Not sure which of the two threads this belongs in.
The growing coronavirus cluster linked to Donald Trump is sending ripples of intense anxiety among staff, journalists and officials who spend much of their time in the White House and into the wider city of Washington DC itself.
The West Wing has reportedly turned into a “ghost town” amid complaints that the White House has failed to trace potential contacts of Trump and his infected aides, with many now working from home even as the president exhorted Americans “not to be afraid of Covid”.
That has left behind a skeleton staff of about 100 of butlers, ushers, cleaners, custodians and maintenance workers, who are often older and drawn from groups at higher risk of developing severe symptoms of the virus, including a butler’s corp that has historically almost exclusively been black.
Lets not forget that Cohen is really really really stupid. LIke, he was the perfect patsy for Trump. I’m not saying we should like him, but man it’s hard not to pity him a little.
I think Caffeine can correct me on this, but the thing with Blood O2 concentration is that you go from “fine” to “holy fuck” pretty quickly. There’s no real middle ground of “meh.”
Honestly, I think this is correct. If he’s losing Iowa & Ohio, he’s lost anyway. He has to pour his limited remaining resources into PA & FL and hope he can just win the others. It’s the same thing with Texas. The correct play would be for him to ignore it.
Another reminder that I can “create” three (3) votes for the stupid potato with zero (0) chance of getting caught. So how about you assholes putting up or shutting up.
If you aren’t trying to talk me into doing such “creating”, you are doing orders of magnitude more “harm” than a random tweeting a bad thing about the stupid potato.
