Well it's not all bad news, is it? I mean 7000 lorries waiting to cross the channel... I wouldn't call that a "fucked economy".

[Poopadoop]

Well it's not all bad news, is it? I mean 7000 lorries waiting to cross the channel... I wouldn't call that a "fucked economy".

I would.

[OngBonga]

I would.

No lorries wanting to take goods out of the country seems like a worse scenario to me.

First name to pop into my head was Obama. Admittedly, had to go back 4 years for that one.

I'm pretty sure you have to be a sociopath to drone the shit out of villages.

By that standard, Churchill was a sociopath when he allowed the RAF to bomb Germany into rubble in WWII.

I assume you're being deliberately dense here, but just in case you're not:

If there's 7k lorries parked at Kent, there'll be a similar number of lorries parked at Calais waiting to bring goods over here. Things we need like food, medicine, etc. Hence the warnings from the so-called "Project Fear" experts that were poo-poohed by Brexiters.

"Just in time" manufacturing is the standard these days, and relies on things arriving on time, not hours or days later. So expect a lot of disruption there.

Tariffs will still be in place and so prices will go up regardless of whether there are delays or not.

And before you say this should motivate the EU to make a deal, please note that a trading bloc of 450m that already has trade deals with most of the world outside the UK (as opposed to our one deal - in principle - with Japan) is not going to be intimidated by a country of 68m that will be desperately looking for someone, anyone, to trade with.

[MadMojoMonkey]

The Trump interview with Woodward is still shocking to me.
He speaks intelligently and expresses a deeper understanding of the issues than he ever does in other public spaces or interviews.

The sheer disconnect in all that is still surprising to me. Like... I never assume anyone who makes it to the top of a field (American politics in this case) is stupid. So I've never bought into the whole "Trump can't form a sentence" argument. Still... to hear him speak with intelligence is weird.

It only makes all his scandals that much worse. Like, if he's truly an idiot who doesn't know how to solve problems, that's one thing. If he actually knows how to solve problems, but he chooses to let people die to further his own ends, then that's just unbelievable to me. How is that not just evil?

I'm not getting all moral on this, despite the language. I'm just at a loss to understand how someone can know the sheer lethality of the pandemic and then publicly downplay that and encourage people to behave in ways that will definitely kill them. I can understand that there is more on the line than the immediate deaths from COVID. I can understand that economic collapse will kill a lot of people, too. I can try to pretend that there's a balancing act, but I simply can't imagine a scenario in which Trump's handling is productive.

Not that my imagination is a measure of good governance.

[Poopadoop]

I wondered that too. He actually sounds coherent when talking to Woodward - I wouldn't go so far as to say 'intelligent' but he at least seems able to grasp the seriousness of the virus.

As for why he both understands that and acts in ways that are indifferent to the suffering it causes, I can only see one explanation: "sociopath."

[OngBonga]

It's one thing to kill enemy civilians in a war, it's quite another to let your own people die to "save the economy" so you can get re-elected.

You make is sound like these lorries will just be parked there forever, with the stuff on them never arriving, like the ferries have been cancelled.

It might take longer for goods to move between the UK and the EU. That doesn't mean things stop arriving. And I very much doubt we'll see queues of 7000 lorries on both sides of the channel, not unless the ferries have been cancelled because of a storm, anyway. Wake me up when it happens. Until then, it's just nonsense. On the one hand, they want you to think nobody will trade with us when we leave, and on the other, they want you to think that all the trade that is actually still happening is forever waiting at Dover to leave. That's why it's called "project fear". It's propaganda.

That tweet that started this convo today was the gov't saying it, Michael Gove, not me.

Then it's gov't propaganda. Fuck me you've actually brainwashed yourself into believing the gov't is joined in with Project Fear now.

[OngBonga]

Another point... Dover isn't even our main goods port. 7000 lorries is nothing compared to what's at Felixstowe. But of course, that's proper cargo, your massive container ships, not a ferry carrying lorries. Even if there is a queue of 7000 lorries, that's a piss in a lake. Our food from Brazil still gets here, in pretty much the same amount of time than in did before, because nothing has changed between Brazil and the UK. Brazilian fruit doesn't sit at a port rotting, waiting to cross.

Dover is just our most famous port, which is why you'll hear more about Dover than Felixstowe. Propaganda.

[Poopadoop]

Actually, yeah that makes sense. 7000 lorries held up at the border won't cause any problems at all. And, we can still get all that food we import from Brazil. That'll make it all ok.

Oh wait, we don't have a trade deal with Brazil and their trade bloc Mercosur, the EU do. And we won't be in the EU. So I'll guess those ships will have to get their paperwork sorted too before they can unload. With different rules.

Wonder how these preparations are coming along?

#MEGA

[oskar]

37 days.

[Poopadoop]

Trump just told the Proud Boys to monitor the election stations. Presumably they'll show up with guns.

So yeah, he's real interested in democracy.

Also, made another reference to the "forest cities of Europe." Lol, does he think we're a bunch of elves?

5 years ago I would have lolled. A year or two ago I would have rolled my eyes and SMH'd. Now, I think that may be a bit over the top but not a lot. I hope I won't be nodding in agreement by the end of the year.

[Poopadoop]

^^ I think the unknown in all these scenarios is how prepared people actually are to kill their fellow countrymen. The media likes to make it out as if everyone in the US is completely polarised and a significant number are also radicalized. I think the former is true to the extent that a lot of people either love Trump or hate him. I think the latter is vastly overblown. Most people just want to live their lives and make the best of whatever happens.

So a grass roots civil war is unlikely imho. He uses the Russian Revolution as an example, which to me seems silly. People in Russia were working stupidly long hours in factories, then spending most of their "free" time standing in bread lines, while their sons, brothers, fathers were getting chewed up in the trenches. A lot of Americans might hate it if Trump wins, but I seriously doubt they will be at a comparable level of disaffection as led to the Russian Revolution. They are not going to be getting their pitchforks out en masse.

As for secession types of civil war, I don't think they'll be at that point either. I can't even imagine how that could happen. The closest there might be to that is if CA/OR/WA all decide they'd actually prefer to be independent or join Canada or whatever lol.

A Rwandian civil war? Mass genocide? Wtf is he talking about? I didn't get past the headline on that one, but if it's as fantastic as the other scenarios it's almost certainly not going to happen.

Don't know anythng about the Irish Civil War, so didn't read that one either.

[Poopadoop]

The only thing I'm certain of is that if Trump loses, he'll use every trick in the book to stay in power and not have to spend the rest of his life in court/prison. That's scary enough.

[Poopadoop]

I live in a tree.

"In Europe, they live, they have forest cities, they're called forest cities. They maintain their forest, they manage their forest. I was w/ the head of a major country, it's a forest city. He said, 'Sir, we have trees that are far more - they ignite much easier than California'"

Apart from the general gibberishness of this, since when does the head of one country refer to the head of another as "Sir"?

This guy sounds like he just woke up from a coma and turned on the debate last nite lol.

Some people are speculating he's pulling a Bolsonaro and will come back "totally cured" with whatever miracle snakeoil he has a stake in right now. I personally take Hanlon's razor on this one.

Sadly, no. And I say "sadly" without a trace of shame.

But, obesity is. And a diet of mostly cheeseburgers and curly fries can't help either...

Stocks of bleach will be soaring!

Some are also saying he's faking the whole thing and will continue on rallies to show how macho he is/how weak the virus is.

My money though is that he actually has it. Hard to imagine how when all he's been doing is holding huge indoor rallies with a bunch of other retards who don't wear masks.

I think there was a report too that the air force scrambled some jets over D.C. a half hour before it was announced he had it. Seems unlikely they'd have the foresight to do that if it was all just a ruse.

Well, the conspiracy, if true, wouldn't need to involve more than a handful of people. Obviously the military has contingencies setup for all this sort of shit. The mobile nuclear command planes that become the operational HQ's in case of a first strike that takes out ground based command were launched too-- the president doesn't order shit like that, it's based on a play book. Commander in Chief incapacitated---> do XYZ

Yeh it's not completely implausible. Otherwise what kind of conspiracy theory would it be? More inclined to think he caught it breathing in the germs at one of his recent MAGA rallies myself though. Or Hicks caught it there and passed it around the inner circle. Fuck, for all we know Melania caught it from the WH pool boy and gave it to him. I have no idea.

Will be interesting to see what happens.

Yeah, I agree. And now that he's being hospitalized, I think the probability went way down. The play would have been to fake a positive test (with as few people as possible being in on it), then "recover" like it was no big deal. Being hospitalized while claiming he's really fine and it's just an overabundance of caution (while Melania also is apparently doing just fine, but isn't being hospitalized) simply doesn't fit his ideal narrative.

[oskar]

They're flying him to Walter Reed right now. I'd actually be mad if he dies of this. This would be a way too easy way out for the GOP and his base.

Half expecting him to tweet that everything is fake news and he's just getting an early jump on next year's medical test of dementia.

[oskar]

[Poopadoop]

Rumour has it he tested +ive before the debate, hid it from the press for two days, went to a WH function on Thurs. and neither he nor anyone in his entourage put on a mask or social distanced the entire time. His family refused to wear masks at the debate, even though they knew he was already (allegedly) infected.

What a bunch of giant fucking morons.

Now there's a big gathering of well-wishers outside the WH also not wearing masks lol. #MAGA

And will someone for once give him a proper fake document to sign so he doesn't have to keep signing blank sheets of printing paper? This is so far beyond parody!

^^ Weekend at Bernie's, Trump style.

You might think that to be on POTUS' medical team you need to be a leader in your area of speciliazation. But nope, apparently you just need to be the kind of ass-kisser that would let the POTUS leave the hospital for a joyride, breathing covid germs all over the secret service forced to sit in the SUV with his retard ass.

And lol at Ronny Jackson tweeting that Trump has no co-morbidities. 'Cause apparently being morbidly obese doesn't count if you just lie about your height and weight.

Some suspicion about that Trump is not breezing thru this the way they're claiming. Some of the drugs they're giving him would only normally be given for serious cases and have potentially serious side effects. Also, reports that his oxygen levels dropped a couple of times. Also, that personal physician of his talks more like a PR person than a doctor. We'll have to wait and see.

[Poopadoop]

Looks like he's gasping a bit for air to me. He does not look well that's for sure.

He's definitely trying to tough it out but he doesn't look as ill as Boris looked. I mean, I really don't know if I even believe they had it.

[Poopadoop]

he doesn't look as ill as Boris looked.

He's also coated in three inches of bronzer and makeup. Boris looked like he had a bad cold, but Trump looks like he just feels like shit and can't catch his breath. Not sure which is worse.

I mean, I really don't know if I even believe they had it.

Hard to see what benefit there would be to faking it though, seeing as both of them acted like they were asking to be infected in the time leading up to catching it. There'd be more sympathy for someone who wasn't downplaying it I think.

[oskar]

If he doesn't have it then his TV doctor is the single best actor who has ever lived. I wouldn't have put it past him to fake it, but the way it played out was so incompetent and embarrassing that there's no way any part of it was planned ahead of time.

[MadMojoMonkey]

I get the schadenfreude of it all, but I still have sympathy for him.

He's a charlatan who was elevated to power. He's still a man. If he's suffering, then I hope he gets better.

[Poopadoop]

I don't get off on watching anyone suffer either, but if someone's death could save thousands of lives it takes on a different meaning to me.

lol he just threatened to nuke the market if he doesn't get re-elected, which he can totally do if the gop doesn't invoke the 25th.
Stock market currently in panic mode.

Self-gaslighting is a thing now apparently.

WH Physician saying Trump now showing "no symptoms." So...he's cured?

Most experts say d7-d11 is when cv hits the hardest. Also saying they can basically make the WH as good as a hospital for a treatment, with some minor limitations. Also saying if Trump goes back to Walter Reed it would be a very bad sign that he's in serious trouble.

7-10d will be this weekend; will be interesting to see what happens.

They're still not willing to say when his last negative test was, so it's fairly likely he got it a lot earlier than his positive test indicates.

I actually hope he lives. The GOP is getting nuked. They might lose the senate and their supreme court pick. Plus who knows how much of an arsonist Trump will be post WH.

As much fun as it would be to see him lose and marry Ivanka in the WH bunker before offing himself, I'm not sure him dying instead wouldn't be a better outcome for the world as a whole.

I guess I was as wrong as I could have been about Biden. Looks like Biden takes all swing states by a significant margin.

Imagine the benefit to public health if the world's biggest covid denier actually kicked off from it. The global savings in lives just from people who actually realised wearing a mask was a good idea could run into the tens of thousands.

Either that, or there'd be a civil war in the US over the obvious "coup."

It's hard to make predictions. I think the election results will be conclusive enough to avoid any kind of large scale unrest.

Some Q folks will shoot up some pizza places, and drive their pickup trucks into crowds, but that's probably as far as it'll go.

If Biden loses on election day and wins by mid november, that's a different story.

Trump hasn't shown his face for nearly 48 hours. Can't help but wonder how "recovered" he really is.

We are entitled to ask for something the constitution says we have the right to ask, because running for president is exactly that.

I have a feeling that Trump's going to spend a lot of time in court after his presidency ends.
Having that spotlight on his affairs has exposed a lot of nefarious tax shenanigans, not to mention the obstruction of justice charges that are surely available to press if not against a sitting POTUS.

He could also board a plane to Moscow at 1145a on January 20th. He'd be Putin's ultimate trophy, and he'd get to avoid imminent legal liabilities. The kicker would be if he took Air Force 1. It's crazy that this is only moderate-distance fetched

brb, Imma gonna go try to figure out Boris Johnson's password.

[OngBonga]

Meanwhile, Hunter Biden's computer has allegedly been found to have all sorts of nasties on it.

Naturally, it's probably fake news, but so it what you just posted. As fucking if his password was maga2020. He's the most hated man in the world, his account will be the target of relentless log in attempts. I doubt he even knows his password, he'll likely have a 32-character string of random or something.

[Poopadoop]

The good thing about Biden is he's old, white, gentile, and male so they can't play any of those cards against him like they could with the others. And he's not progressive (at least not openly), so there's that too.

So basically it's a choice between a vanilla president and a fucking loony. The fact 40% or w/e still prefer a fukcing loony is funny. Though I suppose 45% of the UK preferred an incompetent clown for PM so we can't snicker too much.

(btw, I tried "Boobies" for Johnson's twitter password and it didn't work. So yeah, it's probably fake news).

[MadMojoMonkey]

Hunter Biden isn't running for POTUS, so who cares even if it's true?

It's not like anyone thinks Biden will be a good POTUS. It's damage control at this point.
We had a few potential candidates that might've been a good POTUS, but they got shoved to the sidelines early, and we're left with Biden.

[oskar]

Exactly. This just makes them look desperate.

It is amazing how weak their strategy is. This whole: Joe Biden is a radical marxist thing is ridiculous, and idk why they thought bringing up nepotism and self dealing would be a good idea while Trumps extended family makes up half the WH staff.
