I am in no way confident that Harris will "beat" Pence. However, vice-presidential debates, when they don't have a nutcase like Sarah Palin, pretty much don't mean much.

@irwin posted:someone asked me if I was surprised that Trump did not denounce white supremacists. I asked, "Why would a white supremacist denounce white supremacists?"
Right...he has only denounced those groups / neo-nazi's multiple times. Harris called Biden a racist in the first debate...now he is not that she is the VP pick?

Sure he has. Wink wink nod nod . The Proud Boys understood the message from their leader.

The 2020 census will show 5M people in Harris County alone. One box.... !
Why not have one box per X number of voters? This only confirms how the polls are trending. Texas is in play.
Can you imagine if all San Diego County or LA county or even Orange County had to go to one box? Maybe he's trying to increase gasoline consumption to help the producers in Texas.

Republicans are pulling out every trick in the book to press the vote. But if on November 3 Covid is raging even more than it is now, will the supposedly reliable Republican voters: the elderly, the less educated, be willing to lineup for hours to vote in person?

It's also that his family and enablers were also sitting in the audience without masks because they refuse to use them. And of course in that debate Trump mocked Biden, again, for always using a mask.
@napacat posted:Wow...you surely try and stretch reasoning when it “fits” your side or you want to. Regarding Merrick Garland...the big difference is the Republican led senate was never going to confirm him...so why hold hearings and go through an exercise in futility. Nice try!
My point was that Trump lied and said Obama left him 128 openings, as though Obama did it by choice. He did it because the Republicans blocked the nominees.
I notice you didn’t respond to any of the other lies Trump told.

Precisely. Mitch McConnell left him 128 openings. Please - the state of the federal judiciary would be far more competent had Obama's choices been approved
As a practicing litigator, I am already directly seeing the result of the politicized choices in non-political business cases and the one class action I have been involved in. Laziness and incompetence - at levels I have never seen - (this is not political - I have no issues with Reagan, and either Bush judicial picks in the kind of matters I handle) - apart from the 2000 election where the rulings were on point until the Supreme Court.

Chris Wallace says Trump and fam arrived late to the debate on Tues so they could avoid having a Covid test. He believes Trump had Covid during the debate.
And Scaramucci said he talked to Hope Hicks today, and Hicks said Trump showed symptoms before her, and she’s being thrown under the bus.

Several news outlets are reporting this. Yes, threw her under the bus.
The virus-in-chief is now on his way to Walter Reed.

Quite consistent with his previous behaviour: pretend all is well though he knows otherwise and ditch his closest confidants when he thinks it benefits him to do so.
Just hope he survives, as Pence would be the likely replacement and he might just beat Joe under the circumstances.

And Trump tried to throw the military and law enforcement under the bus as the source of the virus.

The phrase “hoist by his own petard” comes to mind. From Hamlet I think.
So, Trump has the “Kung Flu,” is in the hospital only 17 hours after a positive test. His doctors are concerned how quickly his virus has progressed that they gave him an experimental drug not yet approved by the FDA at the WH prior to sending him to the hospital. He now has received an additional treatment as his breathing is becoming more labored.
Seems every few hours more within his circle of anti-science fools are testing positive. Now (13?) within the last 48 hours. What a nice Rose Garden event without mask Trump and his fools mock.
May Trump receive the same concern, compassion, empathy and goodwill he offers to all others that have had the “ Kung Flu” or have died from it. To quote Trump himself, “ it is what it is.”

His doctor today accidentally outed the fact that he was diagnosed over 72 hours ago. This has great implications for what he was doing after he was discovered to have the virus. He may have been a one man spreader event.

Bet he knew well before then but refused to do anything about it.
But the doctor claims he is improving quickly, only had a mild case, and everything is fantastic! I don't believe a word from any his doctors.

Do you wear yours as a chin warmer or jock strap? If everyone wore the masks in his circle, there would gave been a great reduction in contagion.
You are a real troll.
PS: Biden in Miami this week, please attend and educate yourself in empathy, compassion, and truth

There has been much discourse about his petard from the likes of Stormy Daniels and other ladies who have been graced with the instrument of affection. Perhaps too much discourse, description and talk of its insignificant size.
Well sports fans here's how our civilization ends. Trump recovers quickly. Oh, by sometime next week. Remember most people do not have severe symptoms or any symptoms. He has stared down the virus and has prevailed! Fox is already starting to lead the call of the great superman (uberman in German) who's bravely battled the virus and has been chosen to save the soul of America. I hate to tell you, but this is the October surprise.
Talk about broken news... The media keeps referring to Trump as the leader of the Free World. That is a false reality unless you think the Proud Boys are the only ones that matter any more.

Oh Christ! The vast majority of people (I would presume) have never heard of the proud boys.
Trump goes on a totally unnecessary ride in his limousine to wave to supporters.
Dr. Leana Wen, who used to be the health commissioner of Baltimore and now is a professor at GW, and who knows a thing or two about medicine, has said that if the President were her patient and went on this escapade, she'd order a psychiatric exam.
Dr. James Phillips, an attending physician at Walter Reed:
“Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary presidential ‘drive-by’ just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. They might get sick. They may die.” "For political theater,” the doctor added. “Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater.”
Meanwhile, the President said he's learned alot about Covid-19 (really?) and that he "gets it". I'm so glad that after 7 months and 200,000+ deaths here that the President has learned about this, but it doesn't seem like his knowledge is particularly deep.
I was somehow able to hold off ill wishes after his diagnosis. But with this stunt, I’m good with him suffering greatly. Every shitty thing about this lowlife fecal stain was summed up yesterday. F him and his family.

Before, during, and after this stunt, I feel zero sympathy for 45 and all his Covid-denying minions. I DO feel sorry for the 209,000 in America that have died because of his cavalier attitude, his cover ups, and his continued indifference.
Now the Press Secretary has it.
As far as that little drive by stunt yesterday, my only hope is that the Secret Service used previously-infected personnel to sit in the SUV with the President. My understanding is that a number of Secret Service members have gotten Covid over the last months, and if a few have recovered and returned to service, maybe they used those guys in the SUV?

That stunt was utterly Stupid. He needs adoration that much?
"Don't fear covid."
Especially if you have access to the best healthcare money can't buy. And to the families of the 210,000 who have died, they did not fight the disease strongly like the "chosen one."
