* I am furious.
45 was out in just a cloth mask over the weekend deliberately trying to infect secret service, by forcing them to drive him around in a closed car for photo oops, knowing full well how infectious he was and that he should be in isolation with N95 or equivalent.
He clearly should not be out of the hospital, given his difficulty breathing, but he went back to the white House anyway, taking his mask off before he entered in hopes everyone working there from cleaners to cooks.
He is refusing to contact trace, which would require saying when he last tested negative.
He is refusing to release when he last tested negative. Given his well documented history of lies, who want to bet he lied about having a negative test just before the debate? They won't prove it. They won't send anyone credible to say he was negative last Tuesday. If he was negative, why cover it up? Why not release the test results to prove he didn't deliberately go to knowingly expose Biden? It would be so easy to refute, if he didn't lie to get into the debate while infected. I'm not saying he did, but i think it's a reasonable question, knowing that he went to a buffet fundraiser in New Jersey knowing he'd been extensively exposed and that he is right now breathing on the entire White house staff with an active infection.
There are things I never put in print, but which I will say in person if you know me rl. Imagine me saying them now.

* I am furious.
45 was out in just a cloth mask over the weekend deliberately trying to infect secret service, by forcing them to drive him around in a closed car for photo oops, knowing full well how infectious he was and that he should be in isolation with N95 or equivalent.
He clearly should not be out of the hospital, given his difficulty breathing, but he went back to the white House anyway, taking his mask off before he entered in hopes everyone working there from cleaners to cooks.
He is refusing to contact trace, which would require saying when he last tested negative.
He is refusing to release when he last tested negative. Given his well documented history of lies, who want to bet he lied about having a negative test just before the debate? They won't prove it. They won't send anyone credible to say he was negative last Tuesday. If he was negative, why cover it up? Why not release the test results to prove he didn't deliberately go to knowingly expose Biden? It would be so easy to refute, if he didn't lie to get into the debate while infected. I'm not saying he did, but i think it's a reasonable question, knowing that he went to a buffet fundraiser in New Jersey knowing he'd been extensively exposed and that he is right now breathing on the entire White house staff with an active infection.
There are things I never put in print, but which I will say in person if you know me rl. Imagine me saying them now.
