There's a "not" missing from that sentence.

I would love to see a Dr. Spaceman take on this.

Even the 2020 version of Clue isn't as good as the old one.

I at first thought he was lying because that's what he does. However, he was really sweating up a storm during the debate. And while he has been released from the hospital we all know that everyone says after 4-5 days they felt fine but then it went south quickly after that. I can't wait for this to happen. I am counting down the hours. Took Herman Cain what, 30 days to succumb to the virus? He was the same age and he wasn't overweight. He was getting better and then he wasn't. Trump can parade with all his bravado but he shouldn't get too excited for a complete recovery just yet. I'm rooting for Rona to do it's thang and at the very least just make him scared and suffer.

I call it Trump Fever.

This is so true.

I also don't like the way that "survivor" is tacked onto everything.I had breast cancer, and followed the prescribed treatments.It was fact-based science that saved my life and helped me to survive.(My scientist cousin who has been working on cancer drugs for decades is my hero).

I'm old enough to remember when "survivor" meant you survived the holocaust.

I know he can't live forever, but I'd sure like him to.

I've always hated country music. Spent a year and a half in Nashville in the late 70's, so the concept of Hell doesn't scare me. Still, I've recently added a number of country artists to my playlist. The hitch? They're all women. They have something interesting to say. The men, not so much.

A friend floats the theory that the kids ran the business, set up all the deals, took care of all the paperwork, hired all the contractors, and kept Daddy out of the loop until it was time to sign the final paperwork, because he'd blab about every detail constantly and upset the applecart.

One surefire tell he's lying is when he teases you with something he's going to reveal at a later date. He can't sit on any information he thinks will help him for so much as a moment.

That would sound plausible if any of his deals had actually been successful. Other than renting out his name, he hasn't really made any great deals in his life and most of his business ventures have failed laughably.

My brother works in healthcare, (MRIs), and says that Trump gets the mouth swab test, (Rapid Test?), that is less accurate than the "up your nose" one.
