The TRUMP VIRUS:
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/10/13/923253681/americans-are-dying-in-the-pandemic-at-rates-far-higher-than-in-other-countries

During this pandemic, people in the United States are dying at rates unparalleled elsewhere in the world.

A new report in the Journal of the American Medical Association finds that in the past five months, per capita deaths in the U.S., both from COVID-19 and other causes, have been far greater than in 18 other high-income countries.

"It's shocking. It's horrible," says Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel, a professor of health policy and medical ethics at the University of Pennsylvania and one of the authors of the study.

"The United States really has done remarkably badly compared to other countries," he says. "I mean, remarkably badly."

The study looks at per capita death rates in 2020 in 18 countries with populations larger than 5 million people and per capita gross domestic product levels above $25,000 per year. It breaks out deaths attributed to COVID-19 and examines how total deaths in the U.S. are higher than normal this year. This so-called "all-cause" mortality takes into account fatalities that may have been due to the coronavirus but were never confirmed or were due to other factors such as people not seeking medical care during the crisis.

Overall deaths in the United States this year are more than 85% higher than in places such as Germany, Israel and Denmark after adjusting for population size. Deaths in the U.S. are 29% higher than even in Sweden, "which ignored everything for so long," Emanuel says. Sweden made a point of refusing to order strict social restrictions and never went in to a full lockdown. "We have 29% more mortality than we should have if we'd followed Sweden's path and Sweden virtually did nothing."

WAY TO GO, TRUMP.

The White House superspreader Coronavirus cluster keeps growing as more come forward with positive tests.

Junkie trump still seems pretty pleased with himself as he sheds more and more electoral support and still has no plan to control Covid in the USA.

Still from yesterday - sorry

Booker "interrupted Barrett 9 times in less than 20 minutes."

I like Cory

Behave, Cory.

Naw, whup that trick!

[LarryBnDC]

Maybe Biden is "ahead" because Trump's is a failed Presidency.

Yes.

But in fact....... no.

In fact... yes.

The failure you see is 215K dead.  I get that.

Something else?

Lord...

Hearing Biden is pulling a Hillary in Wisconsin.  Nowhere to be found.

And was overheard saying, "if we win Ohio its over"

Shhhhhh......

Less said, better - candidate.

Also interesting that tomorrow's town halls run 2 hours for Joe and just 1 for DT.

NBC employees super pissed that their bosses gave Trump the time at all - and especially that it runs at the same time as Uncle Joe.

Amy Coney Barrett on Originalism:
"That means that I interpret the Constitution as a law... I understand it to have the meaning that it had at the time people ratified it. That meaning doesn't change over time and it's not up to me to update it or infuse my policy views into it."

Hillary Clinton on Amy Coney Barrett:
"At the time the Constitution was ratified, women couldn't vote, much less be judges."

Even steroids can’t give sad trump Joe level stamina. Maybe trump can last half as long, but trump will be entirely off the rails.

When you can’t govern, can’t win an election, and can’t safely share a room, what’s left to do but grift and fleece what few suckers are left?

That’s because we’re kicking out trump and ending the GOP majority in the senate, opening the door to cleaning up the courts.

America always feels good after a successful Antifa campaign.

Just look at what happened after WWII.

I bet I  can think of at least 215,000 Americans who would think otherwise.

You really have to wonder how a party that brings us W Bush and Trump manages to continue to exist and have supporters.  Hopefully Biden understands that it's time to take the gloves off and reverse course drastically.  Bare-knuckle time or get flattened like usual.



Opposite.
Biden is ahead because he is a nice guy.
Stay the course - get run over - and still become 46.  This is the plan.
If Joe starts punching, all sorts of wild things will come out of that mouche.

Maybe I wasn't clear.
I meant that President Biden would need to be a fighter and not get Obama-ed by the GOP, getting run over while visions of bipartisanship plays in his head.

I'm quite fine with Bidne being a mushy happy warrior against Trump.  i'd have him duck the last debate.  Run out the clock.  Let Trump keep shooting himself in the bone spurs, but stay away form any ricocheting bullets ...
