Trump's positive COVID-19 test "stops all business" in U.S. Senate due to recent meeting with Mitch McConnell and "other senators," "must quarantine"

[Deleted member 3812]

Here's a journalist reporting that Trump's positive COVID-19 test will "stop all business" in the U.S. Senate due to a recent meeting with Mitch McConnell and "other senators" over his SCOTUS nominee, stating that "all must quarantine" as a result of Trump's positive COVID-19 test:

This stops all business in Congress, as Trump and Amy Coney Barrett were with McConnell, met with other senators.

All must quarantine. No business can go on.

The nomination to SCOTUS must wait until after the election.

huge, if true

let's see if they try to flout quarantine

 

[Silvergun-Blue]

Please let Mitch have it.

 

[Future Gazer]

October delivering the goods.

 

[Loud Wrong]

ACA lives to see another day.

 

[jobrro]

What a fucking shame.

 

[Red]

Had no idea Trump was onboard with Get Mitch or Die Trying.

 

[Solid SOAP]

Good.

 

[WascallyWabbit]

Is this speculation or news? The last bit I mean

 

[Liquid Plejades]

Gonna wait and see if this is actually true, or just that persons opinion and prediction....

 

[Waluigi's World]

Does this mean no stimulus?

If I believed in the afterlife I'd say RBG had a final laughfrom beyond the grave.

God, please let this be true.
Please let it be true and let McConnell's and Graham's plans have been totally derailed by this.

Please.

It feels like wishful thinking to me.

I've read the last scentence as a request.

 

[Fat4all]

I dunno if this is actually the case or not yet

but I have hope Spoopy October will save us

Upside: Supreme Court nomination is delayed.

Downside: Potential stimulus bill is also delayed.

 

[SneakyBadger]

He's the only person I've seen say this but I hope it's true. It would be a crazy twist in the election

 

[bigred50]

This is total speculation.

 

[porcupixel]

The majority of Senators were not in close contact with Trump recently so they'd have no reason to quarantine. Gonna need confirmation from something other than a Twitter rando. And it's irresponsible to state this so definitively without confirming it.

 

[YuriLowell]

I think this is just speculation and not news.

 

[Deimos]

Spooktober redeemed.

 

[BossAttack]

Please let Mitch have it.

🙏🙏🙏

However, if you think Republicans are stopping anything you are only fooling yourself.

 

[entremet]

I need official sources.

 

[yumms]

If it sounds to good to be true....

 

[Strittles]

Mitch getting it too would be so fucking great

 

[RedPanda]

please let this be true.

Exactly. What's to force them to actually follow rules

 

[ZeoVGM]

You shouldn't have made a thread on this.

It's speculation from a random radio host.

It's super important to check sources for this stuff.

 

[Titanpaul]

Need some official sourcing before I get excited. This reads as an assumption.

I think most people would take this trade. Stimulus bill delayed for a few months or a SCOTUS justice being nominated that could set the country back years for many years? I'll choose the former.

 

[Deleted member 31923]

Can they still get Amy Coney Barrett through before the election?

I'll be fine with the trade, but a lot of people in this country need the money, and a lot needed the money months ago.

even if they have to skip the election stretch, they can get her in between Election Day and inauguration

she's likely a lock :/

 

[LanceX2]

Dont see why they cant phone in votes

Yeah this thread is pointless

2020 storyline is the stuff of legends

 

[DrForester]

Good. I have no doubt they're going to rush through the pick, but it's going to look even worse for Republicans if they hold the confirmation after the election if Biden wins.

If Biden winning happens, the Republicans aren't going to care.

October in Day 1:

 

[Walter White Walker]

Gonna need to hear that for real, not speculation.

Lol, you think Republicans care about looks?

This doesn't appear to be confirmed news, just the reporter's speculation. Feel free to make another thread if there is confirmation.
