He still managed to avert nuclear armageddon with the Soviets though, not bad for someone who napped every afternoon for a few hours!
He was a great speaker. :)

There was a hilarious 1980s series called Coming Next. It featured Chris Barrie, Gareth Hale, Norman Pace and Carla Mendonca. I think it springboarded Hale & Pace's show.

Trump's in quarantine. It would be quite ironic if he catches it because he said on the debate his mass gatherings haven't resulted in any covid cases. :)

Surprised they've suspended the markets, maybe if one of them one was dead but it's a bit of overkill to suspend it over this.

Mike Pence will be very busy these coming weeks :lol:

One good thing coming out of this is it'll prove how much of a sham covid is

Look after the Pence and the Donalds will look after themselves.
Well if they unsuspend I might do that.

No wonder BF thought something was iffy - Pence was well in the 3 figures down to 36 :lol:

Surely BF can't keep the market suspended for the whole 2 week quarantine...

That's just mean derek, I remember you were saying the same thing about boris too.

If Trump it gets very ill or dies then the democrats will win in a landslide, but if Trump only shows normal cold+cough symptoms or nothing then this will strengthen his position.

And let's be real he's still going to be more active than sleepy joe

Next couple of days will be key, if he still hasn't shown any symptoms in 48 hours I can see his price roaring back...and vice versa
