    The desperation is so, so sad by now. There is nobody outside of the most steadfast base that is going to believe this nonsense.
    But then that would mean Biden has first hand experience not getting Covid.

    Even McEnany doesn't believe anything she's saying. A job at the white house to read from a script and deny anything else is something people would jump at.

    Oh good, so by this logic Trump's admitting he needs to be in prison to get a firsthand experience of the justice system.

    Big surprise, NJ's contact tracers aren't happy with WH/TNC data. It's too little and too late.

    Like Trump's 2016 campaign promises, actually.

    The WH has more active cases of COVID than the countries of New Zealand, Vietnam, and Taiwan combined.

    Fucking Rose Garden Massacre has legs to it. How many more positive tests are we going to see? How many will come from the Rose Garden vs. interactions after the Rose Garden Massacre with infected people?

    Is the WH even contact tracing? Last I heard they were trying, but it was a shambles of a shitshow so ain't nobody knows who brought the damn virus and was the superspreader.

    Let's extend that line of thinking. Trump wants plenty of Americans to have guns. But...does he have firsthand experience with being shot?

    And if having firsthand experience is so important, why wasn't Trump licking windows since March to get infected on purpose? Why did he lie about his test results?

    EDIT: You know what, second challenge. Trump supporters including @Orlong @Hammerfest @Thwart @GreenJesus @lockedout and @Ghostpanther you now have 24 hours to address the situation. Your options are:

    1) No, having firsthand experience of having caught COVID-19 is not necessary for handling the fight against it.
    2) Having COVID-19 is useful, but Trump chose not to get infected for months, despite it being a benefit.
    3) The linked article is wrong, and the ad does not exist..

    You have 24 hours. Failure, as always, is admission of cowardice plus I get to pick for you. Especially since I have the feeling some of my fellow posters are also going to quote this post and mention these posters, meaning "oh I didn't see it" will remain an unacceptable excuse.

    That was before the weekend hit IIRC, I think we may be able to add another small country or replace 1/2 of the smaller countries with a bigger country by now.

    Kayleigh McEnemy decided not to quarantine after coming in contact with Hope Hicks
    After Hope Hicks tested positive, Kayleigh McEnany was pulled off President Trump’s trip to New Jersey and later informed she’d had direct contact with Hicks. Yet McEnany did not quarantine and was at the White House Friday and yesterday, citing multiple negative tests.
    https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/s...404267524?s=19

    My assumption is this attitude was the norm so we'll probably see like 50-60 people when all is said and done.

    CNN: Two of White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany's staffers test positive
    Two of White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany's deputies, Chad Gilmartin and Karoline Leavitt, have also tested positive for coronavirus, two sources tell CNN.

    Earlier today, McEnany confirmed that she had tested positive for Covid-19.

    She said she is experiencing no symptoms and had no knowledge of Hope Hicks' testing positive before her briefing last Thursday. Hicks is one of President Trump's top aides.

    McEnany said she will begin to quarantine.

    "Massacre?" How many died as a result?
    Think about the optics.
