@Teiman

you can say whatever about the baron but he knew what he was doing (he only had bad luck)

C’mon any competent Mentat should’ve realized that most of the Guild’s spice was coming from the Fremen.

The Baron only used Mentats that told him what he wanted to hear.

If Harris is going to go through with this farce, she should insist that she and Pence be at least 20 feet apart.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Dexamethasone that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion

maybe he did not cared - he was a specialist into forcing other people to do his will

Anybody got an estimated timeline that explains when the worst of Trump’s COVID infection should present itself?

[PreachyPreach]

Judging by his tweeting today…

[Stepsongrapes]

If the Rs are Harkonnens and the Ds are the Atreides, who are the Ordos?! And more importantly, what are those sneaky bastards up to, at this moment?

Also, speaking of mentats, while Herbert wrote an amazing book with Dune, his leveling system, sucks. Paul clearly went jack-of-all trades/multi-class with levels in mentat/bene geserat/fremen fighter/prophet, but it didn’t seem to slow his leveling down, at all.

I’m not sure about Trump’s timeline. But I am confident that Stephen Miller’s timeline will depend on when he molts.

[antlers]

I think if he takes a turn for the worse, it would be 7-10 days after first symptoms, so between now and Saturday? I think there’s probably a 90% chance he’s going to be fine, though.

[BiggerBoat]

For all we know, he was low-grade symptomatic in the week before the debate.

If there is any thread on here that needs an exception and allows “Likes” it’s this one. ;)

Libertarians of course.

Herman Cain’s timeline

6/24: Attends Trump rally, maskless
7/2: Tests positive for Covid-19
7/10: Says he’s improving
7/15: Says his doctors seem happy
7/27: Says he’s really getting better
7/30: Dies

This week could be rough, end of the month through election day will be something to watch out for?

When did Cain enter the ICU though?

@Ginger_Yellow

When did Cain enter the ICU though?

Early July to get oxygen, and I’m sure he didn’t get a polyclonal anything, so…

This is a longer timeline than I realized… so you’re suggesting there’s a chance he survives long enough to lose the election badly and then succumbs to illness?

[Mark_Asher]

That’s an interesting scenario. If Trump lost the election and then croaked, it would seem fitting to seat Biden early. I suspect that Pence would be the temporary president, however.
