So what would happen if Biden or Trump died before election. Who’d be next to be in the election for both sides?

Thank God ,or however you believe, that Biden tests negative.
Other tests prove Trump is still a asshole.

The media keep breathlessly reporting that the administration isn’t being honest with us about how ill Trump is. What, you mean this White House may not be telling us the complete truth? Is this actually “news?”

And what difference does it make? The only thing that genuinely matters is whether or not the virus kills Trump. Short of that, it’s a bit more complicated. If he’s sicker than we’re being told, is that a bad thing, or a good thing? Given that when he’s healthy he causes positive harm to the nation, maybe having him confined to Walter Reed is a plus.

I’m not being snarky about this. I honestly don’t understand why it’s important for the complete truth about Trump’s condition to be made public. Who cares?

This is what I expect of the Biden campaign: facts, clear and complete. No drama.
Says a lot.

We will probably never know for sure, but there is a high chance that Mr. Trump suspected (or knew…) he was infected when he participated in the debate. And then, there is the fact that practically the entire Trump family refused (After being asked repeatedly) to wear masks. Imagine if the 2 men had shaken hands at the start of the debate.

I continue to send positive energy to the Bidens, and all the folks associated with their campaign for normalcy. Please stay safe, and be cautious until you are sworn in.

Speaking of negative…The Biden camp is making a big mistake pulling negative ads out of “respect” for the one who does not know the meaning of the word. To ignore the entitled Trump family and dominatrix Ms Kimberly who refused to wear masks at the debate, despite campaign agreed upon rules, is a mistake. Now that Trump feels well enough to go joy riding on a whim, the gloves can come off. He put secret service agents at unconscionable risk and must be called out for it. In fact, just the chaos around Trump’s diagnosis, condition and treatment is material for at least a dozen ads. People are horrified by Trump’s behavior and this is the time to pounce.

That’s what third parties like Lincoln Project and VoteVets are for.

And it’s working.

It’s sort of an open question – as if everything isn’t, these days – but millions of ballots have already been printed with the names of Harris and Pence included; and many people have already voted.

True but Biden can use this opportunity to drive home how his administration would be different regarding health transparency. At his age, this is relevant.

Some of them, like Kushner and Miller, have (and largely were allowed to pursue) their own agenda. They are doing what they’ve been doing. Others, who’ve been “just following orders,” may have some questions now – but not for much longer. I hope.

Unfortunately, Joe Biden will be at risk for the next week or so. I’m praying to the FSM for his health.

On the other hand, I’m wishing a nice COVID on that bunch of rich bastards and their spouses who could pony up $250K to meet with tRump last Thursday. I understand they are freaking out.

They’d have to pay me to do that – and pay me quite a lot more, I should say, before I’d even consider it.

And it pays to remember that people aren’t voting for Biden or Trump - they’re voting for electors who then elect the President. Those electors don’t change if Trump cashes in his worthless chips before November.
