CNN’s Brian Stelter Puts The Hillary Clinton Stairs Photo In Context (DRUDGE wrong again)

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by In_The_Wind (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

If you’re on Twitter today, you’ve probably seen this old photo of Hillary Clinton making the rounds, the narrative being that her health is so bad that she can’t walk up stairs without help……but it’s not quite what it appears. According to CNN’s Brian Stelter, it’s a photo from February 24 in South Carolina and Hillary had just slipped when the photo was taken: Alright, so using this photo today is not entirely fair, but both candidates should release all of their medical records.

with guys to carry it. And maidens to feed me grapes.

Drudge is a weak noodle compared to Steel Spine Hillary, and he'd never be able to keep up with her, mentally or physically.

... I saw this photo on JPR this morning, and it is apparently proof that Hillary is in terribly poor health and probably suffering from brain damage.

I wouldn't want to think that self-declared True Progressives (TM) are being as deliberately misleading as RW sites like Drudge.

is truly brain-rotting stuff. Today I was reading a piece about Trump's mental health, and a couple paragraphs in I thought: why am I reading this? And I did the healthier thing, went out and dead-headed some plants

I cannot wait until this election season is over. I just wish we could remain suspended between the results of Hillary's victory, and January. Not only will I miss Obama terribly, but I dread the nonsense the Republicans will continue with Hillary.

12. What about Trump?

On his 5th deferment from military service, Trump was classified as 4F. This of course indicates he was unqualified physically or mentally to serve. So, what has changed that now at age 70, he is healthy enough to become the president of the United States? We need to know what his disability is.
