Katie Miller, Pence spokesperson, tests positive for coronavirus
Miller's positive diagnosis for Covid-19 puts the potential threat of the infection squarely into the presidents inner circle. Miller serves as the vice presidents top spokesperson, traveling with him frequently and attending meetings by his side. She is also married to another top White House aide and senior adviser, Stephen Miller, who writes the majority of Trumps speeches and spends copious amounts of time around the president, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
Katie Millers positive diagnosis raises the risk that, through both her and her husbands daily work, a large swath of the West Wings senior aides may also have been exposed to the novel coronavirus. She did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany earlier on Friday confirmed that a member of the vice presidents team had tested positive for coronavirus just one day after one of President Donald Trump's personal valets contracted the illness although did not specify who the person was.

My sister in law recommended it as a good place to get liberal views with like minded people, but I've never been down with name calling and wishing ill on people. I think I need to look for someplace a little milder, it that place even exist these days.
In any event, thanks for the welcome.

(14,530 posts)Not all want him dead.
Some want him in prison for his crimes
Some want him to step on Legos for the rest of his life
some want him to lose all his hair depriving him of a combover
some want him to go to Putin and say I tried, next to a window
some want him just plain gone
some want him to melt into a gelatinous blob
some want him to lose his pants in public, exposing his diaper
some want him to tell the truth, for once
some want him to live in the conditions he created for the rest of us
some want him broke as shit
so no, not all want him dead. Not even most, not even some.
But we sure as hell won't cry when he eventually does die.

(14,530 posts)they will lash out. I am also sick of this administration's NAZI rallying cries. If they had their way they would kill members of my family, for being gay, black, and Muslims.

By the way, "NT" means "no text." If all I have to say fits in the Reply title, and there is no text in the Message text, I'll end my comment in the Reply title with "NT." That means there is no text in the Message text. You'll see variations on that.

(84 posts)I see the stats. I do what I need to to protect myself and my family. I was super stressed at first and that caused me more problems than it was worth, both mentally and physically. There comes a time when you just need to get on with it as intelligently as you can. And regular exercise helps a lot.
mahatmakanejeeves
(57,378 posts)Yeah, I'm working at home. I hardly ever get out of the house. I went grocery shopping yesterday. I bought a lot of non-essential items, but I needed a break. I wore a mask in the store. The store does not require one, but since most other shoppers had one, I wanted to go with the flow.
I find that keeping other people in a good mood helps life go better.
If only that worked here.
Some people enjoy being upset. There's nothing you can do about it.

(15,325 posts)In the run-up to the 2016 election, White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller promoted white nationalist literature, pushed racist immigration stories and obsessed over the loss of Confederate symbols after Dylann Roofs murderous rampage, according to leaked emails reviewed by Hatewatch.
The emails, which Miller sent to the conservative website Breitbart News in 2015 and 2016, showcase the extremist, anti-immigrant ideology that undergirds the policies he has helped create as an architect of Donald Trumps presidency. ...

Waiting....
Let's hope that tight-knit & dark inner sanctum that surrounds & protects Trump meets face to face with the Laws of Karma, since the US Constitution & our checks & balances cannot seem to penetrate his fortress.

(11 posts)When you start off believing that you're a superior person, from birth really, I think you can convince yourself that you're immune to some disease that affects the general masses. This virus has now penetrated the White Office and their response is full on testing of any and everyone who may even remotely come into contact with the superior people. The value of being superior is that you can mitigate risk to yourselves. While its survival of the fittest for the rest of us.

Would it not be perfect if Miller's wife has carried the infection throughout the halls of power to VP Pence and ultimately to the Mad King himself?
Were we not told immigrants, particularly Hispanic immigrants, were the primary vessels of disease and affliction, dangerous to all Americans, justifying caging people and their children? How sweet that a virus carrier and spreader might be the wife of Mr. Odious (Miller), architect of the country's inhumane immigration policies/solutions.

(12,578 posts)1. Stephen Miller could become infected.
2. Mike Pence could become infected.
3. Through his interactions with Miller, Pence, and his valet (a fine young man he doesn't know), Fat Donnie could become infected.
It doesn't matter how many tests you take each day, a test only shows if you are already infected, not whether you are likely to get infected. At least Trump will get to say, "Before I got infected, nobody knew taking the test doesn't show if you might get infected, only if you are infected. Nobody knew that before, believe me."

Look, Im not saying that I am happy to hear about Pences Press Secretary Katie Miller having coronavirus.
Stephen Miller, Trumps Resident Nazi, is married to her so that woman has been punished enough.
But maybe having this virus dance its deadly cha cha around Trump Himself will get him to pay attention to it.
