IHDY!
He's just a number like these
Deaths:213,543
Coronavirus Cases: 7,553,072

You don't allow all these people to die and become infected and earn my sympathy.
It doesn't work like that.
Sorry! No - not sorry one bit.
ByeDon - you're going down one way or the other!

[The Magistrate]

1. It Strikes Me As Justice, Ma'am

Something not often glimpsed in the wild....

[WheelWalker]

40. I believe you have called it by its right name.

[H2O Man]

45. ..... and something rarely

seen in the wilderness of Trump's America.

[Fozzledick]

46. Poetic Justice at last, Sir.

And all this time I've been dreaming of a Brazen Bull...

[AirmensMom]

2. I'm with you.

I was listening to Video & Multimedia posts while I was working out and kept hearing stuff along the lines of, "no matter what you think of him politically, we must consider him as a person." Well, ok, I considered. As a person, he's a sadistic piece of shit that I have hated since I saw him on some talk show in the 70s. My very first thought way back then was, "what a horrible, self-centered, conceited waste of space." I remember Oprah calling him "The Donald." He has only gotten worse over the years. I hope he suffers. I don't give a flying fuck if he dies, but I really hope he suffers and is out of commission long enough to get his ass handed to him on Nov. 3 while he watches helplessly from his hospital bed.

Maybe that's why I'm not running for president. If I had stood 12 feet away from his toxic spit shower for 90 minutes while he KNEW his staffer had tested positive, I could not be as gracious as Joe Biden. And even if I hadn't been personally exposed, I could not be gracious because of the horrors he has unleashed onto us.

OK, I'd better shut up. But first, I'll just say I'm not sad to hear of Republican senators and reps getting COVID, except as it to relates to their proximity to people who actually are trying to stay safe and healthy.

[malaise]

3. Great post

If I had stood 12 feet away from his toxic spit shower for 90 minutes while he KNEW his staffer had tested positive, I could not be as gracious as Joe Biden. And even if I hadn't been personally exposed, I could not be gracious because of the horrors he has unleashed onto us.

THIS

[AirmensMom]

4. Thanks.

[PatrickforO]

20. I'd sure as hell leave the negative ads up and pound on Donald. n/t

[malaise]

23. Same here

I want to hear him say I can't breathe and see if the proud boys and his white supremacists can help him.
Apparently people don't understand how he and his goons have terrified people.

[Fozzledick]

57. That would be a tactical error at this point.

Better to fill the campaign void with a positive message of unity, patriotism, hope for the future and a return to normalcy.

[llmart]

5. You so eloquently stated how I feel.

Consider him as a person???? When did he ever consider anyone as a person besides himself? He's been identified as a malignant narcissist, malignant being the operative word.

I don't give two shits that he's sick and I won't give two shits if he croaks.

[malaise]

6. My tears are for the victims of his deliberate and self-serving negligence

He doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. Spare me.

[BlueDawn]

8. Exactly!

Well-stated, malaise.

[PatSeg]

9. "Consider him as a person"?

People have been doing that for decades. It is because he is such a god-awful human being that people can't stand him. His chaotic politics are secondary.

Donald Trump has no redeeming qualities. I won't behave like a callous and cruel republican, but I can't find an ounce of sympathy for this man. I don't particularly wish him ill, as much as I wish him gone from our lives once and for all. And he can take all his weak enablers with him.

[bullwinkle428]

21. "Trump...as a person" - the CRUELTY is the POINT with him!! I didn't coin that expression,

and forgive me for not recalling who it was that said it, but it absolutely defines him. I'm not doing a freaking happy dance, chilling the champagne on ice waiting on the inevitable news, but goddammit, don't expect me to cry crocodile tears for this monster who has demonstrated a willingness to throw MILLIONS into a figurative wood chipper in a pathetic misdirected effort to bolster his re-election chances, and now finds himself being pulled into that wood-chipper, all as a result of his own carelessness.

[PatrickforO]

22. Yep. Trump is a truly horrible human being.

I've always thought there was something demonic...

[warmfeet]

31. Excellent rant.

I concur.

[smirkymonkey]

58. Hear, hear!

I could not have said it any better. That was pretty much spot on.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

7. dont hold your breath. they will keep him alive on the vent

until it no longer suits their purpose.
i predict they announce he is on a vent on nov 1, then pull the plug nov 4.

[mitch96]

10. Ok is #IHDY trending on twitter yet? Dead yet? Is He?.... nt

[malaise]

11. I hope so check this

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trumps-coronavirus-diagnosis-underscores-lack-of-treatment-options-for-people-with-mild-forms-of-covid-19-2020-10-02

Trump has been treated with Remdesivir, his second coronavirus therapy, which is authorized to treat severely ill COVID-19 patients

President Donald Trump, who recently tested positive for the coronavirus, has been given a dose of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s experimental neutralizing antibody cocktail, in addition to Gilead Sciences Inc.’s remdesivir.

Trump’s diagnosis highlights one of the still challenging elements of the COVID-19 pandemic, that there are few treatment options available for patients with COVID-19. For people with severe forms of the disease, treatment can include convalescent plasma, the steroid dexamethasone, and/or remdesivir. For people with mild to moderate forms of the disease, there are no authorized or approved drugs, though two drug makers recently shared promising results for a pair of still-investigational antibody-based treatments.

“There really aren’t a lot of very effective therapies we have at this stage of the disease,” said Dr. Steven Shapiro, chief medical and scientific officer at UPMC, a hospital system based in Pittsburgh. He is not treating the Trumps. “The thing that we know that is most effective right now are steroids. But that tends to work later in the disease when someone develops the pneumonia.”

[LymphocyteLover]

15. hopes and prayers!

don't ask which way!

[wnylib]

43. That sounds like his condition is

worse than we have been told, if he is getting those treatments. But, is it possible that he is not as bad off as it looks and the treatments are being given as a precaution, to fight the virus while his immune system builds up a response?

[ResistantAmerican17]

12. Die Bart Die

(Deep Simpsons cut)

[LymphocyteLover]

17. LOL!

except Trump is Sideshow Bob!

[ResistantAmerican17]

35. Winner winner!!!

[Tommymac]

13. I respect the Office of The President of The USA. The man, not so much.

Hell, he doesn't respect his Office. Or The People he is supposedly serving.

In fact, he has actively killed over 200,000 by his uncaring actions and attitude. And he could give a fuck.

What goes around comes around, Killer Clown.

[TNNurse]

14. I do want him to live to see Biden win.

[LymphocyteLover]

18. I'll take what I can get, as long as he's gone soon

[wnylib]

48. But what a shame if he never faces trial for his crimes.

[LymphocyteLover]

68. maybe the Coronavirus is his trial...

he could even get the death penalty

[machoneman]

24. Yes! Live for say 30 days after Biden's win, slipping each day closer to the Hell he deserves.

Hey, maybe Dante can add another special circle of Hell for deserving Republiscum Presidents?

Or, maybe he can be joined by all the deserving winger Senators, WH staffers, RNC campaign staff and, most deservedly, Rudy Ghouliani!

Hah!

[treestar]

32. This

I don't want confusion over the election with a sudden change to Pence either!

[warmfeet]

37. Joe Biden will win either way.

With the orange dump out of the way however, much damage to our nation may be prevented. A lot of damage can be inflicted between Nov. 4th and Jan. 20th of the following year - up to, and including, the lack of a peaceful transition of power. I would rather have this monster out of the picture and allow Joe and Kamala a peaceful transition.

[PatrickforO]

16. IHDY. Took a minute. If He has Died Yet.

LOL.

[malaise]

19. There will be an 11.00am update from his doctor

so I'll wait for 45 minutes now

[gab13by13]

42. I don't really expect to hear the truth,

I'm sure that Trump is doing push ups and running on the treadmill while watching Fox.

[Traildogbob]

25. Last Visitor

I hope before they induce coma for Vent, Fauchi is allowed to stand at the foot of his bed and laugh like hell. And, what the hell, let Hillary be there as well, she has a hardy laugh. The country owes her that moment of joy.

[malaise]

28. I nearly choked on my coffee

[Traildogbob]

36. Sorry

But it would be worth a pay per view.

[malaise]

39. I would pay

to see those two

[Traildogbob]

41. All proceeds

Go to inauguration party, and disinfecting the White House.

[WinstonSmith4740]

26. Sorry, not sorry...pretty much sums it up!

I'm doing the same thing. Woke up around 1:30 for no apparent reason so flipped on the TV for the specific purpose of seeing if he was dead yet. I really hate feeling this way about someone...I don't like putting myself in the same category as those who were praying for RBG to die. But then I look at the other side of the coin. His death means the survival of our democracy...it's SO worth the tradeoff.

[malaise]

29. You speak for most of us

but I should have pointed out that my 30 minute checks are during waking hours. I have no intention of losing sleep over this monster and the other reckless ReTHUGs

[djacq]

27. Trump needs to live to face Justice.

30. I'm with you...

I check several times a day, here and Worldometer.

Which covid apple will fall from the gop tree next, I wonder.

[malaise]

34. I'm hoping that I can head for the neighborhood

Barr!

61. Yes did you see kellyann whispering in his ear?

[malaise]

63. Yeeeeeeees - thought of the Spider and the Fly

The Spider and the Fly
by Mary Howitt

“Will you walk into my parlour?” said the Spider to the Fly,
“‘Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy;
The way into my parlour is up a winding stair,
And I have many curious things to shew when you are there.”
“Oh no, no,” said the little Fly, “to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can ne’er come down again.”

“I’m sure you must be weary, dear, with soaring up so high;
Will you rest upon my little bed?” said the Spider to the Fly.
“There are pretty curtains drawn around; the sheets are fine and thin,
And if you like to rest awhile, I’ll snugly tuck you in!”
“Oh no, no,” said the little Fly, “for I’ve often heard it said,
They never, never wake again, who sleep upon your bed!”

Said the cunning Spider to the Fly, “Dear friend what can I do,
To prove the warm affection I’ve always felt for you?
I have within my pantry, good store of all that’s nice;
I’m sure you’re very welcome–will you please to take a slice?”
“Oh no, no,” said the little Fly, “kind sir, that cannot be,
I’ve heard what’s in your pantry, and I do not wish to see!”

“Sweet creature!” said the Spider, “you’re witty and you’re wise,
How handsome are your gauzy wings, how brilliant are your eyes!
I’ve a little looking-glass upon my parlour shelf,
If you’ll step in one moment, dear, you shall behold yourself.”
“I thank you, gentle sir,” she said, “for what you’re pleased to say,
And bidding you good morning now, I’ll call another day.”

The Spider turned him round about, and went into his den,
For well he knew the silly Fly would soon come back again:
So he wove a subtle web, in a little corner sly,
And set his table ready, to dine upon the Fly.
Then he came out to his door again, and merrily did sing,
“Come hither, hither, pretty Fly, with the pearl and silver wing;
Your robes are green and purple–there’s a crest upon your head;
Your eyes are like the diamond bright, but mine are dull as lead!”

Alas, alas! how very soon this silly little Fly,
Hearing his wily, flattering words, came slowly flitting by;
With buzzing wings she hung aloft, then near and nearer drew,
Thinking only of her brilliant eyes, and green and purple hue–
Thinking only of her crested head–poor foolish thing! At last,
Up jumped the cunning Spider, and fiercely held her fast.
He dragged her up his winding stair, into his dismal den,
Within his little parlour–but she ne’er came out again!

And now dear little children, who may this story read,
To idle, silly flattering words, I pray you ne’er give heed:
Unto an evil counsellor, close heart and ear and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale, of the Spider and the Fly.

The Spider and the Fly

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

64. Thank you very much for posting that.

I have often heard the phrase "said the spider to the fly" and had never known there was this entire poem. Wow.

[malaise]

65. LOL - you're welcome

There was a time I could recite every verse - my favorite aunt used to read it to us with the don't be fooled by flattery reminder.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

47. Let's do Lindsey!

Or maybe Ted Cruz

[wnylib]

55. No, it's gotta be Mitch next, before anyone else.

[BigBearJohn]

33. Karma is a bitch. /nt

[warmfeet]

38. K & R for visibility. NT

[world wide wally]

44. We can do this the easy way or the hard way

[Miles Archer]

49. I said the same thing earlier

Not just Trump, all of the WH staffers who are now "terrified."

They SHOULD have been "terrified" long before we hit the first six figure "milestone."

Now that it's in the White House, they are "terrified." Before that, nothing stood in the way of fellating the Great Orange God.

Thoughts and prayers!

[malaise]

50. +1,000

[R B Garr]

51. Same here! I kept waking up last night checking

for croak news!

[malaise]

53. Croak news!

[Pepsidog]

52. Wouldn't that be a kick in the ass, he gets sick and gets a boost. I still don't trust anything they

If Trump sees he is getting a boost from being sick he will milk it for all it’s worth. I don’t trust them and now are Dems suppose to be pulling their punches because he is in the hospital. Is it time to go on the offensive? Rs love personal responsibility.

[iluvtennis]

54. I have no empathy for trump. He knew in January how fatal this virus could be and did nothing

to put a national mitigation plan in place. All he did was go invest inn companies that could make money from PPE, therapeutics, vaccines, etc.

I want him to pull through though so he can be beat like a drum by Joe Biden and then face tax evasion & other criminal charges next year.

[malaise]

56. He didn't want to create a panic

Bet he's panicking about now for it's sure taking long for his doctor to speak.

[iluvtennis]

60. agreed. But you like I know that is horse pucky. You tell the American people the truth and then

you say, here's what we are going to do about it. He saw COVID simply as a money making opportunity for himself and his cretins.

[Dem2theMax]

59. I haven't done it every 30 minutes, but I did it the second I got up this morning!

I have to admit I've been in practice.
I've been doing that daily for almost four years.

[smirkymonkey]

62. I keep waiting for the magic words to appear.

We all know what they are.

[wsbradshaw]

66. Trump hospitalized

NEWS......Trump hospitalized.......Syrian Kurds still dead

[sarge43]

67. Yeah, not to worry about Covid, Moron

You're a senior citizen. You'll check out from heart disease or diabetes.
