The sudden illness of so many prominent Republicans brought to mind a mostly forgotten incident in January 2018. A chartered train carrying Republican lawmakers and their families to a retreat collided with a garbage truck that inexplicably was stranded on the track. The front car derailed, killing one person. The media displayed no interest in the story and offered no follow-up articles explaining the unlikely scenario…
Update: White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany tests positive
h/t Ghost of Ed
I’m sure it has nothing to do with China. Hunter Biden assures us that China is our friend.
What about the fourth, fifth and umpteenth?
Remember it well and remember thinking how coincidental not to mention how convenient it was at the time.
But we’re not supposed to talk about things like that lest we be branded as conspiracy nutjobs.
The only time conspiracies can be trotted out is when it’s a Democrat. Witness Dem. Senator Paul Wellstone, killed in a plane crash some years back, the media went absolutely nuts…demanding to see maintenance logs and the party affiliations of those who ever laid a finger on his plane.
Very amusing.
The President was, by reliable accounts, well enough to go home Sunday. The doctors will not let him do so. The motorcade was a compromise they agreed to under protest, to humour an otherwise difficult child.
The President is being held against his will on behalf of people who do not want him campaigning against Joe Biden, and want plausible deniability ahead of an assassination.
Can we trust every single person at Walter Reid?
How do we know that?
That’s bullshit. The President was not held there against his will. He could have stayed at the White House. HE decided not to. Did you watch the video where he explained this? (And see my previous comment about the Presidential suite at Walter Reed. Not exactly a multi-bed ward, or even a regular private room.)
Hm I watched the news conference and the doctor was obviously amused by the stupidity of the press and appeared to take pleasure in praising Trump so he could see their heads exploding.
One can’t help but wonder why so many staffers have tested positive for covid, but in the absence of evidence it’s speculation.
It does provide some data about what happens after someone tests positive for covid, for which our progressive regressives are predictably incurious. How many people who test positive get sick and how sick; are they hospitalized? How many die?
Not many and Trump who clearly got the bug has rebounded quickly, despite the media’s hope and nonsense about contradictory health messaging they themselves concocted with another anonymous expert advisor and omitting positive comments.
We’ll never know if there was some nefarious covid collectivist who infected Trump’s people, at least not before election day.
But it’s out there people have to admit these Dems are capable of such miscreance.
Meanwhile Trump, against his haters’ hopes, recovers from covid.
Oh, but the media says, he “was” on oxygen. So was Joe, also in the past, when he didn’t have nurses breathing air into his nostrils.
The best they can do is accuse Trump of selfishly reassuring Americans about his health as he exposes their covid conspiracy.
Actually a 5th column second wave. This is a desperate lot. How long before Hiden Biden tries to put a lid on further debates?
I would review the tapes looking for a Clousseau-esque waiter with a thick Chinese accent who removed his mask to cough.
Let’s face it, these creeps couldn’t organize a proper paedophile ring without someone suiciding it all up.
Although given that history of success, planting a virus with a 98% survival rate. That makes sense.
“Everything is on the table. Everything. ” Cuck Schumer.
I think this qualifies as a “thing”.
4 years ago I would have summarily dismissed this theory. BUT today, knowing what these modern commie Dems are capable of, I believe this is a highly plausible theory.
Lest I be accused of conspiracy nuttiness:
After reading Bugliosi’s essential magnum opus about the JFK assasination, Reclaiming History —which solved a couple of lingering puzzles—I continue to believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
Gerald Posner’s “Case Closed” does a good job of debunking, as well. Two different types of conspiracy theories at work. One trying to debunk a theory by explaining what should be the obvious conclusion and another trying to explain a series of extremely unlikely events that point to some mysterious collusion?
Posner is a fraud artist who refuses to listen to any evidence that contradicts his own “theories”. Beware the man who makes vast sums of cash demanding everyone close their eyes and their minds. Although I’m sure the corrupt FBI and the CIA agree with MR. Posner”s “theories.. Before it was shut down in the 1970″s the House Assassination Committee came the conclusion that there was at least one other gunman present that day in Dealy Plaza an admittance of a probable conspiracy to kill the president.
Ha! Of course, you haven’t read the book, just an Amazon review. You probably believe that the US knocked down the towers in order to steal Iraqi oil. Oswald didn’t need help. I could have made that shot. This is from that committee’s findings, by the way. Which you also didn’t read or read very selectively. What you say is mere speculation because idiots can’t accept the facts.
This was established as fact and the only thing established as fact. What you claim was stated as “a high probability” totally without proof.
“I.A. Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots at President John F. Kennedy. The second and third shots he fired struck the President. The third shot he fired killed the President”
The only conspiracy, if there was one, was the coverup that a communist, acting alone, killed the President. If they had have said that it may have meant war with the Russians.
Well your emotional womanly outburst is hardly proof that Oswald acted alone, it simply confirms that you are convinced of your own beliefs and that you will hysterically piss all over yourself if someone else disagrees with you and Posner’s “theories”. You should write a book on how to wet yourself. Posner is a contrarian conspiratorial twat and nothing more. The CIA shits out disinformation turds like Posner every day. The Church Commission found many discrepancies in how the Kennedy assassination investigation was carried out and stated clearly that the FBi and the CIA were derelict in their duty to investigate the assassination thoroughly and that they were both far less than truthful during the Warren Commission farce. The House Assassination Committee report on Kennedy was incomplete at best, full of holes with many questions left unanswered, shutdown with no definitive answers, but they did conclude a second shooter acted that day, whether you like that fact or not is irrelevant. There is no proof of any kind that Oswald acted alone, that is a fact. The Warren Commission started with the conclusion that “Oswald acted alone” and ended with that same conclusion. They got the answer they went looking for and nothing more. Stop shitting yourself because I don’t agree with your, nothing to see here “theories”.
there was also a couple of white house pool reporters that tested positive, did they test positive before or after the press secretary?
Well Duh! Who gets to tell you that you tested positive? How can you contradict them?
Gee, the Dems were able to utilize the CIA, FBI and DOJ to create an illusion of Trump russia collusion as well as persecute Gen Flynn – and they did this with the help of foreign nationals from at least 3 other countries. (plus a fake impeachment)
Getting someone to lick the doorknobs (or some such equivelant) seems pretty easy by comparison.
I’ve seen a video where someone was wiping the POTUS debate podium sides and Mic wire but didn’t do Bidens. A little weird.
Like someone has already pointed out the Dems are capable of anything which they’ve already proved by snuffing out Seth Rich.
Spare me the gobbly gook about how there’s not a scintilla of evidence to support the accusation because quite frankly some of us don’t need a weatherman to tell us it’s raining.
burton, as has been suggested on other posts, there were perhaps several people at the pre debate event setting things up, that may have also been covid carriers. If they got into the separated Presidential green room, and had an opportunity to sneeze a few times, rub spit, and body fluids on the soft furniture covers and carpets, maybe even the arms of the couches???? As others have said, a few years ago, I would not have believed they could stoop so low, but now, these democrats have no place so low that they won’t go, and this ain’t poetry, this is our current reality!
We are living in dangerous times, and if anyone thinks the Dems won’t cheat, lie, steal and kill, to seize power, then they’ve been living under a rock or they are deluded.
Look no further than the unmitigated LIES and THEATRE of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing! Speaking of Democrats willingness to “do anything necessary” to get their way. I have no doubt this was a biological attack on Republican leadership.
No. There are no coincidences … or so very few of them as to be the LAST thing to consider.
Duh.
We have learnt in the last decades,there is no lower limit to “How Low will a Demonically Possessed Person go”?
Evil exists and comforts its miserable progressive existence by projecting the vile and pernicious upon the innocent.
The Trump effect again.
% years ago this kind of stuff would be “conspiracy theory” ,now we have evidence that much of the madness is true.
So is it still a “conspiracy” when they boast about doing it?
sources say “An unidentified woman in a shower curtain like muumuu was seen exiting the basement of the White house carrying a large aerosol can who’s contents is unknown at this time”
The person was later revealed to be an especially overweight Homer Simpson. Or was is Jerry Nadler? Just kidding so relax.
Tip of iceberg.
Ah, if you don’t kill your enemy, your enemy WILL kill you. That has been the truth since mankind, not people kind, first walked on planet earth and will be the same as long as humans exist. Now make a list of your enemies and see just how hard this is going to be.
vowg@2:19…..I call it “the Lapua List” (the list of people that need to be on the “receiving end” of a Lapua .338 sniper rifle)!
John Post, I can’t afford that much .338 Lapua ammo, that stuff ain’t cheap, like eight or nine bucks a round in Canada, I have a rifle in that caliber. I would suggest using, for the most part, the.762 X 39 round for the job mostly, and the .338 Lapua for um,… select appointments.
Conspiracy theories are like peanuts. You can’t swallow just one:
The Hitler Conspiracies — why are Nazi myths flourishing?
Modern societies are awash in conspiracy theories. This year a tidal wave of pseudoscientific and paranoid nonsense about the coronavirus pandemic has swept the world. Some of it has merged with the disturbingly bizarre QAnon fantasy, according to which President Donald Trump is fighting a secret war against a caste of devil-worshipping paedophiles. […]
For more than 70 years, various tenacious myths have swirled around the Third Reich
In The Hitler Conspiracies, Evans recounts the history of five theories, demolishes their credibility and assesses their lasting importance. They include
the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an early-20th-century forgery alleging a worldwide Jewish conspiracy;
the “stab in the back” legend, which blames Germany’s defeat in the first world war on domestic traitors;
the myth that the Nazis caused the 1933 Reichstag fire;
Rudolf Hess’s flight to Scotland in 1941, falsely depicted as a genuine Nazi peace bid or a plot concocted by British intelligence; and, lastly, Hitler’s supposed postwar life in South America.

Does anyone else find it odd that no prominent Democrats have had the virus but the list of Republicans goes on and on?
Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich
IF ONLY THERE WERE SOME SIMPLE EXPLANATION
Right Dizzy,the simple answer is “Zombies don’t get viruses”.
And the demonically possessed would not know the difference.
Just like that freak Dan Savage that volunteered at a republican campaign 20 years ago and proceeded to lick absolutely everything he could while having the flu to make the candidate and his workers sick. We know all about it because to get his lefty cred he bragged about it afterward.
It appears some who test positive for covid don’t spread it. Others are super spreaders. The Trump WH must have had a super spreader in their midst.
I have never been a conspiracy nut. Until it is the only logical conclusion to draw. I could well expect a few news reporters getting covid and surviving without incident. That is very plausible given what we know about the virus. However when the entire upper echelon of the Republican party is infected seemingly at the same time and absolutely ZERO democrats test positive…… Now I might have been born at night but it wasn’t last night and yes there are arrows in my quiver.
Joe the Albertan, that’s a Hmmmm, its definitely a thing to ponder huh!
In what crazy universe is this not a logical conclusion of these people mass gathering in close quarters with no masks or social distancing? If it is some nefarious evil democrat plot then these republicans sure made their job pretty goddamn easy.
The media “crime scene” photos of all the Republicans who SIMULTANEOUSLY !!!! contracted the CHICOM Flu belies the storyline … who or what infected them? All at the same time and place?
I’m waiting for the contact trace of infectious agent zero.
Still waiting.
Correlation is not causation.
And any middle schooler can make kewl photo overlays of INFECTED !!!! Attendees at a WH Garden gathering for AC Barrett. Meaningless photos.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor
Hanlon’s razor is a principle or rule of thumb that states, “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity”.[1] Known in several other forms, it is a philosophical razor which suggests a way of eliminating unlikely explanations for human behavior.
In this case, it is the stupidity of the republicans who insisted that masks and other preventive measures are unnecessary and, in many case, prevented people from using them at their events even if they wanted to. Democrats are not perfect in this regard but when it comes to reducing the odds of virus transmission partial compliance is better than no compliance.
IOW, no mystery, no coincidence, just stupidity.
That razor slices both ways … for example, those Democrats who actually BELIEVE a mask will defeat an airborne virus. If they weren’t all living as shut-ins … they would learn just how ineffective their masks actually were
Yes, masks are so ineffective that a surgeon would never consider operating without one even though they only block 50% of the droplets coming out of the surgeon’s mouth.
Masks are used to prevent transmission from the mask wearer to others. More importantly, they don’t need to be 100% effective to be useful. A masks that only block some of the droplets reduces the amount of virus that is spread which, in turn, greatly reduces the likelihood of someone else catching the virus.
Its all about playing the odds. Given the relatively minor inconvenience of a masks wearing one is a worthwhile bet. More importantly, we have a real time medical study going on where senior republicans volunteered to be the control group. Given the rate of infection among senior republicans it seems like the data is telling that masks make a difference!
What are these droplets you speak of? The CDC … JUST NOW!!!! … 9-months after lecturing us to BELIEVE!!! in their every utterance of “science” and “data” … finally admits the CHI-COM virus transmits via aerosol. You best dispense with the droplet myth … lest you lull yourself into some FALSE sense of mask-security.
Yes, I am glad all the nurses and doctors participating in my hip replacement surgery wore masks. If my Surgeon felt the need to sneeze … there would be some medium between his sneeze and my open wound. But I am even MORE pleased that I received antibiotic agents. And that all the instruments were sterilized. And that the entire operating room theatre was sterilized. And that the surgeon didn’t leave gauze in my new hip joint. You see Timmahh … masks … are really the LEAST important of all the multiple layers of protections we afford Doctors, and Patients from infectious and biological agents. Only simpletons BELIEVE … masks will save all.
That is the thing about COVID-19; only morons are still thinking it’s an extinction level event. It is just not that dangerous. My aunt knew one person who died, a lady she met at a master’s track meet in Spain or someplace, 87 or something at time of death. That is the only fatality anyone I know, personally knew the person who died.
The fact they think using an average to weak sauce virus on their enemies is going to get one? Proves they are stupid enough to believe their own lies.
If its not so dangerous why is Trump wasting so many taxpayer dollars on experimental treatments?
Why doesn’t he just stay in bed for a day or two as if he had a flu?
Isn’t he man enough to get over this “mild” disease on his own?
Yes, COVID is thankfully not very deadly but it spreads quickly and it is very deadly to some people. It is easy to say you don’t give a damn if someone you don’t know dies but a lot of people can empathize and understand that until we have a better way to stop the insanely fast transmission of this virus we need to deal with it old school. That means masks and social distancing.
From Tucker Carlson tonight … the AVERAGE age of a COVID virus death is 78.2 years old. The average age of death from all causes … is 78.4 years old
Fear porn. Fascism in the name of “health emergency”
Be afraid. Be VERY afraid of the NEXT … “health emergency” … and the fascist power grab that follows.
Yep. A crisis does not change people; it reveals them.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db355-h.pdf
In 2017 and 2018, deaths in the USA, from all causes, was about 731 per 100,000 per year.
https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/us-population/
Population 2018 327.1 million, 2017 325.1 million.
So, they keep screaming about “200,000 deaths”, when they were just having “the President is gonna die!” parties. OK. 200k deaths, out of a population of 330 million, is like 0.0017 per 1000 people per year.
It is almost like they are all lying, and they know it. Which would make them evil. People who extend “the benefit of the doubt” to people who are known to be evil? I will leave that to you to decide.
