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!

Any evidence for those crimes? I keep hearing a lot about that, but no evidence to go with it.
How many deaths should there have been? Looks to me like there wasn't much of a way to keep covid out of the US. The problem with assertions like the above, is that they compare to a fantasy situation where nothing bad happens. First, show that the president has the power to make that fantasy situation possible through normal, competent action.

Given that we have 4% of the world's population, 4% of the world's Covid deaths would be... sad but reasonable. 20% is definitely unreasonable. Less that 4% would be "American exceptionalism" as we would actually expect.

So if you're looking for solid evidence then we can hop right on to his multiple abuses of power to interfere in investigations.
Done. Yet with a complicit GOP controlled senate and a corrupted DOJ we see nothing happen and thus IDIOTS like yourself who won't even read trting he report bumble around going "DeRs No eVidEnCe!!"
I'm starting to hate you for repeatedly hammering the "no evidence" lie. What exactly do you call the stuff that the GOP refused to let be heard in the senate? Nevermind, I know what your answer will be "a bunch of partisan lies and bullshit." I've been trying hard for 4 years to not hate Trump supporters, but the level of lies and deceit you're willing to engage in makes it very difficult.

Fuck him and fuck anyone who supports Trump at this point. They have no excuse and their human-skin masks are starting to slip. Don't feel guilty about hating people for willfully and deliberately and *gleefully* tossing their souls into the trash compactor.

I have truly hated very few people in my life and when I actually achieve real hatred it weighs down my soul more than it causes them any discomfort. So I try to avoid engaging feelings of hate and try to work them back to derision and annoyance. Things that don't occupy my emotional state
It gets difficult as I said. People like khallow pretend to be intellectually rigorous, but on certain topics they become blind and dumb. I would give a finger or tow to magically be able to know which users are just shills and trolls, and which are brainwashed fools.

Plenty of people I don't like, quite a few frequently post here! But hatred is a different beast. When I see stulid shit here it mosy irritates me on a more general level because I know the nutters here represent a much larger group. Some are paid shills, which is why I would give up a finger or two for magic see-the-shill powers.

Are there shilling agencies or something? It sounds like something that doesn't pay well enough to target small sites. Much easier to just pay a journalist or editor to get something out that has a bit more visibility and credibility.
