These mother fuckers brought covid to the debate

Walked into the affair wearing masks, making hosts think they would wear them throughout and then promptly took them off as a fuck you! No one can tell tell us very important people what to do.

They are such selfish assholes.

And as for the VP debate, if 12 feet is too much separation between Harris and Pence then don't have it- fuck them. They can not be trusted.

Trump was spewing virus all over that room.

Here’s what the Times wrote this morning: “The president and Mr. Biden were at lecterns more than six feet apart at the debate. At that distance, Mr. Biden might have had protection from larger respiratory droplets released by the president, but not from aerosols lingering in the air... Mr. Biden tested negative for the virus on Friday. Still, given that Mr. Biden was only recently exposed, ‘He should quarantine and get tested again.’”

"They are such selfish assholes." And they wanted to murder Joe too.

I want to see Attorney General Glenn Kirschner appoint special prosecutor, and go after
them for their many crimes. Although by that time Donny may very well not be around
to be charged with any crime.

BTW we would not be going through all of this pandemic and death stuff if "they" hadn't
have stolen the Presidency from Hillary. The virus would have been stopped in China.

It pissed me off when they pulled off their masks at the debate, clearly showing their disdain and hatred for everyone around them.

It would be hysterical if so many repug Senators get sick they couldn't win a vote on ACB. They are already down 2 (Lee and Tillis), 2 more and things get so much better.

However, I bet their plan will be to do this during the lame duck session when Murkowski and Collins will most likely vote yes and repugs will put her in office to "settle" the clear election results which puts them out of control or basically to steal the election for the rw fascists.

Any votes they have would be destructive, any committee meetings the same, this repug Senate can disappear for a while and we will be far better off. They won't approve a stimulus without get out of jail free cards for business and so far Dems are saying no, so nothing good is getting stopped - just more rw treachery.

Sat Oct 3, 2020, 09:21 AM
Oct 2020

and his devious little mind decided that his only hope for saving his campaign was to infect Joe with the virus?

The amount of time he spent SHOUTING his insane spew directly at Joe, and how quickly he displayed moderate symptoms and was hospitalized after the debate, makes me wonder if his rude, angry, shouted interruptions were not part of a sick, twisted strategy to save his campaign.

I would never even consider such a thing if this were a decent, normal human being who was debating Joe, but this was Donald Trump, a lying, corrupt, thoroughly dishonest narcissistic sociopath, who cares nothing for anyone or anything other than himself.

Farfetched, maybe, but this is Trump, who has already proven to be so shamelessly corrupt and dishonest that I personally think he is capable of any unspeakably wicked behavior, if he feels this behavior will serve his selfish purposes.

Which means they're lying about something as usual, that's Occam's take on it.

More info will be forthcoming but for Trump to get that sick that quick he must have gotten a tremendous amount of Covid in him. "I've got Covid but will stay here at the WH to work for the American people", to him getting an experimental cocktail and then being rushed to the hospital via helicopter and afterward about as close to a news blackout on his condition as they can possibly get away with.

Something's rotten in Denmark alrite.

and refused to miss the debate. With Chris Wallace confirming that Trump arrived late in the afternoon before the debate, too late to be tested, it looks like they did it deliberately. If you remember, it was well remarked that he looked sweaty at the debate (more than usual anyway).

There is a Republican pattern. Reagan was feeble-minded before it was publicly announced. Bush Jr. was like Reagan 2.0. Trump is Reagan 3.0 when it comes to mental unfitness for office.

With Trump they got someone as unfit as the first 2 but not as capable of being manipulated.
