Yes, her 15 year old daughter. As much as I am not a Kellyanne fan, I don't like this stuff out there dealing with her 15 year old. That is a Conway matter. Not for the world to see.

Rudy Guiliani, the only person on Trump's debate prep team that hasn't tested positive, was on Fox News last night coughing his ass off. i am sure he is hoping for a positive test so he can feel better than he has in years.

For guy who feels better than he has in 20 years, he certainly looked like he was gasping for breath waiting for the chopper to leave.

An honest question about Vaughn
It would be like putting Konerko in RF. You might be able to get away with it for a game or 2, but eventually it is going to hurt you really bad. This guy hits a lot, and plays 1B decently. He is also something the Sox don’t have a lot of, a selective hitter. They do need another lefty for sure. Don’t mess with him.

If you have lost a loved one, I can’t even begin to imagine how disrespected you feel reading what these clowns are saying. And the thing is, Trump is all hopped up on steroids right now. What do they say if a couple of days from now he’s back on Marine One, this time on a stretcher?

I love how he gives his administration credit for developing the drugs. Looks like they are all going to need them. Only 210k have died. Nothing to fear. I doubt he is out of the woods either.

This is like choosing your pilot based on their experience crashing. At what point do people start holding it against them that they think you are so dumb?

Which brings the question, How can you expect them to protect the country when they cannot even protect themselves?

So far, the only member of Trumps debate prep team that hasn’t tested positive is Rudy Giuliani.

I wonder how Kayleigh spins this. She famously told everyone Donald Trump unlike the awful Barrack Obama, wouldn’t let the Coronavirus into the US. Now not only did it come in, but he may have actually given it to her.

And we know who made it a political issue. Like wearing a mask was taking your rights away. The WH press secretary is trying to make herself innocent, but she briefed the press yesterday not wearing a mask. So irresponsible. It is time someone is held accountable.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
A Fox and Friends host posted a picture of himself wearing a mask in a Walmart where masks are mandatory. He was getting blasted in the comments section for wearing a mask. So much so, he had to disable it. More proof leaving it up to the people is a bad idea.

Chris Christy can check into the hospital as a precautionary measure. My wife, fully insured, with asthma, doesn’t have Covid but has the “beginnings” of pneumonia, needs a CT scan of her lungs. They have an opening on October 28th.

The problem now with the vaccines is how few will actually take them. Between anti-vaccers and those who do not trust the government approval system, to get half of the population vaccinated is going to be pretty tough.

The effectiveness of Don Cooper
The White Sox are already on record they are never going to fire Coop. He will retire some day, maybe soon, but I doubt it will be before they have a couple more seasons where they should be good, unless his health goes to pot. And Hassler is his replacement. It has already been determined. So if you think the Sox are going to fire Coop and replace him with some 35 year old guy who is all about spin rate, you don’t read what they have already told you.

So Tex, this is why there has to be shutdowns. Not everyone is responsible and when POTUS is one, it emboldens many others. Any hope that Trump getting Covid might spark more responsibly is out the window. Watch all the praise he gets for risking Secret Service lives.

Once he went on oxygen, power needed to be transferred. It isn’t going to happen because that might be considered a sign of weakness, and this is a dick measuring contest, not an exercise to keep the country as safe as possible,but it should have happened. This is a guy who mocked Hillary Clinton for almost collapsing when she had pneumonia, and whose rally crowd laughed and applauded the mockery. So transferring power while he is conscious will never happen.

The other guy who really might have a huge problem is Chris Christy. Not only is he severely overweight, he also has asthma. And they haven’t announced Biden’s test results yet.

This is no surprise. How do you think this administration would respond? Perhaps all the lies and misinformation are finally catching up to them. But his response, and the fact that Trump exposed all those donors, some who paid $250k to this virus knowing Hope Hicks had it and he might, is all business as usual. Par for the course. The guy doesnt care about his biggest donors. Just their money.

Charlie Haeger wanted for murder, found dead of self-inflicted gunshot
I get the innocent before proven guilty angle, but c’mon man. She was trying to get a restraining order against him. She is dead in her bedroom. He was seem coming out of her bedroom with a gun. He went to the Grand Canyon and shot himself. We aren’t a jury. This is pretty obvious. Your sympathy is misguided. It should be toward the victim. if she were harassing him,why would he go over to her home.Why would he follow her to her bedroom? Charlie didn’t have the guts to face the consequences of his actions.

That is why government has to step in with bailouts. The more everyone would be on board with a shutdown and wearing masks, the shorter the pandemic will last. It is really interesting how mask wearing goes. I live in the Gold Coast, and have frozen my gym membership until this passes, so I do a lot of walking and bike riding to get some exercise. Around me, most people wear masks. Go up to Armitage and the shopping area between Halsted and Racine, you wouldn’t know there is currently a pandemic. No one wears a mask. They hold them. That is a mile and a half apart. Go up to Lakeview, and it’s a mixed bag with most wearing them. It is really weird. Wearing a mask is easy. Everyone wants this to go away. Putting it on will make that happen a lot faster, but no. I don’t get it.

Sox should replace Renteria with Ozzie Guillen
Scottie Pippen quit on the Bulls infamously, then came back and won 3 championships. I am not so concerned with Ozzie quitting on the Sox, which he did, but the season was basically over, and there was some infighting. That said, no way for a return. We know how it got. It will all be about Ozzie, and when it’s not, it will be about Oney or Ozney. I will leave Jr. out of it, as he always seemed to be the least entitled offspring. And if you are all about analytics, Ozzie hates them more than Hawk. His time has come and gone. The Marlins of all teams, paid him for 3 or 4 years not to manage. That tells you a lot. JR is on record Ozzie will not manage the White Sox as long as he owns the team. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/chicago-white-sox/reinsdorf-ozzie-guillen-cant-come-back-white-sox-manager

The photos of Trump “working” in the hospital were definitely staged. For one thing he does wear reading glasses and there were non in sight. And the “document” he was signing was zoomed in on, and was a blank piece of paper. It is hard to imagine they wouldn’t think they would be so easily busted on this.

He killed himself.

No. He refused to answer if he was on oxygen, which he was. His timeline suggested something totally different, then he went back and changed it. Get someone from the hospital to speak, not someone who is catering to Trump. I thought Trump doesn’t want to “panic” the country. All this misinformation does is panics the country. Mark Meadows contradicted the doctors comments moments after they were said. You cannot believe anything that doctor says.
