From NY Times... 'The White House has decided not to trace the contacts of guests and staff members at the Sept. 26 Rose Garden celebration for Judge Amy Coney Barrett, where at least eight people, including the president, may have become infected'

Wha....?

So he's back to: no testing = no covid problem.

Exactly Across
Ordinary citizens are just doing what they have to do , but when the President is blatantly and recklessly doing his own thing, how can this pandemic ever ever be managed?

One of his team, Gidley, was interviewed and was questioned about Trump taking off his mask at the WH. He said there was no one there and it was outside and everyone is making a fuss
Bollocks.
There was footage to show cameraman just feet away from him. He cares about no one but himself.

I want Trump to get through this but I imagine he will be stricken with lung damage, his breathing was terrible. That will be a constant reminder to him.

Apparently Trump is keen for his next debate with Biden. I'd want Biden's team to be in charge of the covid testing first...

he is one of the most callous and narcissistic people on the face of the earth.

We already knew that, I suspect.

Reading that Stephen Miller has tested positive

How far off Bingo are we for the debate prep team?

Stephen Miller
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Another one of the undead.

@Roussette

Reading that Stephen Miller has tested positive

Cant find that online, but you were right last scoop!

I think he has it. From his shortness of breath yesterday he definately looks like someone who has possibily pneumonia. He just doesn't care about anyone else and he is being artificially buoyed by medication. He'll have been back on oxygen as soon as he was in his private quarters and not moving around much today.

However want a bet he gets bored soon and will start wondering around the Whitehouse infecting those poor soda that are left and no one will be able to stop him. He is unmanageable, won't listen to anyone, so arrogant in his own self belief. I know people like him who actually believe the nonsense that the speak. He most definitely has some kind of unstable personality disorder.

Stephen Miller having tested positive was posted on 3rd on Twitter as a joke, by Jena Friedman; it would be brilliant if events confirmed her jest!

I'm sure half the reason he wanted back in WH is that he feels he totally make the rules there

Hasn't miller already had it?

I have to laugh every time I see him pose in his ill fitting yet bespoke suits and think "That's gotta go in a 60 degree wash to sanitise it"

All but one member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is now working remotely.

Is that a pig I see in the sky?

LATEST: Trump this morning wanted to go to the Oval today. It triggered a discussion among aides. He's still in the residence right now.

People (meaning mostly Trump) keep saying that he closed the border with China early.

For one, they don't have a border with China as far as I know, but more to the point, I swear I remember him forbidding some flights from China at the end of January, but not actually stopping them because people from China went on entering the USA for another three months or so. Or as Snopes puts it

"According to an April 2020 report from The New York Times, at least 430,000 people arrived in the United States on direct flights from China since the outbreak was reported on the last day of 2019, including nearly 40,000 in the two months after the February restrictions were put in place. Thousands of these travelers flew directly from Wuhan. At least 60% of the travelers arriving in the U.S. on direct flights from China in February were not American citizens, according to government data."

Can this please be called out as a blasted lie every time it is said? It is the only thing he is able to point to as him having done about the pandemic, and he didn't actually do it.

Trump reports no symptoms
is that b/c he cant get enough air to allow him to speak?
He wont be able to make public appearances without us spotting his gasping for breath, unless they put him in some sort of oxygen chamber?

Honestly Donald, do you think you are Dominic Cummings?

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime his "travel ban from China" is my pet peeve too.
Made zero difference but he claims without it millions would have died.

It's easy to say something might have happened when we really don't know do we?
Also, with the China travel ban, thousands of Americans flew back from China after it, and I remember the pictures of them all crammed together in airports.

Where will Trump get his racist videos from now?

Facebook bans QAnon across its platforms
The change is a significant escalation over its previous actions targeting QAnon and one of the broadest rules the social media giant has put in place in its history.

QAnon is a conspiracy theory that grew out of the fringes of the internet and posits that high-profile Democrats and Hollywood celebrities are members of a child-eating cabal that is being secretly taken down by President Donald Trump, and that members of this fictitious cabal will soon be marched to their execution. The conspiracy theory relies on posts from Q, an anonymous user of the extremist message board 8kun, which was formerly called 8chan, who has been wrongly predicting the roundup of prominent Democrats since October 2017.

The Facebook spokesperson said the company is “not going after individual posts,” but whole accounts that spread the conspiracy theory, which has been tied to acts of violence.

QAnon accounts have become centralized hubs for coordinated disinformation campaigns in the last several weeks. Before last Tuesday’s debate, QAnon accounts pushed the conspiracy theory that former Vice President Joe Biden was secretly wearing an earpiece before the debate even began.

In the last week, the QAnon community has pushed the conspiracy theory that Trump is not sick with the coronavirus, but carrying out secret missions in a fictitious war that has been predicted by QAnon followers.

Generally, QAnon accounts are also spreaders of coronavirus disinformation, as many followers do not believe the virus exists or that it’s as deadly as scientists say.
