    It's not good for the country. It's not good for him personally, being high risk as he is, or his family. The politics involved are obvious. With how lax they have been with preventative protocols I'm not surprised but it certainly isn't something that I'm excited about or celebrating. This is unsettling for the country and my hope is that this FINALLY gets all Americans on board with how serious this virus is and the responsibility we all have to take preventative measures to mitigate its spread. It is way past time to stop forking around about your rights and mask up. Just a bad night all around imho.

    The funny thing about this is that it's not a case of outside-in contagion, but rather inside-out. White House security and disease control measures were not breached by COVID, they were breached by Trump himself and his repeated denials regarding the reality of COVID with which most of the US has had to live with since early this year.

    Trump's narcissism and resultant lack of empathy have prevented him from behaving responsibly toward COVID. As long as it doesn't happen to HIM, then he doesn't care. Some just don't get it figuratively or literally until it's on their front door. The question is to what extent does Trump now "get it"? My guess is that he doesn't unless his infection becomes life-threatening.

    They’re still just regular people. Wasn’t there a scandal involving secret service agents and prostitutes while protecting Mr Obama?

    If I remember right the scandal was exposed because the agents decided not to pay their prostitutes

    I have no doubt it’s been happening for decades
     
    At some point, they won’t be able to do anything on the floor of the Senate without dem cooperation, right? I know I read McConnell is still pushing through several new federal judges, maybe he just won’t be able to do that.

    The Dems might be able to force votes on items since McConnell doesn’t have the votes to stop the procedure. They still need a super majority for most items but they can be a real thorn in the side for the GOP.
     
    If the gloating media, public, and politicians would pause for a moment, they might realize this event could be a catalyst towards their goals, healing and sanity of the nation. That should be the important thing.

    Nah, screw this higher standard bullshirt.

    The rest of this country are right here waiting for the death cultists to stop denying science, refusing to take minimum precautions, and delaying our ability to get back to normalcy because they rather “own the libs” and have their immediate gratifications rather than admit their reckless ignorance or bother to think about their fellow citizens for one forking minute. That’s your higher standard.

    As for the death cultists coming around to reality....Yeah, get back to me when that happens. Seriously, let me know.

    Wow, I actually wish he was more like this. Very polite and to the point. Actually sounded pretty good.

    Breaking my self-imposed exile from MCB, just to say, that is what scared sounds like.
    Wait and see how he comes out on the other end, if he does. And if he does, and returns to the Trump we know and love, we are going to be worse off for it.

    Now, back to my regular religion bashing program.

    We can do that while still pointing out that the administration very much brought this upon themselves.

    You can’t change someone’s poor behavior without pointing it out.

    It's a lost opportunity, and a reflection of hypocrisy. The nation isn't less divided and healthier than it was a few days ago.

    No, but it has a much clearer picture of which side was on the right side of the argument.

    Perhaps healing could occur if conservatives would be the gracious ones, admit they were wrong, and change their behaviors.

    Didn’t the senate pass a rule against remote voting? If 3 republicans are out, that makes it a 50-47. At that point it only takes two republicans to side with the democrats on something to have a majority.
