Biden was very classy. Let's follow his lead.

[democrattotheend]

I can't stand Trump as much as the rest of you, but getting giddy over him getting the coronavirus on a public forum is in bad taste, and whatever you might say or do in private, I urge you not to do so here. Just as we often check FreeRepublic to see how they react when one of our beloved politicians gets sick or dies, people probably do the same here. Yes, this forum is not affiliated with the Democratic Party, but it has the word "Democratic" in its name and not everyone knows that.

Rachel Maddow is right - this disease is horrible and we shouldn't wish it on anyone. You don't have to feel sorry for Trump, but gloating over him getting the virus is in bad taste and serves no purpose but to make us all look bad.

2. How about posting his comments about

Clinton when she was sick in 2016 without comment?

[Autumn]

3. You go right on ahead. I'm gonna gloat and enjoy this.

I'm not a hypocrite.

[rzemanfl]

4. +1 n/t.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

9. me either.

i am as honest as the day is long.

[Autumn]

17. There are over 212,730 K deaths from this disease that he has called a hoax due to his lack of

leadership and his lies. Now he has it. You can bet I'm gonna gloat and mock the son of a bitch.

[malaise]

30. Ditto

He was belittling Biden about masks during the debate.

Fuck him.

[PTWB]

44. My thoughts and prayers are with the virus.

[Autumn]

47. Yes, you are right, thank you for pointing that out. We should all feel sympathy for anything

having to inhibit that body.

[patricia92243]

5. I didn't "wish it on him" but now that he has it, I gloat all I want to.

Bad taste be hanged.

[MineralMan]

6. Excellent advice, it seems to me.

[lagomorph777]

7. Do we weep for the terrorist whose bomb factory blows up in his face?

I'm not going to waste a gram of sympathy for somebody who is trying to kill me. Period. He deserves to get extremely sick from the disease he has used to kill hundreds of thousands of us.

The worse it is for Trump, the better off America and the world will be.

[Alacritous Crier]

21. Accurate.

[uponit7771]

[Kali]

8. nah

it is normal for people to react to feelings of justice served after the damage and chaos that asshole has inflicted on the world.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

12. and you would know,

i have been saying kali is at work alllll summer.
have you been?

[Kali]

14. ...

[Mike 03]

11. One of Biden's campaign advisors just told CNN that the WH didn't even

notify them about the positive tests.

You can and should be as classy as you want. I admire that!

I'm shaking my head over the 210,000 dead Americans and Trump's total disregard for anyone but himself.

I'm not gloating, by the way. I'm enraged. And I'm waiting on the Bidens' test results.

[Alacritous Crier]

22. Exactly!

[Siwsan]

13. My first reaction to this news (almost as soon as it broke) was that it was only a question of time

He's gone through life like someone covered in bacon grease, walking through predator infested territory. Eventually he was going to get attacked - it was just a question of when, and what would take him.

[Raven123]

15. Agreed. Hope he recovers, gets voted out of office and then stands trial

[BComplex]

35. That's how I feel, too, Raven123.

I want to see him tried for treason, too.

[LAS14]

46. Absolutely! nt

[Loki Liesmith]

16. I just say if you got nothing nice to say:

MESSAGE DELETED

[Ninga]

18. Of course Biden was classy, he is a candidate for the presidency, little ole me, just a

fist pumping 76 yr old cheering on karma.

[Polly Hennessey]

19. I don't feel the least bit classy about the

Orange Monster. Whatever good taste I possess will not be wasted on him or anyone in his circle. I hold him accountable for over 200,00 deaths. Sympathy and well wishes, no. Biden has no choice but to send his condolences. I, on the other hand, am not placed in that position. I can let my true feelings be known.

[Progressive dog]

20. I have no sympathy for the man who

brought disease and death to so many by his inaction and his overruling of science.

[llashram]

23. Oh please

we are at war with RW forces intent on a coup de'tat, no more niceties extended. Those idiots in the WH do not care that over 225,000 people are now dead because of the total disregard of the truth about this disease that the WH disseminated. I'm supposed to care. I was in the hospital for some pretty serious exploratory surgery this week, you think the orange superspreader gave a damn if I contracted this disease? And I am a senior citizen with underlying conditions. TO HELL WITH TRUMP!!!

[Phentex]

29. Preach!

This is a different time. Where does nice get us right now? If someone thinks I'm a terrible person for NOT GIVING A CRAP ABOUT THIS ORANGE TURD OF A PRESIDENT, then I'll take it. I lose sleep over what this man does. I won't lose an ounce for someone on a message board thinking I'm not nice.

[llashram]

34. this

[uponit7771]

41. THIS !!!! ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾

[mtnsnake]

24. Of course Joe was very classy. He is the epitome of class, but

Trump is the epitome of EVIL, and none of us are running for President, so why should anyone change how they feel about the most evil person on the planet? If any of us were running for public office, I'm sure we wouldn't be parading around about it either, but we're not, and this is Donald Trump we're talking about.

[uponit7771]

42. +1, people don't believe Trump is a dark force just an asshole. No, he's evil and outwardly hurts...

... children as policy.

fuck him

[durablend]

25. Newp

Think he'd (Trump) have one bit of sympathy for YOU if you dropped dead from it?

[Voltaire2]

26. I'm not running for anything.

So no, I'm going to gloat.

[mindfulNJ]

27. I will give him

the same amount of sympathy and compassion as he's given the 200,000 who have died so far. How about that?

[Vogon_Glory]

28. My courtesy has been stretched past it's breaking point

and exhausted by the Far Right’s antics over the last quarter-century. I won’t gloat about Orange Julius’ current health status: not because of good manners, but because he’s shown to have the luck of the Devil and will probably shrug off the COVID virus the way some people shrug off a mild cold.

If, however, Donnie croaks, I refuse to commit to staying on my good behavior. I’ve got a GREAT idea for a Halloween costume.

[Meowmee]

31. What we need to focus on is that

He is a monster who murdered over 200,000 people with the help of his enablers and that if indeed he really has covid and he recovers he will keep right on destroying the country and not give a damn.

[RussBLib]

32. it's Joe Biden's job to be classy and above the fray

that's HIS job, not mine

Schadenfreude is justified in this case

[BannonsLiver]

33. Fuck Trump

“If he dies he dies.” - Ivan Drago

But I do understand Joe’s public reaction has to be what it is.

[BComplex]

36. I don't want him to die (yet!), and I don't want him to resign. I want him beaten within an inch

of his life in this election, and be alive to see it.

Then I want him to go to jail for a very long time, along with his entire family.

[LAS14]

43. Yeah. That's what I want too. nt

[SlogginThroughIt]

37. 210,000 dead. Millions jobless. Kids in cages.

Fuck him. I hope he chokes on liquid filling his lungs.

[awesomerwb1]

38. Nah

He's partly responsible for perhaps tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. Both here and abroad. Look at Brazil for example? Mini Trump Bolsonaro has been emboldened by trump and the Brazilian people are suffering the consequences of covid.

Fuck them both.

When they go low.....fuck that. The planet is on fire. We need to defeat this new evil before it wipes us all out.

Edit: and yes, Joe Biden is a classy, kind and good man.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

39. If he'd followed all the protocols, worn a mask, didn't hold big indoor rallies,

and gotten it anyhow, I wouldn't gloat (although I wouldn't be sad, either). But he ignored the protocols, gaslit the whole country until more than 200K people died, and then, in an act of staggering irresponsibility, held a fund-raiser even after he knew Hope Hicks was positive. So fuck him. Karma bit him hard in the ass and I intend to gloat, and I won't be the least bit sorry no matter what happens to his fat orange ass.

[LisaL]

45. I am not running for president. So I don't have to be classy.

Especially considering Trump likely exposed Biden to the virus during the debate.

[lettucebe]

48. It's not gloating. The fool refused to take precautions, refused to protect the rest of us ...

No PPE, no testing, etc. I am not gloating -- it was to be expected and there's absolutely no reason for us to state that loudly. He tried to get it, and for once, succeeded at something.
