It is, isn’t it? Maybe Iwanker and her dad can share a respirator.

Stephen Miller’s wife also tested positive… Maybe there is a caring Supreme Being and got sick of that den of iniquity that the Trump White House has turned into.

As the late Irvin S. Cobb once observed, “I heard she was ill. Let’s hope it’s nothing trivial.”

Really it seems like there’s no percentage in taking a chance with this thing:

I’m not suggesting anyone actually START a ‘dead pool’.

But it seems like that would happen at this point in one of my scripts.

Tell me again - what the percentage is ? Do we include the poor Secret Service in figuring it?

We’ve learned in the past 48 hours of over 30 secret service members and 3 senior staff to the first and second families having contracted the virus. I do not think this is by coincidence. I suspect the situation is truly out of hand and people are leaking to try to protect themselves. I also suspect that Trump’s suppression of the CDC/JHU study and the guidelines for business to manage a re-opening in the midst of the virus are the last straws for folks on the WH CV task force and the CDC and they are leaking. I also suspect that we are being prepped for the story next week I tended to blunt testimony on Capitol Hill, that someone prominent has the virus. They want the Boris Johnson sympathy card.

The virus DGAF about political spin, however. Be careful what you wish for.

“They’ve lived a great life. But no, the wind was howling. And I didn’t see anybody with masks, I don’t know, maybe there were.” Trump said

See the wind? It is blowing hard at Trump/Melania’s backs, directly into the vets.
But hey, “they’ve lived a great life.”

You can really see that Trump has completely eliminated all the people who would counter him and tell him that he’s running off a cliff.

He’s surrounded now by people instead who just pat him on the back and that has pushed him over the edge into the abyss.

Does anyone know if the law prohibits Biden to nominate Obama as VP running mate… Michelle will do too.

“This election that’s coming up – on every level – is so important because what we’re going to be battling is not just a particular individual or a political party,” Obama said. “What we’re fighting against is these long-term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided, and seeing others as an enemy – that has become a stronger impulse in American life.”
