Wishing people who harm and injure others good health isn’t actually virtuous.
If there was a coyote killing schoolchildren in your neighborhood and it fell ill, you wouldn’t wish the coyote a speedy recovery.
If someone is responsible for 210,000 deaths, it’s okay to not invest energy in rooting for them.

After all, there are 210,000 families who could use that energy.

If your religion asks you to tend to the assailants so they can create more victims, reevaluate your religion.
That philosophy favors abusers.

It does nothing for the abused and does nothing to reduce future abuse.

It’s okay to have only indifference for societally damaging peoples’ wellbeing.

It is effectively antisocial to wish them well at others’ inevitable expense.

At some point, a narcissist’s whole shtick implodes. Their fragile, porcelain facade cracks in too many places. They lose control of the narrative. They double down on increasingly unbelievable things.

And then the monument topples and the pigeons finally scatter.

1/
There are always a few diehard hangers-on but they lose the crowd.

It has been so long with Trump - and his cult is so brainwashed by a propaganda machine bigger than him - I had more or less given up on his implosion ever coming.

2/
It feels like we’re finally there though.

His routine has run its course.

It has been too much for too long; and it has been too much all at once.

His debate tantrum was eye-opening to people usually tunneled in on watching only Trump with no one beside him as contrast.

People suggesting there is a massive conspiracy where Trump - an impulsive idiot - is ingeniously pulling off a long con and faking COVID while hundreds of people at the White House and Walter Read are all super secret accomplices...

Hello? Did you hear how that sounds?
Seriously, if you are so twisted by your feelings about Trump that you think an entire staff at Walter Read is playing along with a moron’s long scheme (to do... what exactly?) it might be worth taking a long walk in the fresh air today.

That’s QAnon-level irrational.
Trump’s admin leaks like a fucking sieve.

The guy did everything possible to get himself a case of COVID.

It’s a miracle he didn’t have it earlier.

It doesn’t take 286-dimensional chess to accept that an idiot played with fire and is now being treated for burns.

I’m somewhat obsessed with photography of late, so let’s have some fun with this one.

Digital pics embed information called “EXIF data”.

That data includes a timestamp and various other bits of info about the picture. It can be stripped out but there’s no reason to usually.

1/
The White House distributed pictures of Trump alleging he was working yesterday.

The pictures were taken in two different settings using a small set of props arranged to look as if they were two different scenes.

2/
The EXIF data shows the pics were taken ten minutes apart.

So, for real, Donald Trump had his staff expose themselves to his COVID to setup a staged scene for a posed pic...

...and then had them sweep up the props and do it again at another location.

The White House never tells the straight truth.

The hey always exaggerate in the direction they believe beneficial to Trump.

If they say he has *mild* symptoms, the one sure thing is that he does not, in fact, have mild symptoms.

1/
Based on the Trump’s White House Always Lies (TWHAL) principle, Trump either has *no symptoms* or he has *worse than mild* symptoms.

If it were the former - he had no symptoms - claiming he did wouldn’t be the helpful exaggeration.

They’d say he was negative altogether.

2/
If Trump were asymptomatic, they would try to get away with never disclosing he tested positive.

Therefore, since they did disclose it and also disclosed he had mild symptoms, according to the TWHAL principle, he has worse symptoms than we know.

Put money on it.

Alright, I'm going to watch the debate and tweet and stuff, so feel free to follow along or mute this thread if you'd rather not.

I have one large Taj Mahal lager and three or four Belgian ales. This feels, perhaps, insufficient.

Anyway, off we go...

1/
The question of the night is:

Who is going to show up - Speedfreak Trump or Sammy Sedate Trump?

I'm betting on Speedfreak Trump. He wants to be "on" tonight. So, he'll be redlining on some prescription crank of one kind or another.

2/
I will be watching along on MSNBC but may swing over to CNN if studio cut-ins get annoying.

The debate hasn't started yet and I'm already annoyed by it.

This bodes poorly for my mood-state throughout. This may be a bumpy ride.

The next installment: A failure at business; a success only at slapping his endorsement on any cheeseball product that paid him.
Trump is really gonna hate this one too.
The TL;DR summary of the Times’ story:

Trump made a lot of money briefly from pretending to be a success on The Apprentice...

...and just like he did with his inheritance, he blew all the money on losing projects that are now hemorrhaging money and deeply in debt.
