From the NY Times:
President Trump on Wednesday released a direct-to-camera video address to the nation in which he called getting the coronavirus “a blessing from God,” calling the unapproved drug a “cure” and saying he would provide hundreds of thousands of doses of unapproved drugs to Americans free of charge.

I think this was a blessing from God that I caught it,” Mr. Trump said in the nearly five-minute video, released after nearly two days out of public view and just over three hours before Vice President Mike Pence was scheduled to debate the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, Senator Kamala Harris of California.
So do we now thank China for helping God give Trump the blessing he received?

The Lord moves in strange ways. Effing mysterious ways, if you ask me.

Trump has already spent a half billion dollars on the experimental drug Regeneron, which Typhoid Trump had touted as a cure during his drug induced rant. The company today petitioned for an emergency waiver of drug testing trials.

In tonight's VP debate, Mike Pence's eye was visibly red. He was sitting directly in front of Mike Lee at the Rose Garden event.

Please stand by.

"I'm back because I am a perfect physical specimen and I'm extremely young. And so I'm lucky in that way," Trump said. Trump, at 74, is clinically obese and has known heart issues.

That was great.

McConnell suggests White House is ‘paying the price’ for lax Covid safety standards
Chris Hayes: “In so many words, McConnell said, ‘I have stayed away from the White House because the president is so incompetent, so dangerous, and so deluded that I would not trust him with my own personal health—even though I'm going to do everything I can to keep him in power.’”
McConnell is at least every bit as bad and corrupt as Trump. Plus, he is almost certainly smarter than Trump. This, at least potentially, makes him even more dangerous than Trump himself. How can anyone still support Trump when even his staunchest allies admit he is an incompetent idiot, unless they are incompetent idiots themselves or determined to somehow capitalize on Trump's idiocy for their own selfish gain?

Trump may not be the real danger to our country and democracy. He may be only the tip of the spear wielded by the real enemies of our freedom and democracy, whose useful idiot Trump is content to be. I think there is good reason to fear for the future and well-being of my grandchildren!
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Gunnar here are direct quotes.

"I actually haven't been to the White House since August 6, because my impression was their approach to how to handle this was different than mine and what I insisted that we do in the Senate, which is to wear a mask and practice social distancing," said McConnell.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/08/politics ... index.html


"We need to lead now, with extra prudence and care, not just for our own health and well being, but to be able to perform our elected duties and to be examples to the country," McConnell wrote in last weekend's email, which was obtained by CNN. "Wear masks, stay distant, and come back safely on the 19th."

But yes, if you read between the lines, Chris Hayes has probably got it spot on.

There's reason to fear but not for the reasons you think. How many socialists emigrate from the US to socialist countries like Cuba or Venezuela? For that matter, how many flee the US for Scandinavia or Germany? Gunnar your grandchildren will certainly be living in a country much more like Venezuela than the US if the polls are right about this election.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
