They released a statement saying that Dr Conley cleared him for public activity starting Saturday

That pretty much confirms he was infected at the Rose Garden Massacre right? That would be exactly two weeks

I posted a thread earlier that noted that people who take steroids are likely infectious for longer; he should definitely not be cleared in the standard amount of time without negative tests. In fact, if we believe the WH that Trump wasn't symptomatic until last Thursday, his ten day period wouldn't be up until Sunday.

Here are the CDC criteria:
  • For most persons with COVID-19 illness, isolation and precautions can generally be discontinued 10 days after symptom onset1 and resolution of fever for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medications, and with improvement of other symptoms.
  • A limited number of persons with severe illness may produce replication-competent virus beyond 10 days that may warrant extending duration of isolation and precautions for up to 20 days after symptom onset; consider consultation with infection control experts.
  • For persons who never develop symptoms, isolation and other precautions can be discontinued 10 days after the date of their first positive RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 RNA.

Apparently more than twice as many votes have already been cast for the election compared to this same time four years ago. The way I read this can't be good news for Trump, but who knows?

Honestly, maybe slamming Trump for his racism and misogyny before he took office wasn't such a great idea seeing how that turned out to be merely the tip of the iceberg. He's an incompetent buffoon that stands for absolutely nothing. Even Bush stood for something, even if it's something I detested! For all I know maybe many Americans back Trump just because they're total nihilists.

it's way higher than "twice as many as this time in 2016" lol

like over an order of magnitude off (as of Sunday the US Elections Project had 3.3 million votes already cast vs. 74,836 at the same point in 2016; As of this morning's update the 2020 count is at 7.9m votes cast)

While it's probably not good for Trump, comparing early vote at this point vs. 2016 isn't really a meaningful comparison on a number of levels. To the extent it points to a historically high turnout, which the argument for that certainly exists, that's bad news for Trump (and Republicans in general) because in general higher turnout favors Democrats.

But 2020 is such a unique year given the pandemic that it's a bit hard to try and make previous election comparisons in a direct manner. Democrats are returning absentee ballots at a higher rate than Republicans so far though which is historically unusual. Make of that what you will.

Historically absentee ballots have been mostly military (more often republican than democrat) but this year there's also people who take COVID seriously (more often democrats than republicans).

That Dems are requesting them at a higher rate is unsurprising giving that as a party they're more likely to take COVID safety precautions more seriously. But I'm talking about returning ballots as a percentage of total requested.

In 2016 Florida, for instance, ~6000 more Democrats than Republicans requested a mail ballot but ~58,000 more Republicans than Democrats returned mail ballots. As a % of requested ballots, Republicans typically return them at a higher rate.

However in 2020 Florida as of Sunday, Democrats have returned 11.5% (~282k out of ~2.4m) of their requested ballots so far compared to 8.7% of Republicans (~146k of 1.7m)

That's the unusual thing so far and can be seen across multiple states, including red states.

Katy: "They highly recommend them, they say-"
dude: "Really? Go back and read it, it doesn't say that."
Katy: "The CDC Director yesterday said a mask can be more effective than a vaccine for some people."
dude: "The CDC didn't say that."
Katy: "The CDC Director did yesterday."
dude: "No they didn't."
Katy: "I'm not trying to argue with you, he did."

Okay so on the relief bill. Trump has supposedly re-submitted an new offer. He has increased his offer to 1.8 trillion. He says he wants a deal at all odds.

McConnell has reportedly made asides that Trump is desperate and that whatever bill they make will probably not pass the Senate. On the record he has said he thinks no deal will be done before the election. It's been stated that McConnell and the Senate know that Trump is done and don't care to tie themselves to his sinking ship.

Everyone's favorite! More email related news!

https://www.businessinsider.com/documentary-all-under-control-kushner-task-force-2020-10-07

Disclaimer I haven't had time to read the entire thing, but the first couple paragraphs seem quite disturbing. (Not really because of the emails which is whatever; the rest of it I mean)

"We thought we'd be auxiliary support for an existing procurement team," Kennedy, who is the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, said in the film. "Instead, we were the team."

Kennedy said he and a dozen inexperienced volunteers had become a core component of the US government's efforts to procure PPE.

#DevinWontDebate is trending on twitter which is promising. Devin Nunes has been in congress for 20~ years and has a history of not holding public forums or debating with his political opponents. He's simply coasting on living in a republican bubble in Central California and I really hope this is the end of it for him. I'm so excited to live in his district so I get to vote against Devin Nunes. I'll be dropping off my vote against him in the next week or so. I'm still researching some of the California Props before I make all my decisions final.

Nunes currently has a 97% chance to hold his seat according to 538 so I wouldn't get your hopes up! Like you said, everyone left of center absolutely hates him but he lives in a perfectly isolated little bubble that protects him from almost anything.
