  1. Not a chance trump wrote that. No way he knows Pennsylvania is a commonwealth.
  2. White House staffers are relying on twitter and news reports to find out if they have been exposed. And at least 34 of them have already been diagnosed with Covid, as a result of the super spreader in chief. Why the hell would anyone voluntarily expose themselves to these people?
  3. This. Even if trump is in the clear by next Wednesday (spoiler: he won't be), his team who we know were exposed to Covid at the time of the last debate refused to wear a mask, and Mother couldn't be bothered to wear a mask last night, and we know Pence, and thus her, have been exposed.
  4. Yeah, I get that. It's why it doesn't make sense. The matter is confidential pursuant to HIPAA regardless. But an NDA entered into with the federal government in which the government tells you not to disclose information of public interest would probably violate the First/be a prior restraint. And any agreement between trump personally and a government employee performing a governmental function would be invalid because there's no consideration/no contract between trump and the physician (and pointless anyway because of HIPAA). I want to know if we're paying DOJ employees to draft this nonsense. And if this story is true, I want to see the NDA, because this makes zero sense.
  5. I don't understand this story. His health care providers can't release information he hasn't authorized due to HIPAA. And how can an NDA with a government employee about that employment possibly be valid? That would violate the First Amendment. And who is the NDA even between, the physician and Trump? But Trump isn't paying him. The physician and the US government? How could the US government require its employees not to comment on matters of public interest?
  6. I think it's a combination of these two. I think Hayden's timeline of when he contracted Covid and started spreading it to people is correct. But he didn't get tested until shortly before his hospitalization, instead becoming symptomatic and realizing around the time of the debate he likely had Covid due to symptoms.
  7. Shot Chaser:
  8. Related to the press conference Chris Wray announced for tomorrow at 11 am on a "matter of national security"? Along with US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. Barr seemingly not involved.
  9. The debate commission should refuse to do the debate. We know Pence should be quarantining. Good on Harris for getting the plexiglass. But what about the safety of the moderator, the camera crew, etc.?
  10. No. Only covered entities (medical providers, insurance companies, etc.) are governed by HIPAA violations. Nothing would happen to the reporter. If one of her medical providers gave that information to the reporter, the provider could be in a world of trouble though.
  11. Yes. Everyone should see this. It was really eye opening.
  12. Typhoid Donald.
  13. Does Biden have to quarantine now?
  14. How many people did Typhoid Donny Two Scoops give this to? The fundraiser last night with about 100 people, the debate, the travel, the rally, his aides, all the WH staff including cooks, cleaning people, etc., Secret Service agents, AF1 crew, his SCOTUS nominee, and I’m sure there’s more. And he’s on video from all of four days ago mocking Biden for wearing a mask. I just wonder at the timing and whether you can make that ad while trump is still sick.
  15. If he has it, he definitely gets the biggest Darwin award ever.
  16. It's not that I think he's ever truthful. He lies every time he opens his mouth. And, honestly, who the fuck knows. But lying about having a highly contagious virus a month before the election feels like too stupid a lie to put forward. He can't have rallies. Can't campaign. Hell, unless everyone the entire administration on it, he's got a bunch of staff that will quarantine. Maybe some congresspeople who should be campaigning need to quarantine. Hell, his staff met with Amy Barrett this week. Would she potentially quarantine after this news? Senators who want to push her through? His children who were also on that plane?
  17. This. Also it not only takes him off the campaign trail, but it forces many other GOPers into quarantine a month before the election. Or are his kids who were on the plane with him going to still go out campaigning after news comes out that they should be quarantining? I wouldn't put anything past them and everything he says is a lie. But this seems like a stupid one to put out there.
  18. Why would he lie about this? To deflect from his debate performance to a reminder that he knew this was deadly and lied to the American people repeatedly?
  19. It's viral load too, though, and they were in the same room for an extended period of time. Hell, all trump's yelling had to increase the viral load. I'm not sure how likely it is anyone in the Biden family got Covid from the trumps, but their asshattery in not wearing masks certainly increased the odds.
