To help Donald Trump get the full COVID-19 experience, let’s make sure he loses his job and is evicted from his home next month.

Yay for socialist medicine!
Like any African dictator when Trump needs medical care he leaves his people to the anarchic underfunded system he has left in place while he flies off to government supported treatment in a first world country.
You can really feel the disappointment in the pundit class that The Apprentice: White House Edition might not only be canceled next month, but that the star might not be around for the remainder of the last season. And what that will mean for the rest of the cast that we’ve all come to know and hate.
A wealthy prince throws a huge party in his gaudy mansion during an epidemic for his asymptomatic friends while the peasants die. Then the virus shows up and tears through his fancy guests. Familiar? It’s the exact plot of Edgar Allan Poe’s 1842 classic, “Masque of the Red Death”

re: #12 Broad With Sass
Yay! My 28th anniversary is in five days.
I have a question about the hospital President Trump is being treated in, Walter Reed? It’s a military hospital if I understand it correctly, usually treating service personnel and veterans. How many COVID-19 patients have they dealt with in the past six months? Do the medical staff there actually have much (or any) experience in treating patients, especially geriatric patients with this particular disease? Would President Trump be in better hands being treated in a mainline Washington DC hospital where they’ve had hundreds or even thousands of COVID-19 patients to gain experience on since the outbreak started.

Walter Reed is the designated treatment facility for the President of the United States. They are kept up-to-date on any information they need, and if they don’t know something or don’t have something, they can get it. For all we know, they may have retained a doctor from one of those hospitals to advise the President’s care team.

Number of new cases in Russia is back to where they were in May. I wonder if some oligarchs are tired of Putin and leaking data to undermine him. Russia was showing a steady decline until about a month ago and now the counts are rising steadily, doubling over that period. The oligarchs may be very unhappy if they are seeing widespread mishandling of the pandemic, which may personally affect them and their loved ones.

Oh, oh wow. CNN has noticed that the White House might not be credible.
There are several reasons I don’t want Cheeto to actually die.
The most important is that he should stand trial, with all the rottenness and treason of the GOP exposed in the process. In fact, since he is an opportunist rather than committed Republican ideologue, he might well turn on his accomplices in the GOP hierarchy and media, sending the whole gang to prison en masse.

Their president has proven he’s only their president, and the rest of us can die, they do not care what it costs them to do so. My hope is that there are undercover guys from the FBI in some of these groups at least. They are quite open about their hatred, it may be a bit easier to infiltrate and destroy these groups once they cross legal lines. Not holding my breath, just trying to be hopeful.

The thing is, he’ll never see the inside of a prison even if he is convicted. The logistic implications would be too much for any institution to be able to manage. Every second he would spend in a prison would be a potential riot, started either by people who want to take him out, or those who support him. Add in the fact that, by law, he is entitled to lifetime protection from Secret Service agents and things become even more problematic.
From a security standpoint, it’s just not a realistic proposition no matter how much he deserves it.
I want to see him convicted and humiliated, but realistically, the best we’re ever going to see for Trump is home confinement and (hopefully) massive fines that leave him destitute.

I am assuming he wouldn’t be put in general population at even a low security prison. There must be some prison with some space to set aside so that he wouldn’t actually be in contact with other prisoners, and so that Secret Service agents would not have to deal with anyone other than prison staff (presumably the ones assigned to that area would be carefully vetted.) He has put the Secret Service through enough; they don’t need any extra shit on his behalf.
I still think you are right - I won’t get to see him locked up. I think the stress of a criminal trial, knowing he is finally in a situation he can’t lie or weasel his way out of, would kill him well before the rendering of a verdict. I don’t think he could avoid a trial by plea bargaining - I don’t think he would let his lawyers concede any culpability on his part, and I really don’t see him enunciating his bad deeds either.

Even separating him wouldn’t be enough. Just his being in the facility would likely be enough to spark riots (or incidents from outside groups who would reject his conviction and want to free him).
About the only place I can think of that you could actually incarcerate him with any degree of safety would be Gitmo and I don’t think anyone has the stomach or the balls to put a former president there.

U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley will not be tested for the coronavirus, despite attending a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting with a fellow senator who later tested positive for the virus, the Iowa senator’s staff said Friday.
“Sen. Grassley’s doctors have not recommended he be tested as he has not come into close contact with anyone suspected of having or confirmed to have coronavirus,” Grassley’s spokesman, Michael Zona, said in a statement.
Grassley attended a meeting Thursday with U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, a Republican from Utah who later tested positive for the virus. Des Moines Register

The Supreme Court is About to Murder What’s Left of the Voting Rights Act
And it will be a day of jubilee for Chief Justice John Roberts. Charles Pierce
To distract you from the perils of President* Zero in the White House, the Supreme Court seems to be warming up to murder what’s left of the Voting Rights Act. The one tooth that this Court left in the mouth of the VRA was Section 2, the provision that said the VRA can be used to overturn state laws that have a disproportionate impact on minority voters. Agreeing to hear this Arizona case gives the Court a chance to extract that last remaining canine.
The President of the United States and his medical team have so little credibility in a moment of crisis that people are genuinely asking for video proof Trump is alive and awake. Like he’s Kim Jong-Un!

re: #82 2020 Blue Wisconsin
Even separating him wouldn’t be enough. Just his being in the facility would likely be enough to spark riots (or incidents from outside groups who would reject his conviction and want to free him).
About the only place I can think of that you could actually incarcerate him with any degree of safety would be Gitmo and I don’t think anyone has the stomach or the balls to put a former president there.
I honestly don’t think it would spark riots within the prison, as long as he remains completely segregated (see how YOU like it, you no-renting-to-Blacks bastard!)
As for any outside groups trying to assault the facility, just fucking shoot them. A small on-site facility-defense team, with the ability to very quickly summon backup, should be more than enough to repel Meal Team Six, Alfalfa Squad.
Given how actually tough those goobers seem to be, a troop of Girl Scouts with slingshots would probably do.

If Trump does croak, I have the feeling it’ll be a Herman Cain situation where his account will keep tweeting in spite of this, except with the WH doing everything they can to cover it up and pretend he’s still alive up until the facade inevitably crumbles.
Norman Spinrad wrote such a story: In “World War Last”, the Politburo had a problem. Their leader died, and there was no consensus on a successor. The body of the old leader wasn’t decomposed yet, so…
The story also featured a used-car dealer as president, “Uncle Sam” and an insane hash-head in the Middle East looking for nukes and weapon systems suspiciously similar to videogame hardware.
I considered Spinrad to be essential preparation for this time period.

re: #51 A Mom Anon
My concern, as I have said before, is that we’re looking at an OKC type bombing or a mass shooting like in Las Vegas, or a series of them. They want us dead, they’ve said it often. Their president has proven he’s only their president, and the rest of us can die, they do not care what it costs them to do so. My hope is that there are undercover guys from the FBI in some of these groups at least. They are quite open about their hatred, it may be a bit easier to infiltrate and destroy these groups once they cross legal lines. Not holding my breath, just trying to be hopeful.
I don’t think anyone can get that much fertilizer these days, and Vegas is open, kind of, but not allowing mass gatherings like that music festival. So they’d have to think up something else. Not their strong suit, although it can’t be dismissed entirely. Also, they don’t strike me as suicide bomber types — who could they whine to if they were dead?

McConnell: As part of Trump’s legacy and dying wishes, we must approve Barrett to the Supreme Court.
Reporter: But what about Ginsberg’s wishes?
McConnell: She should have wished to be replaced by a Republican.
re: #229 dangerman
The clip just posted shows he has lost weight, and obviously isn’t spray tanned.
Since he is seated we can’t tell if he can walk. He may have been wheel-chaired to the desk. Heck, he might not even have pants on.
Still, I have to repeat, the odds are that he will survive. Most men his age do.
But I bet when not on screen he has oxygen, and probably an IV (as hospitals like to do.)

The coronavirus is most deadly if you are older and male — new data reveal the risks
[…] For every 1,000 people in their mid-seventies or older who are infected, around 116 will die. These are the stark statistics obtained by some of the first detailed studies into the mortality risk for COVID-19.
Trends in coronavirus deaths by age have been clear since early in the pandemic. […]

re: #242 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.
That’s the antibody study in the UK. It shows how prevalent antibodies are in their population.
It does not have mortality figures, though.
The flood of intel @ProjectLincoln has received today is both remarkable and terrifying.
At the WH, the number of the infections and potential infections constitutes a national security crisis of the first order.

Signal is a secure communication app: signal.org

“DM me for email” would be the same except “I will give you an email address to send email to”.

“While most patients recover in about a week, a significant minority of patients enter “a very nasty second wave” of illness, said Dr. Ilan Schwartz, assistant professor of infectious disease at the University of Alberta. “After the initial symptoms, things plateau and maybe even improve a little bit, and then there is a secondary worsening.”
While every patient is different, doctors say that days five through 10 of the illness are often the most worrisome time for respiratory complications of Covid-19, particularly for older patients and those with underlying conditions like high blood pressure, obesity or diabetes. Younger patients who develop complications may begin struggling a little later, as late as days 10 to 12. Most people who reach day 14 without any worrying symptoms (other than feeling miserable and fatigued) are likely to be on the road to recovery.”
