We must not allow them to distort the narratives of this election...

O'er the wires the electric message came,
"He is no better; he is much the same."
Austin

Trump is going to be in isolation doing all cap tweets and having inappropriate photo ops for the next 2 weeks, at least. We know how the virus behaves and it is going to be a few more days before it will be obvious if Covid decides to really kick his arse. They are trying to suck all the oxygen out of the election campaign by demanding we obsessively focus on one old obese man’s virus ills, which he bought on himself. So, while the right wing is demanding we show empathy for the wanker, and Biden suspend his campaign, we must not allow them to distort the narratives of this election… after all the choice is between Biden and…

A super spreading, Covid denying, disinformation machine deep state conspiracy theorist who is responsible for 210K and counting, dead. A man who is trying to take healthcare away from millions (in the middle of a pandemic), and make Covid a pre-existing condition (irony alert) while pledging to gut social security if he gets re-elected. He has turned the department of justice into his own guard dogs against the norms of the state and together they are trying to break the constitution and trying to steal the election, including encouraging his supporters to break election law. He is trying to force through a SCOTUS far-right pick before the election who would kill reproductive rights and lead to further erosion of the separation of church and state.

He is a shite white supremacist who has called on his own version of Hitlers Brown Shirts to cause violence, mayhem, and division on the streets and in the suburbs of America. All the while, demanding the anti-judicial arrest of American citizens, firing on and dispersing peaceful protests. Encouraging police violence, treating police as his militia against protestors who are protesting their brutality.

He shows ongoing contempt for the military and does nothing about bounties on the heads of American soldiers – who are ‘suckers’ and ‘losers’.

Stealing millions from the American taxpayers to support their failing businesses since taking office. Tax evasion. Fraud. $750. Stealing from Kids Cancer Charities. Golfing.

Kids in Cages.
40 million facing eviction.
29 million facing food insecurity.
25 million unemployed.
12 million lost their healthcare.
Anti-union, anti-workers’ rights.

So yeah, in the least surprising news ever, an old man caught Covid because he thought he was above the virus, and this is one of the least interesting things about him and the terror he has wrought over the last 3.5 years. They are using mixed and confused messaging to keep the focus on Trumps health. It is a manipulation pure and simple and they cannot be allowed to get away with it. This is not an election about one man getting the virus, it is an election about over 200,000 dying from it, and everything else he has inflicted on America and the world.

Just sayin'

Just this morning, I was watching a clip on YouTube and one of his paid banners was there that said "President Trump is a Warrior", asking individuals to text well wishes to a number that most assuredly is tied to his campaign for fundraising.

Newsflash to the idiot right. The "President" is no warrior, he's a fucking moron who flaunted every recommended step to avoiding this virus and got slapped in the face because of his own hubris! Warrior my ass

They are really going to want a bump in the polls over this and help their strained coffers. Interestingly when Boris went down with Covid, people were sympathetic but he did not see any meaningful bump in his personal approval ratings.

He has done so much damage to our country. He is an unrepentant criminal who should be prosecuted for his crimes. His entire cabal needs to be held accountable for aiding and abetting this monster. We must vote them out.

available angle for all it's worth. He personally has far too much to lose and so do the GrOPpentroopen.

total mishandling of the pandemic

The clock has run out on them

The VP debates will highlight that

The biggest threat we have is their attempt to suppress the vote

That is all they have. To cheat
