I guess lying and fabrication doesn't hold the same shame and dishonor in the day of trump

Denial is a hell of a drug. My wife's FB showed a (former?) friend saying "It's all a hoax. Trump doesn't have it. Biden has it!"

I'm too curious how long it stays up. What kind of drugs do you need for that? In that mind the two of them are collaborating to swap diagnoses? Or everything in the whole world is just made up? Amazing.

‘That scenario is nonsense.' No proof exists for rumors about positive COVID results with no actual tests

COVID-19 Q&A: Do people really get letters saying they're sick even if they never took the test?

would you like me to keep going?

I was talking to this guy whose cousin's sister in law went to get tested and left without one of her kidneys and a bunch of little scars on her belly.

I think these people who call the pandemic a hoax are scared.

Calling it a hoax (that the entire world is in on) is the equivalent of a kid sticking their fingers in their ears and saying "la la la I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

For sure. Some panicked about their jobs and some about disease, but it's clearly a fear-driven inability to face reality.

Yeah, that was my first thought, and I still believe it, about 9/11 conspiracy theorists. It's coping.

I hear this as well. Fairly certain that this was at least somewhat organized, as the post reads nearly the same from various unrelated acquaintances.

I have not read what the cause of death was for the President’s brother. If it was Covid, I imagine that impacts his thinking

Aliens. The blood drinking democrats use babies to quench their adenochrome thirst.

Yeah contact tracing is hard,

"Mr. President, who have you had contact with in the last 72 hours?"

"Well, there was Ivanka, my chief of staff, that judge lady, what's her name?, oh, and the porn stars I barebacked that the SS snuck in through the hidden tunnel Jack Kennedy had installed."

"oh, and by the way, no way Melania has it, obviously."

I think he was in overall shitty health just like his idiot brother. But, then again, they never released an official cause of death which leaves much room for speculation. I would not be surprised if it was the rona.

Could it be that he is barebacking that judge lady? I like that rumor.

I agree, but I would bet that Biden would pardon him.

What is, Trump getting sick or COVID. If Covid, look in the mirror and slap yourself in the face for being an idiot.

Heh. Best way to tell a serious long con is a 9-month thread in the Padded Room. It's one of the most important heuristics for this decade.

She's not a bad looker. If you can get past the batshit crazy.

Yanno... I don't want to wish anyone ill but I'm just a little pissed off at all this super special treatment Mr. Trump is recieving when tax paying citizens are dying at home because they aren't sick enough to be treated.

It's not like he's some super special essential person. Three and a half years ago he was nothing more than a shyster real estate developer. It's not like he went to some special "Presidential College" and graduated top of his class. Anyone in Congress could do his job. He should have to struggle through this like the rest of the citizens that he failed to protect by acknowledging the pandemic and enacting basic rules.

You’d probably enjoy the article in the Guardian by Tony Schwartz the ghost writer from art of the deal. Even more damming than he was in 2016. I’m sure it’s partly self promo but still interesting.
