Ok.
So it is the president's duty to get the Coney Barrett in. But it's his duty to get Covid relief done, only if he's re-elected. Makes perfect sense.
Just pointing out that they are both indirectly trying to buy votes. That's what politicians due. Don't pretend like your guy is any different in that category.

Did someone say back to work?
trump just said, vote him back into office and he’ll get that stimulus passed. Not that he’s looking to buy your vote.Biden has said he will infuse cash into the postal service and end their retirement prefund mandate....Biden isn't trying to buy their vote or anything is he?

his and mock's goofy cheesy fake smiles are enough for me to know what they are all about.
Can't speak for Thorson, but Mock is a decent guy and on the more moderate side when it comes to Dems

but isn't his party against passing down wealth from one generation to the next tho? isn't that white supremacy?
Rules for thee but not for me. Big difference being sharing someone else's money or sharing your own money.

There's a little oil up there, but not Bakken oil. An old Dakota Student article mentions he came from a farm family and a quick google search shows he's had a grandparent or 2 pass in the last couple years. If he did inherit money, I'd say it's a positive that he's invested it in Grand Forks.
This is all a non-issue. More than likely just another member of the lucky sperm club. Plenty of those on both sides. Don't underestimate the benefit of getting a nice chunk of money early on instead of having to build a nest egg up over time.

Shocker but the "smart people and the experts" know what's best. In Walz we trust.
Like Sic has said the second wave fallout from the lockdowns and plain stupidity is going to worse and it will have nothing to do with Covid. Fairview is a prime example.
Speaking of experts Fauci was on TV yesterday saying that mass testing needs to occur in schools and colleges to get this virus under control. Yup......99.997% survival rate in that group. Maybe he needs to tour the LTC facility in Bottineau.
It's been said before but it deserves another mention. The complete lack of common sense that has caused for policies to be enacted that decrease medical capacity at the very time when it is needed most.

Fairview Health, with close affiliation to the U of M, closes 16 of its 56 clinics and one hospital. Cuts 900 jobs.
At least King Walz doesn't have to worry about those 16 clinics being too full now.

OK, so he's going to pull the HIPAA card on this single test?
And how many times has he stated he doesn't need to wear a mask because he just tested negative?
I guess this shouldn't shock anyone.
The "HIPAA" card. Amazing how many people are full proponents of it until it involves someone other than themselves.

don't answer the phone
Well there is that too. It was kind of a hypothetical question since as another matter of practice I don't answer calls from numbers I don't know......was more of if a friend told me.

Now this is NOT wide open.
See that is where your TDS kicks in. You assume that anyone that doesn't buy all into Covid is out there walking up to old people in wheel chairs, pulling their mask off, and breathing on them. Playing sports? Yep. Eating at buffets? Yep. Kids in school.and fully participating in activities? Yep. Going to bars during all but a couple hour window on Friday and Saturday nights? Yep. Not wearing a mask whenever possible? Yep. Dropping down to my knees and screaming when required to wear one? Nope. Quarantining for weeks because someone might have been in the same room as me for 15 minutes and 1 second instead of 14 minutes and 59 seconds? Probably not. Quarantining if a dart buddy gets it and we were near each other most of the evening? Probably.

Your examples don't shock me, I mean look what our president did after he initially learned of his direct contact and then even after a positive test.
Question for the flop, what do you do when you are contacted by contact tracers?
Personally I choose to use my family doctor for all medical advice and would consult with him. Then I would directly notify the people I had been around leading up to it. As a matter of practice I don't give out my sensitive personal information (or that of my friends) including health history to college kids making $10 an hour over the phone with no real way of verifying they are who they say they are.
I always operate under the assumption that anyone I come in contact with could have it, and that I could be an asymptomatic carrier. With how contagious it is, others should be doing the same and acting accordingly. I avoid large crowds....I avoid settings with old and vulnerable people.....but I am not hunkering down waiting for a 100% vaccine to come out.

Where are you guys seeing all of these theories, because I must say this is the only place I've seen them. And they are only being posted by Trump supporters.
Better call midco/quest because someone severed the DSL line going to your bunker if you haven't seen the "if he recovers too quickly it must have been a hoax" theories that are out there.

I don't doubt that he has some of the world's top doctors. I do doubt the message they are portraying based on the treatments he's received and the answers they've refused to answer.
And regardless of the motive, unless you think his team pulled off a RBG Weekend at Bernie's like stunt and made a near dead person look alive for a photo op, the fact that he was riding around in a car over the weekend without tubes coming out everywhere is a sign that things aren't as dire as some would like to believe.

Sure they aren't gonna tell you every single minute detail about his treatment, but when you step back and examine what has been made public it's actually quite a bit. How much more do you need? Do you want them to say that instead of one hour on supplemental oxygen he was actually on it for two hours ....so you and your friends can justify cleaning out the toilet paper aisle at Walmart again?

Not upset at all. Hopefully he has a speedy recovery. Is he on track to be discharged today?
Whether he is or whether they wait until tomorrow, does that really matter?

It can suppress the immune system's activity, preventing your immune system from fighting off the virus if given too early.
Weiss said that Trump’s medical team had “an impossible job,” but that “you can’t say he’s fine and he’s going home tomorrow and by the way he’s getting dexamethasone, which was shown in [a clinical trial] to be helpful in only the sickest patients.”
So a cardiologist from UC San Francisco that has never had any medical involvement with Trump is the person you cited? Once again, you do realize that as President you have some of the top doctors in the world at your disposal to treat you? Weiss apparently didn't make the team.

The President has a diagnosis; thus, this is no longer prophylactic, but preventative. That said, I'm willing to wager the President is also on a Z-Pak as a preventative to biologic based pulmonary infection.
It's almost like those with TDS are upset that the medical community is getting better each and every day treating Covid even in those that come from a higher risk category.

On a sad note, Rednecks gopher has been eliminated in the search for the next Punxsatawney Phil. Officials realized that they were going to need a gopher that would stick around long enough to actually look for his shadow without being scared off.

Dexamethasone is generally reserved for severely ill covid19 patients dealing with inflammation. May be considered simple by Trump supporters though I guess.
I know you are having trouble understanding the concept of overabundance of caution and the privilege of being in a high profile position. I'll dumb it down in terms that you can understand. When a Hollywood star gets sick, they aren't waiting in line at the after hours urgent care sitting next to all of the uninsured people that came in using the ER as general health care with screaming kids that have snot pouring down their face.
And you further paint yourself in a corner without knowing it. If a case of Covid in a 70+ year old fat man can go from "severe" on a Friday to getting discharged on a Monday (or soon after)....how severe was it really?

If he leaves today he will be going from hospital to hospital.
his sideshow yesterday was just another perfect example of privilege.
You honestly believe what you are saying? You are equating his being discharged and going to the White House with a steroid prescription as another "hospitalization"? Steroids are routinely prescribed to people (on an outpatient basis) that need that extra boost to their system i.e. people with asthma and other common conditions.
Actually you are painting yourself further into the TDS corner and you don't have much room left. If a simple steroid prescription is the most serious thing that Trump needed to get discharged......it shoots a massive hole in the hunker down in a bunker forever crowds narrative that avoiding society is the only cure to Covid.
