I feel like it was inevitable, but Trump has Covid.

Edit: Also worth mentioning, but this means he assuredly had it during the debate, which means there's a chance Biden might have it too, as well as who knows how many campaign staff. This is going to throw a monkey wrench into the next few weeks of the presidential race.

There's a good chance this is just a mild case, but Trump is old enough to be at higher risk so there's no telling how he'll handle this. I already feel a lot of people are going to openly hope he dies from this, which no matter how terrible of a president he is, is just an absolutely shitty thing to do.

Trump Condemns Proud Boys
Bruh…

Trump tests positive for COVID
BRUH…!

Holy shit

1st, Steve gets into smash and sets the Internet on fire, then I get my hands on a shiny Sizzlipede and Impidimp in SWSH, and now Trump got the Coronavirus?

THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR BABEH WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it's shitty why?
he's killed thousands

Because you'd be wishing upon him.the same thing that you apparantly consider him evil for causing.

This actually makes one think if Trump's death would result in less deaths of other people and if so, then by how much. Probably depends on who will replace him.

The top three replacements would be pence, pelosi or biden, Pence and Biden voted for the iraq war, have hardly been doves since and pelosi pushed for war in syria.

Considering the last 4 years I think Trump is the less bloody option.

A.) Wouldn't it be funny if he got it from Herman.

B.) Gonna treat this like Custer if he dies.

C.) Imagine the conspiracy theories if he dies.

D.) An electorally weak Trump being given an excuse to step down and let Pence in could be potentially bad.

Believe it or not, a regular citizen wishing death upon the head of a country is a completely different thing from that head of the country actually causing death to hundreds of thousands of citizens

I only have a problem when innocents die
I’m happy when parisites do

It being less heinous than causing death doesn't make wishing it upon someone not a shitty thing to do.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

I think you're somewhat right, wishing for someone's death would leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Will absolutely laugh my ass off at the obituary, just like General Custer.

"Just a flu, masks don't work" would absolutely become the new "No Indians in sight."

This is a purely Kantian way to look at it. Which I get, I approve of a lot of the basics and weeds of Kant, but what's being argued here is that in a results-based perspective these people getting covid is actually a good thing.

Because the purely retarded conspiracy theories about it being fake stop. As a whole the plandemic stance is killing people.

Susan Collins donor arrested for defrauding COVID relief program.

Considering I've seen first hand what Corona can do, all I have to say is you're not wrong but you're a fucking asshole for saying this

Justices Alito and Thomas have already started banging the war drums against Gay Marriage.

They're going to have a tougher time, considering how Overton window has gradually shifted.

Six. To. Three.
That's what we'll be dealing with.

EPA allows Oklahoma to start dumping toxic waste into Native American reservations.

That's true glory of the first amendmen: you can say and think what you wish regardless of how shitty it makes you to do so.

That's assuming Roberts and/or Kavanaugh suddenly turns hard line republican, an assumption the right has made quite a few times over the years and failed to materialize.

Only thing thats certain is its gonna get a lot less tolerant of infringements on the second amendment, I think these days most of the country would agree that not a bad thing.

So is Trump just shooting his reelection in the foot now? Between leaving the hospital when it's painfully obvious he's still sick and most doctors saying the worst of his symptoms are yet to come, and him saying that he will no longer consider another stimulus until after the election when passing one through right now would be the best thing he could do right now. Is this the drugs he's on? What's going on?

Well I hope nobody needed that COVID relief because apparently confirming the new Supreme Court Justice is more important.
What makes this even better is that literally three days ago, he said that Americans needed a COVID stimulus package.

"Work together and get it done" my ass.

His entire re-election campaign has been one bullet in the foot after another, and it's at the debate where he upgraded from a Deagle to a M60. The debate where he tried to make it so no ground was gained by anyone even though he's losing in key states, his own arrogance sparking the pilot episode of Covid in the House and infecting several senators (thus keeping him off the campaign trail for at least 2 weeks, and may also interfere in McConnell's attempts to ram a judge through before the election), trying to rush covid treatment in a bid to continue projecting his "strongman" persona, and now refusing to release stimulus details until after election day and dropping the "economy" (aka the stock market).

This has been said at least one trillion times by now, but someone really needs to take his phone away from him before his blasts his foot to the bone. But they'll probably just leave him to tweet out drugged-up nonsense, which will be both disturbing and hilarious.

I've noticed that there have been very little open debates between QAnon members and the ones that aren't QAnon members. Would these debates be much better weapon against QAnon when they find out that they have trouble proving themselves right?

No more than debates work against other crazy parisites

You cannot reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

He's trying to extort his voters, and independents, into re-electing him.
If he wins, he might grant the money to your business.
If he loses, you'll have to hang on till Biden comes in.

He'd rather come off like a complete ass right before the election instead of giving the people what they want to motivate them to go to the polls. Genius tactics

The winner of tonight's debate was the fly on Pence's head.

And the loser was the American people as a whole.

Hard disagree. Most people aren't reasoned into religion, they are born to it. Yet they use reason to rid themselves of it.

I feel like I lost brain cells after reading this.

From a grander geo-political perspective at this stage there is very little that a Biden presidency would be able to change or undo. The Trump administration recognized certain domestic and international realities and rapidly accelerated the decline of "Pax-Americana". Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is anyone's guess.

But no one can doubt that America has begun a series of retreats from the international world order. Our European allies are now dealing with the harsh realities of what a pull out of US military support means for their own societies – and how it would greatly effect their attitudes domestically, and internationally. You may start seeing an end of the guilt-culture of Europe, a massive break out of unrest due to lowering welfare standards, and an emerging nationalist attitudes that may be fueled by the coming refugee crisis out of MENA.

Instead of having a prominent guiding hand in the Middle East the Americans have stepped back, letting the powers in the region take over more – which due to some geopolitical realities (Iran vs Arab Gulf States + Israel) and the soon to be emerging massive water-wars (Egypt vs Sudan, and Ethiopia, Turkey vs Iraq) have created a new political order. That there is a massive domino effect of Gulf-Arab states lining up to normalize relations with Israel isn't entirely due to their animosity towards Iran – it has, in my opinion, more to do with the emerging water crises that these countries will have and the necessity for Israeli water technology.

Where America's over-seas interests may lie is in the Pacific, primarily as a buffer against Chinese expansion. It is here that I think that Biden may try to alleviate some of the economic pressures but would probably hesitate as anyone who's savvy enough to understand the massive anti-Chinese political consensus in Washington today. Ultimately, on this front very little will change.

I doubt that Biden would have the political will or backing to expand US forces internationally. The so called "neo-liberalism" or "neo-conservatism" era of US politics is waning down. This doesn't mean that the US isn't a great power – it just means that we are less and less likely to play policeman. I think, on this issue, the overwhelming vast majority of Americans across all political stripes would agree to.

Even right now, major conflicts are emerging and the US putting no real say into the situation. Or involvement. The Armenian Azeri conflict (full on war if you ask me) is primarily involving Iran, Turkey, Russia, and a whole slew of mercenaries.

I cannot imagine a Biden presidency reversing course on a lot of Trump's international actions. They would be domestically untenable. If anything, he may actually carry out, if not expand on Trump's international doctrine (though never admit to such), just as the Obama years expanded on the Bush doctrine.

I wanted to make this a separate post on the water-wars in MENA.
To sum up: Ethopia and Sudan are building massive dams on the rivers that feed into the Nile. Egypt with it's 100 million population, depends heavily on the Nile not just for drinking water, but agriculture. A quarter of the Egyptian workforce currently works in agriculture directly. Some estimated that the dams in Ethopia and Sudan could reduce the flow of water for the Nile by as much as 30%. Similarly, the Turks have also started daming up rivers that lead into the Euphrates causing existential concern for down-river countries like Iraq. This spells a massive crisis that may result in war, but will result in massive migration patterns out of MENA that would dwarf Syria. And the primary destination of these refugees will be north.

This in turn will exacerbate an already growing problem of "far right" nationalist movements in Europe that have emerged as a response to the refugee crisis of the last decade. This, on top of the fact that the guarantees of the US effectively fronting the cost of European defense are being eliminated, means that the Europeans will have massive strain on their social welfare systems. That kind of strain, and inevitable reduction of benefits will spell total unrest from the population that has, for at least 2 or 3 generations felt a guarantee of a comfortable safety net.

This could lead to some serious problems for the EU as a whole. As the EU would have to contest the real existential problems that individual member states would have – with it's own policies.

The next 10 years are going to be extremely volatile, and the relatively long peace the Earth has experienced may start coming undone.

Right wing militia tries to kidnap MI's governor

They're tied to the Liberate Michigan movement, you know, COVID truthers.

>Right wing militia

That's an awfully funny way of saying terrorists.

Not at all, it's simply being more specific. If you say right-wing terrorists you don't know if they're Islamists, Christian dominionists, Christian separatists, militia, sovereigns, incels, hyper-nationalist lone-wolves, or the garden variety of wannabe dictator the US loves to fund

Sounds alot like domestic terrorism

Because it is.
The MSM just uses the whitewashed term "militia" to avoid the truth of what they are.

I'm surprised
all they do is spread inflammatory shit

There's been some reports that at least one of them was an anarchist – called Trump a tyrant, with a giant Red on Black A anarchy flag.

And where exactly did you find these “reports?”

Hello, Newman.

Der tief greifende Ersatz für 2016 U.S. Official Election General, dieses Mal über alle legislativen Fragen, die Sie wollen. Wie üblich, weitermachen, halten Sie es sachdienlich, und für den Fall, dass Sie das Gefühl, etwas verdient seine eigene Schnur, ziehen Sie alle Register!

Here and here and here and video of him here saying "They are oppressing you for a paycheck. If you're still supporting law enforcement, you are supporting the people who are enforcing slavery on everyone else".

Seriously doubt there are many Trump fans with ear plugs, and red on black Anarchy posters in their room.

Alrighty then ya got me

Having one single member with Anti-Police Brutality views doesn't really shift away from the fact that the organization as a whole was a Far-Right "militia" that targeted people targeted by Far-Right conspiracies.

One member a vocal blm supporter who attended their rallies. Another calls Trump a tyrant and has a literal Anarchist flag in videos he's posted. Right wing and left wing are meaningless, and are used to group a wide variety of people's and ideologies under an accusatory banner. They were largely anti government extremists. That's all.

Two people out of the thirteen arrested over kidnapping and domestic terrorism charges.

Do we have details about the political affiliations of any of the remaining eleven, outside of the broad category of "anti-government"?
