US Politics, November 2019: These people are truly sick.

It would be funny if he just disappeared but the tweets kept coming and the white house acted like everything was normal.

There is no way his cholesterol is that normal.

he is on statins

cholesterol listed but not blood pressure. hmm

Just in: President Trump's blood pressure reported to be perfect over beautiful

oh my god Nunes is gonna spend the whole 45 minutes asking "are you aware of this Hunter Biden thing"

Seems like a massive waste of time

oh my god he's gonna accuse them of leaking to the press

I don't know how anyone, even a Republican, can listen to Nunes without their eyes rolling so far back it causes some sort of retinal damage. Yet in bizarro world Shifty Schiff is the liar and Nunes is the truth teller.

It’s pretty crazy that trump imperiled his presidency to get dirt on biden when there hasn’t even been a single primary yet and he has no way of knowing who the nominee will be.

It's almost as if his brain were a dead octopus on a plate aimlessly spasming under a spray of soy sauce.

youtube.oldboy

maybe he really is dead. idk. just got a shuddering premonition.

xxxpost I think the idea was to knock Biden down so he would not be the nominee. Thinks he can beat Bernie or Warren easier.

He’s pretty stupid to think that imo.

The polls support it kind of. But he more than anyone should know that the “enthusiasm gap” matters a lot and is hard to measure before election day.

Biden was the only candidate beating him in swing states. As much as I like Warren or Bernie, they still don't have a lead in the electoral college.

deep statins

Polls are weird things months before the primaries

they're relatively worthless in isolation, maybe equally so in aggregate

yeah but you need to schedule your ratfucking early. can't wait for people to start voting.

You define your opponent as early as possible, before they get a chance to define themselves. The way Trump did it is idiotic, but trying to dig up dirt on Biden was business as usual. It even seemed to work, there really was someone at NYT stupid enough to bite.

trump is also a dumb, old, racist idiot who can't absorb new information, and probably thinks biden looks like the obvious nominee because he's the only one that looks like a Politician to him - an old white guy with a big smile, who he'd heard of before his brain turned completely into television mush.

it's not really a mystery why they targeted Biden. also doesn't really matter.

I feel like re: Trump's health we could be heading for a Woodrow Wilson scenario

you think Melania's going to run the country?

Sort of. More like Scavino will keep tweeting, Grisham will keep talking, and a committee of people will be Shadow Trump

I hope they cart out an actor

The stalin/saddam bosy double thing. Always wanted that for my country.

you think Melania's going to run the country?

Nancy Reagan did for a while tbh

this is so embarrassing

shhhh shhh little fella

The fact that they try to reach him, personally, via the airwaves is really sick and weird.

Presidential self-care

Nancy Reagan did for a while tbh

Melania doesn't seem to love power the way Nancy did... if I had to wager on any one in that shitshow of a cabinet taking charge honestly I would put my money on Pompeo. Pence is too stupid, no one's gonna take orders from Jared, etc.

If he had a stroke and can’t talk, sooner or later the public will find out.

It’s not the 1910s

idk he could barely talk as it was

but yeah if a week goes by without him appearing in public...

i'm afraid to say the hospital visit is probably just a scheduling fuck up. there are probably dozens every day.

this whitehouse is extremely incompetent (so this makes sense) and can't keep a secret (we'd know if it was something more).

He scheduled a cabinet meeting during the break in the proceedings so we will all get to see how he's doing. I watched his last public speech and he was incredibly illiterate and winging the speech with a complete lack of focus, but not sure if that was any more than usual:

'Something.'

his son had to wish him a happy birthday on Fox & Friends because they don't talk to each other

i'm afraid to say the hospital visit is probably just a scheduling fuck up. there are probably dozens every day.

As many people have pointed out, the White House has a medical facility in the building. He could have gotten his cholesterol checked by walking down the hall. Instead, he was motorcaded to the hospital. This was absolutely not a "scheduling fuck up."

If he had a stroke and can’t talk, sooner or later the public will find out.

I can't say with certainty that I'd notice if he actually suffered a series of mini-strokes in the midst of a public appearance.

Xpost also reports stated that he had his NSC meeting in private quarters yesterday and hadn't visited the West Wing all day. And cleared much of his schedule.

A source also suggested he was hustled into the vehicle for the drive to Walter Reed, suggesting urgency.

I doubt dude is like, dying, but I really don't think it was a physical. Since when do you do it in six month spurts? I have minorly high blood pressure and I have one physical and three month checkins. Data from six months ago may no longer be very accurate.

Xpost you're probably joking but you really don't always notice the TIAs.

My dad had a bunch of mini strokes and nobody knows when they happened. Rather gradually he just stopped talking and holding his hand funny over a period of a month or so

where's the whistleblower?

Yeah, an uncle of mine turned out to have suffered a series of small strokes over time. Not good, but at least it was caught and understood in retrospect.
