United and American Airlines have furloughed 32,000 employees now.

The lesson of 2020 seems to be that anyone who is opposed to burning down communities, looting and rioting is a white supremacist and racist.

There is a long list of items that make you a "White Supremacist" that don't include being an actual White Supremacist.

Saw a report that a number of Trump's advisors felt something was "off" about him on Wednesday. He seemed exhausted and tired. His rally in Duluth that night lasted only 45 minutes. People chalked it up to it being pretty cold and windy but now it seems more likely that Trump just didn't feel very good. And people who were at his fundraiser in NJ yesterday afternoon said he seemed lethargic and not his usual self.

Or, at a minimum, a racist. That list is staggering. Essentially, any position that against the Ds plus a whole bunch of other stuff.

The cynic in me says that Trump's COVID is bullshit. He'll "fight it off" and "cure" it by taking hydroxychloroquine and prove all that he was right about it all along and he is so healthy that nothing can stop him.

It also provides a way for him to skip the debates without having to disagree with the possibility of cutting out his mic when he goes on the attack and disregards the rules.

MAGA!

I doubt that it's bullshit. It makes him look like less of an alpha.

My prediction...Trump recovers...Biden tests positive...Pelosi brings up attempted murder charges on Trump...Kevin Warren panics and shuts down the B1G again...

[Dr. Strangelove]

Ronna McDaniel (RNC Chair) is positive too. Although she's been in quarantine in Michigan since last weekend. Last time with Trump in person was last Friday. So maybe there's a connection there? Maybe not?

Realistically anyone infected at the debate isn't going to be able to test positive for several days yet, right?

[Ghengis Jon]

5-14 days.

If Trump really has this, (leaving a crack in the door for conspiracy theorists) he's not going to be 100% any time soon, especially at his age and with health issues that he has. There are people half his age and in better overall health that have fought this for more than 2 months.

I don't think there will be any more debates, because Biden's people won't let him get anywhere near Trump because of this. Trump will be fortunate if he's recovered back to 70-80% by election day.

There have been people in our community of similar age to him that were hospitalized for nearly 2 months.

Senator Mike Lee (UT) announces he's got it and going into quarantine. He's on the Judiciary Committee.

3 days ago he met with Justice Barrett. Neither wore masks. Lee was also in a Judiciary Committee meeting on Wednesday. Didn't wear a mask then either. Hard to know when or where Lee caught it but there's video of him at last weekend's nomination ceremony shaking hands, giving hugs, and again, no mask.

Pelosi just said they're going to move on a stand-alone Airline bailout bill today. Big change

[lineygoblue]

VP Pence and his wife both have tested negative today. In addition, Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner tested negative today, as did Barron Trump, the President's youngest son.

Mr. Trump is reportedly experiencing 'mild' symptoms of Covid today, but is working from the private quarters in the White House. No report on any symptoms for Melania Trump.

…..and Notre Dame just announce that the school President, Father John Jenkins, has tested positive for covid

Jenkins was ALSO at the White House this past Saturday to witness ND alum Amy Barrett be nominated. There was footage of him shaking hands, no mask. Students at Notre Dame even circulated a petition demanding he resign earlier this week

Could just be a coincidence but man...starting to wonder how much this shit might have been circulating at that event.

Melania posted on Twitter that she has mild symptoms too.

No one that's been near them for any prolonged length of time in the past few days will really be in the clear until sometime next week.

Guys, we’re losing sight of what’s most important and that is the health and well-being of Hope Hicks. How is Hope? Any updates?
