Hillary Clinton Feels Faint, Media Gets Vapors

Get ready for an extended news cycle about Hillary’s health
Politics • Views: 41,305

Well, now we know what the news cycle is going to be like for the next few days: Clinton falls ill during 9/11 memorial service in New York.

The Stupidest Man on the Internet, Jim Hoft, has already tweeted ten times about this, and is yelling hysterically in all-caps at his crummy blog, because he sees it as proof that his relentless promotion of conspiracy theories about Hillary’s health is being vindicated.

Here’s the video that’s all over right wing blogs and media.

Clinton showed up outside her daughter’s apartment in New York a little bit later, looking fine, and the Clinton campaign has released a statement about it:

Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for just an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen. During the ceremony, she felt overheated, so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment and is feeling much better.

This, of course, is not going to satisfy the media, and they’re already making a lot of noise about transparency. I agree — I’m sure this was nothing more serious than hyperventilating in the 80+ degree heat, but I think Hillary should get a report from her doctor about this incident and release it as soon as possible.

However, let’s not pretend that will put to rest the right wing conspiracy theories.

UPDATE at 9/11/16 2:34:39 pm by Charles Johnson

We now have a statement from Hillary’s doctor; on Friday she was diagnosed with pneumonia. So we can look forward to a huge pneumonia-gate fake controversy.

Again, how do you fight against the sheer onslaught and volume of bullshit that gets treated like gospel by the press, when anything coming from your side gets treated like lies from Satan’s bowels itself even after empirically proving your statement in triplicate? The fact that this shit is only the latest bullshit to get mainstreamed from the right wing noise machine is just…god.

you keep doing what theyve been doing. lead by facts and example

trump can say anything. he can lie. flip flop and flip again. exaggerate and hyperbole to his hearts content. he can retweet anything he wants and his son can photoshop to his hearts content

she cant. likely wouldnt anyway. she and her team knows this and they didnt just figure it out recently

This is the eternal contradiction of our system: We want someone young and fit for the presidency, but we also demand a level of experience and knowledge that only the old and infirm possess. Obama was young and fit, but the media and wingnuts attacked him as too inexperienced and green to do the job effectively. Meanwhile McCain boasted of decades of experience and knowledge, but his health and fitness for office were questioned instead.

So we try to split the difference and engage in this fantasy that we can tell a candidate’s health just with a glance. Which is how we’ve got an Oompa-Loompa who insists he’s more fit for the office than a woman with decades more experience than he who gets a bit tipsy due to heat exhaustion.

Seriously, Dangerman is right in #3 - none of this is moving the electoral college needle. My wife in the next room won’t hear about this until maybe tomorrow, then she’ll say, “What happened to Hillary yesterday?” and I’ll tell her and she’ll shrug her shoulders and say “I’ll bet the Republicans had a field day with that.”

The media has been ordered to find anything they can to cast doubt on Clinton’s health, because I’m sure many of the higher-ups can see what I’ve been seeing for months—Trump is not in good shape. If he keels over during one of these screaming spaz attacks of his, they want the ready-made counter of “Yeah, but…Hillary Heatstroke™!!11!!

She should challenge Trump to a thorough physical from the same, neutral doctor. Safest offer in the world, he’d never agree to it—but put the offer out there constantly.

just for fun, id argue not because it lends to that false equivalency - even if it never actually did happen and is only a challenge

it happened
they addressed it with a press stmt
and she’ll be back to work
the less said the less it is
the more hounding everyone else does - there’s still nothing to find

she will keep campaging with the press trying to keep up and say shes got no energy at the same time. actions. they speak

I was referring to the complete lack of curiosity by the press about Trump’s health. First he comes up with a laughably ridiculous letter from a doctor who looks like the professor in a horror flick, then this week he’ll go on Dr. Quack’s show to further not talk about his health. They’ll both sure as hell talk about Hillary’s health though.

Greek soccer fans boo America during moment of silence

America booed by Greek soccer fans

Associated Press

ATHENS, Greece (AP) Fans of a Greek soccer club tried to burn the American flag and jeered during a pre-game tribute held in honor of the victims of last week’s terrorist attacks.
A minute’s silence was held before all 77 European soccer games played this week. But some AEK Athens fans jeered before Thursday’s game against the Scottish club Hibernian.

“When I first heard all the shouting and jeering, I thought it was their way of doing the minute’s silence. Then I was told by someone who said: `Look, they’re burning the American flag,”’ Hibernian coach Alex McLeish said Saturday upon returning to Scotland.

“I could not believe such anti-American feeling in a European country.”

Several hundred fans booed and jeered during the minute’s silence before the UEFA Cup game, some chanting “Americans, killers,” according to Greek reports.

One group set fire to an Israeli flag, and others tried to burn an American flag but couldn’t get it to light.

Greek officials could not be reached for comment.

“What went on in Athens disgusted me,” McLeish said. “With what happened last week, innocent people of all nationalities in America, anyone would show respect.”

“What badly disappointed me was that there was no effort made by anyone, the police included, to do anything about it.

“It is so disappointing that people do not have respect for human life no matter what creed, color or nationality,” McLeish said.

But I’m still a better person for the job of President than Trump is, and Hillary has so much more going for her than I do. And I’ll bet I’m healthier than Trump too.

MrBWS has suffered from heat-related health issues while on the job.
It’s not because he isn’t “fit” (although he likes to refer to himself as “a fat little old round man”), it’s because of the additional heavy FR clothing and other safety equipment he has to wear while working outdoors with high voltage.
No surprise to him that HRC might have felt the effects of heat after 90 minutes in a crowd of people while she was wearing a kevlar vest under her regular clothing.
(MrBWS has been restoring power since 7 a.m. following last night’s storms in Greater Cincinnati…he got about 2-3 hours sleep.)

Then demand that Trump do the exact same thing and demand that he disclose the other things that presidential candidates have in the past.

The birth certificate nonsense started because National Review was “just asking questions” about whether Obama’s middle name was Muhammad and demanded that Obama release his birth certificate to prove that it wasn’t.

How did that work out for him?

Warning! Unpopular opinion ahead.

HRC should go to a doctor for a complete physical and the doctor should hold a press conference.

Preferably Rudy’s doctor, one of Reagan’s old doctors, Bill Frist or someone who is ethical and of the wingnut variety.

Then demand that Trump do the exact same thing and demand that he disclose the other things that presidential candidates have in the past.

Obama made the trip to Hawaii to produce a notarized copy of his birth certificate to prove he was born there. The result? The birthers moved the goalposts, the press entertained their new goal, and the issue kept going. It never truly died until he was in office for years and both Congress and SCOTUS refused to entertain the matter any further.

If Hillary agreed to be examined by a physician named by the press, you can be sure that they would still find some reason to gripe.

“Her blood pressure was a bit high. That could mean she’s at risk of a stroke! More on this with our medical experts at 11.”

“Did you see her cholesterol level? Could drop dead of a heart attack any day now.”

You are correct that it won’t go away. Your strategy for dealing with it won’t make it go away, either. Even if HRC did her part of that, Trump would not.

You know, I was out today picketing Mark Driscoll’s Scottsdale church today and even though I had sun block, a hat, water and was wearing a sleeveless linen dress, I still had to pack it in because it was simply HOT out there. And then I hear about this Hillary craziness and I’m like, “What? She has to wear Kevlar because of the kooks out there. No wonder she felt weird.”

Anyway, I had someone join me for picketing and it was as if the church was a hornet’s nest that’d gotten kicked over. They took great offense to the guy parking in their lot. They called the off-duty cop over, who came over to us and told my fellow picketer (a) he had to move his car and (b) he has now been warned not to trespass. Since the guy lives in Melbourne, Australia, I doubt that’s going to be a problem, officer!

I also had a guy tell me over and over again that I was doing picketing for money. I laughed in his face and told him, “Look, the Scientologists used to tell me that Eli Lilly was paying me. Never saw any money from them.” I think it blew the guy away to learn I was paying for all this (yeah, posterboard, car, gas, time) on my own.

I am, however, looking into buying a GoPro because I thought the cop was a bit overbearing, asking for my fellow picketer’s name, ID, doing a check on the plates, and, after the car was moved to a side street driving up to the car and looking into the windows. Definitely think I need some video coverage.

This is what flipped out the security people at “The Trinity Church, Scottsdale, AZ”:

Eric The Fruit Bat  Sep 11, 2016 • 2:11:40pm

And my favorite liberterian crank is now quoting Scott Adams, saying that the race is now over

You probably wonder if the “overheated” explanation is true – and a non-issue as reported – or an indication of a larger medical condition. I’m blogging to tell you it doesn’t matter. The result is the same.

Here’s why.

If humans were rational creatures, the time and place of Clinton’s “overheating” wouldn’t matter at all. But when it comes to American psychology, there is no more powerful symbol of terrorism and fear than 9-11 . When a would-be Commander-in-Chief withers – literally – in front of our most emotional reminder of an attack on the homeland, we feel unsafe. And safety is our first priority.

Hillary Clinton just became unelectable.

The mainstream media might not interpret today’s events as a big deal. After all, it was only a little episode of overheating. And they will continue covering the play-by-play action until election day. But unless Trump actually does shoot someone on 5th Avenue, he’s running unopposed.

Remember, this is the man who’s voting for Clinton because he’s too chickenshit to Vote for Trump for fear he’s be assassinated!

Sadly, Scott, even if you were assassinated I don’t think you’d be missed all that much these days anyway.

It would be, Trump faints and is taken to a hospital for a checkup.

Slightly less even. Nothing than a course of antibiotics and some slowing of pace and paying attention to your hydration can’t fix. And she has contact with an MD over it, and probably will have a better handle not to over-estimate her endurance after this incident.

Of course, now will begin the second-guessing of her doctor, as the media personalities weigh in to give their amateur video diagnoses. Bringing in “medical experts” who will insist that the video disproves the pneumonia diagnosis, because obviously she’s suffering symptoms that point to a much more dire disease. And the wingnuts will insist the doctor’s creating a cover story for a much worse disease.

Dem operatives: @HillaryClinton can NOT campaign with pneumonia, expect emergency DNC meeting in days to pick replacement.

Pneumonia is a serious illness, but not a chronic, long-term disability. If Clinton really is too sick to campaign, she needs to take a few days off. It would be ridiculously easy to turn it back on the Repubs and their degenerate media shills: The family and the DNC issue daily; check that, hourly; updates. Bill could hold daily press conferences on the matter (he is good at that sort of thing). The world focuses on her struggle to get well. She recovers and stages a triumphal comeback.

Blue Origin Plans Next New Shepard Test for October

They’re planning an abort test, right at Max-Q:

The test, Bezos acknowledged, will likely destroy the booster module, which has flown four previous New Shepard launches dating back to November 2015. “The booster was never designed to survive an in-flight escape,” he wrote. “The capsule escape motor will slam the booster with 70,000 pounds of off-axis force delivered by searing hot exhaust. The aerodynamic shape of the vehicle quickly changes from leading with the capsule to leading with the ring fin, and this all happens at maximum dynamic pressure.”

However, simulations suggest it may be possible for the booster to survive the test and make a powered landing. “If the booster does manage to survive this flight — its fifth — we will in fact reward it for its service with a retirement party and put it in a museum,” he said.

I hope they move it back here to Kent, where it was built. I’ve never been able to get an actual address on them—just somewhere in a sea of warehouses.

Pneumonia is still a serious illness and kills lots of people every year. My grandfather died of pneumonia(he was already in bad health as he was recovering from colon cancer). Bacterial pneumonia can be treated with antibiotics, but they won’t do piss all for viral or fungal pneumonia.

Sounds like Hillary has the bacterial sort so, she’ll probably be fine in a couple weeks, unless they just started her on antibiotics while waiting for the lab tests to come back which is pretty typical too.

Yes, even if it’s not fatal it can have adverse longterm consequences. My mother in the late ’80s got pneumonia, kept busy without taking care of herself properly, and ended up hospitalized. By the time she was out she had lost quite a bit of lung capacity. She has suffered from long coughing spells (doctor has said that if she had been a smoker she would have died) ever since. Now she uses oxygen frequently.

We’re constantly surrounded by vast numbers of bacteria, including some which can cause pneumonia. We normally fend these off.

I spoke to actual doctors at the Mayo Clinic about pneumonia when my mom caught it a few years back. I’m just repeating what they told me. Pneumonia itself is not a disease, it’s a condition caused by bacterial or viral infection, and it’s very rare for it to be passed through the air to other people.

I was off on a ride, and missed my opportunity to share MY pneumonia story. 4 hours on the bike, and the window appeared, opened, and shut while I was still miles from home.

So, instead, I’ll share this picture of The Ancestral Home, so y’all can see why I get homesick like yesterday, and spew electrons all over the internet about it…

Bacteria are so prevalent on Earth that NASA may have to replot Curiosity’s future moves because, even after millions of miles travelling through space and spending years on a frozen, extremely dry planet whose atmosphere is just 1% of Earths (and which is almost completely composed of CO2), there likely still are viable bacteria or virii on the thing.

Curiosity may be heading into an area where it can get within kilometer of some possible water, not known at the time of the plotting the original path.

For weeks now, I’ve heard wingnuts insist she was “in seclusion” because she was deathly ill. She wasn’t holding as many rallies as Trump, not making as many public appearances, and that was “proof” that she was on death’s doorstep. So today, we find out that she’s been working despite a diagnosis of pneumonia and what are the wingnuts now telling me? “She’s working herself to death! She’s endangering her health! She needs to resign the race to recover!”

Not necessarily. There’s several kinds of pneumonia — it just means fluid in the lungs, which often has bacterial or viral causes but not always.

And with “walking pneumonia”, people don’t always feel bad enough to realize they’re not just tired and achy.

Obama made the trip to Hawaii to produce a notarized copy of his birth certificate to prove he was born there. The result? The birthers moved the goalposts, the press entertained their new goal, and the issue kept going. It never truly died until he was in office for years and both Congress and SCOTUS refused to entertain the matter any further.

Just finished reading the last volume of this great graphic novel series. If y’all ain’t read it yet, I’d highly recommend it. It’s a street-level history of the Civil Rights Movement as told by Rep.

It seems Stonekettle’s tired-of-hearing-about-9-11 wasn’t the kind of things facebook wanted, so they took it down. I can’t figure out the best part to put in, because I’d have to copy the whole thing, so go read it.

Oh, that looks good! We had a hunk of broiled salmon, rice, miso, and a potato-carrot—chicken dish that is cooked in soy sauce and (I think) some sugar.

After weeks of remote diagnosing her with every conceivable wasting illness on the books, we’re supposed to believe that wingnuts would have taken it well if she’d announced on Friday that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia but was going to press on? HA! I’d sooner believe little green men landed on the White House lawn.

Ok, you folks all got me…what was wrong with the article? It seemed like a pretty straightforward explanation of the illness, symptoms, treatment, and typical recovery.

For me is was really the tweet with the “dangerous to people over 65” caption; yes, it may be true, but that doesn’t belong in the tweet caption; it’s too “nudge nudge wink wink.”

My understanding is that there’s a mutually-agreed moratorium today on campaigning, just as there was in 2012. You may remember that that’s why Willard got ran through the wringer for breaking said moratorium to give his little “The President is so wrong for not hating on foreigners” remark before walking away with a smirk on his face like he’d won the election right then and there.

Late to the party, apologies if this has been suggested -

The only way the Independent Doctor Challenge would work would be if it was issued by a third party - Warren Buffett maybe, or Mark Cuban.

Or if you want exploded wingnut head parts everywhere, Soros.

Or Dr Sanjay Gupta…

oh wait, the RWNJ won’t accept that either. Never mind.
