@BoreOfWhabylon that News week article you linked to makes it quite clear how this interview and physical exam is going to unfold. The doctor's prostate exam will be straightforward as he's already got his nose up Trump's ass.

BoreOfWhabylon · 09/10/2020 17:05

Nicely summed up BruceAndNosh

BoreOfWhabylon · 09/10/2020 17:07

Even if he gibbers and capers around the studio, flinging handfulls of shit at the cameras and baying at the moon, Dr Marc is still going to pronounce him to be in full mental and physical health

GetTheDoorFrank · 09/10/2020 17:09

Tell me he didnt actually physically tweet this.... 🙈🙈

An idea. Let's drain his blood to get antibodies to heal the many sick in the US.

BruceAndNosh · 09/10/2020 18:07

Trump is on the radio wittering on about explosive trees again. I hoping to hear more about these tiny fish who need water

BruceAndNosh · 09/10/2020 18:09

Seriously, did his doctors lace his dexamethasone with Angel Dust?

lionheart · 09/10/2020 18:25

Let's hope there is not a re-run of 2016:

www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/10/hillary-clinton-doing-now-2020/616668/

'Hillary Clinton has been in lockdown like everyone else. It feels like Groundhog Day, she told me Wednesday afternoon. But existential exhaustion looks different for a woman who has spent the past four years thinking about the final month of the 2016 election—and who worries that Vladimir Putin, disinformation, and our deep political divides will still threaten American democracy even if Biden wins.'

Sad

'"I am a huge fan of really strong leaders, and I think that Justice Ginsburg was able to champion a lot of things," US Army Capt. Shaye Haver, a company commander of 1st Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, told Insider.'

Don't bother trying to understand California's 'water wars', they've been going on since 1913 and Wm Muholland. I've lived here all my life and I still don't understand them myself.

Endangered species, 'stolen' water, dams, water 'tunnels', farms, vernal pools, droughts, and floods are all in there somewhere.

Roussette · 09/10/2020 18:57

Thank you Across
I must move away from the little fish who are a bit poorly without water!

And in more news....
"In Europe, you go there, they have forest nations, they call them Austria, different places. They don't have the woods burning down, and their trees are more explosive than ours, meaning explosive from potential fire." -- Trump to Rush Limbaugh on climate change

On Trump's tweet of 17.09. Yes he tweeted this today.
Twitter took it down.

BruceAndNosh · 09/10/2020 19:20

So apparently Trump won't be doing rallies this weekend, might be Monday. (Obviously the negative test that McNinny promised turned out to be still postive today)

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 09/10/2020 19:33

@Jaichangecentfoisdenom

I had a random thought, I presume I'm not the first to wonder this but would like to know what you think. As we know to our cost, Hillary Clinton won the "people's vote" in 2016 but lost the electoral college. Surely, after 4 years of Trump's fiasco, Democrats will do their utmost to ensure Biden gets in, despite his age and their other objections to him, and surely some Republicans will vote for Biden too, so how can Biden NOT get in? Is that too simplistic? Or will the electoral college f*ck it up again for the people of the USA?
We have a friend in the UAE who tested positive for Covid-19 or whatever its current incarnation is, two weeks ago. When they went to get another test, in order to get a clearance certificate to be able to go to work, and it was positive and they called the Health Authority, asking what to do, they were told there was no point testing again for three months after the first positive test as the antibodies stayed present for at least three months, even if no symptoms were on display. Also, will no one answer my earlier question?
ludothedog · 09/10/2020 19:39

Jaichange your question is THE question isn't it. I hope there will be a blue wave but there is no guarantee. Because Trump has no shame he has got away with so much where others would be long gone and he has that stubborn base that are so committed to him......

Polls look good but then there is still time for that to change and polls have been wrong before

GetTheDoorFrank · 09/10/2020 19:41

rousette sweet jesus he is truly deranged now! I had saw the fb post that i posted here then went to twitter thinking nah he wouldnt of posted that... but lo and behold he had. Hope twitter swiftly deleted it

Ups

"More than 1,600 have endorsed the Democratic candidate, a marked change from 2016 when 80% of white evangelicals backed Trump"

"A group called Pro-life Evangelicals for Biden said that, despite disagreeing with the Democratic candidate’s stance on abortion, “we believe that on balance, Joe Biden’s policies are more consistent with the biblically shaped ethic of life than those of Donald Trump. Therefore … we urge evangelicals to elect Joe Biden as president.”"

Checking in for updates.

VeryLittleOwl · 09/10/2020 20:30

I think Nancy Pelosi is thinking a couple of steps ahead with this 25th amendment thing. If she succeeds in getting Trump declared incapable, then that gives the Democrats grounds to say he wasn't in his right mind when he made his Supreme Court nomination and overturn it.

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 09/10/2020 20:37
