I'm sure he'll be fine but I've noticed that people are getting much more lax when it comes to social distancing/wearing masks (including me).  Hopefully, this is a wake up call.


Yes, stay safe.  You’re the only sane liberal here and you’ll probably vote for trump.

What about in the event that the president has the rotovirus? Can a president really have the nuclear codes while he has violent diarrhea ?

 
Someone get a constitutional scholar on it !

I agree. I have been strongly against how he has handled the pandemic from the beginning, causing me to be accused of being a crazy liberal on this message board. (I was accused of being a Nazi earlier, today, so it balances out)

 

Seriously, 6 feet distance for a normal conversation may make things safer. But, when you yell at some guy for 90 minutes, the droplets tend to fly. Hell, Chris Wallace probably has it, too.

You're a flipping idiot, aren't you.

Yes, yes you are.

Good god, I'm done with this place.  Idiots are as idiots do.  I thought I had most of them on ignore, but they come out of the woodwork.  I just can't, I'm done.

So if you’re one of his supporters who believe the virus is fake, I wonder how you react to this news?

E, I am a never Trumper, and like 99% of all people, do not believe the virus is fake , but that the reaction and lockdowns  to it is overblown. My reaction is the exact same as when the VA Gov announced last Friday he and his wife were positive. This is an highly infectious virus that no matter what side politically you are on, what precautions you take, unless you you want to 100% isolate from the world, you have a chance of contracting the virus. And even then, you may still test positive.

What i am certain of testing positive does not mean Northam did anything wrong, or immoral, or selfish( one of first states to mandate masks BTW) , and same goes for Trump. 

 

Neither of these men should be castigated for a positive test for a HIGHLY INFECTIOUS virus. I will castigate Trump for a myriad of reasons, but not this.

 

 

As an side, this is most likely my last post at TBD. A certain mod has decided that any and all of my posts deserve warning points, and as it seems her power is all encompassing, i have decided best for me to not support this site any more. I know, crushing right?

 

I have been friends with E on this board since 2004, so much so even texted him the other day laughing about our early discussions on HD and the type of DVTs etc Directv had way back when. Yes, HD was a topic , one might say "novel" , when i joined this board. 

 

But my libertarian bent  and love of this country is just to deep  to put up with strong armed censorship of ideas and views, particularly when it is censorship based strictly  a mods point of view. Dictatorship is good when you the dictator. 

 

Thank you @SDS for the providing the forum, it was a fun 17 years. Wish you all the best!

Enjoyed it yall, 

 

And for all those that make  the tailgates great, and no longer post here...you bastages are not done with me, i have all you numbers!

No.  I won't for numerous reasons. 

 

What you'll pry see in the next few days are there will be a few idiots on the left who celebrate it.  Then there's people on the right who will express faux outrage over those idiots celebrating it and generalize it to everybody on the left.

Good luck to them both. Tough timing for him being on campaign but I’m sure he will be ok though he’s in a couple higher risk categories with age and obesity. 


My 70 year old not obese uncle is just getting over it. No issues. Hopefully same for them. 

 

Biden’s test results will be interesting, as will other White House results.

This is obviously news, but it occurred to me that outside of this, it’s like the “news” media reports on when everyone test positive, but not when the at least 99.74% of those people recover and move on with their lives. Weird huh?

This is a very well written post, and personally I am sorry to see you go.  Quite some time ago I got a warning point for an admittedly dopey post to another poster.  It wasn’t mean-spirited from my perspective and when I inquired as to why I received it, the mod answered me quickly, I reached out to the poster I referred to and apologized.  He indicated he wasn’t offended and didn’t even notice the post.  No big deal from point given, mod or other poster—but it’s always fascinated me when I read posts on the main board and wonder if points are given out like candy at Halloween. 
 

I think you contribute a lot to the board and am sorry to see you go.  Having read many of your posts, I’m not sure what lands you in the sin bin, you’ve always been respectful and seem like a very decent guy.

So if Trump doesn’t get better, does Pence become the nominee automatically? 

 

Substitute "dies" for "doesn't get better" and the answer (to the best of my knowledge) is yes.  Replacing Trump on the ballots is the tricky part.  That's a state by state issue.  I'm sure we'll see a story about it in the next day or two.  But we're close to the point where it's too late to replace him.  Early voting, absentee voting, and printing logistics make the deadline to replace earlier than one might think.

Oh, i know he has been careless. But the fact that he broke the story, with a mostly coherent tweet, just doesn't seem to add up.  But, like I said... his biggest contribution to the world is that any conspiracy theory is plausible. His poll numbers are tanking, and the first debate did not help him...

 

I hate to say it but I wondered about this, too.  Fake diagnosis so he can "recover" and try to link it to his point that the virus is a hoax, etc.  It's a byproduct of having a hopeless liar in the Oval Office, and yet another reflection of how that office has been disgraced in the past 3.5 years. 

 

I have no intention of praying for this guy, but I don't wish him ill, and I especially don't want his minor child to become sick. So, said simply, "it is what it is."

Look, I had cancer last year... so far clean went back to work and contracted the virus... because I work in a Hospital just outside on NYC... so I am not surprised he contracted the virus given his anti-mask wearing agenda and am surprised it took this long for one of his staff to give it to him.   Shows you how much distance he has been given to people except those who are close to him.  PS I tested negative twice and a week and a half after symptoms tested positive for the anti-bodies.  I went to a hotel room as soon as I spiked a fever and my family did not get it.   I had a fever for 11 days 4 of which were a bit scary as my heart was racing,  bad head aches, lower abdominal pain and chest tightness.  TG I got through it.  

 

I don't like Trump more for his personality, only policy some things like his stance on China I like... other things like his leadership on Covid and how he has dealt with race nope...  On the economy he is mixed for me.   If he would be such an angry putz... I believe he would be re-elected in a heart beat... 

 

I hope in this case he feels symptoms like I did, but survives... I also hope it doesn't get into his lungs... at that point there can be permanent damage... also the weird clotting this thing does to people is a big risk for heart attacks, PEs and aneurysms.   If it is fake... grr... and twitter is awash with conspiracy theories that it is a campaign stunt.  Who knows.

Was going to give the post the "awesome" emoji, but then got to the part that you're quitting this place.

 

Hope you reconsider leaving; you're a good poster.

 

Maybe when all the lockdowns have subsided you'll come back.  Hope so.

Truth.

 


It’s not a left right thing. It’s a decency especially on the Internet thing. Twitter is rife with rancor that made the”debate” look civil.  Trump accuses Biden of pedophilia publicly. 
 

It would be great if a group of Bills fans could be better but nothing at PPP suggests otherwise, on average. If you are decent, maybe the next person will be. We have more influence here than all the crap B-man and DR will enjoy reposting from Twitter as the day progresses. 
 

Thankfully I’m in the ADKs this weekend and won’t be checking in much. See you on page 20 of this thread.

In that vein I guess we should declare this National Clorox Day..
