    Since he's against "socialized" medicine, I hope he is ready to pay all the costs.

    Being POTUS probably means you have amazing health benefits that the employer...er, government...wait...us people? pay for.

    Very sad. When the story comes out you’ll probably be sick.

    Disturbing amount of anger on this joyful thread of celebration.

    Seriously! Some people can really mess up anything, including the proverbial wet dream.

    Why are you glad?

    Glad to see people aren’t caught up in conspiracy theories. It’s sad whenever anyone or any group gets caught up in debilitating fear and mental illness— whether it be the alt-right with their Q insanity or those who the last 4 years of Trump have broke their brains.

  5. Maybe I'm just naïve and lack any strategic or political instincts, but those who are saying, especially on the first page or two that this is overwhelmingly likely a ruse or gambit sound very deranged. Either Trump has broken people's brains or people are really so traumatized by the last 4 years that people are losing their rational minds. There should be rejoice at this, not inventing fake conspiracy to be upset about this unless that is how conditioned your neural networks have become due to being so abused by Trump over the last 4 years.

    There is nothing good about faking or having this virus, as many have mentioned, for an obese elderly person who cannot afford to not keep on the offensive and trying to force Biden into a mistake in the last leg of this election.

    He's woefully behind and will lose and covid-19 is going to be a 10 second run-off penalty when there are only 9 seconds left in the game.

    All that being said, yes there is a chance that this happens so we should brace ourselves for the possibility:

    *Covid-19 enters the chat*

    "I'd like to see Trump wiggle his way out of this one now that will definitely lose the election and possibly even die"

    *Trump recovers and somehow has enough votes to claim gray-area/fuzziness and no clear winner on election day and sow confusion and chaos*

    "Ah, well, nevertheless. Remember that time we impeached him which was about the most worthless, toothless, paper tiger thing, but we did it?"

  6. “LOL at the snowflakes that believe @KingJames could even last 10 seconds with me! If that coward had the balls or the ability to kick anyone’s ass, Delonte West would’ve lost his teeth long before his meth habit!” Covington wrote on Twitter on Monday night.

    That was such a sad performance. 
    Biden called the sitting president of the United States a clown, to his face, and completely and totally had the moral high ground in doing so, and nobody blinked- that’s how terrible and unhinged Trumps performance was. 
    It was as if he had no idea what he needed to do to win, or if he did he had clearly no self control to make it happen. Just dumb, mean spirited, rude and lacking in any decorum or forward looking ability to process what he needed to accomplish. 
    Worst debate performance I’ve ever seen, and that was by miles and miles worse than anything from the 2016 primaries and general election debates that he participated in. 
    The idiots in team Trump gave Biden the lowest bar anyone has ever had to clear and then Trumps performance made it literally impossible for Biden to step on his own dick which was the only way Trump was going to win the election.  

    Agree.

    Don't underestimate WhatsApp.  That shit is huge in the Spanish-speaking community, and its even worse than Facebook.

    Do you even Hindi, bro? WhatsApp is a billion strong with my Hindustan brothers who are surprising in their political stripes (the ones here in Texas, at least, I've found).

    Agreed.

    Not so fast, my friend. In what sense is a <13 week old fetus "living"?

    (Viability is generally put around 24 weeks.) (I choose <13 because that's when 90+% of abortions happen.)

    The philosophical place of the fetus is undetermined and has been for all of recorded human history. That should be pretty instructive as to what it means to be "a human" and whether or not the fetus fits into that category.

    Much like the religious do with faith, we should embrace the mystery instead of forcing answers that don't work.

    What's interesting to me is that you (and me, and our kids) were called a "fetus" the second before we were vaginally discharged somewhere between 38 and 42 weeks (I'm guessing, which is the normal "full term" definition I believe). The 5 minutes before you were born you were a fetus and not a human being; does anyone really believe that?

    I think that is the problem you are addressing-- there are no clear lines of demarcation or thresholds which we can point to as black and white, right and wrong. I do think there are others who don't subscribe to my thinking (which is all abortion is murder), who can try and make arguments very early (basically before a heart beat) that seem practical and ethical if I put myself in their shoes and their lacking of my values informed by certain faiths and beliefs, and can accept politically that without agreeing with it morally.

    But there are still obviously some differences and it probably defaults to most, sane people's "Roth test" of "I know it when I see it" meaning that aborting a 35 week "fetus" or 38 week "fetus" or 30 week "fetus", seems to be playing with semantics at best, embracing euthanization at worst.

    That said, I am honest about the dilemma of abortion being made legal. Of course people talk about the health of the mothers/baby who do illegal/blackmarket abortions, but also in the sense that many, many (if not most) of the people getting abortions are in some ways being responsible. They realize they are poor, can't afford a baby, can't raise a baby well, won't be able to give the energy and resources and love into a baby to optimize and maximize their potential or just are honest about their selfishness to not want to share limited resources and time with a baby. These poor, unprepared, unwilling, and generally unable people would be bringing untold lives into this world to be an anchor around the necks of the already choking middle and upper-middle class, but that being said; I'd choose paying more taxes and sacrificing my quality of life, if it means saving babies from being cut down in the womb.
