DynamicSloth posted: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. Dude, its America. There will be more 'HE WUZ KILLED BY HILLARY/CHINESE/ILLUMINATI/IRAN/REVERSE VAMPIRES' than converts. gently caress, we have already seen people where one of their relatives died to Covid, and they still think it was a hoax.

dr_rat posted: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. Yeah I got the rona back in like... April? May? And had about as minor a case as you can get while still being symptomatic - some coughing, bit of a fever - and it still wiped me the gently caress out for like two weeks where I had zero energy at all. And now I still have an occasional cough that flares up now and again. Now, I'm a goon, so obviously I'm not in the best of physical condition, but I'm also in better shape than the President. Not that I'm saying it's certain to kill him, but from what we do know so far he's well past the point where he'll bounce back at full strength by mid-October.

Question. How are House and Senate proceedings being held in the States during the pandemic? In Canada we've only recently gone back to sittings and even then the majority of MPs are working from home and participating via ZOOM conferences. We've even had House of Commons votes taking place with this setup. Has the USA been using a dual system to allow Congress and the Senate to operate from home or have you had full in-house sittings for voting matters?

So I’m sitting here thinking about pence the dominionist becoming president when trumo dies in the next week and trying to calm my wife because a lot of his damage would come via executive order and can be undone almost immediately. However he also might try to drum up support to blame China. And also might want to get the military involved. I know congress has to formally declare war but that hasn’t stopped unilateral action from executive since 9/11. This actually has me kinda worried and I don’t know how much hesitation a dominionist End of Times dude would have to use nukes. Zophar posted:Mike Pence is not firing nukes at anything between now and January 20th 2021. I don’t seriously think he will either however there’s a chance he uses conflict with China to gently caress with the election and transition of power. Not putting their desperation for fulfilled prophecy past anything. Fallom posted:Just out of curiosity how successful do you think the Republicans have been at driving support for war with China over the coronavirus and what do you think Pence would do to push it over the edge? Not much and not much however I think that math changes when trump dies. Most notably both pence and pomeo have already pushed this line and both are dominionist End Times crazies. skylined! fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Oct 3, 2020 |

Data Graham posted:So uh what he was hired to deal with Donny's boneitis Osteopaths started off as bullshit doctors and are now basically the same thing as a regular non bullshit doctor with a class in one semester in bullshit. They are not automatically a red flag because the modern degrees are equivalent to MDs and let you get licensed as a real doctor but. Still. It doesn’t actually mean you’re a bone doctor. That’s an orthopedic doctor.

I will step in and note that in the US, osteopaths are 'basically a doctor'. They do legitimate doctor things, the name is protected, you can't just do a two-year degree or anything. Outside of the US, osteopaths are (often) bullshit peddlers on the same level as a chiropractor. Just a note. e: ^^  same idea.

There is zero chance of getting into a military conflict with China at present. There's a possibility for a bunch of silly economic bullshit that helps nobody, but nobody is stupid enough for war, there's no strategic value in it.

Mike Pence would not start a war or really do much of anything. He wouldn't have time or the political clout. He'd just sign bills. The military might be partially apolitical but if a president marched into the situation room and demanded a military fight with China for no real reason, I imagine no sane general would follow through with the orders. We gain nothing and lose everything even if we win militarily. Going to war with another industrial nation requires years of planning, preparation, and propaganda.

You say that but then if someone walks past his favorite horse and gives it a bit of the old seductive eyes, you better believe Pence is nuking their house. He'll salt the earth after too, don't think he won't do it.

I wouldn't go by a single unsourced tweet as to what capabilities the Democrats have, and there may be other factors not being mentioned or considered that are quite reasonable such that it isn't a matter of lacking spine (especially since Schumer and Dems do by all accounts seem to be taking this nomination seriously as an illegitimate affront to the values they hold dear).
