Like just read the US constitution. It clearly states, If one of more of the presidential candidates die during an election, each party peak a representative to spend a night in the haunted mansion and who ever is still there at the end of the night wins the inheritance. Look this isn't that hard people.

The Dark Project posted:I need to go to bed, but I am so stuck wanting to stay up to see how this keeps unfolding. If I go to sleep and Trump dies, I am going to be pretty mad, so make sure you keep him pumped full of those wonderful life magic drugs that some people seem to believe in. The chance that there's going to be a development bigger than "another republican caught it" in the next 24 hours or so is pretty small, you want to be in a state to appreciate it when it does happen. Seph posted:But it is a fair point that others have brought up though, even if he survives he could still be incapacitated for weeks/months. I just think it's a bit early to start dancing on his grave. But yeah, do not get overly invested in him actually dying, that is still not a very likely outcome overall.

FlamingLiberal posted:This is good and all, but we know that Dems have said they are way more likely to vote by mail than the GOP is. GOP voters tend to vote on election day. In the past, that hasn't been true, which you can see from the 2016 numbers they provided in those very tweets. Vote-by-mail turnout used to have a significant chunk of ancient conservative assholes. But, now, who knows? It's a promising sign that should be tempered with "past trends are useless in the face of 2020's all-consuming chaos."

Deptfordx posted:Even if he doesn't die, there's no way he's going to be healthy enough to get back out on the campaign trail before the election. Boris Johnson was in hospital for a week, he was out of action for a month, and even then he was looking exhausted. There’s no way Trump will be back out campaigning. With the slim possibility that he’s well enough, and able to, he’ll have the fear of dying etched in his brain.

The biggest upside of him dying is that it would make millions of Americans take Covid seriously who otherwise would not, literally nothing else will reach those people and they will absolutely revert to form if he pops back on TV recovered talking about how it was no big deal.

One sad conversation is that we have definitely passed the window in which any stimulus would get to anyone before the election. There are too many physical, material, structural and legal impediments to doing it in <4 weeks. This probably makes Republicans less likely to actually support more stimulus checks or other grants/loans.

Crackbone posted:Chances of him surviving for a couple of years after he leaves office seem vanishingly small. He would have died almost immediately after leaving office. Narcissists like that need an ever increasing high and there’s no way he can replicate being loving president. Also this campaign is now dead so relax and take solace that we won’t have pissbaby tweeting at his followers to do a voter intimidation

Relatively healthy friend of mine was in the hospital for a week with it back in April. He lost like 30 pounds, took him weeks to get back to moving around somewhat normally, and strenuous activity (I'm talking about walking up a hill) knocks the breath out of him. This disease absolutely devastates you.

I think the real play here is to see if senator grassley (87 years old) is willing to risk his own life for this. Edit whoops grassley isn’t the head of judiciary anymore but they don’t need to pull many more republicans to stop the process.

Someone, either in this thread or one of the others discussing this made a mention about checking Olympus to see if the Greek gods were back. This is really like the end of a Greek Tragedy where the protagonist gets hoisted on his own petard but instead of one protagonist it's the whole senior republican leadership. Edit: evilweasel posted:they absolutely cannot gently caress the process up more by not boycotting, if by boycotting they can deny a quorum. they can always show up when republicans assemble one I'm picturing one junior R and one junior D sitting in a committee chamber. The R gets up and calls the meeting to order. The D calls for a role call. They sit there for 20 minutes at the clerk calls the roll and waits for people who aren't there to answer. Finally, it completes, they enter a motion to resume tomorrow due to the lack of a quorum. "See, ya tomorrow Todd?", "See ya tomorrow Bill" And they both walk out of the room.

This disease absolutely devastates you. Even if Trump ends up having what amounts to mild flu symptoms, which is at the moment is what has been -officially I guess? god the information released has been such a god drat mess- confirmed that he has, that alone usually has a hell of recovery time, let alone factoring in his age and general lifestyle. Add in the stress of the fact his campaign is totally off the rails. Even if everything goes 100% in his favor, he's still going to be very much trying to recover by the time of the election.

skylined! posted:Ya his campaign is over. His campaign manager has covid, his digital manager is in jail, he is about to die. It’s all over. The trump era is loving dead. It looks like the few big worries coming up is what the armed chuds are going to do. Trump left them with "Stand back, stand by", so some of them are probably going to try to go out in a blaze of glory. There's also the power vacuum created by the US not having a "working" leader in place, so China and Russia might take this as a queue to make their next big moves. Plus, who knows how the stock investment cult will take this news. Will this be the straw that breaks the economy's back?

sexpig by night posted:wait what?! Why is he the point man for this??? He was hand picked by former WH doc Ronny "Candy Man" Jackson. Remember that Ronny Jackson was the guy who released a letter saying Trump was in perfect health and could probably live to 200 based on his superhuman genetics. I hate to break it to you, but Donald Trump does not, in fact, hire the best people. There aren't many physicians out there who are willing to take the high-profile position of doctor to the President and also willing to make official public statements that Donnie is not in fact obese, he is very handsome, and his blood is made from distilled patriotism.
