At least so far.

The Oct. 7 vice presidential debate between Republican Vice President Mike Pence and Democratic U.S. Senator Kamala Harris will go ahead despite President Donald Trump’s testing positive for the coronavirus, the debate commission said on Friday.
Pence and Harris announced separately on Friday that they had tested negative for COVID-19. A source at the Commission on Presidential Debates, which oversees the events, said there were no plans to scrap the running mates’ debate in Utah on Wednesday.
In light of the Trump diagnosis, the Biden campaign brought up concerns about this debate.

The Biden campaign has raised health concerns about the vice presidential debate slated to take place next Wednesday to the Commission on Presidential Debates, in light of President Trump testing positive for Covid-19, a source familiar with those conversations said.
Amid negotiations with the commission about the terms of the Kamala Harris-Mike Pence face-off, the Biden campaign expressed opposition to the podiums being spaced seven feet apart, and asked that they be 12 feet apart instead, the source said.
The Biden campaign sees the podium-spacing issue as a “very serious concern,” the source added.
I am not going to lie, at this point, I do not want either Harris or Biden to be anywhere near the Trump folks.
I think there is still a good chance that Pence comes up positive, and I only hope that they discover that before the debate and not after it.
The policy moving forward should be that all of these debates be held on Zoom and that there is no in-person communication until the virus has been handled, and let’s face it that will not be until Biden and Harris take over.
People should be acting as if any personal interactions that they have may prove fatal, because, you know, any personal interactions they have may prove fatal.
I can hear it now, “you can’t attack him, he’s fighting for his very life!”
Which is another reason why, until there’s actual proof, I don’t believe this Walter Reed trip for one minute.
Whomever posted yesterday postulating about his first tweet from there was almost spot on.
‘Going Well, I Think! Thank You to All. LOVE!!!’
He forgot ‘your favorite president.”
Sorry, but no pass for him.
If he can call dead soldiers losers and suckers when they’re in the grave then we have a right to wish him bad tidings. Since the stupid mutherfuker called the whole thing a hoax then I guess he can’t claim the virus for himself.
Joining the rest of the more than 200,000 Americans who died a miserable death. The least he can do.
POS
IMO any audience is unacceptable because of Trump’s family and attendees agreeing to then breaking the rules refusing to wear masks.
Biden campaign needs to refuse any audience. The Harris family and team need to watch remotely in a room and Pence entourage in another.
Trump admin can’t not be trusted
Will he be on stage with Mother Pence? Kamala will only be 12 feet away, and you know, she could easily hurl a Late Third Term Fetus Baby off her naked breasts at him before she has a chance to intervene.
Yep, the WH lies and Pence could still test positive, who knows where he will be in the mean time.
Since they do not have the courtesy nor civility to inform the Biden campaign of positive test results.
Also trump refused the “check in” protocol at Case Western, from now on they should tell them follow the rules or get the hell out, that goes for family members and entourage also.
Hope Dicks was positive, and running around town infecting everyone and their mother.
But Jesus will take care of it, right
According to frankie graham. It’s god will if they get the covid. .I suppose that there god wants them all dead??? Never sure what these folks want , as the god goes back and forth a lot. Yeah, like it is hypocriical?
Frankie wants money, Pure and simple, $$.
Would it be divine intervention if the Republicans started dropping like flies and the Democrats didn’t?
I wouldn’t put it past the republicans to fake trump’s death, fly him to russia and have the republican legislators vote pence as president,even though Biden wins.

‘A mess’: Here’s why the presidential election could be upended if one of the candidates dies
……While things are not certain, what’s most likely (is) that the election would take place on time with the deceased or incapacitated candidate’s name on the ballot — and then, there would be a question if legislatures would allow presidential electors of each state to vote for someone other than the deceased candidate. Only some state laws provide for this eventuality…. Or perhaps the legislatures would seek to appoint electors directly.”…..
“This could lead to a whole lot of mischief if, say, the Pennsylvania Republican legislature tried, over the Democratic governor’s objection, to appoint electors to vote for Pence — if it were Trump who could no longer be a candidate — despite a vote for the people of Pennsylvania for Biden over Trump.”……

There is a quick fix Kathy Griffin and AOC take the helm.
And they were walking all over the stage with NO MASKS before the debate

Fox Host Suggests Trump Cheated On Pre-Debate COVID Test
The Trump team arrived at Tuesday’s debate site too late to be tested by the Cleveland Clinic, so they submitted tests administered by the Trump campaign instead. Fox’s Bill Hemmer said pointedly, “To me, that sounds like an honor system.”

And another one bites the dust, this must be punishment for his LIES about Biden and Hunter Biden
===========================
Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, one of Donald Trump’s biggest defenders, has officially tested positive for COVID-19.
Johnson also exposed a planeload of people on a commercial flight and a bunch of donors at a fund-raising dinner in Wisconsin.
He’s the third Senate Judiciary member to test positive and quarantine so McConnell has pushed back Barrett’s hearings until October 19.
First thing – ha! https://twitter.com/sandibachom/status/1312365552774590464
The lies will continue. I don’t want him to have a funeral yet. More of his peeps will be getting sick and probably start dying soon enough. Saturday was the super spreader.

Titanic hit the iceberg at 1140 pm. There was a slight shudder. Most passengers were undisturbed. 2 hours and 40 minutes later she was 14,000 feet deep in the North Atlantic. The lethal event was barely noticed. The consequences played out in spasms of fear and chaos. That is

I wouldn’t be so sure, such stupid people.
What burns me is that he knew Thursday, yet chose to travel maskless for his “precious rallies.”
Correct. Ignorance cannot be underestimated.
Please Kamala and dems. We beg you. Speak ad infinitum about the national security risks we now face because of the republican recklessness. That’s the issue. Pound it. Broken record.. Show how they Made FUN of people who social distance and mask. Unconscionable behavior. Poor judgment. Unfit to lead. Unfit to dog sit. If she does not take a hard stance then there is a deep state and it is all a fucking game.
THANK YOU.
Unconscionable behavior=DEPLORABLE PEOPLE
If she handles this correctly, winner hands down. There IS no defense. None.
The vp debate is one to watch.
Kamala, if you are reading this, YOUR EVERY WORD IS TO GO STRAIGHT TO HIS JUGULAR. Attack how fucking retarded he is. Attack with words what a fucking moron he is. Attack his beliefs. Attack his worldview. Attack his very existence. Pummel him with words straight to his metaphorical casket. Castrate him with your words. Feed his dead soul to the rats. If you do not leave covered in his metphorical blood, you will have failed.
Jump into the fire for 90 minutes and bring us back the boons.

“A member of the right-wing hate group Proud Boys was arrested in Oregon the morning after the first presidential debate, in which Donald Trump declined to disavow white supremacy, for assault and weapons charges resulting from a confrontation he had with protestors in August.
Alan Swinney, who Oregon Public Broadcasting identified as a member of Proud Boys and the far-right protester that pointed a gun at demonstrators in downtown Portland last month, was arrested on Wednesday morning on multiple assault charges. He also faced charges for unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful use of tear gas, stun gun or mace, the outlet reported, as well as pointing a firearm at another person.
The 50-year-old, who remains held at the Multnomah County Jail, was seen pulling out a gun during a clash with countrprotestors at the Multnomah County Justice Center on videos shared online from the 22 August rally.
Though he initially claimed he was cleared by officials of any wrongdoing during the violent clash, Swinney was reportedly arrested just hours after the president delivered a startling message to the hate group at Tuesday night’s debate in Ohio: “Proud Boys – stand back and stand by.” ”
Didn’t take long, did it?

“Right-wing provocateurs Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman were charged Thursday with multiple felony counts of voter intimidation for allegedly executing a series of robocalls designed to suppress vote-by-mail turnout in Michigan, according to authorities in the state.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel charged Wohl, 22, and Burkman, 54, with four counts of voter intimidation and conspiracy, including using a computer to commit the crime of conspiracy. Each charge carries a sentence of between five and seven years, with a maximum combined total of 24 years in prison.
State officials alleged that the duo “attempted to discourage voters from participating in the general election by creating and funding a robocall targeted at certain urban areas, including Detroit.” The calls, which warned people about getting “BS’d into giving your private information to the man,” reached nearly 12,000 residents when they were placed last month, according to a statement.
The recordings falsely told recipients that mail-in ballots could be used to “track down old warrants,” “collect outstanding debt” and “track people for mandatory vaccines.” “
Wednesday? That still gives Pence three days to come up with an excuse to back out.
