Off Topic Politics Thread

I’d be careful with assumption such as “Biden was winning fairly comfortably” - remember Hilary was on the run up to the last election. Then “something” happened ....

 

I’m still hoping Supreme Court nominee shows up on the list so we can delay that decision.

 

She won't show up on the list, because apparently she already had it. However, the (now three) members of the Judiciary Committee who have it cannot advance her nomination until they recover. Which makes their insistence on pretending that COVID isn't a thing all the more insane: the one thing they want the most might be sabotaged because they insisted on spiking the football in the most reckless way possible.

Also, the chair of the Judiciary Committee? He's 87 years old. And currently refusing to be tested. That they blatantly disregard the well-being of others isn't surprising. The extent to which they disregard their own well-being is another matter. A former Republican presidential candidate has already died from going to a Trump rally without a mask. Multiple high-risk people, including Trump himself, have now tested positive. I really didn't see the party turning into a straight-up death cult.

 

Seems like a **** show brewing with Trump and timelines. May have been positive from Wednesday and knows and took in a rally etc.

Also sources say his vitals are worrying.

They are definitely not telling the whole story, but what should we expect!

 

Mark Meadows (Trump's Chief of Staff) has now confirmed that Trump was receiving supplemental oxygen yesterday morning, because his vitals dropped.

In true Trump White House fashion, Meadows did this "off the record", in full view of other journalists.

 

I estimate his vitals at around 38”, 56”, 62”

 

If he dies, presumably his base will be hanging round the tomb for three days.

 

So, about that...they're bringing food to the hospital. As a sort of tribute. McDonalds and cheap chain pizza.




That is not satire. That's a MAGA-loving alt-righter with 1m followers. Imagine that you're the most powerful person on the planet, and when your fanbase wants to do something to show their love, it's bringing absolute garbage food to you while you're in hospital in large part because you're morbidly obese as your diet consists of **** a raccoon would turn away.

 

“Sh1t a raccoon would turn away”



I’m stealing that if you don’t mind... and if you do, well, I’m stealing it!

 

Pity the poor satirists; the world’s gone well beyond satire now.

 

I'm actually a bit concerned that the ****er will croak, because he'll gain some kind of martyr status...could cause more damage dead than alive

 

He’ll go live with Elvis.

 

I don’t think the US Constitution will allow him to remain President if he’s actually dead.

The people who voted for him probably are scarier than he is anyway, and they’re not going away. Poor America. We can’t really be smug though; we’ve got Boris and Brexit to worry about.

 

It's the people who support him that worry me. Trump being dead won't stop them acting in his name.

Rough old time for us all politically, but I think the US will see more violence in the coming months and years whether Trump survives or not.

 

There we go, then! Problem solved!!!!!

Has no one told him how to do up his tie properly. He needs a "windsor" knot.

 

You need to have a word with his valet, I doubt he ever has to do his own tie up.

 

I will apply to become his valet so that I can teach hi mhow to do it properly! I'd take 5,000 euros for the lesson!! It would be worth it to see a smartly dressed JRM.

 

Needs a different sort of knot...
