Good news there Lweji.

@VeryLittleOwl

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.
I hope so.

I don't remember who said it so I can't attribute this quote to its author.

“Never trust a man who doesn't like dogs; always trust a dog who doesn't like a man.”

I bet dogs HATE Scrotus.

@BruceAndNosh

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)
So despite the White House announcing a couple of hours ago - no rallies until Monday - apparently Trump has now decided to do some in person appearance to the public from White House balcony on Saturday. Having another Evita moment? They would be advised not to pick up any MAGA hats he chucks out.
lionheart · 09/10/2020 21:46

I surprised he didn't get a dog just for the photo-ops like he did with the boy and a lawn mower.

The one that inspired a thousand memes... Smile

"President Donald Trump will emerge from his Covid-forced isolation Saturday for a speech from a White House balcony, allowing the public their first independent glimpse in days of a leader recovering from coronavirus. Hundreds of guests have been invited to the White House for the event, despite concerns about a late September ceremony in the Rose Garden that may have acted as the nexus for a viral outbreak that has ripped through Trump's staff."

Above is from CNN. Mother FUCK. The insanity just never ends, does it? What the 'Dear Leader' wants, the 'Dear Leader' gets.

Next will we be told that Scrotus descended from a mountain on the back of a unicorn.

Heffalooomia · 09/10/2020 22:02

I think he's going restyle himself as some kind of Billy Graham character...he'll be anointing people with his sacred breath to cure them of corona

I am really, really surprised at this.

I can only assume there was no dirt to be dug up or wrongdoings to be exposed. This way Scrotus can still hint at the arrests and indictments to come 'if I'm reelected'.

TBH I'm sure the Debate Cmte was only to happy to have solid grounds to cancel the debate.

Biden is doing a Town Hall on that Wednesday instead. And I've heard that Scrotus wants to do one the next day but that nothing is confirmed.

South Carolina Senate seat debate format changed after Lindsey Graham refuses Covid test

I've found a stream of tucker Carlson tonight. The self-flagellating, self-loathing part of me wants to see how it goes.
I'll report back if the tiny fish that need water get a mention.

Flavabobble · 10/10/2020 01:25

It's not a live interview. No anal-probing (so far)
He's sending regeneron to everybody. Everybody. Everybody, including the elderly, for free.
They checked his lungs, he has lungs.

Flavabobble · 10/10/2020 01:34

Lots of words, lots of them, something about a basement, more words. I've stopped understanding the words.

Flavabobble · 10/10/2020 01:39

He wants to donate plasma.
He's been retested, doesn't know result yet.
He's learned it's a contagious disease...

Plasma? Lovely. I'll have 8 pints please.
BruceAndNosh · 10/10/2020 02:12

@Flavabobble's recap doubtless is more coherent than the real interview.
No prostate exam then?

AcrossthePond55 · 10/10/2020 02:19

Flava I admire your tenacity. I can usually handle about 30 seconds of his incoherent ramblings, mendacity, and braggadocio. I salute you.

BruceAndNosh · 10/10/2020 02:50

So he "didn't have breathing problems" despite saying in a recent video that he was "very sick" before he was given Placebolol or whatever it's called

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 10/10/2020 06:45

@ludothedog

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

Thank you for that, @ludothedog - so it will all be down to Trumpery. And the GOP accepting disgusting behaviour in their quest for power, and the media not doing their job properly and taking him to task for his lies, or just, finally, ignoring him and removing the oxygen of publicity from him.
Roussette · 10/10/2020 07:01

Flavabobble love your precis of what went on. Haven't been on Twitter yet to find out all about it, one thing that struck me..

'He's been retested but doesn't know the result yet'

BOLLOCKS. Months ago he was showing off in the Rose Garden super bigly machines that gave covid results in 15 minutes. Yet he doesn't know the result of a test?
He's obviously still negative.
But is ignoring it so he can do his Covita Balcony speech tonight. I might self combust if there is stirrling music, flashing lights and a smoke machine.

Roussette · 10/10/2020 07:02

*stirring music

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) refused to take a COVID-19 test as demanded by his Democratic challenger, Jaime Harrison, forcing organizers of Friday's U.S. Senate debate to change the format at the last minute.

Why it matters: If Graham were to test positive for the virus it could delay confirmation hearings on Trump's Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett

This is shocking isn't it...
Surely these people should be forced to take a covid test? You can't just walk around with covid infecting anyone you come into contact with, to suit your political agenda
