    “I wear a mask when needed… I don’t wear masks like him. Every time you see him, he’s got a mask. He could be speaking 200 feet away and he shows up with the biggest mask I’ve ever seen.”

    People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

      I have CNN on in the background here, they rousted all their top guys out of bed for it. They are playing it pretty straight, some mild tut-tutting at the ignoring of guidelines.

        This has got to be Fake News, who the fuck is going to believe Melania picked it up off him... maybe she's having it off with Hope

          Its immaterial what his base thinks. They are his base . It's the rest we only ever have to consider . The type who just didnt like Hillary. They are more or less in Bidens court now .

            I always thought (young, attractive) Hope Hicks description as a 'very close advisor to the President' was a euphemism for sure

              I would like to see him ousted as much as anyone here but I'd certainly be laying Biden at anything close to 1.1

              The price he survives is what 1/20? Combine that with the ambiguity around how his death could impact voting. I don't think this will do him much damage in polling assuming he survives.

              TBH, I actually just hope you're right that Biden opens around 1.1

                Chance too that Trump shrugs it off and comes back as the safer COVID-immune candidate

                  I'm sure he will survive, but how the hell can anyone think he might gain votes?

                      Not to be pedantic but I didnt say nor do I think he gains votes.

                      What I think is that if Biden opens back up at 1.1 that it is an over-correction

                        Might have already been talked about in the thread but The Social Dilemma is worth a watch. You know a lot of it already but it does a good job of putting lots of ideas together in one place around social media and the internet in general. One thing I didn't expect which is cleverly done is the sense after watching it that you should feel quite stupid for the amount of screen time you give these companies.

                                In a fit of DIY enthusiasm, the Mrs ordered a new toilet seat that has a child inner ring or something for our bathroom. In another swell of energy, he took off and threw out the old toilet seat.
                                The new one doesn't arrive until Tuesday .

                                  Can we make a market on what we think it's opening at?
                                  Raoul at 1.1?

                                        Jesus. Biden campaign literally has to do nothing except play tapes of Trump belittling mask-wearing on loop.

                                          Trump was probably licking COVID ICU patients before the debate and his "interruptions" were just his attempt at projecting spittle towards Biden.

                                                            Got to ay that having watched Brendan Gleeson Trump last night now is only adding to the occasion.

                                                            May as well enjoy it while it lasts this knut will rise again and its going to be like a series finale of Stranger Things. Also I'm assigning a c.10% probability to this being a tactic.

                                                                                            On a side note I watched The Comey Rule the other day and it was so so but I started watching Alex Gibneys new two part documentary last night and found part 1 really good.

                                                                                                                  As here a lot of who knows but basically outcome is:
                                                                                                                  1. Trump gets moderately or very sick and this does prompt Republicans to think, “Oh geez, this actually is serious and if it could happen to Trump it could happen to me”;
                                                                                                                  2. Trump remains mostly asymptomatic and it bolsters the idea that this is actually not such a big deal.

                                                                                                                    Who in their right mind would take the latter? The former is a fucking steal though.

                                                                                                                    Biden tested negative too so fistpump there. This is like the perfect negative storm.of shit for Trump this last week. Guess he was never going to go out quietly.
                                                                                                                    I'd be holding on for his next test after the weekend.
