I hate to say it, but we need someone on a ventilator here!
What about the Proud Boys? They're standing by, aren't they? Put them on a ventilator. I could live with that.

Anyway - I ended up reading quite a few posts there. What a weird site! Visually, very very unusual and not as 'sensational' as I expected. But full of really bizarre stuff. They are still banging on about Hillary, about Obama, Obamagate, There was mention of Epstein and of Ghislaine Maxwell. I believe QAnon are alleging that Epstein wasn't the bad guy he was made out to be, and/or, his death was a murder, or something. I don't know how much energy I have to keep reading about it but I'll see where it goes ...

As for Fox News and Wallace; my theory is - Wallace has been 'far too reasonable' in his dealings with Trump for the likes of Fox News, and therefore, he's likely to get canned. '(far too reasonable' = doing a decent job of interviewing him a few months ago, and at least TRYING to do a decent job of moderating the debate this week).
Steerpike, I highly recommend you listen to this episode of the ReplyAll podcast (one of my favorite technology/investigative reporting pods).

They interview the guy who started '8chan' and he essentially provides a biography of who, and how, 'Q' came to be, the resulting power struggles behind the scenes the the out of control conspiracy theories - absolutely fascinating stuff!

Wonder how fatigued. I hate vague so and so is fatigued, that can be anything from me everyday always feel tired and run down (chronic in my case) to so fatigued a person can't get out of bed.

If they only they would be a little more specific on that.

Being the President he wouldn't necessarily need to go to the hospital either for COVID, the ICU can come to him.

Just listening to the BBC news, and the report is that they are both received "an antibody cocktail" as a precaution.

Nice to have access to the health care, isn't it.

So anyway, not bleach...

Too bad everyone doesn't have such easy access to healthcare, must be nice to be the President...

Always amazed these politicians wanting to take away things from people, but never willing to give up their gold plated benefits.

I was going to say, I don't like listening to podcasts (unless I'm driving) but I see they have a transcript, so I can read that. 'listening' while at home is just not my thing (similar to watching youtube videos - unless it's a band!). But I will be driving from AZ to CA this weekend (fires permitting) so could definitely try the podcast. It seems like they provide a bunch of ways to listen. Of that long list, I have TuneIn, and I wouldn't object to installing Google Podcasts on my (android) phone. I don't actually have spotify, or any of the other things listed. I don't mind installing apps but I always take a hard-line with 'signing up' for anything these days. I already have probably several hundred accounts with various entities, so I'm just trying to fight off making the situation any worse!

And now the BBC is reporting that Trump is being taken to hospital.

They aren't taking any chances.
