    I don't give a shit whether Pence lives or dies. He's fucking irrelevant. I just really really really really want Trump to die

      yup politics is basically sports for weirdos anyways, Trump dying from covid would be like the Warriors blowing a 3-1 lead for the chuds

          That was an incredible series. LeBron was like a force of nature. I don't know how anyone who watched that series could still seriously argue that Michael Jordan was better than him. LeBron became the GOAT for me after that series, those last 3 games, he was flying from one end of the court to the other.

      I'm very pro Anti-Science, Anti-LGBT, Right Wing Evangelicals getting diseases.

      Also, thinking about it this way- Trump dies, people vote. Trump voters vote Pence out of allegiance, swing voters abstain since orange man dead, Pence wins.

      He'd do all the same shit, just with a straight face, PC language and worst of all, no gags.

      Read your comment, and thought 'Can I say that ???', and then remembered I wasn't on reddit. r/politics has given me PTSD.

    There's a high possibility it's a pre-write or a placeholder for something else. The could be deleted soon but I tried to archive it using a page picture capture, here. Alternatively an archive.is backup here. I guess we'll know by tonight if he or somebody else is positive. There's a NYT article in it which links to a generic article rather than (?) tests positive

    EDIT: VP Press Sec. an hour ago says "nobodys sick" so this adds to the chance maybe he's not Coronavirus positive. If it's my own thought since he cancelled events and returned to the White House I'm thinking Deadline may have used him of all people because they'd jump to the conclusion of him sick to break the news early and thus get more clicks.

    Could be just a placeholder story that got published by mistake.

      The deadline tweet was real, I saw it before it was deleted so it’s not fake in the sense they photoshopped that part, but it could just be a mistake on their part.

    I'm pretty sure they pre-write stories so that they're ready to go immediately when big news happens. They probably wrote this up right after Trump and all those Republicans started testing positive. Like I'm 100% sure every big media outlet has a Trump dies from covid story ready to go, doesn't mean its going to happen, or they know something we don't

    They issued a very generic retraction and apology: https://deadline.com/2020/10/deadline-correction-1234594192/

      Lol they didn’t even say he didn’t have it? Just that they didn’t mean to publish it? Come the fuck on does he have it or not this sucks.
