Hi Joe

While I'm mainly writing on the Debate Thread...

its the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-fifth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

that is relevant to Trump's Covid:

"The Twenty-fifth Amendment (Amendment XXV) to the United States Constitution deals with issues related to presidential succession and disability. It clarifies that the vice president becomes president (as opposed to acting president) if the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office; and establishes procedures for filling a vacancy in the office of the vice president and for responding to presidential disabilities."

But Pete, we all know that this 'virus' is really a hoax, nobody is getting sick from it, it's flu. And it will all be over by Easter. And the Chinese caused it, so if we complain enough, all that will be reversed. And anyway, Trumpf can just take poxy-doxy-chlorophene and he's right.

So clearly Trumpf has come up with a cunning plan. He knows he's stuffed if he has to go into another debate and have his mike turned off, so that he can't stand over Biden or the moderator. So he's made up this thing about getting the virus, along with Hope Hicks, his wife, son, son-in-law, Uncle Tom Cobbley and all. Brilliantly clever. Totally unexpected !

Of course, if he dies as a result of his cunning plan, I suppose Pence steps in ? Biden-Pence: how much more boring could it all get ?

Joe

To back up Trumpf's cunning plan, both 'left' and extreme-right seem to agree:

Maybe it's a bit too late now for me to suggest that I was being, like, sarcastic ?

Joe

'Maybe it's a bit too late now for me to suggest that I was being, like, sarcastic ?'

no Joe just dishonest but that goes with the regressive narrative.

Runner,

Sorry, are you being sarcastic ?
