I have mixed loyalties . My family is mostly Navy . But I lived near West Point for years and the cadets were my local college team.

Navy won

Clueless Joe did not attend the game . Presidents don't attend every game . But every President since Truman has attended the game except Ike . He played in the game as a cadet but never attended it as President .

What is peculiar about Clueless Joe not attending is the purported reason for him skipping the game . Word is out that he did not go because he did not want to hear the chants of 'Let's Go Brandon' . and FJB

[Wondergirl]

And his attendance plus his laughing, cheering response each time would have been a perfect ploy!

[tomder55]

Well we already know his minions will do what they can to prevent him from such exposure . The compliant press let him get away with a campaign from his basement. Peppermint Patty Psaki continuously lies on his behalf. Now we know that Clueless Joe's propagandists have contacted the compliant press demanding that they give a positive spin to all the bad news . Don Lemon of Commie News Network ;who did not report his involvement in the Jusse Smollett case , gushed over pennies reduction in the gas prices .

It was early-on during the pandemic. We all were supposed to lay low. His basement was finished and very livable. He was lying low. A good example!

[tomder55]

It was not early in the pandemic. After he was nominated, he had 2 months in the campaign season that was 7 months after the pandemic started. EVERY other candidate for all offices on the ticket managed to meet and greet constituents; and engage with the press. His convention speech was delivered to a near empty room in Delaware. His remarks after being declared President were given to a parking lot full of honking cars.

He would never have gotten away with that without the compliant press giving him cover Slime Magazine bragged about the cabal that rigged the election.

He still gets away with it. He just had a virtual summit with Putin (who ate Clueless Joe's lunch) .

And who got covid and nearly died?

[jlisenbe]

Please don't tell me you are going to say that Trump nearly died from Covid.

[Wondergirl]

Please don't tell me you are going to say that Trump nearly died from Covid.

Reports say he was very, very sick. And yes, he could have died.

[jlisenbe]

All of that, as I understand it, came from one wildly speculative book. There is nothing official to support it. He spent 3 nights in Walter Reed and came home. Doesn't sound like coming close to dying to me, but he did become fairly sick.

[tomder55]

irrelevant Trump campaigned..... Clueless Joe did not because he did not have to because he had the compliant press covering his a$$ ,

There were reports at the time plus occasionally since then. He hates to appear weak so refused to allow the truth to be told.

[jlisenbe]

Reports from who?

[Wondergirl]

Reports from who?

I didn't save them. I remember medical people scurrying around, then finally got him into the hospital after making him take in oxygen. His oxygen level was only in the 80s, I remember. (Oxygen saturation is one if my hematologist's concerns. Thankfully, my level is always above 96%.)

[jlisenbe]

A person kind of remembering she heard some things does not equate to a man almost dying. He was ill for certain, and that much is certainly true, but I see no reason to believe he nearly died.

[Wondergirl]

I see no reason to believe he nearly died.

He's obese and out of shape and has a horrible diet. Covid loves people like that.

[tomder55]

How do you explain Clueless Joe making a virtual appearance on the Late Show ? It is well past the early-on pandemic . He is double vaxed and had a booster ; and wears masks everywhere . Even when he is in a live setting he sits 10 feet or more away from direct contact . The reality is that he is carefully controlled and does not make his own calls . He is told what to say and when to say it

Fallon of course did his job,which was to offer the president a friendly national platform without challenging him in any capacity.Clueless repeated his oft told lie that Build Brandon Better will not cost anything. Fallon did his cheerleader act telling Clueless that he's "bringing class back to the presidency." On the same day that we were told that inflation had reached a 40 year high ;Clueless did not speak to a serious journalist .He sought the shelter of a late night comic .

[jlisenbe]

He's obese and out of shape and has a horrible diet. Covid loves people like that.

You have no idea what his diet is. As for the rest, that is still no indication he nearly died. You just went way overboard with that one.

[Wondergirl]

You have no idea what his diet is.

As president, McDonald's was on his daily meal order. And if his oxygen reading was really in the 80s (thus the oxygen tank he used before being hospitalized), he was sinking quickly -- thus the rush to the hospital.

[jlisenbe]

And if his oxygen reading was really in the 80s

"If". Biggest word in the world.

As president, McDonald's was on his daily meal order

You know this how?

[jlisenbe]

The problem you and I frequently have is simple. You make these huge statements on the extreme order of, "The president was about to die!!!" But when you need to support those statements, we get "ifs" and conjecture about McDonalds. That's not to say you might not be right. It's possible, but not much more than just guesswork.
