Can you perhaps find a few posts of mine where I undermine "democracy"? Look as far and wide and deeply as you can, because I'll bet that you can't find a single post where I attempt to undermine "democracy".

First, you have to demonstrate that they've actually done what you accuse them of doing. Since you tend to hyperventilate about anything having to do with "Russia" you often you blame them for things they haven't done. But generally, I just don't address Russia's actions, just like I don't address China's, or Nigeria's, or many of the other 200 nations in the world, unless I think it will impact us in some way. In that sense I guess I'm an equal-opportunity-ignorer.

Yeah that's funny SIG. You're doing it in this very post by suggesting I always make false claims about Russia. About many things which you ALWAYS claim they haven't done. Secondly, how bout you show me posts where I falsely accuse Russia of anything SIG, anything.

As for the rest of what you say, it is a whopper of a lie. That's all I'll say to that, for now. You better hope other posters here don't start posting mile long lists of you criticizing everyone but Putin and his allies, proving you a liar. Although come to think of it, that has been done many times a day here for years.

If I were Putin when it comes to paying you to troll for him I'd ask for my money back. You really can't make a point stick.

So basically THUGR, you have not found any posts of mine where I've attempted to undermine "democracy".

Because if you had, you would surely have splashed it in ALL CAPS in your reply.

Right??

It's just another false accusation in your very, very long list of false accusations.

I think you owe me an apology, don't you?

-----

Also, I didn't say you "always" hyperventilate about anything to do with Russia, just that you do it frequently. (Another false accusation. You make a habit of that, don't you?)

For example, your constantly calling me a "Russian troll".

Really? You have no evidence that I am (1) a troll (you certainly are, tho) (2) Russian (3) a plant.

And since your described "russian agenda" consists of me supposedly undermining "democratic institutions" (Something you can't find in my posts, because it's not there.) and not getting on your anti-Russian bandwagon (You must be Joe McCarthy's reincarnation.) and since I've been posting here on this no-account board for 14 years, doesn't that argue that I am exactly who say I am, a Firefly fan with no "hidden" agenda?

In fact, the thing that chaps your ass is that you think that I criticize "America". But the reality is, I don't criticize "America". I'm quite vocal about the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and frequently refer to the Founding Fathers in my criticisms.

And if you were to look at what and who I'm criticizing, am I really criticizing "America"? Or am I criticizing transnational banks and monopolistic corporations, un-payable debts, the deep state, and wars of aggression?

Are you so wedded to banks, corporations, and wars of aggression that you, personally, feel stung when these entities and events are criticized? Do you feel that "America" is constituted of banks, wars, free trade, and backroom deals? Is that what you feel you must defend?

In terms of acknowledging that the Globe/Planet has gotten smaller and American politics cannot be just about ourselves? Then, I agree. I know that's not what you mean though, so whatever.


Your post is so much blah blah blah I'm not even going to quote it all.

Alas for you and Hillary, Hillary has a long-established foreign policy and free-trade record. What she's supported isn't a matter of "opinion", it's a matter of fact, and all you have to do is look at (if nothing else) her voting record.

At this point, I'm a three-issue voter:

Quote:

I'm against "free trade".


Yep. Everyone should have to pay for trade!

Quote:

I'm against foreign policy aggression.


Yep. Aggression should be kept at home - Go NRA!

Quote:

I'm against the international banking cartel.


Again we agree. I want money in my pocket and no where else.

Quote:

My posts from years ago should have made that plain, and my huge concern about the environment will have to wait. I have explained my motives why I'm against Hillary over and over; you don't need to question my motives or speculate about them unless you want to insinuate that I'm hiding some deep dark secret. Which, apparently, you want to do.


Good old Mother Earth is millions of years old, to quote George Carlin, and will be around for many millions more. Of course humans, OTOH, will not. So really we are not saving the environment, but desperately trying to save our skins and those of future generations. Mother Earth will brush us off and keep right on spinning without batting an eyelash. Unless, of course, we get one of those "global killer" asteroids that will pulverize the world and will make a nuclear bomb look like a spit-wad piece of paper.


From your behavior, and that of MAL4, SECOND and SGG, what I gather is that liberals are as big assholes as conservatives.

You hear that fellas, we're a bunch of assholes. I've always wanted to be a Big Asshole. Well, hush my mouth and call me shorty! And here I thought I was
a Pisces.

IDK about the other assholes, but whenever I feel threatened, I run and hide in the closet. BTW while I'm in there, I touch myself. Full disclosure!

Quote:

It turns out, that you're not as nice and reasonable as you think you are. That, by the way, has some interesting consequences for the rest of the world. Because liberals, in their desire to "help" the world in the way they think it should be "helped", think nothing of first bombing and killing those they disagree with. It's called "R2P" and it's been a great rationale for killing an awful lot of people.


Really Dr. Sig, you figured it out. I'm a Baaaaad man, and should be punished accordingly. The cuffs, leather whips and latex jumpsuit is in the top left-hand drawer. The safe word is......HOIL!!!
Bombing & Killing, hmmmmmm that does have a nice ring to it, don't it?

Quote:

When you want to discuss the topic of Hillary's health, I'll be here.


Hilary's health right now is a non-issue. But, if it makes you feel any better; she will soon die a horrible death as she's too old to fulfill the duties of her appointed rounds as Salamander-in-Chief, and will turn over the reigns to husband Bill. Yes, that's the grand scheme she and Obama cooked up while your back was turned. You didn't think that they would just hand it over to Donald Duck, did you?

We now return your screen to our regularly scheduled program. Assholes and Elbows or How I learned to Obey the dulcet tones of Sig & 1Kiki despite my gag reflex.

Doctor: Hillary's "Abnormal Eye Movements" Hint At Serious Health Issues

By John R. Coppedge, MD, FACS

Quote:

In 2014 Conan O'Brien did a spoof of Hillary Clinton's interview with Diane Sawyer about her lack of lingering health issues following her 2012 concussion. In an obviously photoshopped version Clinton's eyes are made to oscillate crazily. It was a very funny piece. Now, it may not seem so funny.

Hillary Clinton exhibited abnormal eye movements during her recent speech in Philadelphia and they were not photoshopped.



Her eyes did not always move in the same direction at the same time. It appears that she has a problem with her left sixth cranial nerve. That nerve serves only one function and that is to make the lateral rectus muscle contract. That muscle turns the eye in the direction away from the midline.

It comes out of the base of the brain and runs along the floor of the skull, immediately beneath the brain before coursing upward to the eye. Dysfunction of that muscle causes the striking picture of the eyes not aiming in the same direction and causes the patient to suffer double vision.

Like all things medical, there is a long list of potential causes but in my opinion the most likely one, based on Clinton's known medical history is an intermittent lateral rectus palsy caused by damage to or pressure on her sixth cranial nerve.

It is known that she suffered a traumatic brain injury in late 2012 when she fell and struck her head. What is also known is that she was diagnosed with a transverse sinus thrombosis — blood clot in the major vein at the base of the brain. Almost all patients with a transverse sinus thrombosis suffer swelling of the brain and increased intracranial pressure. Most have headaches, balance issues and visual disturbances — all of which Clinton was reported to have following that event.

Clinton's physician reported that she was placed on Coumadin (a blood thinner) to dissolve the blood clot.

Actually, that is incorrect, because Coumadin has no effect on an existing clot.

TPA- tissue plasminogen activator - is used to dissolve existing clots

Quote:

It serves only to decrease the chance of further clotting occurring Clinton's physician has also reported that on follow up exam, the clot had resolved. That is surprising since the majority of such clots do not dissolve. The way it was documented that the clot had resolved has not been reported.

If, as is statistically likely, Clinton's transverse sinus is still blocked, she would still have increased pressure and swelling and decreased blood flow to her brain. That swelling would place pressure on the exposed portion of the sixth cranial nerve at the base of her brain, explaining the apparent lateral rectus palsy. And such a deficit can be partial and/or intermittent.

Additionally, when patients who have decreased intracranial blood flow becoming volume depleted (dehydrated) or have a drop in blood pressure loss of consciousness can occur. That could explain her witnessed collapse in New York City on 9/11.

One thing that is taught early in medical school is that a patient's history, physical exam, signs and symptoms should usually lead to a single diagnosis.

Crudely put "when you itch, it is probably not lice and fleas but one or the other." More professionally put, in most cases the patient's symptoms can be explained by one unifying diagnosis, not a constellation of disparate ones. The admittedly speculative scenario I propose is an attempt to understand and rationally explain what is going on, based on known facts and the observable signs exhibited by Clinton.

Having previously written about this, I once again suggest that she undergo an independent neurologic exam and have proper studies to determine whether or not she still has a blood clot at the base of her brain, swelling of the brain, increased intracranial pressure and whether or not her 2012 traumatic brain injury was accompanied by a skull fracture with or without bleeding around or in the brain itself and if there are any residual areas of scarring of the brain.

Critics will rightly point out that I have not examined Clinton. They will point out that I am not ophthalmologist or a neurologist. But I am a physician and the concepts discussed above are taught to every medical student early in their education. Her traumatic brain injury, transverse sinus thrombosis, subsequent symptoms, falling, passing out and now the obvious problem with eye movement are all fact, not speculation.

It would be very helpful if Clinton agreed to an independent exam and to have the questions raised here answered. It is too important not to get this right.

SHINYGOODGUY


Okay, I'm going to share something with you guys that I recently discovered, and it's a doozie.

I got my hands on a doctor's report that Donald Trump, yes that guy, has a rare disease - "a particular abnormal condition, a disorder of a structure or function." I have it on good authority, his doctor, Harold Bornstein, and confirmed by Sanjay Gupta - famous neurosurgeon - that Trump suffers from a rare neurological disorder known as digital stiphtococyl dysplasia or "stiff" finger.

As many of you may have noticed, as he is giving his world-renowned speeches
(not the teleprompter type, but the free wheeling diatribe) he forcefully points his finger in the air as though poking a balloon to keep it aloft.
Not many know this, but that's an ailment which, of course, the main stream
media will never speak about. Digital stiphtococyl dysplasia, or DSD, could strike at any time but is restricted to blond haired, blue-eyed people of the Caucasian persuasion, usually the male. It mostly strikes individual
fingers on either hand, but sometimes it visits the lower extremities as well.

Trump is the first public figure to have this rare disease and it usually
strikes whenever the subject becomes agitated and confused. At times it
appears that the subject is actually saying things of some import, but actually it comes out as gobbledee gook. Watch him next time he gives one of his speeches and you'll notice. It mostly affects his right hand, but sometimes it affects both. In his case, he normally points his right index finger straight up in the air, with his wrist slightly bent, as though he's going to smoke a cigarette or press the flight attendant button.

Bing! May I help you sir?

But sometimes his right index finger will fold involuntarily. That's an indication that something is definitely wrong in the brain pan. The bragging, lying and incoherent speech patterns are signs that something
else is amiss, but it usually coincides with the DSD. Dr. Bornstein says
that otherwise he's as healthy as an ox, and that it shouldn't prevent him from running the country (and conducting his businesses). Good to hear!

But I've noticed that it's starting to spread to his other fingers, plus he's
having trouble, at times, negotiating his index fingers (of either hand) to
point straight up. That makes me a little worried. What if it spreads to his
toes as well? Would he be able to walk? How embarrassing would it be to have him trip and fall in front of Putin, because he can't control his toes?

Hopefully Dr. Bornstein will be able to find a cure in time for the November
elections.

This has been a PSA paid for by the Trump Foundation

Dr. Lisa Bardack’s Faustian Bargain
Submitted by Jay Michaels via AmericanThinker.com,

Quote:

“Oh what tangled webs we weave, when we first practice to deceive.” Sir Walter Scott

When Dr. Lisa Bardack was asked to become Hillary Clinton’s personal physician in 2001, it had to have been a crowning moment in the career of the Mt. Kisco internist. Dr. Bardack could have anticipated little downside. She already had the responsibility -- and legal obligation under HIPAA -- to protect the privacy of her patient. She and her staff would have to be especially scrupulous in the case of a senator with presidential ambitions, but this should not have posed a serious problem.

Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton corrupts everyone who serves her. And this year Bardack encountered difficulties she could not have foreseen in 2001:

1. Clinton developed serious medical issues.

2. The candidate was being videoed, not only during campaign stops, speeches, townhalls, and the rare press conference, but before and after events -- by individuals with cell phones who were under no obligation to obey orders given to servile journalists to turn off their cameras.

3. The internet not only permitted the mass distribution of these videos and photos, but it enabled those who were curious to check Bardack’s reports against information available on reputable medical sites. It also enabled skeptical physicians to share their doubts with hundreds of thousands of readers.

In July 2015, the Clinton campaign asked Bardack to give the candidate a clean bill of health. She was to disclose, selectively, some of her patient’s medical history. But the letter was not widely analyzed until after the disturbing September 11 video by Zdenek Gazda, the Zapruder of 2016. It was no longer possible to dismiss those asking questions about Hillary’s health as right-wing conspiracy theorists, and the campaign now requested a second letter from Dr. Bardack explaining the event. The physician duly issued a report on September 14. Now her real problems began.

Let’s take a look at the two letters and some of questions doctors have asked about the diagnoses and treatment.

I. The letter of 12 July 2015
Bardack’s summary revealed a couple of major health problems that had not been previously disclosed. We had been told that Clinton suffered an elbow fracture in 2009 and a concussion in 2012. The fact that a woman in her mid-60s would fall twice ought perhaps to have raised some red flags. In particular, unless you’re being tackled or attacked, a concussion can usually be avoided by the body’s reflexes. Arms are extended to break the fall.

But now the public learned that some time in 2009 and in December 2012, the month of the concussion, Clinton had suffered blood clots.

She already had a history of clotting. Running for the Presidential nomination in the fall of 2007, Hillary gave an extended interview on her 60th birthday in which she disclosed that she’d had a life-threatening medical emergency in 1998. The crisis had been kept a secret not only from the public, but from her staff, who were told she had a sprained ankle. Clinton’s foot had swollen and she was in great pain. A White House doctor told her to rush to Bethesda Naval Hospital, where the diagnosis of a blood clot was made. "That was scary,” Hillary said, “because you have to treat it immediately -- you don't want to take the risk that it will break lose and travel to your brain, or your heart or your lungs. That was the most significant health scare I've ever had." Clinton assured the reporter that she was no longer on blood thinners. This was probably the last time Hillary spoke candidly about her health.

What Clinton had was a deep vein thrombosis, or venous thromboembolism (VTE). The blood clot is usually in the leg, and in Hillary’s case, it was behind the right knee.

Now Dr. Bardack revealed that Hillary had had two others. The first, in 2009, was another VTE, but the second was still more serious. It was a right transverse cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). This is a clot in one of the two channels between layers of the dura, the membrane enclosing the brain, which receive blood and cerebrospinal fluid. A clot here means that blood flow out of the brain is impeded, and there is the potential for a hemorrhage if there’s leakage into the cerebral tissues. The Johns Hopkins Health Library refers to it as a rare form of stroke affecting only five in one million individuals. It’s treated with anti-seizure medicines as well as anticoagulants, and the complications range from impaired speech, difficulty moving parts of the body, and vision problems to death.

There were two problems in the 2015 letter relating to the clot:

1) Clinton, her physician wrote, “began anticoagulation therapy to dissolve the clot.” But this is not something anticoagulants do. Two of these drugs are mentioned by Bardack: Lovenox, which was discontinued beuing administered to her in 1998, and Coumadin (warfarin).

Bristol-Myers-Squibb, its manufacturer, says explicitly that the medication doesn’t dissolve clots:

COUMADIN has no direct effect on an established thrombus, nor does it reverse ischemic tissue damage.
Every doctor prescribing Coumadin knows this. Because of patient expectations, all reputable medical sites, like the NIH’s PubMed, repeat the warning.
There are thrombolytic (clot-dissolving) drugs, injected by catheter or infused through an i.v., but none are mentioned by Bardack. In any case, the embolisms for which thrombolytic agents are indicated don’t correspond to Clinton’s, and these drugs are never referred to as anticoagulants.

2. A second problem comes with the duration of the symptoms. Bardack says that these lasted for less than two months. But according to Bill Clinton, his wife’s injury “required six months of very serious work to get over.”

Of course it could be that the four addition months of symptoms were the result not of the concussion, but the CVST. However, it would not be easy to differentiate these symptoms. One is instinctively disinclined to take the former President’s word on anything, but there’d be no reason for him to exaggerate the length of time it took his wife to recover.

In any case, what the public was told was an elbow fracture (Hillary sported a State Department sling) and a concussion (she was jokingly presented with a football helmet by her minions) coincided with problems much more ominous.

3. A third issue in the 2015 letter is Bardack’s final evaluation of her patient. Twice she calls Clinton “a healthy female” and concludes that “she is in excellent physical condition and fit to serve as President of the United States.”

While Bardack could hardly have been expected to write otherwise, the truth is that anyone who is on lifelong Coumadin is not in excellent physical condition. As is well known, warfarin was developed as a rat poison, and increases significantly the risk of intercranial intracranial bleeding. A recent ten-year study of 32,000 veterans found that nearly one-third developed intercranial intracranial bleeds while on warfarin. The vets were over 75, but the high figure was still very disturbing, though probably not surprising to most physicians.

Dr. Milton Wolf, a board-certified radiologist, writes, “Coumadin carries a substantial risk for patients, particularly those with fall risk. Spontaneous hemorrhage common, intracranial and elsewhere. I see it commonly, including life-threatening brain bleeds. Normal, healthy patients are NEVER, NEVER prescribed Coumadin.” There are safer anticoagulants. “Coumadin is typically given to those who can’t afford the newer drugs or reserved for cases that are refractory to the safer drugs.” Wolf speculates that Clinton probably has a hypercoagulable blood disorder. Coumadin would otherwise be given only to patients with chronic atrial fibrillation (like the vets) or with prosthetic heart valves, both of which can cause hypercoagulation.

The interactions with warfarin are also sobering. In addition to avoiding both NSAIDs and acetaminophen, users are advised not to use, or to use with caution, antibiotics, anti-fungal medications, anti-depressants, and seizure medication -- carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Equetro, Tegretol), phenobarbital (Solfoton), and phenytoin (Dilantin).

Whether or not Hillary has been put at risk by seizure medications, the whole world now knows about her propensity to fall. The airplane and podium stumbles and her being helped up a short flight of steps had gone viral long before the 9/11 collapse. And we know nothing about the falls that have occurred off-camera, except for the one that gave her a concussion. Family friends have told Ed Klein these falls are frequent. And head trauma is the number one concern for patients on Coumadin.

4. Still another disclosure in Bardack’s July 2015 letter raised eyebrows. In addition to taking Coumadin for the rest of her life, Hillary will also be on Armour thyroid until she dies. Unlike CVST, hypothyroidism, an underactive thyroid gland, is common. In fact, the most frequently prescribed drug in the U.S. (though not the most lucrative) is Synthroid, synthetic levothyroidoxine, the major hormone the gland produces.

Armour thyroid is an extract of desiccated pig’s thyroid. The therapy dates to the 19th century, and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists recommends that it not be used. But a case can be made for natural thyroid therapy, and one recent study found that more patients prefer it, though there was no difference in the control of symptoms. These include memory problems and difficulty thinking clearly. A physician who is one of the most vocal advocates of natural thyroid switched to a different brand of natural thyroid after Armour changed the tablet formula in 2009.
II. The letter of 14 September 2016

1. Bardack disclosed that Clinton was given a brain scan for an ear infection after she had “experienced significant improvement in her symptoms.” The physician of a patient “in excellent health” would not normally order a CT scan for an ear infection that was being successfully treated by antibiotics and a myringotomy tube. Bardack’s caution, however commendable, suggests she was worried about some underlying problem.

2. Bardack then discusses Hillary’s pneumonia. When an upper respiratory infection persisted for a week after Clinton had been prescribed antibiotics and allergy medicine, Bardack, on Sept. 9, ordered “a non-contrast chest CT scan, including a CTA calcium score.”

According to Dr. Wolf, a CTA (a CT angiogram) scan always requires a contrast. On the other hand, a CT calcium score study must always be non-contrast, otherwise “the coronary calcifications would be masked by the contrast in the arteries.” The radiologist concluded that “Hillary’s doctor just claimed Hillary got a perfect score on a test that does not exist.”

It’s likely that Bardack misstated what she’d ordered -- though one would think she would be extraordinarily careful in a letter that would be read by millions. A coronary calcium scoring CT does not use contrast, while a CTA requires it. A simple thoracic CT, which is what Hillary must have received, may or may not be done with contrast.

3. Then there’s the finding from the scan: “a small right middle-lobe pneumonia,” further described as “a mild non-contagious bacterial pneumonia.”

Doctors immediately questioned this diagnosis. There is no such thing as a non-contagious pneumonia, tweeted Dr. Wolf. How did Hillary pick it up? What about all the reports the campaign circulated about staffers who’d come down with pneumonia, including manager Robbie Mook?

While bacterial pneumonia is not as contagious as viral pneumonia, there is no test to determine whether or not a patient is contagious. A doctor defending Bardack listed three types of bacterial pneumonia not likely to be contagious. The only one that Hillary could possibly have had was aspiration pneumonia.

The dubious adjective “non-contagious” may have been dictated to Bardack by Clinton. The problem, obviously, was that after her collapse, the candidate went directly to her daughter’s apartment, where she presumably exposed her grandchildren to pneumonia, then, 90 minutes later, bounced out of the building, exulting that it was a beautiful day in New York, and embraced a little girl, exposing her, too, to the infection.

Other doctors have also pointed out how the photo-op undercut the “pneumonia” explanation. “I’m feeling great,” Hillary said three times, not something a pneumonia patient is likely to exclaim.

4. Apart from a case of “mild non-contagious pneumonia,” what felled Clinton on September 11th, wrote Bardack, was that “she became overheated and dehydrated.” Even MSM reporters questioned the “overheated” pretext. The day was partly cloudy and the temperature about 80, with a slight breeze. Dehydration is hardly less suspicious. First of all, it’s been used repeatedly for other falls. And medical science has come up with a cure for dehydration. While Marco Rubio was ridiculed for taking a swig of water in the middle his reply to the President’s 2013 State of the Union address, no one who valued his job would criticize Hillary for “re-hydrating” during an event. One would expect that someone who had experienced multiple falls and was on Coumadin would take every precaution to avoid dehydration -- especially when it’s such a simple matter.

5. If Hillary’s dramatic recovery casts doubt on Bardack’s diagnosis, so does the fall itself. It was not a swoon, as one might expect, where Clinton appeared woozy, lost consciousness, and her knees buckled. Instead, she becomes stiff and immobile. She is propped up against a bollard. It’s only when the Secret Service agents attempt to propel her forward that she falls. It’s not clear she’s lost conscious; she is just frozen, unable to move.

6. Pictures taken of Clinton en route to the van also undermine Bardack’s explanation. In one, Hillary is being given what appears to be a finger squeeze test.

The test is a neurological exam, sometimes used also as a test for arthritis. There would be no reason to administer it to a patient suffering from pneumonia.

In the second photo, the same woman, Christine Falvo, appears to be monitoring Clinton’s pulse as they walk. Hillary has her other hand pressed against her chest, an unusual position for someone in motion, but a good way to disguise the pill-rolling tremor associated with Parkinson’s disease.

Also present in the photos, inevitably, is the bulky African-American Secret Service agent who clearly has had some medical training. When Hillary froze during a speech on August 4, it was he who rushed to her side, put his hand on her back, kept repeating, “Keep talking, keep talking,” and then shooed away the other agents. Some sites have posted pictures of him holding what appears to be a diazepam injector, used for seizures, but the images are too blurry to positively identify the object.

There is no photo of either the Secret Service medic or Falvo offering the dehydrated Hillary a bottle of water.

7. Bardack’s 2015 letter mentioned the Fresnel prism glasses Hillary wore to eliminate double vision. The 2016 letter makes no mention of the Zeiss Z1 blue lenses she was wearing on September 11th. These are used to help prevent seizures, particularly in photosensitive epilepsy, and improve motor control. They are not normally prescribed for patients with pneumonia or seasonal allergies.

8. Also unmentioned by Bardack are Hillary’s repeated coughing episodes, going back at least to January of this year. Here’s video of eight. Has Clinton had pneumonia for nine months? Or is this a symptom of a neurodegenerative problem causing pulmonary aspiration?

9. Finally, the fact that Hillary was not rushed to a hospital after the collapse and given another CT suggests that her handlers knew exactly what was going on. And it wasn’t pneumonia.

The physician who has put forward the most plausible case that Hillary is suffering from Parkinson’s disease is Dr. Ted Noel, whose videos I linked in a recent blog post.

Though there’s been no sign so far of the pill-rolling tremor or the shuffling gait characteristic of Parkinson’s, other evidence suggests Clinton is suffering from the disease, or experiencing side effects associated with the drug most commonly used to manage it, levodopa, which include disorientation and confusion and dyskinesia (involuntary muscle movements).

Examples of the latter are Clinton’s spasmodic head movements while being questioned by several reporters (attributed by Hillary to her cold chai tea) and, less dramatically, her response to the light show at the end of the Democratic convention.

Dr. Noel has a newer video out that further undercuts Bardack’s credibility. In addition to mentioning Wolf’s point about CT angiography, he carefully describes problems with the oxygen saturation levels reported by Hillary’s physician, and her use of an outdated test to manage Clinton’s hypothyroidism.

If she doesn’t have Parkinson’s, Hillary clearly has some major neurological disorder.

Bardack has already been targeted by Google reviewers. Purportedly coming from Chelsea is a one-star rating and the comment, “My mother died of Parkinson’s after she was diagnosed with pneumonia.”

Lisa Bardack will be fortunate if satiric reviews are the worst consequences for the disinformation campaign she has helped wage in Hillary’s behalf.

I'm with you in regards that the above is not "entirely supportable." The fact that a 6o-plus year old woman can and does have medical ailments is not a shocker to me. The fact that she wears dark sunglasses can mean several things, but I'm afraid that a medical diagnosis cannot be determined merely by looking at someone's sunglasses.

Trump may have a psychological disorder because of his constant lies and braggadocio. But does that make me Dr. Phil? I think not. Still though it is cause for concern. If you feel that Hillary is physically unable to perform
her duties as president, well then, don't vote for her. I don't trust Trump, mainly because of his penchant for lying (politicians do to some extent) but because of his embrace of the more colorful side of white supremacy. Oh, and it does exist. He could try his best to hide it, but I know it when I see it. Just like you see Hillary's illness, and for that I don't need a doctorate in psychology.

If Bernie Sander was on the ticket and HE showed the same symptoms, I'd be very worried. I'd be scrutinizing the VP choice very closely!

But my main concern about Hillary is that she's a warmongering neocon. Oh, and a sociopathic globalist. Since I can't imagine too many people worse than her, I guess her veep choice doesn't concern me much. I wonder what's going to happen in the debate tomorrow? Will Hillary be capable, or will they have to pump her full of drugs, or use a body double? (I refer to Scott Adams for that last point.)

I really wonder, tho - aside from the horrible things that you imagine about Trump (and there are many) - what do you HOPE for from a Hillary admin?

Here's your guy SIG in his own words. I assume you stand by this moron right? And you think Clinton is more dangerous? What's my point in posting this? To show your judgement is terrible and not to be considered in any intelligent discussion. Let's remember who most Trumps supporters are. The uneducated SIG, and many, many bigots.

I agree that Democrats have a poor track record when it comes to being stalwarts in servicing their constituents, but the alternative is Repubs catering to the rich and super rich. Trump's tax platform does just that, now how is that serving the very people that he's appealing too? Plus repealing Obamacare will throw millions into financial limbo. I understand that his economic proposals could likely drive up the deficit, a republican staple. So, it would seem that both parties have their picadillos.

Just as an aside; it's been getting busier lately at my job. Something may come of this latest surge in activity, hopefully it will spread across the country.

Maybe democratic senators, representatives and presidents need to be scared for their jobs, then. Because if you're looking for better representation, the vote is the only legal tool we have, and defecting as voters is the only consequence we can bring to bear. If you live in a state that's safe either way, it's time to start voting 'other'.

Everyone wants better government, but in America there is a caveat: better only for one person. If government gets better for everyone, a majority of the voters won't like it. For example there is student-loan debt or tuition free college. Politicians can talk all they want, but if they try to pass any change, those who are not going to college, those who already paid back their debt, will be very angry at the unfairness of it.

Vote for 'other', not D or R, because 'other' will promise tuition free college and all the 'other' things your heart desires. 'other' will never face the angry voters WHO DESPISE YOU and DO NOT WANT WHAT YOU WANT.

I completely don't understand what you mean.

If what you're trying to say is that this is a zero-sum system, and people will inevitably vote for them and theirs against thee and thine, you might be right.

But that doesn't explain what's going on now, where the vast, vast majority are disadvantaged and a tiny fraction of a minority is literally unbelievably advantaged (see 'Inside Claridge's for an eye opening education on how people live who have so much money they literally can't spend it all). Nor does it explain how it is that our 'democracy' fails so completely to represent us but works so well at representing the powerful. "New Princeton Study Confirms U.S. Is No Longer A Democracy, Is Now An Oligarchy"

If people are really voting for their own interests like you seem to be saying they are, it's failing miserably.

If people are really voting for their own interests like you seem to be saying they are, it's failing miserably.

I probably should have put better government in quotes: "better" government. I'll give you one example to help you think: Obamacare. The benefits don't go to everyone. The people who use Obamacare are resentful that they have to sign up for it. They are resentful that they have to pay a small portion of the cost. The Governor of Texas and the Legislature are resentful that the Federal Government only pays 90%, leaving them with a burden of 10%. Texas did NOT expand the Obamacare program to people on Medicaid. Then there are 25 million Texans that are resentful that the program even exists -- it's socialized medicine and death panels for second's Grandma (I'm referring to an actual conversation around the dinner table with Grandma giving her opinion that Obama and Obamacare is bad for the country).

With a state like Texas, and people like Texans, any improvement in Government seems impossible. Why would Democratic politicians at the national level want to help people like this? Yet they do. Why would Republican politicians at the national level want to help people like this? They don't. Every Republican voted against Obamacare and they have voted 100 time to repeal it. Why would 'other' party politicians vote for Obamacare? They don't. Gary Johnson, the Libertarian, wants to end Obamacare. Jill Stein? She wants 1,000 times more than Obamacare. She is hallucinating. Stein is the kind of politician that would draft AND try to pass a law that "cures" cancer and guarantees eternal life. Stein would rather have a glorious defeat than have a partial victory.
