At this point the GOP realizes they are in danger of not having a quorum which would preclude the Senate from doing business. So if they don't get tested, they won't get diagnosed. Of course, if you're as old as Grassly you are basically risking your life for a political cause of dubious merit.

They’re gonna keep playing stupid games until a DC Republican literally dies.

And they might keep going after that.

The undead Twitter account of Herman Cain, who literally died from contracting coronavirus at a Trump rally, is still praising Trump.

*Herman Cain chuckles*

Pretty sure there is no stopping the momentum of this train short of a mass wave of notable Republican deaths, or the president. And like you, not sure that’s even enough for many.

Already the narrative seems to be trending toward anything short of death and the Republicans are spinning it as Covid is for pussies and Trump owned the libs by beating it. Keep opening up!!

Even if it is true, Trump is the beneficiary of some of the best and most expensive medical care on the planet. How about the rest of us?

Yeah, it would be great if every American could get 10 healthcare specialists dedicated to their care. Unfortunately, that's not even close to the reality the rest of us have to live and die with.

Imagine if President Obama had been laid low at this point in his presidency. You know, having nominated a supreme court justice and all.

Republicans--"We couldn't possible move forward with a supreme court nomination!! The president is ill and it's an election year!!

Oh, wait....

Conley walking back his timeline.

He wouldn't have said it in terms of hours if he didn't literally mean it. This is what happens when not so smart people tell lies. They always say something that exposes their lies.

The president can have a significant Covid infection that requires treatment and hospitalization - and still be completely within his faculties as president. Power doesn't have to transfer unless the president is truly incapacitated (even temporarily, such as in the case of general anesthesia). Now if he's drugged up or something, that's a concern. But from what I have read, even moderate cases primarily come with symptoms that do not actually incapacitate the person nor call for drugs that do. Intubation, of course, is another matter, but that's not happening (not yet at least).

And what we know about Trump, he isn't going to agree to relinquish authority to Pence unless he really needs to. He's tweeting (presuming that's actually him), and he walked to the helicopter yesterday - he may not be "fine" but it's also really unlikely that he's incapacitated at this point.

Moderate cases do frequently come with fever induced hallucinations, so that would be something of a concern.

To a large extent Trump has been living in a land of delusion. Truly, a delusion is a break with reality and is a symptom of psychosis.

 

[LA - L.A.]

I saw him speaking yesterday. I saw him walk to Marine One yesterday. I saw medical staff at Walter Reed today describe him in manner that would not suggest he's incapacitated.

I'm not saying Trump is having halluciantions. I don't know. My point is that none of the above is proof that Trump isn't incapacitated to fulfill his duties and responsibilities as president.

Chris Cuomo was broadcasting his show from his basement while working through a moderate case of COVID-19. He told us daily about the hallucinations he was having, like the long conversation he had with his dead father.

A person can both have moments of lucidity and still be generally incapacitated. Is it acceptable for a person who is randomly moving in and out of lucidity and hallucinations to remain in power as president? Would that not be considered, at the very least, a temporary incapacitation?

I think he will likely get tested, and treated if necessary, on the down low. It seems that's what Trump just tried to pull off.

Has it been revealed who is tweeting from that account?

 

[MT15]

I think I agree with this tweet. Dems need to play hardball. You know McConnell would do the same. Sometimes a bully won’t respect you until you give him a dose of his own medicine.

I don’t believe Mr Conley wrote or dictated that memo. Best scenario is he verbally agreed under pressure to sign off on a memo written by someone in Mr Trump’s administration. Has there been any other word from Mr Conley after this memo?

 

[MT15]

Conley is the WH physician, right? (I’ve been gone all day, so am fuzzy about the cast). There have been spelling errors in each of his written statements, IIRC. So we have two choices:

Conley cannot spell common medical terms (unlikely, since someone would spellcheck one would think)
or
Conley isn’t writing these statements

I will look to see if I can find the errors that I’m thinking of.

 

[MT15]

Here are the errors on the most recent statement. The point is made that there is no signature on there and it’s a little bit ridiculous to think that doctors would be incorrect about the timeline. That’s a really important consideration for tracking the course of an infectious disease. Lastly he gets the type of antibody wrong and misspells the name of the antibody cocktail.

Either Conley is a crappy doctor, or he isn’t writing these.

I suspect that right now, the Trump kids are running things in the White House. I'm not saying they are running the country or that Trump is incapacitated.

I'm just saying that I think all of the White House actions are coming at the direction of the Trump kids.
