Sorry, I think I got that removed when I disliked every post upstairs for a day
Wow wtf???
Sorry, I think I got that removed when I disliked every post upstairs for a day
what's the argument here? he got covid to trigger dem libs?![]()
From a Walter Reed doctor:
He got bored.
(Short of tweeting, getting discharged from the hospital or dying, Trump can't do very much to drive the news right now.)
Gotta keep those reportable numbers down.
i'm assuming trump has the authority to fire that doctor who tweeted? or to get that doctor fired?
Lmao White House cares about covid symptoms on WH staffers now?
Lmao if you work at the White House and you get symptoms, just go to your primary care physician? Don’t get help from WH medical staff. The pure disregard of this administration for anyone or anything that doesn’t directly help their agenda or campaign is such horse .
Wtf is this? This is a Hollywood movie where the people in charge make every stupid decision allowing for or leading to a terrorist attack, an alien invasion, natural disasters, or of course an outbreak of some kind. This is bonkers.
Braveheart gonna spend the next month explaining every single aspect of his illness including endangering hundreds of people with his stank.
Would McConnell announce this if he didn't already have the deal in the bag? If so, shame on the Dems.
One Democratic Senator can kill a consent agreement.
No role for the CDC in a breakout infection in the White House. They're treating this like a PR problem instead of taking care of people -- same as their national strategy.
I've worked in a COVID wing...this doesn't make sense at all. Either he's bull ting that he has it or he has a death wish and wants to take as many people down as he can before he kicks over...the secret service in that car...SMH..![]()
I think Dems can force a vote not to close. But then Mitch doesn't need to bring in the nomination to the floor until he sees fit, so I'm not sure what's the endgame here.
Looks like COVID-19 will determine the endgame, but there's a rule that makes adjournment very desirable to Rs:
https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/R45170.htmlParagraph 5(a) of Senate Rule XXVI, sometimes referred to as the “two-hour rule,” restricts the times that most Senate committees and subcommittees can meet when the full Senate is in session. The rule is intended to help balance the Senate’s committee and floor work and to minimize the logistical conflicts that Senators face between participating in committee hearings and markups and attending to their duties on the chamber floor.
Under the terms of the rule, no Senate committee or subcommittee (except the Committees on Appropriations and Budget and their subcommittees) can meet after the Senate has been in session for two hours or past 2:00 p.m. unless one of the following things occur: (1) the Senate grants unanimous consent for them to meet; (2) both the majority and minority leaders (or their designees) agree to permit the meeting, and their agreement has been announced on the Senate floor; or (3) the Senate adopts a privileged motion to allow the meeting. Should a committee meet during a restricted time period without being granted permission, any action that it takes—such as ordering a bill or nomination reported to the Senate—is considered “null, void, and of no effect.”
tl;dr
Paragraph 5(a) of Senate Rule XXVI restricts when committees can meet. Dems might have the advantage RE: the Barett nomination if they can keep the Senate in session.
i guess the boot needed licking
Wow, so Trump doesn't shed virus when struck with COVID. Probably also never s and shot 38 under with 11 holes in one on his first time on the links.
Wouldn't matter if they didn't OK it. They can be ordered to OK it. If they didn't OK they couldn't say because of privilege.
More parallels with Woodrow Wilson:
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart...flu-180975972/The 1918 influenza pandemic killed an estimated 50 to 100 million people worldwide—including some 675,000 Americans—in just 15 months. But Woodrow Wilson’s White House largely ignored the global health crisis, focusing instead on the Great War enveloping Europe and offering “no leadership or guidance of any kind,” as historian John M. Barry, author of The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, recently told Time’s Melissa August.
“Wilson wanted the focus to remain on the war effort,” Barry explained. “Anything negative was viewed as hurting morale.”
In private, the president acknowledged the threat posed by the virus, which struck a number of people in his inner circle, including his personal secretary, his oldest daughter and multiple Secret Service members. Even the White House sheep came down with the flu, reports Michael S. Rosenwald for the Washington Post.
Wilson himself contracted the disease shortly after arriving in Paris in April 1919 for peace talks aimed at determining the direction of a post-World War I Europe. As White House doctor Cary T. Grayson wrote in a letter to a friend, the diagnosis arrived at a decidedly inopportune moment: “The president was suddenly taken violently sick with the influenza at a time when the whole of civilization seemed to be in the balance.”
Grayson and the rest of Wilson’s staff downplayed the president’s illness, telling reporters that overwork and Paris’ “chilly and rainy weather” had sparked a cold and fever. On April 5, the Associated Press reported that Wilson was “not stricken with influenza.”
, Dr. Darrin can't even say how he got the virus.
btw, what's the rate of psychological side-effects from Dexamethizone?

So you're taking the word of the President's Deputy Press Secretary about what the doctors said over the actual words of Walter Reed doctors.
Typical.
Lolollooollp ifr lllooooooooklllll
If there's anything Mitch made clear, is that rules are for suckers
lol foldren folded when I asked him how he says the virus spreads six months ago. I made him a bunker .
