bush_cheney2004 Posted October 3, 2020 Report Posted October 3, 2020 Joe Biden suspends his negative attack ads against a great American....President Donald J. Trump...as he fights the invisible enemy from China...again. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

It's a good speech. Sounds like Biden really resonates with you. So you would rather like Biden, because he spoke nicely into the camera and he behaved very presidential. He was very eloquent. So bring on the left then, bring on social engineering, BLM, and let us purge systemic racism from our souls in all its forms. Right down to the little ones in kindergarten. Teach the to be ashamed of their skin and to be guilty for what "whites" have done. Bring on mass immigration for economic refugees, and minimum guaranteed wages for all. Bring on more crimes, defund the police and bring social workers to deal with crime. Bring on mandatory face masks, everywhere, in public. Bring on being told who we can and cannot go visit. Bring on getting your ass stamped, just to allow you to go outside. May I see your vaccination papers? These are the people you're admiring. Quote

Nonsense.....Joe Biden's campaign made the tactical decision to pull the negative campaign ads because it may cost him votes in swing states. ...and a Canadian national tried to murder the U.S. president with ricin....so classy ! 1 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

It would be great if he was a nice guy through and through, but it is not important to being the president. Obama portrayed himself as such, yet we learned that he was not entirely like what he showed us. He did a lot of the bad things too, just the media never said much about it. They kept it quiet, for Obama. 2 Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted October 3, 2020 Report Posted October 3, 2020 President Trump has yet again found a way to dominate the news media, crowding out Biden and his supporters' 'HATE AMERICA' messaging. Even CNN and MSNBC have to cover Trump and all the support he is getting from around the world....must be killing them ! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Indeed....President Trump is not a "nice guy"...he is a marvelous bastard ! So two things can happen: 1) Trump recovers from the invisible Chinese virus and lives on to fight the 2020 campaign with a COVID badge of courage, like many other Americans. Or, 2) Trump succumbs to the invisible Chinese virus and is buried at Arlington next to JFK as a national hero ! 1 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

This is not unlike the president being shot. The president’s life is in danger. I find myself asking how it could happen. POTUS is the most protected person in the world. Massive security apparatus, intense health screening. As a context, I read where certain military aircraft were immediately scrambled when the announcement came out. Command and control aircraft intended for protection against nuclear attack. How could he get the virus? Its a massive failure of security. It is akin to assassination attempt, or Sept 11 moment, without the deaths. Quote

It is akin to assassination attempt, or Sept 11 moment, without the deaths. Boris Johnson and other national leaders have also been infected despite any security efforts or COVID screening. Plus Trump has made it much more difficult by insisting on being out there for the campaign and other duties. Trump will make the best of the situation: 1) Lots of media attention...his favourite thing...and tweets until death 2) Less media bandwidth for Biden/Harris 3) Defacto recognition and consideration for the presidency and line of succession (your point above) 4) Street cred for walking his COVID talk, as in economy over shutdowns 5) Tacit nod to therapeutics like Remdesivir and better care protocols reducing mortality FDR died shortly after his fourth term started from congestive heart failure, Eisenhower had a heart attack in 1956 (recovered), Reagan and Bush #41 both had down time due to various circumstances. The lesson learned was not to hide the information from the public, and so far Trump's team has been forthcoming about his status. The U.S. Constitution and Amendments anticipated such circumstances and the line of succession is very clear. Several presidents have been assassinated or otherwise died in office without skipping a beat. Next man (or woman) up ! Edited October 3, 2020 by bush_cheney2004 1 1 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
OftenWrong Posted October 3, 2020 Report Posted October 3, 2020 This may be a good outcome for Trump, but we’ll see. Generally anything thats unexpected, is bad. If it hasnt been said yet, hello October Surprise. Just sayin, POTUS is different. I dont know if its true about scrambling the jets, but why not. If its their protocol, they will. I would think the FBI has also started an investigation, by their protocol. 1 Quote
-TSS- Posted October 3, 2020 Report Posted October 3, 2020 This election may turn out to be a similar farce like the one 20 years ago. Or even worse. The Supreme Court will end up deciding who won the election. 1 Quote
Boges Posted October 3, 2020 Report Posted October 3, 2020 Should Trump recover and return to campaigning, he should be pilloried for his grave indifference in how his campaign told no one that Hope Hicks was infected. The likely Super Spreader Event was the announcement of ACB for the Supreme Court. Now Kelly-Anne Conway has it, more to follow likely. The Trump Campaign then went to Cleveland for the Debate, the Trump family refused masks in the crowd! If proper Contact Tracing was done in the US, I'm sure it would be discovered that, that even infected many many people. Even more than were actually at the even. As much as Trump was trying to make the campaign about anything but COVID-19, now it's all the campaign will be about. He's also the first POTUS in modern history to face re-election with less jobs created then when he took office. Quote
