Devine Intervention


It  is becoming increasingly obvious that Hellary Clinton has some illness(es) that is (are) not going away. Whether this possible malady mix is so serious as to deny her from holding office is unclear because the Clinton machine is moving heaven and Earth to hide her problem(s) from the American voters. This situation is similar to FDR's attempt at a fourth presidential term in 1944 when it was leaking out that he was gravely ill ... but our war situation precluded full disclosure of this fact to voters and to our enemies ... much to Harry Truman's benefit. However, in Hellary's case, we are not embroiled in a world war and continuing down President Obummer's primrose path seems not so compelling ... at least not to this voter.

Now, I am not a God-fearing man ... nor do I believe, like Elon Musk, that we are all just virtual players in some giant futuristic computer simulation game  ... but I obviously do fear a Clinton election ... and, if her health issue(s) move front and center and obviate the presidency, then I will feel both a pang for her Greek-tragedy fate ... but still silently offer hosannas to this  equivalent of Devine intervention.

Are you referring to Andy Devine? Golly gee! Wait for me Wild Bill!! I'm finishing up my Sugar Pops.

Might as well be he ...

It's increasingly clear that Trump is bi-polar.
He swings back and forth to suit his audience (a la John Kerry?) Not long ago he was a baby-killing Dem, now he's a immigrant-killing Repub. One analyst speculated that Trump's support from fundamental Christians is based on their sense that his election would be a sign from Goad that the The Rapture (the end of the world) is close at hand.

Actually seems a good idea to require a complete physical exam of the candidates, performed by physicians at a major hospital. The general assessment is enough, not necessarily their lab results or meds.

So too for submission of the last five years of tax return 1040 form and notice of divestiture of business/charity to control by non-family.

They both should just do it.

You must be aware that for us over-50 there are chronic conditions that are easily managed with medicines such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes. Nothing harsh and no underlying deadly disease. They mostly just relax aging vessels and boost what is excreted. While you get the benefit of repressing nasty degenerative conditions, you get side effects. Some are a bit annoying like slight dizziness when standing up, others are a bit more annoying (especially to a public speaker) like excessive mucus production in the mouth or an imaginary itch in the throat (Lisinopril).

I'd wait for a doctor's report. She should make one public.

Oooh, Rapture! That sounds good. Is it like Burning Man or Woodstock?

Dr. DEN, Everytime I attack Hellary, you libs want me to defend Trump. He is obviously far from perfect ... but HRC must, therefore, be tripolar at the very least. Let us stay on the subject and that is her health (or lack thereof.

George W. Potts said...

I agree ...

DEN said...

I'm totally on topic. Hillary says that she is fine, so your unsupported allegations about her health have less weight than my diagnosis of her opponent based on his words and the possible involvement of a higher power. (BTW, What's the disease that turns Trump orange?) Just trying to bring some balance to your premature ejaculations.

And we all know that she is a woman of her word ... and BTW it comes from eating too many Cheetos.
