If we were watching this helicopter waiting to take the entire Obama family

To Walter Reid with Coronavirus how would we be feeling. I can safely say that I would be so scared that I would be in tears. It would be terrifying. The same if the Biden’s were being taken to the hospital.

Yes, Trump practically rubbed the virus up his nose and inhaled and quite frankly he asked for it. I don’t feel even a tiny bit sorry for him because it’s squarely his fault that he is sick. But I feel no pleasure. I hope he learns something from being sick. I hope his MAGATs do too. Perhaps a little sympathy for others. I don’t wish death on them. I wish some hard won wisdom through the pain and the terror of getting COVID 19 for them.

I think this is a great example of karma in action.

I feel nothing for him but enmity and loathing - and I am merely reflecting back on him what he has foisted onto my family. It is his fucking fault that I cannot visit my dying mother in person. I can NEVER get that back and I hope he and his feel a pain equal to ALL he has caused for generations to come. What has been stolen can never be returned so please Fate, make it hurt before you seal his...

Karma sometimes gives people a chance to learn something before they die. Sometimes they get the chance to stop their evil.

it's so unfortunate that this virus was not handed properly and not taken seriously. Karma has a way of biting back.

but any sorrow I would have in that event would center entirely on negative consequences for Biden and/or the country. I don't care about him. I don't care if he dies. I hope he suffers.

I'm averaging 20+ hours of overtime per week taking care of those who are falling from the consequences of his homicidal/genocidal narcissism. Talking to crying spouses and children on the phone while my patients struggle to breathe has left me without a single fuck to give about that chunk of stool they're about to fly over to Walter Reed.

I'm glad he has SARS-CoV-19.

if I were directly dealing with the pandemic like you are. I have no judgement for anyone’s reaction. I’ve been exceedingly lucky because I don’t have anyone close to me sick with it or dying. I just wish I could hug you.

He deserves every miserable minute of this disease. He deserves all the long term problems it will give him.

But his MAGATs should be. I hope they’re all shocked out of their degenerate stupidity for believing him.

This guy isn't capable of that.

For example, here are some traits that you'd think would make him empathize with certain groups: He is the child of an immigrant, the spouse of an immigrant, a New Yorker, and obese.

Yet he regularly attacks immigrants, regularly attacks "chain migration," and regularly attacks "anchor babies." He was OK with letting New Yorkers and other blue state victims die from COVID, and he regularly attacks the appearance of others.

I don’t feel sorry for him. He deserves getting sick. In his case he is directly responsible for all of this.

I don't feel sorry for Trump but I can't wish death on him. Since (assuming he survives) he'll still be president for a few more months even if he loses the election, I hope he emerges from this more empathetic and willing to do his job now that he has experienced the virus firsthand.
