Nevermind The NDA's....


...Here Comes The NCA!


The current President of the United States has long been famous for forcing those close to him to sign perpetually gaggifying non-disclosure agreements (NDA's):

President Donald Trump’s secrecy habit is extreme and extremely troubling. His main concern, it seems, is to prevent leaks that might embarrass him or his family.

A new complaint before the American Arbitration Association reveals that the 2016 Trump campaign’s nondisclosure agreement (NDA) defined as confidential any information that “Mr. Trump insists remain private or confidential.” The gag on embarrassing Trump lasted not only “during the term of your service” but also “at all times thereafter.” Trump has taken his draconian contractual clauses with him to Washington. The White House staff NDA appears to impose penalties for any unauthorized revelation of confidential information, defined as “all nonpublic information I learn of or gain access to in the course of my official duties.” Such language is unprecedented—to use a word that’s getting a workout these days...



But now?

Well, now there is a brand new agreement that those who want to get close to each other in a jam-packed arena with a far away safe and distantly sound Mr. Trump will be forced to sign.

It's the non-coronavirus agreement (NCA):

Trump supporters who attend his first rally since the coronavirus pandemic began must agree not to sue if they contract COVID-19. The president is set to hold his first rally since March next week at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, an arena that seats more than 19,000 people.

The president has emphasized he wants his rallies full of people and has made his distaste for masks clear.

"By clicking register below, you are acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present," the campaign website says on the RSVP page for the rally. "By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.; BOK Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers liable for any illness or injury."...


But, but, but...

Aren't the fine folks who will choose to partake in such an activity being conditioned to think that it's all a hoax?

I wonder if Jim Jones had a non-koolaid-agreement?

Good question Lew--

Although, despite his massively malevolent monstrousness, at least Mr. Jones did not call his outfit 'The People's Temple, Inc.'

Some may be willing to sacrifice their lives for Trump- things just might be getting that crazy?

RossK said...

Chuck--

Maybe those Q Boys will have a look into it...

Although, given that it likely an actual, real conspiracy, perhaps not.

The republican convention originally scheduled for N. Carolina has been moved to Jacksonville Florida, after N. Carolina wanted the convention to be held with the states covid rules.

Florida is one of the worse states for rising cases, but with very little data coming out, it’s not clear how bad it is. Recently a Florida official was fired for refusing to manipulate the data.

With a convention of predominantly at risk older people screaming and shouting with no social distancing or wearing of masks for hours on end, in a state where who knows how bad it is. Would it not be prudent for the rnc to require the attendees to sign a waiver, of their own registered non believers and anti vaxxers, or say nothing and leave the proceedings to natural selection.
