So for what it's worth the flying to Reed was actually just a few minutes ago (I live within visible range of the chopper route). He seems to be walking okay, according to local live footage.

If it is the same footage he put on Twitter, he looks and sounds like shit.

Well, I can at least I say the choppers definitely flew overhead. Local stations were acting like it was their reporter live footage, and they're not Trump fans.

Edit: I haven't seen whatever he sent out, mind.

To say it "works" you have to make an insanely narrow point (since we established that it doesn't work) that can be super easily misconstrued into a super toxic belief system, I mean like find another moment to shine
I just don't understand why anyone would care whether a fact "can be super easily misconstrued into a super toxic belief system". That kind of thinking is utterly beyond me and I wholeheartedly reject it.

(ETA: And while we're at it, our entire modern food system runs on eugenics and I can't emphasize this enough. It's an incredibly novel and fascinating definition of "doesn't work" that you have there.)

Modern genetic research says it wouldn't "work" because you can't eliminate carriers of recessive traits from the population because everyone is a carrier for at least one genetic disease. So eugenics "working" just involves forcibly euthenizing people who express the traits, forcibly sterilizing the relatives of people who express the traits.

The Perfect is the enemy of the Good. Instead of euthanizing or sterilizing anyone who possesses a single undesirable gene, just offer scaling tax incentives relative to the quantity of undesirable genes possessed. People who are highly likely to make really fucked up sick kids will have to pay more if they choose to do so. Conversely, people who are likely to make relatively healthy kids will receive a tax break if they choose to do so.

You don't have to make the world a perfect place. Just leave it better than it was when you got here.

Oooh! Apparently the new Q talking point is that Trump actually isn't sick, this was orchestrated to move him to "a secure location" so that the widespread arrests of the Deep State can begin.
I choose to believe I called it.

Also Trump has been moved to Walter Reed Hospital. He has been given that experimental monoclonal antibodies treatment as well; prior to the hospital move I believe.

He's been moved to a hospital already? That's either a severe case of jumping the gun or it's a good deal more serious than I expected.

Save the hospital beds for the actually serious cases, Trump.

Yes, hospital. For the next few days. Its also particularly difficult to find quotes from people of his condition who've actually spoken to him since Thursday.

A photo of him going to the hospital shows him walking under his own power; main change was wearing a mask for once.

News footage makes it appear to be a precaution since he was still up and walking around, looking more or less like he always does.

It'll probably be a couple of days before we know if he'll develop severe symptoms.

I'm seeing people saying they were given sped-up footage? Not sure if that's true or not.

Oh good, the Biden campaign is pulling all advertising which is negative to Trump. Fucking great. God damn, they want to lose the election even harder than I thought they did!
