Mark Meadows tells you how contagious the virus is, then excuses why he did not wear a mask. Or maybe he excused the mask absence first.

Mike Pence is a fool. So is Bill Stepien.

Here's what Bill Stepien, Trump 2020 campaign manager, wrote in a statement:

Quote
“All previously announced campaign events involving the President’s participation are in the process of being moved to virtual events or are being temporarily postponed. In addition, previously announced events involving members of the First Family are also being temporarily postponed. All other campaign events will be considered on a case-by-case basis and we will make any relevant announcements in the days ahead. Vice President Mike Pence, who has tested negative for Covid-19, plans on resuming his scheduled campaign events. Any further information about the President will come from the White House.”

Shame trump has already burned his sick days on golfing. They’re going to have to deduct the next several weeks from his salary. Not good news for a crooked schmuck who needs every penny he can get.

When are they going to leak the photos of trump with the swab up his nose? It is important that the electorate sees the expression he had on his face at that moment.

Biden tested negative.

I imagine he will be tested again for a couple more days in a row.
I believe he, and Harris, have been tested daily for some time.


hmmmm....

For the longest time Joe dodged that question.

Daily?  I would be surprised.
I believe since he became the nominee. Before that he was on a normal testing protocol.

Biden’s specific protocol is hard to find. I’ve been hunting around for it and nada.

Organizations built around good leaders leak less than ones built around utter assholes it seems.

My understanding is that, out of respect that we have massively short testing capacity in this country and that in Joe’s mind running for President does not put you on the front line the way a cop or a nurse or a grocery clerk is, he’d take behavioral precautions, do temp checks, test periodically just to be safe, or if he was in a riskier than optimal situation.

It may be more than that, but I haven’t seen evidence one way or another.

He and his doctor say his test was negative today.

If they are saying the same thing in a week, he’s most likely fully clear from catching trumpitis at the first debate.

There is a weird discussion going around in the news.

It’s really a simple issue that I’m glad to clear up.

Donald trump has always been incapacitated. He has never been able to fulfill the duties of the presidency. The current developments in the status of his health are completely irrelevant to the question. You don’t mind someone leaving if they were never there at all.

So who gets an "experimental cocktail" that has barely been tested, for the sniffles?

Bunker paranoids, reckless endangerers, the MIT adjacent.

Donald can’t get farther than two feet from a crash cart or closer than six feet from a human being.

It's Karma Week...

https://www.wvpublic.org/energy-environment/2020-09-30/bob-murray-who-fought-against-black-lung-regulations-as-a-coal-operator-has-filed-for-black-lung-benefits

  Robert E. Murray, the former CEO and president of the now-bankrupt Murray Energy, has filed an application with the U.S. Department of Labor for black lung benefits. For years, Murray and his company fought against federal mine safety regulations aimed at reducing the debilitating disease.

“I founded the company and created 8,000 jobs there until the move to end coal use. I am still chairman of the board,” he wrote on a Labor Department form that initiated his claim obtained by the Ohio Valley ReSource. “We’re in bankruptcy, and due to my health could not handle the president and CEO job any longer.”
