JFC, that is a message right out of the “fascist takeover of the US” playbook.

First, wrong. Second, it wasn't too long ago that COVID-19 was nothing to be scared of. Now COVID-19 is invincible.

I missed this earlier but he also called Kamala Harris a "monster" TWICE in the same sentence:

"And this monster that was on stage with Mike Pence, who destroyed her last night by the way, but this monster, she says, no, no, there won't be fracking."

That oughta sure up the black and/or female vote.

Same. Been over 14 days for me. Says I'm supposed to get in touch with them.


I was in the same boat, but mine came today. Any luck for either of you?

And he fought against having a partition between him and Harris. They are intentionally trying to infect Joe and Kamala in order to make the argument of “see, there is nothing we can do to protect ourselves!

I don't know whether Pence has covid or not. In fact, none of us do. What happened to the completely corrrect post that the "deadline.com' story was just a prep in case that news actually broke?

The story is linked in three threads. It must be true. Even if the link is now dead.

Oh, oops, that's why I couldn't find the correction. Good job, mccare89, though, whatever thread you're in.

A draft post of a story about Vice President Mike Pence testing positive for coronavirus that was never meant to publish was accidently posted on Deadline. It was pulled down immediately. It never should have been posted and Deadline will take steps to see this kind of thing never happens again. Apologies to the Vice President and our readers. We regret the error.

Could anyone see Biden winning the election and then Barr bringing a criminal indictment after the election but before the electors vote?

Slightly paraphrasing Ricky Watters here, but against who, for what?

Barr has proven himself to be an embarrassment, but there needs to be a realistic basis for these things to matter. If Barr is unwilling to make unfounded charges before the election, which he seems to be, in opposition to Trump's wishes, why the hell would he do something like that after Trump loses? It's the same thing with a lot of the handwringing about the court stealing the election, which is extraordinarily unlikely, and only in play if things are flip of the coin close.

I think it causes handwringing because they said they may do it and because they have done the preliminary groundwork to do it. And because the rest of the GOP at the very top of the party is currently filled with sycophants and morons.

Dems already have to win by a couple % points just to overcome the electoral college, then the vote suppression, post office sabotage, and extra-legal maneuvering gets the GOP candidate another point or two. So dems have to win by 5 just to feel comfortable that they'll actually win the election. Add in the idea that a large chunk of the GOP seems to be embracing outright stealing the election and it's understandable that some might be uneasy.
