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!

    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.

    Thank you, Will Rodgers. I know you never met a person you didn't like, but you never met Mister Trump.

      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.

    Really?!? Is that what khallow has been trying to do? I'm amazed! If that was his intention then he is doing a piss poor job of it.
