But what about those crazy druids.
More like a Golden one.
This one is about Fox News, a subsidiary of the Trump admin, so it works in this thread. It appears that someone who has now tested positive was flying with Fox folks back to NY after the debate Thursday night. I wonder if they were tested the day of or just all got on a plane together since we’re rounding the corner.
Fun Fact: The Republicans would be the second major party to implode after being caught colluding with a foreign adversary.
“We” meaning the White House and its staff, I imagine. I’m pretty sure the CDC is still going balls to the wall.
Or there’s an unspoken ‘news’ after ‘pandemic.’
Hey look; it’s a sock!
Nah, they’re still trying to control that. The item I posted on the butt-hurt Trump tweets thread is only one turd from a larger burst of explosive Twitterrhea complaining about the media’s stubborn refusal to pretend that COVID is magically going away.
Well, it’s almost sock season.
Please.
We know what happened - someone shedding the virus came into contact with other people and give them the virus. This is not rocket science.
In addition: false negatives are FAR more common than false positives with rapid tests. Rapid tests are actually a pretty crappy way to control the virus given their diminished accuracy but because people are 1) impatient 2) too juvenile to just put on a fucking mask 3) too undisciplined to keep a safer distance between them they’ve become popular even though in many ways they’re a waste of money and resources.
If you mask up, keep your distance, and do as much as possible remotely then you’ll slow this shit down and you won’t have to worry so much about the “moment it will manifest itself”. It’s not some magical villain. It’s a virus. It behaves in a fairly predictable even if inconvenient to humans manner.
So do please take your misinformation/ignorance/pot-stirring elsewhere.
Well it really sux when trying to force the universe into your preconceived notions of it bites you in the ass. The virus doesn’t care what Beloved Leader say about it.
Wabbit season!
“We have made tremendous progress with the China Virus, but the Fake News refuses to talk about it this close to the Election,” he tweeted. “COVID, COVID, COVID is being used by them, in total coordination, in order to change our great early election numbers. Should be an election law violation!”
On Reddit I saw the comment:
He should also make it illegal for the president to speak in an election year, since that’s also done untold damage to his campaign.
The virus doesn’t vote. I think we’ve firmly established that reality and Trumpistas are not on a first name basis, so, to them, it really doesn’t matter what the universe says or how often it bites them in the ass. It doesn’t matter. Another half a million dead from Covid? Won’t matter. Social Security going bankrupt? Won’t matter. Dozens of indictments and rampant corruption? Won’t matter. Even if the universe bites these people in the ass over and over and over, they’ll just blame the libs and still support Trump. Reality doesn’t vote.
CFSG issued an executive (dis)order changing the way civil servants are classified, making the lower ranks of the career civil service essentially at-will employment, allowing the president to insure loyalty to him down the deepderp state line.
Individual 1 claims Corey Booker never lived in Newark (where he was mayor for two years). Uh, what?
All joking aside, Putin WILL still have a use for Trump, after Trump is ejected from the Oval Office. Whether Trump is sitting in a no-extradition country or in the USA awaiting trial, he will continue tweeting away nonstop.
And Putin would certainly like to have Trump continuing to destabilize the USA and divide Americans. The project of bringing the USA to its knees has progressed quite well over the past four years—but it’s not yet finished.
That doesn’t mean that Putin will do what Trump wants; Putin was never interested in doing what Trump wanted. So Putin’s recent remarks blowing up Trump’s hopes for Biden-bashing were no fluke. Putin anticipates needing to negotiate with Biden over sanctions (etc.) and won’t help Trump by agreeing to any fictions about supposed misconduct by Biden.
But Putin will continue to operate his asset. He has great leverage over Trump; not that Trump will be reluctant to tear down the Biden Administration, of course. While he’s doing it, though, Putin will demonstrate his power to his subjects by okaying bot attacks on Trump as well as mockery of him on Russian television.
They’ve been doing that for a while now, anyway. The search terms 'mocking Trump "Russian television"’ get over 355,000 hits on pages from recent years, such as this 2019 one from DailyKos:
Weird. I read the item, and it says preliminary reviews of the affected positions are scheduled to take place by a deadline of January 19, 2021, and final determination of affected positions four months after that.
Seems like a Hail Mary that can only work out for him if he succeeds in stealing the election. One hopes that President Biden will rescind the EO immediately upon taking office. But if there’s a second America-hating fuckstick Administration, he’s gonna have a civil service full of nothing but toadies.
No he won’t. He would have been kicked off Twitter for TOS violations long ago if he weren’t occupying the White House; unless he changes his behavior (fat chance) he’ll lose his access in short order.
Plus, if he were in a US jail, he wouldn’t be allowed a phone.
And it can be safely argued that he is a flight risk and should therefore be held at Riker’s Island while awaiting trial. Which could take years.
