***Official Political Discussion Thread***

It’s the show, the distraction, everything. He was just outed as a racist support (again), dead broke tax evader, lost the debate in the most humiliating fashion possible, his wife trashed kids in cages over Xmas decorations...... everything was down the garbage.

He’s got 1 play left, which is make COVID a joke. This is how it chose to do it. He has no argument, no policy to show, no health care plan to introduce, his “wall” blows over with the wind, campaign is dead broke, handful of his senators are projected to lose their elections, his magic caravans of bad hombres never showed up. he’s got nothing.

As I’ve maintained, him getting COVID doesn’t erase any of those things from happening and those aren’t even the low points of his presidency. Him being outed as a tax evader and racist was “news” in the sense that there was new evidence but we already knew that. The continuation of him running with those stories wasn’t going to damage his chances. The MAGAs and Delks of the world were still going to MAGA and Delk.

He seems to be going the “downplay the virus” route now which I don’t think is a sufficient reason to fake having COVID because just like his previous transgressions, it doesn’t resurrect the 210K dead or eliminate the threat and future deaths. The ONLY real benefit I see would be him peddling these experimental drugs as cures prior to the election but even that would be a significant leap of faith on his part.

That’s all without mentioning all the people who would have to complicit in this coverup and continuing the charade. I

It’s obvious. Even if he has super mild symptoms, they are going to treat the PRESIDENT of the USA with top of the line full court press meds.

like if you had to play a 5th grader basketball for your life and you were able to choose any player to play on your behalf, you would choose LeBron James and not a standard decent 24 hour fitness player...just in case
 
Every bluecheck on in twitter who is against celebrating Trump’s potential death, had most extra posts in 2011 celebrating Bin Laden’s Death.

Trump has killed and generally caused pain for far more people than Bin Laden did.

Obviously, this is t to defend Bin Laden but if you celebrated his death and now claim no public figures death should ever be celebrated, your jingoism is showing.
To celebrate Bin Laden's assassination validates killing as a form of "justice", as is congruous with the right's lionization of Kyle Rittenhouse and general appetite for the summary execution of a dehumanized "other."

Laughing at Trump is analogous to "Fools Wildin Thinking They Doing It" or, for the previous generation, every single episode of "America's Funniest Home Videos."

This man tried to spike a football on Justice Ginsburg's grave, only to have it ricochet off his own groin and strike 24 of his closest allies.

However cruel it may seem to find satisfaction in the prospect of Trump's self-inflicted suffering, it would be more immoral, by far, to demonstrate greater concern or compassion for Trump than all those harmed by his depraved indifference.



“There is a long history in the Trump family of denying serious illness. According to a Trump family friend, Trump’s father, Fred Trump Sr., insisted on working even after his Alzheimer’s disease advanced in the 1990s. “To retire is to expire!” Fred Sr. would say. The friend said that as Fred Sr.’s disease worsened––he once came down the stairs wearing three neckties––the family created a system so that Fred could think he was still running the Trump Organization. Every day Fred Sr. would go to the office in Brooklyn and they would give him blank papers to sort through and sign. The phone on Fred’s desk was set up so that it could only dial out to his secretary. “Fred pretended to work,” the family friend said.”
