...

I fucking hate polarizing politics.  I have enough to deal with right now with the full moon.

(No, not a werecreature. I just deal with dementia in the elderly at night. Some say it is superstition, but it's totally a real thing. Thy go bananas on full moons. Already had a woman try to throw herself out of bed twice, and another on the prowl to eat anything she can find.)

It is 100% a real thing and don't let anyone tell you otherwise, I have nonpublic data on this.

Assuming that's a real phenomenon, what causes it?

Nobody knows! My best working theory is that the change in nighttime light levels might affect circadian entrainment (the automatic resetting of your circadian cycle according to light levels), plausibly causing a stimulant effect like we know light therapy does (except 'wrongly-timed'), but for all we know there might be some heretofore-undiscovered lunar clock in the brain serving some obscure pre-civilisation purpose.

This just in, Trump has the 'rona. Later than potentially expected, but well it was going to happen eventually.

Hard to feel any sympathy.

Wonder how his supporters will take it/explain it away now...

The way 2020 is going, we'll soon learn that Trump gave Corona to Biden at the debate, and Biden will die just before the election.

The moon man is the face of madness.

My conspiracy brain is going "Trump administation knew that Trump had it and sent him to the debate anyway on the off chance it kills Biden."

But that'd be ridiculous.

Utterly impossible.

No way.

Trump's immune to the effects Corona because he doesn't even drink alcohol. Also, McDonald's fries shall preserve the head parasite forever.

That joke by Biden during the debate (was it? or one of the pre/post-debate tweets?) that Trump should try injecting himself with bleach looks a lot harsher in hindsight.

Gotta say I'm super shocked though. Donald was a known germaphobe, well before politics. And since that Bob Woodward book indicated Trump realizes how serious the virus actually is, I'm surprised he'd let himself get caught like that.

Trump's intense ego would not allow him to do such a thing.

If he recovers quickly, they'll say "See?! It's harmless", ignoring the 200,000+ dead.

If he dies, they'll blame the Deep State for poisoning him and insist it wasn't COVID.

What happens if COViD takes out both Trump and Biden before the election?

[RedKing]

I assume Pence becomes President, has to choose a new VP, and Harris becomes the Dem nominee and has to choose a new running mate.

Now if it were to happen say, the day before Election Day....yeah, dunno. And that would be the 2020-est thing to happen in 2020.

[wierd]

Wouldn't that just be some historical shit, if that's how we get the first female president...

[misko27]

Pence... On one hand, he's probably the only person who could weld the former republican party "moderates" back into the coalition with "see? Trump gone, I'm a totally different guy." but he's also probably the only way they'd lose the enthusiasm from the base. Can't tell if that's a net gain or loss for their election prospects.

Also: do you think Trump will quarantine? Surely they can't do more debates under this circumstance? Unless they lock trump in a bubble or a different room or something; which, might improve things.
