Trump and Melania test positive for COVID-19

Thom Tillis tests positive.

I hear they are blaming Democrats for infecting Trump by putting COVID on his debate mic.

Time for a White House Bowling Team.

They’re going down like tenpins. :bowling:

The Horse is in the Hospital.

CNN is saying Trump is having difficulty breathing.

Something I haven’t run across yet: for all we know, Trump could be intubated right now. If not now, at any moment. Surely he can’t do no Presidentin’ like that, yuh? So, why is Pence not in charge yet? When do they raise the 25th Amendment flag?

You know a few select individuals who have killed more than 200,000 Americans? Who are you?

They’re not intubating people aggressively like they did at the beginning when they didn’t know much about COVID. The better treatment that does less harm to the body is having people lie on their stomachs-- I’m guessing with the face in some kind of face cradle. That seems to make breathing easier without the horrific invasion of a ventilator.

Rumors are going to be flying thick and fast tonight. I’m trying to figure out how I would feel if I woke up tomorrow morning and learned that trump had died during the night. I’m not sure. Probably just shell-shocked. With a soupcon of relief that the nightmare is over. Not that the Pubs are going to turn into good, compassionate citizens or anything. But the Crazy One wouldn’t be in charge any more.

Anyhoo… it’s going to be a long night.

Wonder how the herd immunity crowd feels now that they’re part of the herd.

If I wake up with the news that Trump is dead, I’m gonna wonder what the writers of 2020 are going to surprise is with for the season finale. I’m guessing a killer asteroid.

Time-traveling dinosaurs, riding flying sharks with fricking lasers on their heads.

Link, please? I just checked CNN and can find no such story.

From the latest CNN story half way down
A Trump adviser said there is reason for concern about the President’s health.

“This is serious,” the adviser said. The adviser went on to describe Trump as very tired, very fatigued and having some trouble breathing.

A source familiar with the situation said White House officials have serious concerns about Trump’s health and a top administration official told CNN that Trump is “OK for now, but our fear is that things can change quick.”

As if anybody needed more evidence that the Obamas are a class act:

We also want to extend our best wishes to the President of the United States, the first lady … Michelle and I are hopeful that they and others who have been affected by Covid-19 around the country are getting the care that they need, that they are going to be on the path to a speedy recovery," Obama said

That said, given how they’ve been treated by Trump, would anybody blame them if they said nothing?

It makes me happy that there are so many Republicans right now quaking in their boots. I’m scared every day because of the total disregard they have had for this virus. Turn about is fair play.

My Twitter take:

I went to sleep last night. When I woke up Trump had Covid. I went down for a power snooze this afternoon. When I woke up Trump was on his way to Walter Reid.

People. I can only stay awake for so long, is all I’m saying.

Do the country a favor. Sleep in tomorrow.

Please take a quick series of five minute naps.
