Yeah, tempers are very much frayed here. Did I mention JMU just went back to in-person classes? I am sure this will go well. It worked so well last time! smfh.

More Than ER Nurses Got
Just quit. Walk out the front door. Isolate from your family for 14 days and get on with your life.
Everybody’s gotta eat, but I doubt too many Trump staffers (I don’t mean the cleaning staff, etc.) really need the next paycheck to eat. Fly away, little birdies! Or shut the fuck up.

Staffers with high clearances could go anywhere in DC if they wanted to.

Got you covered there!

Entire (or most? - bunch of top people) joint chiefs of staff are quarantined.
Obviously having all this stuff happen in October makes for a great dramatic novel, but it would have made a lot more sense in April.

Yah. Xi and the rest of the CCP leaders are a bunch of detestable bastards, but they actually did handle the epidemic pretty well. Whereas the responses in the US and many European countries have ranged from “not very good” to “didn’t even try”.

They made you come back the next day, even though the place was empty?

When you’re too much of a dumb fucking moron to realize you can legally buy people’s votes by sending them stimulus checks with your name on them.

Seriously, he could have timed it to happen this month so easily.
edit: Now that I think about it, he still could. Maybe the point of the delay is so that it happens as close to the election as possible?

That would be Obama (sigh). Trump’s already got his name on one letter, and also this:
Why spend money on it when the government will let him put his name on anything he wants?

He can’t really wait much longer at this point if that’s his strategy (Narrator: there is no strategy). The legislation still has to be passed and signed. Not only that, the Treasury was abysmal at getting stimulus checks mailed out in a timely fashion last time, and they’ve torpedoed the USPS since then in an effort to hamper mail-in ballots.

Yep, he really hasn’t seemed to ever have a strategy other than racism.

He says he’ll do it as soon as he wins. Meaning, if he doesn’t win, there will be no help until February, at the earliest.
Basically, why buy votes when you can extort them? (And, better yet, once you win, you don’t have to do anything.)
Wow, a lame duck Trump will be scary, even if accepts his humiliating defeat.

Assuming that he survives that long, of course…
