Thread having a normal one, Donny doesn't tweet in 12 hours so obviously he's at death's door.

Seriously. He called in to that fox news show he likes and was talking to the host about taking a test and quarantining with his wife like five hours before the announcement that he had it. As much as I wish things were otherwise, the most likely outcome is that he recovers just fine.

We in the UKMT went through this whole thing with Boris, remember. He really looked dead for a while there, and then sadly he recovered enough to return to loving up everything. Of course, he is supposedly hosed now which is nice.

So, let's all root for death here, and have a good time

What are Boris' persisting symptoms? Physical pain with movement or just all day no matter what, I hope.

Apparently the administration has already been talking about how they expect Donald to be walking to Marine One on his own, so you're not the only one thinking about that.

Half the time he can't normally walk on his own anyway. Maybe they'll greenscreen something with CG.

Ehh...seems like empty sensationalism. Maybe doctors recommend those interventions on that timeline, but I can see our big wet president demanding a private suite at the hospital and loads of drugs regardless of his circumstances. Plus lots of people around him probably want to try their best to keep him alive for whatever reason, so maybe they overreact.

I hear they’re often unhappy and destructive because they’re so much closer to wild cats than regular domestic cats and have really strong drives to stalk and attack. Wildlife rescues often taking in at least a few, and they apparently really like having that kind of life.

The idea that someone could only celebrate the death of a guy like Trump, and not any of the people who fought tirelessly to murder literally a million people in the middle east for no reason at all is absolutely bizarre to me.

Al the white republican men also probably said that kind of stuff or worse to their buddies so they weren’t really offended in any way

The real tipping point was the tepid response to the tape. A few republicans condemned trump but the rest said nothing, and once they realized that none of the other ones cared, it was business as usual.

There was a lot of that in 2017-2018, where trump people reached a point where they pretty much said outright that they were tired of pretending to care about what he says and does. I remember a lot of cletus safaris from the nyt and the other usual suspects around the time the concentration camps started, where white people started saying poo poo like “we’re tired of you pretending to be outraged at the idea of concentration camps because we all know you’re doing it so we’ll have to say we feel bad. I’m not doing that any more.” That was pretty much when his approval rating locked in at the 35-40 it’s been for the last two years.

What would have happened to him if he hadn't been born rich? He seems to have a bad case that severely inhibits his ability to get along with other people. Or is it something that gets worse as cognitive faculties decline and maybe he had more self awareness or executive function in the 80s?

He's exactly the kind of moron who could be easily radicalized by the algorithm. There was a story on NPR this morning about undecided voters, and I had forgotten how stupid and utterly disconnected from reality or the capacity for reason they are. The logic of their decision-making process was utterly incomprehensible to me until I realized that there is no logic to their decision-making.
