    I think I've seen an interview with King where he said current events are not really comparable with his books because those are meant to be scary stories read in a safe environment where readers can enjoy the horror knowing their own lifes are better. Probably talking about 2020 generally, not Trump specifically.

    So Poe it is.

    He tweeted yesterday, responding to someone who said the plot of the Rose Garden Massacre seems like his... Saying that it does seem like it’s something he would write, but needs more tentacles.

    I was thinking we might get a Weekend at Bernie’s 3 out of this... but, based on Trump’s message yesterday, I think we are back to Chernobyl...

    I'm curious to see if that is a major outlier, or if public sentiment has actually shifted. We should find the answer by Tuesday, or so.

    That poll was post debate, pre-covid diagnosis... there's a possibility it shifts even more.

    Outlier. Welcome news, but outlier. Feel free to shame me if the next five or six agree, barring Rassholemussen of course.

    The WH press pool of reporters and photographers is being driven to Walter Reed hospital. No details yet on what events, if any, are expected.

    News incoming?

    Reuters/IPSOS polls has Biden at +10. I think this is setting a trend (but yea, we need more polls)

    I am hoping for a word from Trump today. I was reassured yesterday that he will be fine, but daily updates like that do help. I really don’t want that dumb fuck to die... they will worship him for ever...

    Why the live update on this? He's been sick for 3-4 days. This could easilu take 4-6 weeks, with months of severe after effects.

    You can bet your ass that he's getting pumped with everything they got, so he can hold a press conference now and then. He's got symptoms (feber etc.) so it's not going to be a walk in the park for him.


    Of course it would be fitting to feed hios Qanon idiots, with some "why's the president only sick for 6 days?!?!" nonsense, so they might label him as a satanical alien or w/e BS they cook up in their crackpot heads.

    Such a joke and these jokesters running this administration. The insecurity and 3rd rate, wannabe dictatorship of him 'reviewing and signing papers' to show strength.

    @Felya. As you mentioned this has that Soviet, Chernobyl feel. Make the dumbest, biggest lies to the people even though they can see it.

    Friendly reminder, those photos were taken 10 minutes apart from eachother. The idiots running the show didnt even edit the metadata of the files.

    Trump "actually wants to get back over the White House and get back to work, but I think he's going stay at Walter Reed for at least another period of time," National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien says on CBS.

    Sounds like the drs don't want him leaving at time soon.

    Best case scenario (for him) he'll lose a week. Best case scenario for us, he'll be there until october 20th

    Man, if people want outliers on polls...the Daily Express in the U.K. is doing polls on the election and has Trump up +2. For context, they’re considered one of the many Das Reich type rags.

    Who the fuck are they kidding with him wanting to get back to ‘work’? He watches fucking Fox News all day. He can do that in hospital. That’s not work.
