVID19 running rampant in the country for 7 months. Thousands dying, millions of cases, and an ineffective government. Suddenly the current administration is sick and right before a reelection year. It must really look like the US is unraveling before them.

Giuliani tested negative.

Sometimes the writers try to wrap everything up too neatly that it becomes unrealistic.

Giuliani tested negative.

Predictable, all evidence indicates that coronavirus needs living tissue to propagate.

I was about to say, his nickname is Ghoul-iani, isn't it?

Ayy, same brain.

In 10 years someone is going to write an acclaimed high fantasy novel based on 2020 and people aren't even going to realize it.

Giuliani tested negative.

With my time-viewing machine, I've witnessed what Guiliani looks like for the ages and present it to you here today:

Giuliani 2001

Giuliani 2020

Giuliani 2300

[Dead Moose Fandango]

Giuliani tested negative.

Well, that's a shame. He was one of the people I'd reeeeally liked to be positive.

[Zaydin]

Giuliani tested negative.

I mean, is it a shock? Ghouls like Giuliani are already dead.

A speedy to recovery to the champions leading and rebuilding our fine nation, multiple executive orders a day!

But...Biden isn't sick, so he doesn't have anything to recover from.

[postman1782]

Dementia, and anger issues which he's used to sexually assault women with, but aside from your version of word play, I'm obviously talking about our President, his wife, and the staff that got sick.

You are confusing yourself. Trump is the only one with both of these things, while Biden have NEITHER of them. The only sexual assault that was levied against Biden fell apart when she changed her story a dozen times, and her lawyer quit. And Biden doesn't believe in shit like airplanes during the Revolutionary war, like Trump does. Biden has a stutter, but not mental decline.

Why did DOJ put US on trial for Trump’s rape case, where he is blocking a DNA match, from Trump’s rape? Why is America on trial as a rapist, because of Trump?
