He feels great! Better than he has in 20 years!

You know what causes euphoria? Being on steroids.

It typically takes two weeks MINIMUM to recover from a COVID infection, normally closer to two months. So right now he's shedding active virus particles. He's taken an experimental monoclonal antibody treatment - which is not a cure - it just ramps up your defenses, which extremely few people have access to BECAUSE IT'S EXPERIMENTAL, and no one knows exactly what his prognosis is because he's on an experimental treatment program! He's infecting everyone he's in contact with: aides, his wife, Secret Service, White House staff. Not just exposing them, actually shedding live virus particles on them. He's not wearing a mask.

"The virus isn't a big deal!" Tell that to 210,000 dead people. Tell that to loved ones who had to say goodbye over Facetime and Zoom who didn't get to hold them for over two weeks, or who never got to say goodbye because they died on a ventilator on an induced coma.

They need to invoke the 25th right now and put him back in the hospital. But they won't. So he'll keep going until he collapses, and then he'll go right back in the hospital. Or he'll die.

They need to either cancel the Presidential debate or lock him in a room by himself with a fixed camera and monitors. I'd do the same with the Veep debate tomorrow.

Honestly, I don't want him to die. I want him to get his ass thoroughly kicked in November, so there's no doubt that he and his four years have been thoroughly repudiated and we can get back to reforging international relationships and Making America Great Again.

Yet another felled by cancer. Some fascinating things from the Rolling Stone article: I did not know he was born in the Netherlands! Considering his name, I shouldn't be surprised.

He met David Lee Roth because he owned a PA system that he rented every weekend for $35 while getting paid $50 for gigs, it was cheaper to get him in the band.
