BF2S Forums Presidential Election 2016

mocking biden for wearing a mask in the presidential debate hasn't aged very well.

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Mr Trump was experiencing mild symptoms, but that he and Melania were "in good spirits". He said he was optimistic the president would make a speedy recovery.

This seems like a copy and paste of the Boris situation.

He's in good health, only minor symptoms!
He'll be back in action soon and is getting regular checkups!
The PM has been moved to a hospital as a precaution, but he'll be on top in no time!
Boris has been admitted to the ICU, but nothing is amiss!

Then he gets out to say he's been on a ventilator for days and that it was a close call....

except that's not how the boris situation developed at all. he worsened in the space of a day and had to go into ICU. and did only have minor symptoms before that. he was taking cabinet meetings and appearing on webcam.

covid can progress very fast and escalate quickly.

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson was taken into the hospital for tests on Sunday as a precaution, after struggling to recover from the coronavirus infection he contracted 10 days ago.

I swear I read that precaution line everywhere and 'cabinet officials' insisting on his good health while he was actually hooked up to a ventilator

My comments were mostly directed at the optimism that he would make a speedy recovery. A statement that will be quoted in perpetuity if his situation does worsen. It's a wishful spin that doesn't quite work when we're talking an unpredictable virus. I remember when Boris kept being taken places as a 'precaution' whilst officials insisted on his health/recovery I joked they would start preparing his casket 'as a precaution' and 'for tests' whilst unnamed officials would of course ensure the PM was still talking and doing well.

i.e. they weren't honest about his developing condition. The fact that he had been on a ventilator only became public knowledge after his recovery. I understand their need for positive messaging towards the public, but it became rather deceitful when it was clear the man spent a week+ in a hospital bed.

You know Melnia's aging self probably gets jealous when Hope Hicks is around.

it's apollo and daphne. a better myth though is ixion and nephele.

she's really young and is trying to look older. she also probably knows exactly what donald trump likes, his bimbo-hooker ideal, if you will, so is imitating that to get ahead. a terrible thing that women have to dress to please ogling and chauvinistic men. i do hope hope hicks uses her insider access to catapult herself into a wonderful career.

the recent thing with the fox news lady shows pretty well what happens to those poor women who don't get out of those circles. an absolute ghoul.

she found herself in the trump clan in her mid-20s, that's got to be distorting for anyone's worldview. i'm not sentencing her to eternal moral damnation just yet.

hope springs eternal.

i would forgive ivanka everything too. that poor girl. always welcome for dinner.

This is absolutely no evidence Ivanka is any brighter than the rest of her family. People just assume better of her because she is pretty and can speak well. Literally White privilege.
