Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

A report from c|net adds:

White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said in a memorandum late Thursday that the president and first lady were "both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence."

The announcement of the president and first lady's positive coronavirus test results came just hours after the revelation that top White House aide Hope Hicks had tested positive for the virus as well. The president indicated in an earlier tweet that he and the first lady had begun the quarantine process.

Hope Hicks, who has been working so hard without even taking a small break, has just tested positive for Covid 19. Terrible! The First Lady and I are waiting for our test results. In the meantime, we will begin our quarantine process!

    Fox news - Fox news - Fox news - on - and - fucking - on - you - go. (you plural)

    You people see the sources for the stories I submit. I don't use Fox. Oh, Fox is in my newsfeed, just like Alternet is. I just keep adding RSS feeds to the reader. Quick count - 114 different sources right now. I scroll through them, and very rarely click either Fox or Alternet. But they are there, if I see something really interesting, I'll click.

    Now, how many news sources to YOU have? Two? Six? More?

    Point is, Fox isn't the only damned news source in the world that you might find objectionable. And, no one cares if you might be "offended" by the news. Don't like the facts I post? Counter them. Find the facts and post them. Sometimes, an AC posts interesting stuff that does seem to counter my facts.

    Wanna know what I do when people cite sources that counter my own? I generally add that source to my news feed.

    Stop whining, learn to argue your position, and stop whining. One more time, stop whining.

    Fuck you, Runaway. We don't care about your sources, because YOU are a stupid uneducated asshole. See? You would not know a reliable source if your Russian paymasters pointed you at one! You are too dumb to recognize truth. You are so stupid you will fall for right-wing agitprop and disinformation. You really should just shut the fuck up, and stop spewing on SoylentNews. If you kill this site, there will be nowhere on the internet for you to go, since you have been banned from everywhere for being such an asshole, even the comment section of Fox News, as I recall you saying. Shut up, asshole, or we will make you shut up! Coward! Weakling (intellectually and morally, and probably physically). And nincompoop.
