The Internet is raging with conspiracy theories this weekend on how President Donald Trump may be faking his illness or using his Covid-19 treatment for some hidden dark purpose. MSNBC host Joy Reid drew criticism for passing along postings on how Trump may be lying about his illness to “get out of the debates.” On CNN, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer agreed with host Erin Burnett that even Vice President Pence may be lying in simply saying that morning that the President and First Lady were doing well while convalescing in the White House. Michael Moore warned the public that this all may be a massive lie orchestrated by Trump.
While correctly lambasting Qanon and other sites for misinforming and conspiracy theories, Trump critics often have a high tolerance for their own conspiracists, including leading journalists.
Consider the basis for the latest conspiracy theory. Trump would have to enlist the support of literally hundreds of people to hide the fact that he is really doing fine. Doctors, nurses, security, and other at Walter Reed would have to be part of this elaborate lie. And what is the purpose? The contraction of Covid-19 is an obvious embarrassment for the President who has been criticized for downplaying the virus and insisting that the country is turning the corner. In the meantime, Trump would have taken himself off the campaign trail at the critical time in the election.
The White House properly informed the public of the positive testing and has disclosed details on his treatment. It allows press to film him walking to the helicopter and entering Walter Reed.
Others have questioned whether he is truly taking the experimental “drug cocktail” or lying about his reaction to it. Again what is the basis and advantage of such lies?
If we are going to unleash more conspiracy theories, at least make them interesting. The real fear should not be an effort to avoid debate. Rather something far far more sinister could be revealed as Trump emerges from his experimental treatment. No, I am not speaking of viral immunity. I am speaking of super MAGA powers:
Now that is a conspiracy theory and it is just about as plausible as President Trump being treated not by hundreds of professionals, but co-conspirators.
This is a serious illness and the President is clearly a high-risk patient. However, the medical staff has moved quickly and aggressively. We would do well to take a brief break from our ragefest and simply wish the President a speedy recovery. Then everyone can return to this bloodsport as known as the American presidential election.
I heard Joe Bidens been hospitalized. He tested negative for covid, but positive for an extreme case of TDS.
Washington D.C. has the highest population density of any city in The United States (11,570 people per square mile). Considering this information, the entire city should be shut down immediately and any person not wearing a mask at all times (sleep excepted) should be immediatly hanged by the “Anonymous” council of the inquisitors. The percentage of deaths shall not be taken into account. The Nations business be damned.
Thinkthrough is wrong!
New York has the highest density by far. Manhattan has 70,000 people per square mile.
San Francisco and Boston are next, then Chicago, Philly and Washington are all pretty close.
Apologize to President Trump and the American people for supporting the Democrat/Russia collusion coup.
Yeah, Anonymous should definitely apologize for correcting Thinkitthrough about population density. It’s so unpatriotic.
Anonymous, It seems you lack basic knowledge.
Manhattan is not a city. It is a borough.
Allan, it seems you can’t be bothered to check the stats. Thinkitthrough is wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_population_density
You can throw a tantrum or try to deflect from the statement but Manhattan is not a city. Such silliness can only make another laugh.
People are messin’ with you, buddy. Stop taking the bait.
Right, but at least I know Manhattan isn’t a city no matter how hard you try to make it one. What foolishness.
Who did? Who would?
Let it go, Allan, old buddy.
The above from a person who thinks Manhattan is a city. lol
He can’t stop. It’s a compulsion. He’s not well.
+10 to :
“He [Allan] can’t stop. It’s a compulsion. He’s not well.”
spouting nonsense again Anonymous?
Those in straight jackets often accuse everyone else of not being well. How many times will you repeat the same stupid lines? Such nonsense.
You seem to be confusing me with the Anonymous who posted at 5:45 PM. We both said Thinkitthrough is wrong, but only the 5:45 Anon. said that Manhattan is a city, not me.
I am not confusing you at all. You are hiding because you are so embarrassed.
I’m not embarrassed about anything. I use this account because you’ve made it clear that it annoys you. If we were to follow your ignorant reasoning, we’d conclude that you’re not providing your last name because you’re embarrassed.
I know that Manhattan is only a borough, not a city. I also know that Thinkiitthrough was wrong. Do YOU know that Thinkiitthrough was wrong?
“I’m not embarrassed about anything. ”
Of course you are. That is one of the reasons you post under Anonymous and claim your alter ego thought Manhattan was a city rather than a borough. You blame your errors on your alter-ego Anonymous. You are afraid to let everyone know how frequently you post …even in the middle of the night so you constantly remind us there is more than one Anonymous. Go back to your mama’s basement
And for the record, I loved the movie Captain America. It’s a shame that Democrats have turned patriotism and a general pride in ones country into a slur. It’s not. The United States is my home, and Americans are my people. We may be a family in a food fight, with half not speaking to the other, at present, but we’re still family.
It’s a shame that you think Democrats have turned patriotism and a general pride in one’s country into a slur when they haven’t.
Listen to the rioting of the people you and democrats support. They openly state their hatred of America.
I swore an oath to the Constitution and served, d!ckhead. I love my country. Your hatred blinds you.
You wouldn’t know it by listening to you, but on your off chance that you did, thank you for your service. Being in the service should have taught you something but apparently what is taught is not always learned.
My guess without looking deeper is that you are Anonymous the Stupid.

More nonsense. Do you think Brooklyn is a city also? You are a hoot.
You are an ass.
No answer so we remain in the dark if Anonymous thinks Brooklyn is a city like he did Manhattan.

this family consists of many parts. on the Democrat side we have various bureaucratic types who get paid by government and always want it to grow so they and their patronage circles can prosper. then there is another part of the lumpenproletariat, the welfare mamas, the locked up criminals, the reserve army of unemployed, those not seeking employment, the teeming hordes of illegals and quasi legals, who form the justification for all those government jobs
that sector includes every single university employees, unless they secretly have their heads screwed on right, but as you can see from one who does, Turley, how much the rest abuse him day after day for it.
oh on that side there is also the Wall Street financiers who make fees off huge government debt and financial asset inflation. then there’s the Silicon Valley that provides todays version of lame amusements to the lazy slugs sitting on the couch all day
———————————————–
then there is the private sector worker who funds all them with his taxes. this goes from the guy shoveling manure on up to the executives of the companies that provide real industrial growth and goods to the nation.
we who do the private sector work better turn out election day and thereafter better get organized and feed them the boot or we are all gonna be cast in chains of one sort another by the first set of factions which are basically parasites on the rest of us. it’s time to rip these leeches off before they suck us dry
Oh, for God’s sake, use common sense. No, the President, VP, his staff, his physician, Walter Reed, and thousands of other people are not lying in a complicated conspiracy.
Masks don’t filter out a virus. If they did, the pore size would have to be so small you couldn’t breathe. A fabric mask is not an encapsulated laboratory respirator with dedicated airflow. What a mask does do is helps to contain your own moisture.
Their effect is limited, but if used properly, it’s better than nothing.
What is most effective is 6 feet of personal space. Outdoors is safer than in.
Democrat politicians, on average, have been more conscientious about wearing masks at events than Republican politicians. At least outside of airports and hair salons. Democrats can encourage BLM protest/riot crowds, Antifa, protests against filling RBG’s vacancy, and any other crowded event without criticism. However, as long as the politicians themselves wear a mask, it is viewed that they have done their best to avoid contagion. A series of Democrats in Congress, state, and local office have contracted Covid-19, without much comment. So have many members of the press.
Trump et al, however, have not worn a mask as consistently. So when Trump got Covid-19, it was declared he did not do his best. Many went further and said he deserved to get sick, and die in agony. Such is the party of “tolerance” and goodness today.
Not wearing a mask is bad optics. From a science perspective, it was actually more important that everyone around the President stay 6 feet away, and wear a mask when that is not possible. While the WH has imposed a distance rule for people outside of his circle, Trump does let people inside his circle meet with him without a mask. Those people are regularly tested. It is also indisputable that few wore masks at the Rose Garden meeting with nominee Barrett.
That reminds me. It has been leaked that Judge Barrett herself tested positive for Covid-19 over the summer, but has recovered. As per protocol, she is tested daily, and has been negative, including her most recent test. She is not the source.
It’s impossible for a world leader not to get within 6 feet of anyone outside immediate family for a year or more as this pandemic grinds on. They test regularly, so that infection is caught early and treated at the most opportune window. They do contact tracing. But wearing a mask is good optics, and if for no other reason, should have been worn in solidarity with the rest of us.
Oh, for God’s sake, use common sense.
😄 That ship sailed and then sank a long time ago. If they had any common sense, then after what has been proven regarding the Trump/Russia collusion fiasco, they wouldn’t believe a word coming out of their “trusted” news outlets or anyone in the Democratic party.
Do you know what strikes me?
Democrats never apologize. Time after time, they make a deadly serious allegation, it’s proven false, and then…nothing. They’ve already moved on to the next false allegation. They don’t apologize. Aren’t sorry. They don’t make a statement that they were absolutely and completely wrong, and look forward to moving on with a better working relationship, now that their concerns have been laid to rest.
Me as well. I wrote about this yesterday on another post. They do it because there is no negative consequences for it. Until the accusers finally admit the evidence proves allegation x and y and z, etc. were false, then they should not be allowed to move on to anything else. They will try to ignore it, but they should be forced to deal with it. We should do this on this blog.
“Democrats never apologize. ”
Those behind democrat leadership are revolutionaries.
Supposedly, Trump tweeted out about testing positive at 1:00 AM. Can Joe Biden stay up till 1:00 AM?
He can if he needs to. But it’s better for everyone’s health to get a full night’s sleep.
” But it’s better for everyone’s health to get a full night’s sleep.”
How do you know? It is better for most to get a full night’s sleep. You don’t have the slightest idea whether or not it benefits the group that doesn’t require a full night of sleep. You draw unfounded conclusions all the time and that makes what you say ignorant.
The reality TV host acts like a reality TV host. Trump staged a photoshoot to look healthy, supposedly showing him working but actually showing him signing blank sheets of paper, with a wardrobe change and set change 10 mins apart:
https://twitter.com/jonostrower/status/1312616578773446656
The WH sent a photographer to Walter Reed with Trump. Trump isn’t masked, even though he’s got COVID. He doesn’t care if he exposes the photographer.
Kim Jong Un would be proud.
“It’s Sunday morning, 210k Americans are dead, the president is in the hospital, the economy is in the toilet, you’ve been stuck in your homes for months, and so we thought the person we’d all like to hear from is a deadbeat crank Republican operative. Welcome, this is ABC News.”
The Republican operative, Jason Miller, was clearly exposed to many of his GOP colleagues who have tested positive, including several from the debate prep. He is inside the 14 day window. But there he is in an ABC studio, onsite and unmasked around their staff instead of quarantining at home.
Mark Meadows, the WH CoS, has been exposed but isn’t quarantining and talks to reporters without a mask on.
Sen. Ron Johnson was exposed separately, didn’t quarantine, took his last Covid test en route to an Oktoberfest party and also went to a fundraiser, then got his results back showing he tested positive, meanwhile exposing everyone at both the party and the fundraiser,
Hope Hicks tested positive and Trump knew that he’d been exposed, but he went off to a fundraiser anyway, and then he tested positive after exposing everyone at the fundraiser.
These idiot Republicans simply do not care if they expose others.
Nick Luna, Trump’s personal aide, tested positive yesterday, so that’s another person in Trump’s orbit infected this week.
That’s almost 2 dozen people in contact with Trump who’ve tested positive:
X* Mrs. Trump
X Kellyanne Conway
X Sen. Mike Lee
X Sen. Thom Tillis
X Father John Jenkins
X* Gov. Christie
* Hope Hicks
* 11 additional cases stemming from pre-debate planning and set-up, according to the city of Cleveland
^ Ronna McDaniel
^ Bill Stepien
^ Nick Luna
X = at Rose Garden ceremony for Barrett
* = at Cleveland debate or helping with debate prep
^ = others who’ve been in contact with Trump in the last week and have tested positive
Medical press conference with Trump’s doctors:
Conley confirms that Trump needed oxygen and had a high fever Friday morning at the WH, which contributed to the decision to move Trump to Walter Reed. Didn’t give a good answer about why he didn’t admit this when asked yesterday, only said that he wanted to be upbeat.
Trump has had two transient low oxygen episodes, and he’s being given a new medication, Dexamethasone.
Conley wouldn’t given specific answer to question about what Trump’s lung scans show.
Conley wouldn’t answer question about why Trump wasn’t wearing a mask when the photographer was with him.
Conley said if all goes well, Trump may return to WH tomorrow.
Start your day out watching CNN?
CNN, CNN everywhere and all the brains did shrink
CNN, CNN everywhere and not a brain to think
I watched on Fox. Didn’t you?
Everyone knows that lung congestion is a symptom of Covid. The doctor doesn’t mention it so it’s a full blown conspiracy. Give it a break!
Anonymous is a mindless hysteric.
Allan is a mindless hysteric.
Anonymous the Stupid is back with another one of his comments. Hysteria pollutes your mind. Get a brain transplant. Get a democrat brain. They are unused.
Allan the Stupid is back with another one of his comments. Hysteria pollutes your mind. Get a brain transplant. Get a Republican brain. They are unused.
That’s Anonymous the Stupid. if he tries to talk it goes something like this. ‘ Duh, uh, this mine duh uh what is dictionary? uh, Duh uh uh duh.’
An idiotic comment from one that forget’s Pelosi not wearing a mask at the hairdresser or Feinstein at the airport. Those people are hypocrites. You forget Pelosi encouraging people to get close in Chinatown and Biden saying the China Ban was foolish and xenophobic. You are repeating your own lies and cannot learn. What you believe are only those things that prove your have is valid even though the one’s you believe have lied over and over again
After all this time you do not understand the disease. You would close things so tight that you would die of starvation. That is why you are not fit to lead or even comment.
Trump has already tested positive and is at the hospital being treated.
Pelosi has not tested positive.
Feinstein has not tested positive.
You try to deflect to February and post ad hominem about me instead of dealing with the fact that Trump is infected and may have put his photographer at risk.
Trump is infected and may have put his photographer at risk, just like he put the people at his fundraiser at risk instead of quarantining after finding out that Hope Hick was infected and he’d been exposed.
Why do you think that a photographer was in the room with President Trump? Do you know what safety protocols are in place in Walter Reed? Don’t you think you should find out first before making an accusation? What is it with this trend to sling an accusation without bothering to find out if it is true? You guys never seem to get called on it. Any responsibility to make sure what you say is true just slides off.
Covid-19 patients do not mask while in their room. Patients without respiratory symptoms or other incapacity are asked to mask if they leave their room.
Over 100 Capitol workers and Capitol police have had Covid-19.
Here is a list of Congresspeople who have tested positive. It does not include all the staffers and other workers. 32 Democrat House of Representatives tested positive, out of 56 total. So more than half of cases in the House are Democrat.
https://www.npr.org/2020/04/15/833692377/how-the-coronavirus-has-affected-individual-members-of-congress
I said “may have,” Karen, which for any native speaker of English means that it’s a possibility, not a certainty. Photos are being taken by a photographer, and Trump isn’t masked in those photos. Contrary to your claim that “Covid-19 patients do not mask while in their room,” Conley was explicit that Trump does wear a mask when a doctor sees him:
REPORTER: Why is the president not wearing a mask in the videos and photos that have been released?
CONLEY: Well, the president wears a mask anytime he’s — he’s around us, and we’re all wearing our N95s, full PPE.
Anonymous:
For all I know, you “may have” murdered 6 people last night. But I don’t go around accusing you of murder.
Isolation rooms typically have glass windows. The reporter may have taken a photo through a glass window. It might be a screen capture from a video feed. Or he could have taken the photo from outside an open doorway.
I had a relative in a Covid-19 ward. He did not wear a mask in the ward, either.
Hospitals that require universal masking have patients wear a mask when they leave their room. Masks are not required for anyone with respiratory difficulty, or who is unconscious or incapacitated in any way.
Covid-19 patients experiencing respiratory symptoms do not wear masks, because a mask makes it harder to breathe. In fact, hospitals require patients to mask when they leave their rooms.
So there is no there, there, with Trump not wearing a mask while in the hospital.
However, that said, you know quite well that I disagreed with the President et al not masking when in meetings together during the pandemic, or not spacing 6 feet apart in the Rose Garden. Frankly, personal distance is far more effective than masking, and outdoors is better than indoors.
It is impossible for a world leader to isolate during a pandemic that will last more than a year. However, there were times when people could socially distance, meet remotely, or mask. And they didn’t.
Testing is an important tool, but it’s purpose is early detection. That way an infectious person can isolate early, regardless of if they have symptoms. It reduces spread. It also allows the earliest treatment window possible.
It cannot prevent someone from getting sick. It just tells them right away if they are.
“Trump has already tested positive and is at the hospital being treated. Pelosi has not tested positive. Feinstein has not tested positive.”
So? Your point is?
How many people became positive after gathering in Chinatown due to Pelosi’s urging? Did you forget that. How many people contracted Covid after participating in the rioting and looting. How many people did they infect that then infected others? You need to take courses in logic.
“Trump is infected and may have put his photographer at risk.”
That was the photographer’s risk to take or not to take. Was the photographer wearing a mask? How far from Trump was the photographer? What was the degree of ventilation in the room? What other precautions might the photographer have taken. How old was the photographer and what was his health status. You don’t mention any of these which makes you look ignorant.
Plenty of families have taken care of their loved ones at home and those loved ones have Covid. In summary, you are an ignorant hysteric apparently incapable of assessing risk.
Biden takes his mask off to talk to reporters. Pelosi not wearing a mask in a beauty parlor. Feinstein not wearing a mask in the airport. Out there in the orchard harvesting the cherries once again. Be careful, so much bending and twisting might hurt your back.
None of them has tested positive. Trump HAS tested positive. Are you too stupid to understand the difference, or only too much of a partisan shill to admit the difference?
No one at any given time can know if they are infected by the virus. The symptoms are not immediately recognized. Pelosi and Feinstein could have been carrying the virus and not know it. If all the people who have spread the virus would have known they had it they would have quarantined before the gave it to someone else. Covid is an equal opportunity virus, it is spread by both Democrats and Republicans.
Trump knows he’s infected. He’s in the hospital because he’s infected. His doctors are treating him because he’s infected.
I agree. He should have gazed into your crystal ball to know he would be infected before he knew he was infected. He asked to use your crystal ball, you refused his request because you are a shameless hoarder of the entry to the all seeing god of TDS.
” He’s in the hospital because he’s infected.”
So?
Your point?
My point was that “No one at any given time can know if they are infected by the virus” is Thinkitthrough’s delusion.
If one wants to be absolutely safe one has to assume everyone has Covid. The hysteria over Covid means that people sometimes do things that cause more of a risk than Covid.
This hysteria over Covid has caused the death rate from other causes to rise and might account for more years lost than Covid.
Anonymous:
His point is that Democrats have taken risks. It’s just luck that she didn’t get it in an airport or a hair salon. In fact, the only reason why there were no other customers at the hair salon is because it was illegal for that salon to be open. Pelosi broke the law to have it opened.
I will say, however, that Republican politicians absolutely wear masks at meetings and events less frequently than Democrats. That is absolutely a valid point. I think it is their duty to keep 6 feet apart whenever possible, and mask when in close proximity, so that if any of them get sick, they can at least say they did their best. Plus, it’s a show of solidarity with the rest of us.
Patients with Covid-19 do not wear a mask while in hospital. A mask makes it harder to breathe. He is in an empty room pre-renovated into a conference room in this eventuality. Typically, these rooms have a glass wall and speakers, so that cabinet members and staff do not need to enter with an infectious person. Nor would a photographer need to enter.
So, no. You do not need to wear a mask while sitting in a room by yourself. In fact, Covid-19 patients do not mask while in their room.
A room where a Covid-19 patient is staying is considered contaminated and infectious. They are coughing, sneezing, or having any number of symptoms. It is beyond what a simple surgical mask can contain.
Masks are for people who don’t know if they are infectious or not, and therefor not quarantined. President Trump is in medical isolation. Many hospitals have applied universal masking, in which all HCPs must mask. Incoming patients are required to mask while awaiting triage. Patients are required to don a mask when leaving their room. Any patient who has respiratory difficulty, is unconscious, or incapacitated, is not to wear a mask at any time. No child under 2 is to wear a mask. A study showed universal masking reduced HCW infection by 3%. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2768533
They are called surgical masks because surgeons wear them to prevent accidentally spitting inside the surgical field.
Do you see how quickly false accusations spread? It’s like coals from a brushfire that keep flaring up.
I had a relative spend some time in a Covid-19 ward. He remarked that he did not wear a mask in his room. It was only required if he were to leave the room. He was Covid-19-negative, but the idiots running the hospital put him in a Covid-19 ward while awaiting his test results, which took days. Meanwhile, he was allowed zero visitors. They then moved him to a Covid-19-negative ward, still no visitors, after exposing him to Covid-19.
So, yeah, there are still some really stupid logistical problems helping perpetuate infections in our country.
“He doesn’t care if he exposes the photographer.”
You are an absolute idiot devoid of all needed facts.
I do not beleive that Anonymous is just a person trying to have an honest back and forth coversation. His Democratic talking points are laid out to perfectly. It’s like he has them all on a note pad and he scrolls down to find the perfect prescribed answer. I replied to one of his posts and conceded a point that he was making. You should notice that he never concedes that any one else may have a valid point of argument. He must worry about being in trouble if he strays from the script. He could at least be a little more nuanced.
Thinkthrough is the same old troll with yet another name. He honestly thinks this blog is his.
“the same old troll with yet another name”
Says the troll with no name who cuts and pastes from DailyKos..
Who’s the puppet: Rhodes, Thinkitthrough or Anonymous @2:42 AM?
That is irrelevant to what I wrote.
You calling anyone a troll is incredibly hypocritical.
All you do is troll.
I didn’t call you a troll, bro.
There are a lot of people who post anonymously, not just one. If you read all of the anonymous comments, you’ll see that some are conservative and some are liberal.
Anonymous keeps trying to explain that there are multiple people posting as Anonymous. One of them known better as Anonymous the Stupid becomes worried when his postings exceed that of all others. That suggests that the one creating this post is Anonymous the Stupid but maybe not. Sometimes they posts twice so the second post can pat themselves on the back.
Why would anyone want to be linked to known Stupid people? I would think they would run and get a distinct alias and icon, but they don’t. Maybe it has something to do with a yellow stripe that goes down the back.
Being anonymous is just that. Anonymous. In fact everyone is basically anonymous in this blog. All have different aliases such as CTHD, fishwhigs, “Allan”, etc.
You complain too much about anonymity.
You are Stupid. If an Anonymous had a specific alias then one might better know what they are talking about and one wouldn’t end up wondering what comment counted for that Anonymous on the same thread. A specific identity doesn’t change their Anonymity which is the same for all, but not exactly perfect.
One thing that I think this Trump situation created was the perfect reason for Biden to hide back in his basement and just ride out the next 30 days almost sight unseen. This is his election to lose and if he opens his mouth, it could be the one swinging the election.
Biden hasn’t been hiding in his basement. He campaigned in MI yesterday.
Biden makes an appearance in MI and suddenly all the time spent in the basement disappears.
Ignorance prevails.
Ron P was talking about Biden ‘just riding out the next 30 days in his basement almost sight unseen’. You gotta interpret replies in context, bud.
“You gotta interpret replies in context, bud.”
Look ho n ey, it is in context. Past performance is a good predictor of future performance. Do you wish to let us in on how many hours Biden was interviewed or with the public over the past 24 hours? Check out his schedule today and tell us how many hours he has planned. You are sounding as foolish as ever.
Good god, no one reads words, they only insert their own words. I did not say he was not out campaigning!!!!! I said it was time for him to go back to the basement and not campaign. It is his to lose. Why would you send someone gaff prone and being accused of dementia out campaigning when he can go home, use the vrus as an excuse for not going out and let the next 30 days play out. He is ahead in most all states of any consequence.
You think it would be better for him to stay home. I think it would be better for him to campaign. The decision is up to Biden
What the professor says is true. My breakdown of liberal thinking goes like this; 33.33% think it’s a conspiracy, but there appears to be no consensus on the exact conspiracy theory , 33.33% wish the President well and hope for a speedy, uncomplicated recovery , and 33.34% hope he dies after a prolonged hospital stay that includes a ventilator and multi-organ failure.
Love me some , JT. Thanks for being a voice of reason.
President Trump released a video message from Walter Reed medical facility telling the nation he feels “much better.” …
How can we not love this man.
When President Donald Trump took office he said: “You Have Always Been Loyal to This Nation, Now You Finally Have a President Who is Loyal To You,” and every day our president has delivered on that statement. No president has stood in front of as much opposition, hate and animosity as our president. He has taken “all the slings and arrows” for us. Now it is our turn…
Now it is our responsibility to stand, defiantly if needed, and support a President who has waged a battle against multiple adversaries on our behalf. “Stand” means be visible. “Stand” means let your voice be heard. Make our voices be heard.
Now, more than ever, it is our job to stand.
The intelligence apparatus of our nation was weaponized against our candidate by those who controlled the levers of government. Now, with sanctimonious declarations they dismiss accountability.
Deliberate intent and prudence ensures we avoid failure. The course is thoughtful vigilance; it is a strategy devoid of emotion. The media can call us anything they want, it really doesn’t matter…. we’re far beyond the place where labels matter.
Foolishness and betrayal of our nation have served to reveal dangers within our present condition. Misplaced corrective action, regardless of intent, is neither safe nor wise. We know exactly who Donald Trump is, and we also know what he is not.
He is exactly what we need at this moment….

Most Americans, IMHO, wish him well.
I think that’s the first time I’ve seen him without his disgusting orange make-up. He looks better without it.
Who are you to determine how another person should look? Your use of the word “disgusting” along with your thoughts make you appear like a very shallow individual.
I’m sure you’d say the same to Trump when he called Stormy Daniels “horseface” and Adam Schiff “pencil-neck.”
Allan is limited…, to be kind. He can’t understand what you’re trying to say, though you’re correct.
You only say that because you are equally shallow. It was a Stupid comment to make so perhaps along with being shallow you are Anonymous the Stupid.
I’d say the same thing to Trump and he has gotten heat over such remarks. However, the shallow remark by Anonymous was unprovoked. Stormy Daniels broke an NDA and went after Trump. Schiff lied about Trump.
I guess my response explains to you why your remark can easily be considered disgusting and why many look at you as a very shallow person
If you think Trump has done nothing to provoke insults, you have a blind spot a mile wide.
What a Stupid comment. We all know Trump’s temperament but that seems to be the limit of your knowledge.
What Trump said and the way he said it demonstrates a great man. He has learned a bit more from this page in his life.
All I had to do was google “Democrats who have contracted the corona virus. Six from the House of Representatives. One Democratic Mayor and one Democratic Governor. There have been two Republican Senators and nine Republican House members. One would think that with the Democrats strict adherance to the religion of the mask that contraction of the Spirit of the virus would be much lower. I have derived this testament from the High Preist of the order of the Anonymous.
You haven’t even found all of the members of Congress who’ve tested positive. There are at least 5 Republican Senators:
Rand Paul

You’re missing governors like MO Gov. Parson (R) and former NJ Gov. Christie (R), and I bet you’re missing even more mayors.
My google question was: How many high ranking Democrats have contraced the corona virus. Google refered me to Politifact. Politifacts report was from yesterday. You pointed out that there may have been an additional three Republicans who have contracted the virus. This may be true as the number may have changed since yesterday. However, you conveniently failed to inform us of your research to find out how many additional Democrats have contracted the covid virus. I have named my source and I’m waiting for your source. Cherry picking talent is respected only in an orchard.
A Google search on How many high ranking Democrats have contraced the corona virus.says ‘About 915,000 results’ so Google didn’t refer you to Politifact. You were just too lazy to look at more. Why would you think that ‘high ranking’ people tells you anything useful anyway? Did you fail statistics?
Anonymous, how many of the people on that list who “tested positive” got sick or died?
It’s a worthless sample. Did you fail statistics too?
It’s not a totally worthless number. It depends what one is looking at. It can demonstrate other things. For instance if go to a school and ask how many school children have died from Covid the number at first is anecdotal but becomes statistical after awhile.
Democrats cannot mix statistics with politics because they believe their ideology trumps statistics.
A sample isn’t a number. It’s a worthless sample for Thinkitthrough’s question about whether Democrats have fewer cases of Covid than Republicans due to mask wearing. If Thinkitthrough only cares about Democratic and Republican politicians and not about Democrats and Republicans generally, he still needs to do a better job identifying all of the politicians who’ve tested positive.
Allan lies about Democrats instead of focusing on the bad sampling.
I am not discussing thinkitthrough. I am discussing what makes you say I lie when I don’t. Based on the number of responses I can only guess you said that due to unmitigated Stupidity. That is more in the province of Anonymous the Stupid.
“Democrats cannot mix statistics with politics because they believe their ideology trumps statistics” is a lie. Do you lie because of unmitigated Stupidity or only because you’re a wanker?
That means you aren’t well read and haven’t been able to interpret what the democrats have said on multiple issues. Democrats are notorious hypocrites and are known for not being consistent in word or deed.
There are millions of Democrats in the U.S. You’ve got another sampling problem. Learn more statistics.
You don’t know any more about a sampling problem than you did about masks or Manhattan. Answers to specific questions over time tell you that democrats are hypocrites. Look at what they said before about the Travel Ban and look at what they say now. You are even a bigger hypocrite but you are irrelevant.
Joe Biden supports Louis Farrakhan.
Louis Farrakhan supports Joe Biden.
Jeezy the rapper endorses Joe Biden.
Jeezy said that Louis Farrakhan is Jeezy’s “mentor.”
Oh My!!!
A meeting of the minds!

George Floyd is dead. George Floyd is dead. Let’s end policing at the urging of BLM and Antifa. Aside from the direct deaths due to these two groups we have an additional 710 Murders and 2,800 gunshot victims over 2 months. However, we will hear a different story from CTDHD, PaintChips, Anonymous, Anonymous the Stupid and various others democrat lefties. George Floyd is dead. The hypocrisy and Stupidity of some is unbelievable.

Cuts in policing has ‘led to 710 murders and more than 2,800 gunshot victims’ across the US
Major cities across the United States are seeing a ‘dramatic and widespread spikes in homicides’ after police funding cuts, according to one expert.
Paul Cassell, a professor at S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah has dubbed the rise in crime the ‘Minneapolis effect’.
The city council in Minneapolis voted to dismantle the police and slash its budget after the May 25 death of black man George Floyd while in custody.
Cassell estimates that ‘as a result of de-policing during June and July 2020, approximately 710 additional victims were murdered and more than 2,800 victims were shot’.

Jonathan: It’s doubtful Trump is faking his illness. Behind in the polls he needs to be out there campaigning vigorously. It’s counter intuitive that Trump, who has prided himself on being impervious to the cornoavirus, would now say he is also a victim,…especially since he has been promoting so many quack cures and apparently has been taking some of them. As you say Trump is a “high-risk patient” patient” because he’s old, obese, has high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure. If there’s anyone who should be wearing a face mask it’s Trump! Go figure. But Trump ignored the advice of Dr. Fauci and other medical experts who have said wearing a mask is the single most important prophylactic against the virus. Now, not only has Trump become infected but so have many around him–his wife, White House staff, campaign advisors, Republican members of the Senate and other supporters. They are dropping like flies. Like lemmings they have blindly followed their leader and are now paying the price.
When it comes to conspiracy theories Trump is the master in promoting them, not his opponents. It started when Trump promoted the false theory that Obama was not born in the U.S. It has continued ever since. He still falsely claims Covid-19 was hatched in a Chinese bio-lab in Wuhan Even you have pushed this false theory. The ultimate promoter of conspiracy theories is QAnon that Trump has promoted. QAnon says Covid-19 is a hoax designed to deflect attention from a Satan-worshipping pedophile ring operated by Hillary Clinton and liberal elites. 24 candidates running for office next month have endorsed or promoted QAnon. Twenty two of them are Republicans. One of these is Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. She is a racist and has repeatedly boosted QAnon conspiracy theories. Trump calls Greene a “future Republican star”.
Your entire post is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Hopefully, we will soon have a vaccine to fight the coronavirus. But there is no vaccine for the stupidity of Trump and his Republican allies.
Q-Anon is a classic PsyOp, and you’ve fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.
I have no doubt that you also fell for the Russian collusion/conspiracy Snipe hunt hook, line, and sinker.
You are living proof that “there is no vaccine for the stupidity”.
The psychopathic war criminal named Hillary, lost. But you are incapable of getting over that fact, due to the fact that you’re a spoiled brat.

“Three photographs I saw this week say much about who we are and what we have become in the Trump years. The first photo was of an exhausted nurse, eyes red, mask marks on her face leaning against a colleague after another long and dangerous shift in the Covid wing of her hospital. The second was of a widow staring with dead eyes as her husband, a young victim of Covid was buried. The third was the photo of the Trump family-sons, daughters, husbands, wives and girlfriends staring at the debate stage in Cleveland with eyes filled with the insouciance of the privileged- maskless in a room where masks were required. I don’t want Trump or anyone to suffer from this illness. I just do not ever want to see more photos of those nurses and widows. As to the Trump family, perhaps after November 3 we can begin to blot them from our collective consciousness and begin to restore some of what we have all lost.”
Anonymous, your hysteria about the virus demonstrates that you don’t understand it and have less understanding of how to deal with it.
Though I haven’t run the numbers, I believe the number of life years lost by drug overdoses far exceeds the number of life years lost by Covid. You might even find the number of life years lost through murder alone exceeds that of Covid.
As a knee-jerk response Diaper Man typically accuses the other commentor.of having ‘no understanding’ of the issue. But never has Diaper Man displayed any grasp of the issues. More often than not his sources are obscure or unknown.
The name Diaper Man reminds me of the diaper-clad Toddler in Chief ballon. It’s a good name for Allan. He and Trump both like to disparage others, both like to puff themselves up, both lie, both attack their opponents for things that they pretend their opponents think or do, both act like toddlers.
Anonymous the Stupid, though the video has some cuteness it doesn’t make you appear any smarter than PaintChips used diapers. I carefully pick who I choose to disparage. First, they have to be nasty and small people. Second they have to be Stupid. You fit both criteria and more. Stop whining.
Good advice. Allan should take it:

PaintChips, I have provided documentation of many items and some of that documentation was raw data. That you don’t understand raw data and you need it predigested and forced down your throat by your mother is your problem. You are near illiterate even though you seem to be able to read. You are a giant waste of time.
Yes, Allan, you are a giant waste of time.
I probably am to you. I don’t think anything can get through that concrete wall in your head.
There clearly isn’t anything that can get through that concrete wall in Allan’s head.
Anonymous the Stupid, you keep repeating my words and it makes you look Stupid. That is fine and good for it accurately portrays you. However, it also makes all the others that call themselves Anonymous look Stupid as well. Keep up the good work.
Good advice. Allan should take it:

I do. Somewhere in life you were provided insufficient tools to understand the world around you. You are trying in your bumbling fashion and here I am working hard to get a foolish person up to speed. You should be grateful but your type never are. That is why you have had to survive for so long in the world of Stupidity.
Allan gets some good advice, but chooses to double down.
Allan gave the advice and you thought it was good advice. The problem is that you are so superficial you only see the top layer. In other words you double down on your Stupidity.
Allan says: “here I am working hard”
lol
Allan is “working hard” by posting comments to a blog.
He thinks he’s deserving of gratitude, and he’s now referring to himself in the third person.
rotflmao
“here I am working hard”
Anonymous, let us first pop your bubble and get the record straight with the entire quote:
“I do. Somewhere in life you were provided insufficient tools to understand the world around you. You are trying in your bumbling fashion and here I am working hard to get a foolish person up to speed. You should be grateful but your type never are. That is why you have had to survive for so long in the world of Stupidity.
While you are rolling on the floor laughing another day has passed where you haven’t learned a thing. Keep playing the part of the fool.
Allan and illeism: “Allan gave the advice and you thought it was good advice.”
Estovir offered the advice to Allan and, yes, Estovir’s advice was good, IMHO.
But there’s a saying about advice: The wise don’t need it, and fools won’t heed it. Given that Allan has been plastering the blog with his typical responses, today, it’s clear that he’s in the latter category — that of “fools.”
Carry on, blow boy. You’re a real piece of work.
Estovir’s advice, in a broad sense, would have better taken by Anonymous when Anonymous was young. By not taking that advice we see the result, a foolish person who never amounted to anything. It is now too late for her. This type of activity has been her sole intellectual pursuit.
So Maureen Dowd says the President contracting the virus must be a sign from God. Attribution to God when conveniently necessary. One should be careful when putting words in the mouth of God. He may find it more than distasteful.
Did Biden use his positions as Senator and VP to benefit his family financially?
Very likely 39%
Somewhat likely 18%
Not very likely 14%
Not at all likely 14%
Unsure 15%

Take note how the information released was “belatedly released” The US Ambassador testified at the impeachment hearings knowing this information and a lot of other information wasn’t released. She made are to keep it hidden
Just before Obama left office, U.S. officials feared Hunter Biden firm in Ukraine paid second bribe
Fresh corruption allegation about Burisma Holdings was flagged to the top of State Department in December 2016, memos show.
Twenty-two days before President Obama left office, the U.S. ambassador to Kiev wrote top officials in Washington that she feared Burisma Holdings had made a second bribe to Ukrainian officials — shortly before a corruption probe against Hunter Biden’s natural gas employer was abruptly closed before Donald Trump took office.
The concerns are detailed in new memos belatedly released to Just the News under a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the State Department.

The presidential election was never intended to be a “bloodsport” over legalized illegal immigration, “fundamentally transforming,” affirmative action, benefits, entitlements, various and sundry “free stuff” and baby killing. Never was the government designed to be so intrusive, dictatorial or tyrannical in relation to free American people.
Election day is, by law, only ONE DAY, “…the Tuesday next after the first Monday in the month of November.”
Never were the “poor” and the “common” intended to vote.
American governance was established as a severely limited and restricted-vote republic.
