I Am Not A Physician but I've been listening to the clinicians on This Week in Virology https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/ and it seems like Donnie having all those symptoms early on suggests he's gonna be seriously ill. I'd bet on him being out of commission for at least a week and Pence will probably be acting President for a bit.

So, what happens to that 400 million in debt that Trump has if he croaks? Do we get to look forward to his kids having to crawl out from under it while in prison?

Any real assets are probably in trusts and protected.

What are you going on about? I don’t hate Biden or his wife and I’m not looking down on her for her job. Calm down.

If Biden is winding down the attack ads I certainly hope Lincoln project and the super pacs aren’t becuase I guarantee Trump won’t. Now is not the time for decorum, step on his neck and finish him.

Well you called her “Dr Jill” which has been used in USPOL derisively to imply that she’s some kind of pretender/coattail rider fluffing up her own status.

Yeah, in the ad basically what happens is that they show a guy that says "I'm voting Trump, but Mitch is screwing me and this state so I'm voting Amy". Which is one of the magical R->D voters Democrats are trying to target to win.

Almost certainly.

I said this in the polls thread, but it bears repeating here: With Lee and Tillis out, the Judiciary Committee is 10 R and 10 D. If the GOP loses even one more senator on it to covid, it'll be majority Dem.

She's running an ad that posits Mitch McConnell as the biggest obstacle to Trump getting his agenda passed. You would have to squint pretty hard not to see that as an endorsement of Trump.

This entire Supreme Court nomination thing feels like that gif of the football player spiking the ball in the end zone, but it bounces into his nuts and he falls into another player who immediately forcefully pushes him down even harder. But instead of the football player, it’s the entire Republican Party.

They still can, thats the rub. They have ~100 days to confirm the nominee but they tried to rush it in 30.

It'll look much worse confirming a SC nominee in the lame duck period, but by that point if they've lost the election they won't care about optics.

They can, but if they lose the senate in the election and then push her through, it gives the Democrats a LOT of cover to pack the court.

And I’d much rather PhDs be called Dr than by their first names or “Mr/Ms xxxxx” the way the US press always does. It’s a big contributor to the sidelining of academics and subject matter experts, not just in the hard sciences.

As long as they don't become assholes about it. I had an engineering professor once who ripped into a student because they said "Mr. Rivera" accidentally instead of "Dr. Rivera", and he went off on them about how he didn't spend X years getting his Ph.D. to be called "Mr.".

Crossposting again from the polls thread:

I can't find the list right now, but I do remember seeing earlier that Crapo, Sasse, and Hawley were in attendance alongside Lee and Tillis. Going by the pictures of the event, I assume none of them were wearing masks.

It is entirely possible that the GOP loses almost half of its Judiciary Committee members because of that superspreader event.
