Winning votes by beating an illness aren't dots that I would connect.

Him beating the biggest pandemic of modern times would have a bigger impact on his poll number then talking to his base in Yuma, Arizona.

To no one but his base, so it would be a horrible strategic blunder. His people are not that stupid. He is, they aren't. And if he wasn't sick there would be a definite leak from Walter Reed. No doctor should/would approve of saying their patient was sick when they weren't.

Just spitballing' here. If Pence tested positive, would the Repubs try to hush it up and act like it never happened? Damned right they would. Unless both he and Trump are on their deathbeds, they'd try to keep it quiet, rather than have to acknowledge that Pelosi might get to take the reins.

And then there is this:

A BUFFET? Are you kidding me?

That is so awesome.

My wife and I were JUST today talking about certain things that might never come back. The first thing she listed was buffets.

I thought that when he got it, it would be boring. Like occasional medical updates and stuff. I totally underestimated what a shitshow it would be. And that’s my fault.

I don’t have the same ire for him as most of the others who have it which means he’ll be the one who bites it and Trump will joke about his death after reelection.

It depends how the buffet is served. Buffets have opened up here but instead of you getting your own, you point at what you want and the server in a mask puts it on your plate. It's actually more orderly as people have to line up. They can't butt in or hoard the items they like.

So the guy who called the pandemic a Democrat hoax and up until he announced he had the disease keeps saying its not a problem, it'll magically go away, restricting businesses is a Dem ploy to control you and steal your freedoms... this guy is going to make up catching the virus, along with at least a dozen staffers, Congressmen and others who all attended a mass gathering and shunned all the rules by not distancing and not wearing masks? It makes no sense whatsoever. Their entire plan is to keep COVID out of the news and out of the campaign conversation, why would they introduce it as a strategy? Trump is incapable of strategizing beyond the present, his ego could allow him to pretend to be sick today in order to score points tomorrow. He would blurt out that he doesn't have it, that he is invincible, he can't stand that people know he is weak or see him vulnerable.

That video ended my “wow, I’m feeling pretty good” streak at 42 hours.

What was going on at 1:05 of the video?

As a rule just assume he’s doing about 33-50 percent worse than any “official” statements from MAGAninny or his “doctors”.

Post by **brian** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:05 pm

If they say he’s being put on a ventilator he’s probably already dead, etc.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:36 pm

Tinfoil Hat Internet is thinking the video was not only shot before he went to Walter Reed, but also edited out a cough after the word "therapeutics."

Post by **brian** » Sat Oct 03, 2020 8:57 pm

The latter can be true if the former isn’t.

Anecdotally, this is a fun time to innocently do “how many presidents have died in office” trivia when there’s a super conservative on your poker zoom.

So a Covid patient is wearing the same clothes he wore into the hospital. Has no IV. Let’s a photographer into the unit to get a photo, and is allowed to contaminate everything?

There does appear to be an edit in the video itself. But yeah, there’s also people claiming the binder is photoshopped into one photo even though it’s also in the other photo too.

This feels like when everyone convinced themselves that the aide blamed for writing Melania’s plagiarized convention speech didn’t exist. Cmon folks, get a grip.

[+] spoiler: If you want to talk about the Curse of Tippacanoe, it worked every year with a zero starting with 1840 to 1960, and really had some close calls later. Reagan was shot, and while the 4th plane was probably headed towards the Capitol, if it was going towards the White House that’s 2000 too.... Election for 2020 in 31 days. Hmmm.

We stopped a client from using buffet service for catering back in MARCH. Back when we knew nothing and there were no masks (my flight home had about 20% of the passengers wearing masks, which was somanyfuckingmasks back then). They made us sit apart from each other at tables (some people were closer at their work stations than while eating) and there was oodles of hand sanitizer.

But they have the glass partition partially over the food though!

(Chinese food buffets are still awesome to me, regardless.)

Who cares if he doesn't die? That's not the point of this. All of the coverage is "he called it a coax, and it sent him to the hospital."

No one thinks "if you get Covid, it's a death sentence."

This fixation on him not dying is somehow a victory for Trump is bizarre.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sun Oct 04, 2020 9:44 am

Perception is reality. This is Donald Trump coming out of the hospital after beating the "just as bad as a cold you dumb Libz" China Virus to the idiots of this stupid fucking country.

You have to have Covid to beat Covid.. This guy never had Covid..

This was a way to get the media away from Taxes, White Supremacy, and most importantly Biden. I mean Friday he had a temp of 103, and on Saturday he sitting in a chair, no IV, no mask, signing papers?? LOL

He wants to push for this cure that he says he took and it made him strong.
