What I have learned about conspiracy cults like this is IT NEVER NEEDS TO COME TRUE.
Years of Limbaugh, Beck's whiteboard sermons, Jones firehouse of fear mongering, Bannon flooding the zone with shit, etc...
The followers never care about the old claims and predictions that NEVER materialize. Because they keep getting replaced with new ones in rapid succession.

Ask ANY Trumper Qultist about the ballot watermark sting story now.
They'll wave it away like they never believed it and, most importantly, they will not judge the credibility of their sources by its failure to materialize. They'll blindly believe the all new claims from the same sources that outright lied to them about the watermark sting.

Agreed.

Sweet delicious conspiracy hoaxes that taste so good, leaves a pleasant aftertaste, no calories, no nutritional value and leaves no evidence of its existence after it craps itself out of the typical conservatoid.

All that's left is a severe case of memory loss, yet that sweet taste still lingers in their mouths.

It's what the Repub Party's been serving up to their followers for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks since Reagan began feeding them crumbs off his dining table and told them how filling and satisfying it was and there were millions of conservatards who actually believed him and still vote with that lie chiseled into their hearts.

I wonder why Giuliani would have access to that when so few other people do. He’s not a government official, he’s just a regular private citizen. The only thing that makes sense is that he’s getting preferential treatment because he’s friends with the president, which is yet more corruption.

This is what Ben Carson had to say about his covid treatment, so I’m sure Trump will ensure that Rudy gets the best, too.

Carson - “President Trump was following my condition and cleared me for the monoclonal antibody therapy that he had previously received, which I am convinced saved my life,”

Makes a difference when the President can pull strings for you during a deadly pandemic.

Trump knows this virus is a killer. He just continues to grift his followers to think otherwise. Slowly killing off the portion of his base who believe everything he says and have no money for treatment.

It's not just money for treatment. If my suspicion is correct, the positive outcomes they are enjoying are a result of IMMEDIATE treatment upon diagnosis.

The American experience is to fear going to the hospital, as it is going to cause bankruptcy. So unless you are rich you are going to delay seeking treatment, meaning the options "party members" enjoy are not an option for plebs due to the timeline.

Not only that but you won't and can't be admitted to the hospital until you have actual symptoms. Unless of course you more than your average pleb.

What do you think the chances that you or I would be 'admitted to a hospital' unless our vital signs indicated that we were in a health crisis?

So is he that sick, or that "special"?

0% chance unless you are experiencing severe symptoms. Even with a fever etc, around here you're not being admitted. They do not have room for "mild" cases. You're sent home and told to quarantine and the rest of your family is now screwed too.

But if you're special, then you get ushered right in and given the best designer drugs to prevent you from actually getting sick. All of course on the American taxpayer's dime. Make no mistake, we're paying for Rudy's healthcare.

I would think oxygen saturation levels would be an indicator of your severity of illness as one of the gates.

Well that is just un-merican, how dare the government care enough to take my money to help others. And clearly against the republican stance of GMFU. What next? People won't face financial ruin, lose their homes and live in abject poverty just because they got sick?

Which is a indicator he is that sick as it's attacking his lungs. As I stated "unless our vital signs indicated that we were in a health crisis"

So why is he in the hospital?

Todays Guardian:

Donald Trump has said that former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was admitted to hospital Sunday after being diagnosed with Covid-19, was “doing well” with the virus.


“Rudy’s doing well,” Trump said in response to a question from reporters at the White House. “He’s doing very well. No temperature and he actually called me earlier this morning. Was the first call I got.”


Should not only sick people be in the hospital.

Trump is not a reliable source of information. Rudy could be at death's door for all we know.

I can't believe a year into this we still have no setup recovery shelters, where people can go to recover and have some contingent of nurses on hand that can give O2, hydration and monitoring. China figured that shit out. You don't send sick people home to infect their families or to die from dehydration if you actually want to slow the spread of the vaccine.

Just shows the US really is a third world country when it comes to taking care of each other.
