Response To Trump Covid Diagnosis Shows His "Opposition" Always Saw Him As Part Of The Club by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
The Joe Biden campaign is reportedly taking down all negative ads against the United States president due to his recent positive test for Covid-19.
The Hill reports that according to two sources within the former vice presidents camp, the campaign has "decided to scrap the negative ads before the White House announced that Donald Trump is being taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center."
"The VP can not say "God Bless this family" and then trash him in ads," one Joe Biden ally told The Hill.
"Jill and I send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a swift recovery. We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family," Joe Biden tweeted upon the news of Donald Trumps positive test.
"Donald Trumps campaign hit back at Joe Biden and did not indicate it intends to take down its negative ads," The Hill reports.

This would be the same Donald Trump that Democratic politicians and pundits have been confidently assuring us is both a Russian agent who is trying to destroy the United States of America on orders of Vladimir Putin, and a white nationalist who is trying to eliminate minorities from the United States to create a white ethnostate. This same man who they have been saying poses a unique existential threat to human lives will receive no attacks from his only viable political opponent.
"Doug and I join Joe Biden and Dr. Biden in wishing President Trump and the First Lady a full and speedy recovery," tweeted Joe Bidens running mate Kamala Harris. "We are keeping them and the entire Donald Trump family in our thoughts."
Former president Barack Obama reportedly sent Donald Trump his best wishes, saying "We are all Americans and we are all human beings, and we want to make sure everybody is healthy."
"God bless the president and the first lady," tweeted the worlds most virulent Russiagater Rachel Maddow. "If you pray, please pray for their speedy and complete recovery - and for everyone infected, everywhere. This virus is horrific and merciless - no one would wish its wrath on anyone."
Again, this is after years of Ms Maddow staring at the camera and weaving ridiculous narratives about Russia having taken over the highest levels of the United States government. Night after night after night after night.
"I join in the chorus of those who wish a speedy and full recovery to President Trump, the First Lady, Hope Hicks, and all who were exposed to them in recent days," tweeted another virulent Russiagater Laurence Tribe. "This is no time for cruelty, schadenfreude, or any other form of small-mindedness."
God bless the president and the first lady. If you pray, please pray for their speedy and complete recovery - and for everyone infected, everywhere.
This virus is horrific and merciless - no one would wish its wrath on anyone. We must get its spread under control. Enough.-Rachel Maddow MSNBC October 2, 2020
These are just a few examples. These sentiments are everywhere throughout the Democratic establishment and its allied media.
Do these seem like the sentiments of a media class who believes Donald Trump poses an urgent existential threat and must be defeated at all cost? Or do they sound like a media class who promoted Russiagate and Donald Trump hysteria for ratings?
Do these seem like the sentiments of a political class who believes there is an urgent existential need to defeat Donald Trump at all cost? Or do they sound like a political class who promoted Russiagate and Donald Trump hysteria because impeachment and advancing longstanding Central Intelligence Agency agendas against Russia are more politically convenient than advancing progressive policies and addressing the massive corruption problems which were exposed in their party in 2016?
Would you stop fighting someone who was trying to kill you with every weapon at your disposal just because they got sick? If you actually believed they truly pose an existential threat to you, would a positive Covid test cause you to let up at all?
Of course not.
So to clarify, the liberal position is that Joe Biden owes us nothing but we absolutely must vote for him anyway because Donald Trump is the second coming of Hitler, and he will dissolve democracy if he wins, and we hope he is doing well and lives a long and happy life?-Existential Comics October 2, 2020
It turns out all that unprecedented hysterical shrieking about a Russian Nazi in the White House was just political hyperbole. It was an act.
They have never seen Donald Trump as a uniquely menacing threat, they see him as what he is: a garden variety corrupt United States of American president who is evil in more or less the same ways the other corrupt United States of American presidents are evil.
They see him as a part of the establishment they serve, advancing more or less the same agendas. They see him as a part of the club, just covered by a thin layer of narrative to the contrary.
If you ever had any doubt that Democrats will one day regard Donald Trump the way they now regard George W Bush, you can set that doubt aside.
As George Carlin famously said, it is a big club, and you aint in it.
I join in the chorus of those who wish a speedy and full recovery to President Trump, the First Lady, Hope Hicks, and all who were exposed to them in recent days. This is no time for cruelty, schadenfreude, or any other form of small-mindedness.-Laurence Tribe October 2, 2020
The responses to Donald Trumps diagnosis from the liberal political-media class show that they have never actually been afraid of Donald Trump.
In fact, what they have been afraid of is you.
All these admonishments toward civility we are hearing today, from the subtle like Ms Maddows heartfelt prayers to the overt like Mr. Tribes "This is no time for cruelty, schadenfreude, or any other form of small-mindedness," are the result of an establishment that is secretly terrified of the rank-and-file public.
The ruling class and its lackeys are secretly terrified that one day the ordinary people they despise will awaken from their propaganda trance and realize the power of their numbers, and any incivility and impoliteness directed at the ruling class reminds them of just how ugly that could get for them.
These admonishments toward civility are always anti-populist in nature, and are always the result of nervousness about the public turning toward their rulers with hostility. They are nervous for the same reason you would get nervous if your dog suddenly remembered its wolf heritage and started killing trespassing deer. They know they are outnumbered. They know our teeth are sharp.
This sudden pivot from portraying the United States president as a unique and unprecedented threat to finger-wagging about politeness exposes what is really going on here.
Contrary to what his Democratic detractors and Republican supporters believe, Donald Trump has never been anything other than a servant of the ruling power establishment, serving its agendas in the ways to which his political base is best-suited to support and his opposition is best-suited to allow.
Jill and I send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a swift recovery. We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family.-Joe Biden October 2, 2020
The establishment narrative managers know this, which is why their alarmism about Donald Trump has only ever been an act.
There are plenty of ordinary United States of Americans who view Donald Trump as a uniquely dangerous threat, but it is so, so vital to understand that his ostensible opposition does not see him this way, and never has.
Their job is not to resist Donald Trump, their job is to resist you. He is in the club, you are not.
It is a big club, and you aint in it.
