Trump: Impeach is the new Orange
Re: Trump
I can believe it. He's in probably one of the highest risk categories and has done fuck-all to protect himself from catching it, and so many around him have got it he's probably got a high viral load.

Re: Trump
I posted some thoughts on another forum but I thought I'd pop it here too.
It's hard for me to feel any sympathy. When the rules and the risks of running afoul of those rules are clear, people who run into difficulty as a result of ignoring those rules I cannot feel for.
I was thinking of this earlier but wearing a mask is a bit like putting a seat belt on. Everybody knows that logically when driving a car at 70mph, if you do not have a seat belt on and decide to run your car into a wall, there's a high percentage chance the emergency services will find you in more than one piece. But it's so obvious that it's the best chance you have of beating it, it's law for a start, there's enough bad stories to go round, and when you get into a car, the seat belt is right beside you.
So whose fault is it when you don't put it on? Should you have sympathy for that person? I'll leave that to you but I wouldn't. It's the same for Trump and Covid-19. I don't feel sympathy for a person who openly defied the best course of action to prevent himself from being ill. I don't wish death on him because I'm not raised that way but some people really do need a boot up the ass.

Re: Trump
His death has the potential to save far more lives of people who presumably would see their 'God' getting burnt and sent to the underworld and think it's best to bite the bullet and accept the 'loss of freedom'.Rossell wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:44 pmI posted some thoughts on another forum but I thought I'd pop it here too.

Not saying I want him to die. I wish he'd never existed.

Re: Trump
I agree, Trump dying of this would probably be nothing short of divine justice. Fuck him.
Re: Trump
A 74 year old catching this was always going to be hazardous, and Trump isn't exactly in great shape regardless of his age. Still, I'd prefer to get insider info from someone who isn't so heavily involved with the opposition.
Re: Trump
Dunno about insider info, but have seen reports on both the NYT and Guardian that there's mixed messages from his Chief of Staff and doctors about the severity of his symptoms, and suggestions he was on oxygen at some point at the WH before going to hospital... both reports posit the suspicion that his condition is worse than has been officially described.

Re: Trump
I was referring to the Tweet Tommy linked to. I've no doubt that the responses are prompting speculation, but I can't put much stock in news coming from someone whose Twitter bio begins with #TeamJoe.
I seem to remember there was a fair bit of misinformation flying around when Johnson had it.

Re: Trump
As I say, make of it what you will, I appreciate he has an axe to grind. However, I don’t see the stock in lying either.Raid wrote: ↑Sat Oct 03, 2020 10:10 pmI was referring to the Tweet Tommy linked to.

Re: Trump
Apparently he was diagnosed positive Wednesday morning, but went to a rally later that day, and a fundraiser on Thursday, anyway...They had every intention of keeping it quite, but once news of Hope Hicks got out, had to admit they were positive Friday morning. He could have been positive at the debate, but he and the fam arrived late, so avoided being tested...the first Joe heard about all this was via the news. The WH didn't have the grace to notify him at all ffs.
