Brad Parscale - Trump's Campaign Manager In Quarantine

Trump FEARS COVID-19. Who else did Brad expose in Trump's inner circle?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

You're either quarantined or you're not. I'm pretty sure that's definitional

They're all idiots.

8. There is the term "very pregnant", so yes, there are degrees, not binary, not B&W

Or the term "barely pregnant" when there is only a test and a missed period with no baby bump.

It is a mistake to draw some kind of line and say everything on one side is all one way and nothing of the other, while on the other side it is the reverse.
It is a mistake to say either you are good or you are bad. Even Mother Teresa was not perfectly good.
It is like those people who says that if anyone ever voted Republican, then Democrats should never ever make common cause with them on some issue, like getting rid of tRump.

No quarantine is perfect. Parscale's "quarantine" is probably very imperfect. And yes, he is either a corrupt idiot for milking tRump's campaign or a stupid idiot if he actually believes in tRump. Even saying so, he is not a complete idiot because he has had some success at his goals.

Even so, a quasi-quarantine helps. Of course it doesn't help much, if the person is infectious. But at the same time, being infectious with no quarantine at all is no guarantee that they will infect someone.

The perfect is the enemy of the good. Binary thinking is fallacious thinking.

12. Detention is not my intention :) Only wanting to encourage clear critical thinking when I can

We are, of course, basically on the same page: "quasi-detention" is a fig leaf to appear to be doing something.

Donald Dunce is such a stable genius, he doesn't even realize when the master con himself has been conned for all it was worth.
