    zoom could be hacked and those video's get out

    someone on his team could record them with something as simple as a cell phone as well

    edit, sorry, I missed the part about debates, yeah, cnn uses webex, I thought you meant among his team for private conversations

    Injections of what? Be specific.
    Biden is not demented and there is no medication that can make a demented person not look demented.
    The dementia medications at best delay by 6 months the progression of the disease but do not make anybody recover.
    The idea that Biden is pumped full of dementia drugs to perform in a debate is medically absurd.
    Even Tucker Carlson has acknowledged that the emphasis of the Trump campaign in calling Biden demented fell flat after this debate.
    Apparently you didn't get the memo.

    I'm sure the White House and the Secret Service have more sophisticated teleconference equipment than Zoom, with privacy and encryption.

    Sarah Palin was participating in Fox News segments across the country all the way from her Wasilla home here in Alaska waaaaay back in 2010. If they could do that during those archaic times of live-streaming over the Internet, I’m pretty sure that the U.S. government can find a way to enable the President of the United States to participate in another debate.

    How would I know? There are plenty of posters, including one that I called out and then he immediately placed me on Ignore (for not knowing what to say when I pressed him on what medication he was talking about), that kept repeating this campaign talking point. The very Trump campaign wanted drug tests... They did try to push this narrative. I loved the response of the Biden campaign to the request of urine drug tests: "Vice President Biden will respond to debate questions with words. If president Trump wants to do it with urine, he can have it." LOL, brilliant.

    Who knows? Maybe.

    I see no problem with it, as long as Trump agrees to the Moderator option of Mic Mute.

    Godspeed and God Willing...:flagus:

    Potential victims of a Trump-Related Super Spreader Event.

    Hopefully everyone is well.

    Or it could be just another trump stunt to get some sympathy after the debate disaster.

    Maybe he will rethink those crowded rallies and wear that mask more often.

    The president attended a fund raiser today at his Bedminster Golf Club today. The event was closed to the press so there are no pictures but I wonder if there was proper social distancing or mask were worn inside the Golf Club. I wonder if the president wore a mask with the people that paid for the photo op. Regardless I think a lot of very wealthy people are going to be getting tested tomorrow.

    "Highest tier tickets for the event, which includes a roundtable discussion with Trump, photo opportunity and reception, cost $250,000, according to an email sent to potential donors.

    A photo opportunity and reception with the president costs $50,000 while a roundtable with a VIP guest costs $35,000
    ."

    yeah, I had misread the post, I thought he meant for internal communications vs public ones

    public doesn't matter, I mean he uses twitter and anyone can read those

    Who has the most to gain?

    That would be Pence, of course.

    But the CT clowns aren't going to go there!

    Obviously there is no conspiracy but rather just a case of the consequences of unbridled arrogance.

    Like virtually everything else the problems of the wannabe Fascist-in-Chief are SELF INFLICTED.

    As another poster mentioned above I do hope he survives and recovers in time to serve out his time behind bars after being found guilty in a court of law.

    Wow.

    This part:

    "Highest tier tickets for the event, which includes a roundtable discussion with Trump, photo opportunity and reception, cost $250,000, according to an email sent to potential donors."

    Imagine the mindset of someone who would pay $250k just to have a pic taken with Trump.

    Anyway, everybody in that room needs to be tested.

    Most world leaders issued concerned statements about the pandemic. Very few minimized it. Among the very few: Prime Minister Boris Johnson of the United Kingdom, President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, and President Donald Trump of the United States. All three got infected by the virus.

    Maybe Trump thinks the election needs to be postponed again...

    Oh no, that is soooo unfortunate!

    Wait and see.

    Not surprising.

    Schadenfreude is a very common theme on Twitter.

    Great. Postpone it.

    If NO Federal Election is held (for any office), Trump's term expires on January 20th (regardless).

    Then, a Dem. Senator would become President.

    Works for me.
