trump with his photo-ops and stunts is seemingly trying to cover up an infection more severe than admitted.  pence has taken no precautions, was in the middle of the covid cloud all week, so just a matter of time before he tests positive.  i bet nancy is following protocol to the letter these days.

 

Order of Presidential Succession

• Vice President.
• Speaker of the House.
• President Pro Tempore of the Senate.
• Secretary of State.
• Secretary of the Treasury.
• Secretary of Defense.
• Attorney General.
• Secretary of the Interior.

 

 

 

Trouble is, going through this list and thinking who's holding most posts - nothing much to look forward to there. Pence? Pelosi? Grassley? Pompeo? Mnuchin? Barr? Meh.

Great spectacle .. though the constant loop of his vehicle moving a couple of hundred metres got a little weary after the third repeat and the only thing missing was him waving a Bible and six-gun ..

Any Aliens looking in on this planet for signs of intelligent life have really been sold a dummy if they've been observing this mad hatter's tea party .. my advice to them anyway would be drive straight past fella's this place ain't worth stopping off at ..

Latest Saturday Night Live's host Chris Rock said in his opening monologue he felt sorry for the virus residing in 45. (paraphrasing)

"If [45] were my patient, in unstable condition + contagious illness, & he suddenly left the hospital to go for a car ride that endangers himself & others: I'd call security to restrain him then perform a psychiatric evaluation to examine his decision-making capacity."

Looking good for Trump recovering.

I guess those that wished him to die of it will be disappointed.

 

NB I'm not referencing any poster on TVF, but plenty on "social media", from what they are saying on talkback radio here, that do wish him dead.

What most really want is him gone from the White House , that looks more likely by the day.

That's nothing compared to the SNP MP Margaret Ferrier who caught a packed public train on a multiple hour journey AFTER testing positive for Covid19. That's right, knowing she was positive she got on a packed train with members of the public for several hours. Amazing SNP. 

I agree it was appalling , which is why even her own boss told her to resign.

By contrast Trumpers are not only refusing to condemn his arrogant quarantine break , they are trying to spin it as a positive.

Can you see the difference ?

Dexamethasone is 6 times as strong as prednisone and is used in hospitals as a treatment for severe cases of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and other serious infections. To say 45 only has a mild case doesn't pass the smell test.

Six times OMG! I had prednisone for a ruptured disk and thought I was God, felt so good!

Of course they can. In their eyes she did bad, Trump did good.

But prednisone is also a very serious medication, and does a lot of collateral damage to different parts of the body. Combining that with dexamethasone is NOT the therapy given to a "mild case."

Latest Trump photos say Mark Meadows in room - despite president not wearing mask

 

"It's a very interesting journey. I learned a lot about Covid," he said in a video posted to Twitter on Sunday, before leaving the hospital in a widely criticised drive-by for supporters gathered outside.

An attending physician at Walter Reed, James Phillips, described the motorade surprise as “insanity”, pointing-out that everyone involved would need to isolate.

Its an abbreviation of a Latin phrase Nota bene meaning "take note" or "note well" often used in legal profession

He lost the debate, now he can't campaign. He will have a good excuse for losing now, there is no way he leaves the wh if he loses. 

[Stargeezr]

Maybe it was just the cars that drove around. Unless Trump rolled down a window and was seen, he could have been still in the hospital. Geezer

There is zero chance that Trump will return to the White House on Monday.  He is more likely to be in the ICU at Walter Reade by the end of the day, since the most convincing evidence so far is that he has a severe case.  

LOL. Pity I didn't have a bet with you on that.

He held up his tiny hand to prove it was him. 

 

Curious how those people were gathered there, as if they knew he would be driving by.  Aren't these routes usually kept under wraps as a matter of security?  Paid performers?

6.30pm in Washington is 5:30am in Thailand. Watch our for the news in two hours.

 

I wonder if Trump now had a negative test result for Covid-19.

Hes doped up and thinks he is great. He will have issues when it wears off.

Typical Trump. Just rolls his sleeves up and get's the job done with the minimum of fuss. Impressive and inspirational in equal measures. His strength hasn't gone un-noticed, and his resilience makes the fear mongers look rather silly IMO.
