I don’t think Kushner can contract covid; I think robots are unaffected.

To all you conspiracy people who think Trump is playing 3d chess and pretending to have Covid to garner sympathy, I say thee nay.

Yeah, he lies about everything, but often the lies are much worse - and just, well, dumber - than what we expected them to be.

These kind of mental gymnastics are no different than the crazy webs that inform QAnon conspiracy theories.

People, can we please shut down the idea that this diagnosis is a hoax? Trump is not Machiavelli - he’s a schoolyard bully, and the thing bullies fear above all else is showing any sort of weakness. At every turn, even before he was elected, Trump has lied, deflected and projected to avoid admitting to the slightest…

I agree.  I think this is legit as there’s more downsides to a COVID diagnosis than him participating in another debate.

It just feels like hundreds of years...

I can’t believe people here are saying “No please let him live so X, Y and Z (loses an election, goes to jail, etc)” . Have you learned anything? I mean you don’t have to root for a death or whatever you want but don’t keep acting like is a given and that waiting for a better outcome has resulted in a stepping on a…

I’m sure all our thoughts and prayers are with the coronavirus at this diffcult time.

People identify as radical progressives and socialist and then act SHOCKED that the one elected official in the entire country of 350 million people who has to appeal to every single American to win doesn’t “excite them.”

They are not undecided. They just don’t want to admit to who they are voting for.

Amen. I’m not normally one for disenfranchising people but if you’re an undecided voter now, you’re obviously unable to handle the rigors of decisionmaking and just need to be slapped.

200+k dead, tanked economy, lack of healthcare, grifting the country, crime, lies, chaos, loss of homes, jobs, govt shutdowns, 400+ senate bills ignored, destroying democracy, loss of faith in gov, loss of global respect, trade wars, destroying the environment, decimating protected land for profit, giving billions to…

Giving any legitimacy to anyone that pretends that Trump and Biden are even in the same league in terms of policy, intelligence, mental acuity, and coherence is fucking dangerous. Thank you for not doing that.

Do I want to know what a lemon party is, given that it apparently involves floating condoms?

Thank you for this. I keep telling everyone this year that votes even in “safe” states are going to mean something this year. We don’t just need to win the Electoral College, we need to send a message. I don’t care if Biden’s going to win California by 30 points; keep padding that margin. The bigger the margin, the…

Husband and I are living in Australia. We had our ballots emailed them to us on 19 Sept, and Fedexed them back on 21 Sept. $80 well spent.

Well, over on BB, they are claiming Trump “destroyed” Biden tonight. So, they don’t care about strategy. Trump could have walked out, taken a giant dump on stage, and they be celebrating his brilliance.

I suspect that what we see as “colicky baby,” Trump sees as “showing the most dominance in all of human history. Bigly. Everyone’s talking about it.”

So, my takeaway is that Trump is doing absolutely everything he is not supposed to be doing to try and win over more voters, huh? I’m glad I didn’t watch this. We knew how this was going to go down.
