You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I feel bad for the reporters. I heard a report 3 tested positive.

I heard 1 (per Yamiche Alcindor, whom I believe). I've seen three on Twitter, but just from people, not reporters.

Do you remember where you saw that, sj?

Then there's this:

"City of Cleveland announces 11 positive cases of COVID-19 stemming from preparations for presidential debate" [link]

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I thought on MSNBC but I think it was "rumored" when I heard it.

I have the repeat of Maddow on. She just said three reporters.

I'm seeing Chris Christie tested positive, but nothing I feel confirms it, yet.

(He was certainly exposed in debate prep, however.)

Dear Lord, please protect Joe Biden and Jill.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Of course I can believe they were that stupid, but I CAN'T BELIEVE they were that stupid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Of course I can believe they were that stupid, but I CAN'T BELIEVE they were that stupid.

Apparently they believe their own bullshit.

Thrive to spite them

I want to go on Twitter and find any account trying to blame Dems for this or anyone else and troll them with "Trump (or whoever) should take personal responsibility..." And "why should my tax dollars go to pay for their healthcare? I should have to pay for someone who can't take personal responsibility...."

And there is an official Tweet from Twitter about how any tweet saying anyone should die or wish bodily harm or whatever will be removed because they don't allow that. Which is BS because they do. So I want to find all the maga assholes threatening people and screenshot it and reply to that asking why it hasn't been removed.

Although there seems to be some rumors that some of the super rich donors Trump met with after he was exposed/tested positive (not sure which) and wasn't wearing a mask etc are super super pissed at being put at risk.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Never has an Administration so deserved being hoist by their own petard.
