  • This was Trump at age 74: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/11/us/politics/trump-coronavirus.html

    President Donald J. Trump was sicker with Covid-19 in October than publicly acknowledged at the time, with extremely depressed blood oxygen levels at one point and a lung problem associated with pneumonia caused by the coronavirus, according to four people familiar with his condition.

    His prognosis became so worrisome before he was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center that officials believed he would need to be put on a ventilator, two of the people familiar with his condition said.

    The people familiar with Mr. Trump’s health said he was found to have lung infiltrates, which occur when the lungs are inflamed and contain substances such as fluid or bacteria. Their presence, especially when a patient is exhibiting other symptoms, can be a sign of an acute case of the disease. They can be easily spotted on an X-ray or scan, when parts of the lungs appear opaque, or white.

    Mr. Trump’s blood oxygen level alone was cause for extreme concern, dipping into the 80s, according to the people familiar with his evaluation. The disease is considered severe when the blood oxygen level falls to the low 90s.



  • Bankers? Nah. Media and Telcom? Not likely. They’re all based in NYC, the bluest of the blue cities.

    Now you’re just making things up. You can’t just say “nah, not likely” and prove anything. It’s a lack of effort that shows you don’t have evidence.

    NYC is a “blue city” (whatever that means) because of these professionals. The actual working class people in NYC make up a lot of the conservatives. That’s why cities are more liberal: because they have more educated people. Those people work in banking or media; they’re not all artists or plumbers or something.




  • Biden is doing this to drive a wedge into Republicans. The gun nuts and the ones that don’t care about guns will have differing opinions because now gun violence affects them directly. It’s really smart.

    Biden looks presidential. Trump has three choices:

    1. Come out against AR-15s, for obvious reasons. This makes gun nuts less likely to vote for him.

    2. Come out in favor of AR-15s. He looks insane to Republicans who don’t care about guns.

    3. Trump ignores the issue or waffles and looks unpresidential.

    Number 3 is most likely. Of course the correct answer is number 4: propose a competing policy that is nuanced. But that’s impossible for trump.






  • Maybe his polls will actually start going down because people are afraid he has a traumatic brain injury. Look at the blood coming out of his head. That plus possible PTSD is very understandable.

    It’s unfortunate, but maybe he should step down so Republicans can run someone else. Trump already had some mental problems and a bullet to the head doesn’t help. Blood coming from his head or his wherever isn’t good.
