Do we have to express sympathy?
No, it's a nasty fecking virus and it deserves all it gets
I do feel sorry for all those people at increased risk having to help the loons who gather with alongside Trump or at Trump events sans masks

The latest video from Trump - he’s still spewing the same bullshit: “the therapeutics, just around the corner, they’re like miracles coming down from god”

Fuck me!

Did I read somewhere that Trump is being released tomorrow?
Besides any smoke he may blow re the drugs taken, will he claim that he made the quickest recovery ever.
No doubt the liar would fuck it up by saying he was the person closest to death who has recovered.

It's been revealed that the source of the comments that; "the president's vital signs over the previous 24 hours had been "very concerning" and that the next 48 hours would be critical.", was Mark Meadows, ... the WH Chief of Staff, so not some flunky who just makes the coffee.

This picture of him outside Walter Reed, shortly before he passed the note to some journalists, gives his leak, some atmosphere.

The second blog post on the same page also carried a message that resonated.
The age issue — however unfair — remains. Biden looked older than I’ve ever seen him, and with less of a grizzled-elder-vibe than a nursing-home-visit one. In the primary debates, he managed at times to look vigorous, even sharp, to the relief of many of us. Last Tuesday, he looked … well, the word that comes to mind is simply frail.
In other words, unlike people who only paid attention to him starting in 2018, those of us who've watched him for decades see that he's slowed down considerably. This is not necessarily to suggest that his brain is diseased, but it hardly diminishes the idea that he's going to be in the backseat in his own administration. As that link goes on to say:
The best line of the night — “Will you just shut up, man?” — was wonderful in the moment, but also showed just how reactive Biden was throughout. He never seized the initiative, and was constantly on the back foot. He never demonstrated the kind of authority you want to see and feel in a president.

[examples of his flubs -- just read the article, it's not long]

He portrayed critical race theory as a completely harmless attempt not “to hurt other people’s feelings,” which is the kind of view you’d expect from someone who has no idea what is actually happening, and someone who, as president, will do nothing to stop it.
Although I don't much buy the Trojan Horse for the Far Left theory -- if anything, he's a not terribly subtle Trojan Horse for the same neoliberal interests he's always championed. This is the real danger IMO. That's the exact same shit that ultimately brought us Trump.

Fair call IMO.
While many of us might hope that the voting public learn the lesson that Trump isn't the type of person you should elect to government, large sections of the voting public clearly felt they needed to. It would be a travesty if both parties don't learn lessons on how to govern that mean the public don't feel they need to do so again in future.

Not holding my breath though - you can't please all the people all the time obviously and it seems it will take along time to reduce/ remove the current polarization.

“Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential ‘drive-by’ just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. They might get sick. They may die. For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater. This is insanity.” -- James Phillips, Chief of Disaster Medicine, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center

Apparently, dexamethasone can make you feel invincible and eager to do stuff. Might be he's just gone a bit mad, hence the drive by and the friendly message etc.

Trump's security detail are supposed to take the bullet for him, but I don't think they expected him to be the one unloading on full auto with his eyes shut.

Like all drugs, dexamethasone can have side effects. Listed among the most common are anxiety, altered mood and cognitive impairment.

Biden was probably the most electable of the 20 odd candidates who put their hat in the ring; his issues with his advanced years might be concerning, but anyone who believes that Trump is a better choice needs his head examined.

All this scare mongering about Biden being a trojan horse for socialists and marxists determined to impose universal healthcare and confiscate guns is implausible hogwash and I presume that you are being ironic.

It's just excruciating watching intelligent and professional folk like the doctors being made to bullshit and make themsleves look daft. It's what happens when literally no one has the balls to challenge him I guess.

Much as I dislike Clarkson, this feels quite appropriate for the rash infections among the Trumpist mob who've done so much to discredit real information and prevent effective handling of the covid situation across the pond.

DT’s a nightmare. But I have to say Biden brings loads of worry too. Democracy has gone belly up when you get choices like Trump / Biden and Boris / Corbin. Yes, I know Corbin has faded away but I believe my point stands.
