I just got home from the hospital yesterday with a Staph infection of my blood. They put in a PICC line (a catheter in my right arm for antibiotics,) for the next six weeks, all of which makes me much more susceptible to disease and infection.
So, ya, I'm a little stressed right now.
"Almost no" is a dumb qualifier to have when literally all it takes is one interaction
Absolutely. But preferably Feinstein's seat. I imagine Becerra will want Kamala's seat lol
Yeah just kind of act like you are already for the next 8 months
Even Obama had his ass handed to him by Romney in their first debate.
Is there any legal requirement for Trump or Pence to disclose being tested for coronavirus?
cause knowing trump Im sure he's getting tested daily

This pandemic, and the economic disaster that has (and will continue to) ensue is the end of his presidency.
There's no coming back from this... Particularly when we're probably a few months from the worst of it.
I kinda wish the general was in 3-4 weeks. I imagine it would be a blowout and we wouldn't have to worry about the health of the candidates and the justices as much. Oh well
Refusing to test the president is extremely bizarre to me. Like, why not? He even meets their own extremely strict criteria for testing, having interacted with virus positive individuals. Only reason I can think of is that they are actually worried he has it and don't want that info getting out.
The whole "the president is infallible and immortal" suicide cult thing is only cute when North Korea does it. These people will be taking photos holding hands with the sick president in a bunker as the WH burns around them.
They don't want the possibility of testing positive. That would run counter to their narrative that it isn't that big of a deal.
Does anyone have a link for the Joe presser?
Yes! Even Reagan was generally considered to have lost his first debate to Mondale. No one remembers it because of Reagan destroying in the second, though. Granted, the debate this year seems even less likely to influence the trajectory of the race than normal. But I'm not worried about Biden.
They're probably just lying. No way he or the secret service isn't testing him
Trump sounded terrible last night, and the other day Pence looked blotchy as hell. Whether they have it or not, they did not look or sound well.
I missed the Biden speech, but the conventional norms on candidate speeches is "We're supposed to have only one president at a time." (which the Romney 2012 press-conference setup got criticized for, which was mentioned here). From the sound of everyone's posts, and based on Trump's address last night, Biden didn't violate that norm.

If it comes out that he's getting tested DAILY, or even multiple times, when we very clearly do not have anywhere cloooooooooooose to the number of testing kits we need for this country... that's a real riot inducing possibilty, I feel like...
I would think so too but then, why not just say he tested negative? I guess in Trumps idiot mind, getting tested is admission this is actually a problem. Even though we are way past him being able to downplay it. Fuck he's so awful. Literally everything he does is terrible.
I don't trust them to be able to keep him getting tested (or testing positive) under wraps. Odds are that shit would leak.
Sorry to hear that. Stay safe out there, keep your distance from folks when possible.
Thing is, even if he is infected, it might be two weeks before he can test positive.
There's no way they're not testing him. We won't know about it though. Trump doesn't want to seem weak so he's not going to let them say it.
I think they could keep the test under wraps (maybe), but if he gets serious symptoms it will definitely come out.
yup. did they change his logo to look like Biden President?
don't forget it's another 2 months for the next administration to take office too.
I forgot it was so bad that the campaign was waiting for Biden to decimate Ryan to shake off the stink, lol.
Trump testing positive would be devastating to the GOP & Economy so I believe they aren't testing him unless/until he is hospitalized. Even if he has mild symptoms they can just ride that out. Of course, dying because you didn't get any treatment would be worse but they're nothing if not short-sighted
Is there anything stopping Thomas and co. from retiring in November if Trump loses?
The turnaround on confirmation hearings would be really, really short, even for the GOP.
Nope. Nothing stopping McConnell from ramming through a confirmation of whatever ghoul trump throws up in garbage time either.
He most likely got it from the guy who....also met with Trump...
edit: if this is real. Not sure who Victor Hugo Michel is.
I love Biden giving presidential-like addresses. He should continue doing it everytime Trump addresses the country. We need actual leadership, this isn't about politics.
Obama was a pretty terrible debater. It's a silly format with no basis in reality, to be honest. It's like we pretend that legislative 'debate' is an actual exchange of ideas so it matters
Literally no journalist or outlet in Brazil has reported this, I don't know why so many foreign journalists are breaking the story.
