But also, maybe people will finally take this epidemic seriously. If Donald Trump has to get sick and die for his supporters to start wearing their fucking masks when in public, it’s a sacrifice worth making.

gee I wonder if this was his “October surprise”?  a fabricated 2-week vacation away from the dumpster fire of his campaign that he can either (1) end early to look like a superman and make the virus look fake to his cultists, OR (2) prolong to the point that he has to drop out of a race he was bound to lose and save…

I’m so jaded at this point that I’m convinced it’s fake--50% to get out of the debates, and 50% to be able to say, “look this old fat guy had it and he’s fine, covid’s no big deal!” right before the election.

It isn’t that we didn’t notice that he said that, as I sure noticed; it is that he went on so quickly to the next insane thing and then the next insane thing, and then the next insane thing in such a rapid fire succession that it was hard to keep track of every stupid or insane thing that he vomited out during that…

On the contrary, the problem with Romney is he does have principles.  Namely that he is committed to serving his extremely Mormon constituency.  That means he both detests Donald Trump for being a foul mouthed oaf but also desperately wants a strong conservative majority on the SCOTUS.

It would be really nice if outlets did not try to “both sides” this one. Republicans deliberately tabled this bill in bad faith knowing Dems could never accept it. Mitch McConnell admitted this himself. Dems wanted 1.3 trillion, GOP countered with 300 billion. That is not a compromise, that is an insult. Also the bill…

You know who won’t be there?

I mean, the repub convention starts Monday and they still don’t have their lineup of speakers sorted out. From what i’ve read, Trump is constantly dictating last minute changes and micro-managing, so its probably impossible for organizers to get things properly sorted out (not to mention most competent people have…

yea cause now we know he’s a racist AND a disingenuous mealy mouthed little bitch.

Exactly.

It does not reflect his view of being able to post racist bullshit without consequences.

It almost seems as if, as a general principle, it would be sound to give people the benefit of doubt, before rushing to conclusions. Almost as if the blind belief in accusations is unwise before a proper investigation is completed.

So you going to apologize for calling his apology “weaselly” now that it’s clear he was being pretty magnanimous to accusations made in ill-faith?

Did... you just call basic scientific discussion “weasel words”?

Question: What studies have you been reading that are ever 100% sure that they have found what they have found?

Because I will say that I’m CERTAIN that uncertain words are generally typical of most scientific and technical conversations.

For example:

If you…

Lot of that in my wife’s family. And I ain’t even all that good so it’s a frightening thought how they must see other black people.

The greatest contribution Cain ever made to this society is dying. Fuck Herman Cain into the furthest corner of Hades. And may Donald Trump cozy up next to him in the near future.

In the same way White slaveowners had Blacks slaves and freedmen rounding up runaway slaves and Nazis had selected Jews rounding up, informing on and beating other Jews, the Republican party has successfully groomed a number of Black folk like Herman to buy into the idea that they are somehow ‘special’ and ‘different’…

The head of “Blacks for Trump” dies after contracting the virus at a Trump rally. He cooned himself to death.

It’s not transmissible from humans to turtles.
