It seems that Trumps acting ICE director was talking to Tucker Carlson on Fox news and said he dislikes his department being compared to Nazis, because he is "just following orders".

THAT is a look into the abyss. And yes it does stare back.

No sense of history nor what they’re doing. Amazing ...

I know there is no getting to the guy, but I sure would like to say to him - careful, look how Mussolini wound up.

Trump will throw daily lies at you, don't get sucked into defending against them, don't explain, just say "Consider the source" and go back to your own work.


Well, dou you think he listened to you last night, Enzo?

I think he tried. Trump was talking over him the whole time. I am sure Trump was trying to break Joe's concentration, but Joe never lost it. I found the whole thing an embarrassment. Two more of these? If they bother to have one, I hope they add a turn off the mic during the opponent's two minute "interruption free" times. In fact they should add turn of the stage lights on the silent one during those periods, to prevent eye rolls and posturing.

I read they were considering a mic-off switch for the next two. No lights-off switch though.

Yes, and Trump's team are objecting - they say the rules were agreed and they should stick to them. Biden's team have lodged no objections as far as I've heard. I see, though, that the Trump propaganda team are also accusing the moderator of being pro-Biden - hang on, a Fox News presenter is pro-Biden??

It does indeed. As a friend posted on social media recently, few in the world remember the name Jakob Schmid, the man who turned the Scholl siblings in. He complained against his sentence - like many others, he said he was "just doing his duty". As the post went on to say, "Maybe you don't know personally someone who would have flipped the switch on the gas chambers. But I can almost guarantee you know a Jakob Schmid."

Sadly, this is quite true.

The problem is that if he has no, or only mild, symptoms it proves it is no worse than the 'flu. If he gets very ill or dies then Biden poisoned him at the debate.

There is a ventilator set aside specifically for Trump; it's called Forced Air One.

He's probably pulling a BoJo and pretending to have it, to elicit sympathy and serve as a distraction from the encircling hurricane of shit.

ETA - and fine jokesmanship, whoever came up with that, and thanks for sharing!

Has he had any symptoms at all? Or is this just the result of routine testing?

The most likely outcome might be, he wouldn't even have known he had the disease if he hadn't been tested.

That's one end of the spectrum. The other is, Melania discovers that the big problem in her life has been easily solved after all.

That has already been put forward: https://www.newsweek.com/trump-coronavi ... ts-1535910

People just don't think big enough. If you want to do conspiracy, go all in. Like deliberate infection, but self-induced.
Now he can totally flip on covid and get all serious about it in an effort to redeem himself. If he plays a 'road to Damascus' card, remember where you heard it first. ;)
Or maybe self-induced in an effort to knock-off Biden. :glp-1rof1:

On the other hand, if he happens to be one of those that this doesn’t cause serious problems for I’m sure he’ll double down on his told-you-it-was-nuttin’ bullshit and his idiot supporters will whoop and cheer (while firing their guns in the air, in my mind at least).

He is reported to have light symptoms. The test was routine, done because one of his close aides tested positive.

I'm getting that heads of government are at least 4-5 times as likely to be diagnosed with coronavirus as members of the global public.

Globally - 34.7 million cases from a population of 7.8 billion.

Heads of government - at least four:
US
UK
Brazil
Honduras

That's out of 195 or so countries, depending on how you count them.

This is my fear. If he has a relatively easy go of it, it will skew his bias even further.

Lots of us have that fear.

And I was already told he was poisoned by the Democrats. This person was serious, unfortunately. Wide-eyed, drooling serious.

Sigh ...
