🤮 Coronavirus (Community Thread)

We all knew that this nearly-exact sequence of events was completely inevitable, right? My roommate told me the news earlier after I heard him cheer from the other room like he’d won money.

The number of positive tests are racking up. So far a Senator on the Judiciary committee and the president of Notre Dame… both at the Saturday announcement of ACB as nominee.

And now the RNC Chairwoman.

Dumb and callous.

President Trump said he is shutting down negotiations for a new coronavirus economic relief bill and won’t support a new stimulus package until after the election.

What is postponing the stimulus package until after the election supposed to do? I honestly do not understand this. This makes no sense. None. This is his chance to say he’s seen the light on his own terms and go “You want $2T? How about $3T? Democrats WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW” and make the rest of the GOP look like assholes if they don’t comply. This is his chance to be the hero.

Trump loves to showboat, he could have used this stimulus package to win hearts and minds all across the country right before election day, as even the people who hate him would have to give him credit for his generosity on this. He may even have been able to win the election on this alone. When Trump says he won’t look at one till after election day, and Biden says as soon as he’s in office he’ll sign one, Trump loses the upper hand because everyone knows that while Trump’s would have been faster, Biden’s will be better.

He just threw a winning narrative out the window in favor of doubling down to own some libs, and it was such an obvious power play just as the election is ramping up. Like I don’t… these people… arghhhh… just… some internal consistency would be nice.

Maybe he’s really high? I’m serious.

Have we hit bottom yet?

I don’t think there is a bottom, not until he is out of office or dies. Maybe not even then.

We’ll have the discovery phase.

He’s a contrarian…and what has been quoted from some people today…he wants to enact revenge, or burn down “the house” to an extent.

It fits no one’s logic…and difficult to even use that as a consideration, he’s off the charts…roid rage people are calling it…who knows?
It is very Shakespearean if you think about it. Makes no sense, but he is guided by his emotions and he does not want to do anyone any favors, particularly Pelosi.

It’s all so ironic, she’s offering him a huge stimulus less than 30 days from Election Day, which would make him look good on economics but he’s just throws it back in her face.

You’re right, it has to be Shakespearean or a Greek Tragedy.

Could this have anything to do with it? He is losing by a huuuuge gap. He does not like any bit of it.

Sure but how does doing this make that better? People like getting money and paying rent. Give them those things and at this point they will fall all over you because we need this so badly. It’s just so stupid.

It’s not that he’s doing some crazy cruel thing at random, that happens all the time. It’s that not doing this particular thing is like looking at some gold you’ve just been handed and throwing it away because someone you don’t like wants you to have it.
