("Now *that* would be some serious fucking 5-D chess.")

Or, to bring balance to the Force, engineer three of his own Republican-aligned SCOTUSes (SCOTii?) but by killing off the next four longest-term SCOTen, just in time for not being his to replace, allows three more immediate flips-to-Dem-aligned by the next Administration.

While that would be impressive, I get the feeling most of them are staying pretty damn isolated. Not sure if they were all at RBG's funeral service or not.

I can only hope that the turtle faced bastard has to live the rest of his short, miserable life on a respirator.

[Cthulhu]

I'm going to bed, I'll probably get up in ten hours or so.  Gonna go ahead and make a prediction that Trump will be intubated by the time I get up.

Trump receiving the experimental antibody treatment makes me think of CKII, and wonder why castration was not the first choice of his court physician.

This made my day. My Khagan the other day had cancer, went with experimental, and got castrated but it DID cure the cancer. I was like "Oh...that kind of cancer."

I'm thinking being that it's 2020, Regeneron will be discovered to cause an insatiable hunger for human flesh. And look forward to hearing Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity talk about how cannibalism is a proud part of American history and it's under attack from these vile revisionist ANTIFA Leftists.


EDIT: Kellyanne Conway also tweeting that she has COVID.

Huh, what are EVs? Really interesting analysis, I have to admit I don't really understand the data and how it interpret it so your conclusions are helpful. Where does this info come from?

Effort Values. Presidential candidates increase them by campaigning, which increases their stats when they level up. The candidate with the highest EVs tends to win the election, unless they're disqualified somehow.

Oh, so that's why all the politicians are now getting Pokérus.

Also now testing positive: the president of Notre Dame University (who was also at the SCOTUS nomination event), and several reporters from the WH press pool.
Testing negative: Biden and Pelosi.

Plenty of recent photos of Conway talking at far less than 6 feet distance with Bill Barr, both unmasked.


So what happens if your entire Cabinet is sidelined? Also, it's going to be some goddamn delicious schadenfreude if Trump wipes out half his henchmen because they just had to have a little political theater for the SCOTUS pick.

[Dostoevsky]

Worth remembering that statistically it remains the fact (I think?) that a large majority of cases are symptomless or minor. Even with Trump's various negative modifiers I think he's still more likely than not to recover and live without major long term health problems.

That said, with this many people in the inner ranks sick it's also statistically likely that at least a few get it bad, and maybe one or two die.

[RedKing]

That's assuming a population mirroring the national population at-large. The government (especially Congress and the upper WH echelons) are disproportionately old folks who are rich enough that they don't have to have good health. Remember, pre-existing conditions substantially increase the mortality rate. Just think of all the bloated, wrinkled sacks Trump has around him.
Melania and Hope Hicks will probably do okay, they're younger and appear to be in good shape.
Chad Wolf, Tom Cotton, Matt Gaetz, Mike Pompep -- probably okay.
McConnell, Barr, Lindsey Graham? That's iffy.
Wilbur Ross? Start picking out caskets.

Conway may have died two weeks ago and just hasn't been notified yet, no one would know the difference.

You may rest assured that he will have the absolute best medical care money can buy - all paid for by your taxes. You can’t get it though, because that would be communism.

[wierd]

Shit, maybe that magic spell I half-assedly put in that spoiler is working?

Phhht!
Confirmation bias ahoy.


Wouldn't it just be hilarious if this "mask theater" bullshit the right has been pulling literally is the death of them?


Well, DonnyBoy has decided that he wants to be in a hospital, on "An abundance of caution."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-covid/2020/10/02/b91072e6-04c3-11eb-a2db-417cddf4816a_story.html

Surely this is not to cover up that he has already started exhibiting alarming symptoms or anything. /s (what with his predisposition to cardiac trouble, which has been shown to statistically elevate risk factor for severe covid symptomology by a tremendous margin, along with his age, and his high cholesterol diet-- his rapid onset of symptoms here is alarming if you are worried about his health at all...  Suuuuuure white house PR people. "Abundance of caution."  Suuuure.)

Especially given that apparently none of Trump's coterie at the debate were wearing masks, even after being offered them.

Which brings me to wondering when the Trump Boys and Ivanka get their results back?

New nightmare scenario -- Trump recovers but Ivanka dies. Trump, stricken with grief, demands China clone her* or face war.

*_{^{"Only...maybe make the boobs a little bigger this time?"}}

[Frumple]

Dunno about nightmare, but trump being stricken by grief over someone else dying definitely involves some sort of dreamscape or hallucination.

Now, lying about it as an excuse to start shit with china, now you're getting closer to reality.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Yeah, Trump's best family relationships were probably with his brothers, and he didn't seem to particularly care when either of them died save lying about not drinking because of the first one.

If anything, he'd probably be happy to get rid of most of his children. Maybe not Ivanka, barely. Definitely Eric.

Oh by the way, stupid asshole Democrat Cal Cunningham probably just sunk his campaign by being a fucking horndog moron who'd lose an IQ test to a pile of dogshit, so unless Tillis actually does get rona'd it looks like we're stuck with him after all. Fucking Democrats.
