"Hillary's health scare"... We were so naive 8 years ago The media is on fucking repeat,...

I remember this well. I purposely did not listen to the Sunday morning talk shows.
Instead I am watching old Star Wars Voyager reruns.




“Hillary’s health scare”…

We were so naive 8 years ago

The media is on fucking repeat, they just changed the names and pronouns

1. In the past 15 hours, the media did this

On the car radio I tuned to the local pbs station:”Dem leaders increasingly concerned…”

I switched to the local “News and info” station: “after his disastrous debate performance…”

I switched to Bloomberg radio: more of the same

I finally switched to a music station.

These were on as I switched (not after I had been listening awhile) so obviously they are repeating this all day long.

After returning home and going to sleep, I woke up and turned on CNN to help fall back to sleep (MSNBC’s all-nite murder stories don’t help with that). Guess what story was playing as I turned it on?

Everyone knows what Donald Trump is... that is not news. His daily crazy has become routine and not news.

BUT... if they could railroad one of the candidates out of the race...THAT would be huge. Especially if it is the decent human being, the great president, and not the abject shitheel.

If the good man is forced out by his own party with an assist from the press, that becomes an even bigger story.
That is the perfect storm "Democrats in disarray" story: infighting, a messy convention, and the possible loss of Democracy at the hands of a feckless electorate that follows the constant drumbeat of "We want something else."

Democrats have got to start playing the long game and stop taking the bait.

Joe Biden is not some worn-out old shoe to be tossed aside because you want new sneakers. Beware those new sneakers, they may require a lot of breaking in and we don't have time for that,

https://thehill.com/media/297189-abc-reporter-asks-clinton-if-she-needs-neurological-tests/

Clinton laughed off the question by ABC Action News reporter Sarina Fazan, who said some doctors had called on her to take “neuro-cognitive” tests.


The article is quoting Dr. David Shneider here:
“Also, I think she should have had a neurological examination, a thorough neurological examination in 2016,” he added. “We know what happens to football players who have had concussions, how they begin to lose some of their cognitive ability. I think both of them [Trump and Clinton] should release their records.”


A recent Morning Consult poll showed that 79 percent of those surveyed said they have heard “a lot or some about Clinton’s health concerns.” And only 29 percent of those polled believe Clinton has given accurate information about her health.

Maybe She has commented and I just missed it but was kind of hoping for something along the lines of "they tried to say I was on my deathbed too, but I am still standing", or " rumours of my own impending demise were obviously false"
