I've been trying to stay out of political discussions. I've seen people celebrating Trump claiming to have Covid. I admit my first thought was that it was a lie. He's had his physicians lie to the public about his health in the past & there are multiple reasons why lying about this would benefit him.
1. It distracts the media/public from his taxes, not condemning Putin over bounties on US troops, how much of a suckfest the "debates" were (IMO everyone lost - including the viewers for having to watch that drivel), audio recordings of Melania in what I suspect are illegally recorded phone conversations, garners support/rallying/sympathy for Trump, gets him out of future debates where they can mute his mic.
I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole debates but what I did see was awful. Two old men shouting over one another & a moderator who couldn't keep control. There was no actual debating & I wanted both of them to shut up. It really gets me down that these are our two options for president & I don't like either of them.
If Trump actually has Covid, I hope it will only be a mild case & I hope he didn't infect other people. I especially hope his minor son is OK bc he is a complete innocent in all of this & should be left the hell alone by the media. You all know I am no fan of Trump and I believe he's a criminal. His tax returns are a perfect example of what money laundering and tax evasion look like on paper. Another reason I want him to live is so when he is no longer president, he can be held on trial (a fair trial) & have a jury or judge decide whether he's guilty or innocent so there can be justice. I also want to see people in Congress (both Democrats & Republicans) go to trial for their BS. I want term limits & Citizen's United revisited & for these schmucks to be out of office so we can get some new people in & not let anyone get bribes or get lifelong careers out of Congress. It wasn't ever intended to be a career when it first started. I also think in the future that anyone running for Congress and/or President (including VP) should have to be able to pass the same background checks for security clearance that federal employees and military personnel have to pass to get clearance. If they can't pass, they can't be trusted w/ those positions & need to find other jobs. If someone gets convicted of a felony in office they should be immediately kicked out. I don't care what party, a felony should be disqualifying. If recent felons can't vote for president they shouldn't be able to vote in Congress.
I know both sides are going to be insulting one another. The people who are mad at those cheering about Trump having Covid are some of the same ones who cheered RBG having cancer and who celebrated her death. I'm not going to stoop to wishing ill on anyone or celebrating anyone's death. It's not healthy to hold that kind of bitterness & hatred bc ultimately these are human beings with loved ones who care about them.
If Biden wins, I don't expect any significant change to improve the country. He will still let big pharma and medical companies gouge us. He won't try to improve healthcare. He won't do anything for the black community. He will try to keep status quo. I will be surprised if he actually does anything else. But really, I am so sick of politicians right now. I realize they are necessary in the long run, but ugh.... I don't like them. We need to start electing real people instead of the lizards.
Ok, I'm done ranting. LOL.
