Despite running two of the most famous candidates in history we know nothing about Trump’s personal finances (tax returns) and next to nothing about Hillary’s health (she had to stumble out of an event early for us to find out she had been diagnosed with pneumonia).
ny times: Hillary Clinton Has Pneumonia: What That Means In the statement, Mrs. Clinton’s doctor did not identify the type of pneumonia the candidate has, but said she was prescribed antibiotics and advised to rest. It can take as little as a week for a healthy young person to feel normal again, according to the lung association. But it can be weeks before a middle-age person fully regains strength. Older adults are also one group that is more likely to have complications in recovery. cnn story re pneumonia ends with this report of all meds she’s on: ….Clinton remains on daily blood thinners, something her husband previously revealed. Clinton takes Coumadin, the brand name for the blood thinner warfarin. She also takes Armour Thyroid for her hypothyroidism, antihistamines and Vitamin B12. Clinton has no known drug allergies, does not smoke, use tobacco products or illicit drugs and drinks occasionally, according to… Read more »

Hillary’s Pneumonia: The Media’s Lowest Moment
A 68-year-old woman with pneumonia still kept a schedule that most of us wouldn’t make it through. That’s not weak. That’s actually tough as hell.
not to be morbid, but aside from remembering jim henson being a pneumonia victim at 48, james brown was also at 73
Do Half of Trump’s Supporters Really Belong in a “Basket of Deplorables”? Yes. By Jamelle Bouie But “half” wasn’t wrong. “Half” wasn’t a gross generalization at all. “Half” was by all indications close to the truth. When pollsters and researchers want to measure racial bias, they don’t ask if respondents are “racist”; the stigma of being a racist is strong enough that most people won’t answer honestly, to say nothing of the fact that racial prejudice exists on a continuum. A binary answer doesn’t capture the complexity of bias and bigotry. Instead, they ask proxy questions that try to capture attitudes associated with racism. One such question—asked in multiple surveys by Public Policy Polling, a Democratic polling firm—is whether respondents believe President Obama was born in the United States and whether they believe he’s a Muslim. These questions begin to scratch the surface of racial bias. And what are the results? In… Read more »
is the drumpf laying low on calling for Hillary’s health records in detail because he doesn’t want to release his?
duh
Holy get well wishes from Shkreli…waiting for Clinton to emerge from Chelsea’s appt….what if he had a gun instead of a taunt or worse one of his pharma pills with a big price tag. Then crackerjack, tv doc, gupta announces that Clinton needs an EKG…really, how about the mental diagnosis on trump that you ethically refuse to make (as all docs should)? junk politics and trump barters on taxes, health…show me yours, I will show you mine. The juvenile…inner psycho, sociopathic child of trump. this is not a sales transaction and was a civilized process until the new media wanted to play and ruin the process per putie’s plan. chaos is for the wealthy and deadly for the rest.
WikiLeaks Deletes Twitter Poll Asking Users To Diagnose Hillary Clinton
Allegra Kirkland
tony…I can hardly afford to pay attention, but hubby and I felt something for Clinton. It was that smile after being kicked and kicked again. I know I should have given the lunch money to Craig instead…but I hope more of Clinton’s supporters give her some money to help her recoup. I realize that her attendance at the 9/11 event was personal. Kick the old lady…especially when she is down. All these men making their Mothers proud.
Trump on Clinton’s health: ‘I hope she gets well soon’ By Nolan D. McCaskill Donald Trump on Monday refused to speculate why Hillary Clinton’s campaign didn’t reveal her pneumonia diagnosis sooner but wished her well. “I really just don’t know,” Trump told Fox News. “I hope she gets well soon. I don’t know what’s going on.” Story Continued Below “The GOP presidential nominee had previously attacked Clinton’s health, including a coughing fit she had during a campaign event in Ohio. On Monday, Trump again mentioned the coughing incident and suggested it may have been pneumonia. “I see what I see. The coughing fit was a week ago, so I assume that was pneumonia also,” he says. “I mean, I would think it would have been. So something’s going on but I just hope she gets well and gets back on the trail and we’ll be seeing her at the debate.” As… Read more »
FACTS MATTER
Hillary Clinton Overheated. Don’t Hyperventilate.
An exceptionally bad few days for the Democrat would be a normal Tuesday afternoon for her Republican opponent, who’s daily defining down what it means to be a presidential hopeful.

as a public service announcement, just like putie — I am posting the feedback link to CNN. Speak your mind. Time for an intervention as they think they are ripping away viewers after the chin left faux news to work on trump’s campaign. the octopus of hate has reached the local levels…network feeds with phony press releases…repeating the incorrect, day after day and radio…sputtering idiots of misinformation…I know the 47% (faux news reporting this is as big as the romney gaffe) that live in the basket. I am sure a donor paid big money to have her say that about the basket of deplorables. The alt right already has the t-shirt out proclaiming I am a proud member of the basket…wear your ignorance banner as there is no money to be made on confederate flag anymore.
The real shame is how members of the press latch on the the secrecy crap. It is like they never tried to work through a cold to get the job done. A bunch of lite weights that take the day off at the first sign of a sniffle. When they showed Clintons coughing fit the other day , it reminded me of the bronchitis I got this summer. It started like an allergy problem, the crud in the throat from sinus drainage. but quickly got worse. I was having long bouts of coughing first in the morning then through out the day. Ate a bunch of cough drops The real problem with it was it came back after 4 weeks and I had to go to the doctor again. Pneumonia will have an effect on the campaign. It takes 3 weeks to get over it. That is the real story… Read more »
a CALL to bb, my GO TO blonde binary, you could have been the READ and WRITE to save the Voyagers. You are a hugely talented human, END. Fortran IV, like latin, is still a groovy language. Any algorithm could be applied to the language. It was originally the mother of the punch card and chads…the hanging chad was very important in our lives during the 2000 election. Eventually, programming could be done on the keyboard, not the punch card.
Jack, depends on whether it’s viral or bacterial pneumonia and whether it exists in healthy or compromised lungs. Viral pneumonia can take weeks because nothing does any good against the germs so the body’s immune system has to fight it off. Bacterial pneumonia can improve in a couple of days of antibiotics. (My mom and father in law, both with COPD compromised lungs, had both, so I had to learn a bit about them) There’s also aspiration pneumonia, but that doesn’t seem likely). Don’t know what Hillary has, but if she felt well enough on Sunday to try and attend the 9/11 remembrance after seeing the doc and getting on antibiotics Friday, it’s probably bacterial.
Patd, re: trump not wanting to open the med records can of worms, yes.
I’m with you Jack, her doc reports seasonal allergies…which can turn into bronchitis and onto secondary infections. Too bad the ignorant new media cannot mention climate change and the fact that allergies are increasing worldwide with secondary infections also increasing. Send her some get well money to combat the ignorance.
Link for climate change and allergy increase. Hard to catch your breath during a campaign…or perhaps putie had someone drop some bacteria on Clinton.
my pout continues…where is Melania? Has she already won the job since she is at home ‘loving her country?’ I want to hear more about her plagerizing soul if she is to fill the high heels of the 1st lady.
Been through the Mycoplasm pneumonia a couple times. My guess is they caught it early in her. Last year I started showing signs of it in late May or early June. I was finally down with it in late August and hospitalized. A lot of anti-biotics were flowed into my veins over a week. It took me well over a month to recover and I was only 65. But, mine was a lot advanced because I did not slow down and see my doc when I should have. HRC looks good and will knock it out and sprint to November. So when is the bloater going to release his medical information? He is quiet about this, and that is not normal. I cannot believe anyone has not started leaking drumpf information. And it would not have to be hacked. That would be okay, but an old fashioned leak would be… Read more »
She will probably get the pneumonia vaccine now
Pogo Just going by Mrs Jack a couple of years ago. Her team was finishing up a billion dollar bid proposal. So instead of taking time off she worked(12 hr days) through her “cold” living on over the counter meds. By the time she got home friday night late she was really sick, but she still insisted she could work her way through it. Monday I gave her a choice Go to her doctor or I would load her up and take her. Her doctor loaded her up on antibiotics and steroids. and she was in bed for 2 weeks. Interesting thing the steroids have a side effect of making you hyper and she was taking codeine for her cough, which mellowed her out. BTW she worked from bed, I made her a table to put her lap top on and she wrote a grant as a favor for a local… Read more »
KGC the vaccine only cover pneumococcal pneumonia
BB said “Mycoplasm pneumonia”
Ah yes the infamous “Walking Pneumonia ‘
Jack, yep, “pneumonia” is a lot of things – depending on the type (and we didn’t even talk about hospital acquired stuff – which is typically antibiotic resistant and is what kills folks more than community acquired brands of the stuff) it strikes individuals differently. I mentioned COPD because my mom and F-I-L had trouble shaking their various bouts of it because they both had insufficient expiration effort to help clear it because of their compromised lungs. their docs gave them expirometers to “exercise” their lungs because they both were relatively shallow breathers.
I had walking pneumonia aka fever of an unknown origin in high school. Summer job $$$$$ and a car..
spent about a week in bed and in isolation.
Andrea Mitchell talking with a Clinton campaign rep on her show today – god is that woman simple? Can’t wrap her mind around the fact that the cough could be allergy related and not pneumonia related and the heat/dehydration episode unrelated to the coughing. And she asked whether Clinton would let them (the press, or Andrea? It was unclear) talk to Clinton’s doctor. Do what? The only appropriate answer is “No f_ing way”. They were looping convo with one of the “protective” press pool, who was whining about not being told where HRC went yesterday until later in the day. Protective pool my ass – what the hell is that supposed to be? And do they follow Donald home at night? This borders on insanity.

MSNBC Hallie Jackson aggressively stupid
Florida’s three largest newspapers – the Miami Herald, the Tampa Bay Times and the Orlando Sentinel – just called for a federal investigation of Republican nominee Donald Trump’s payoff to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, which forced the Republican nominee to pay an IRS fine and re-ignited media coverage of the Trump University scam and cover up. To date, 827 Floridians have joined the New York Attorney General’s lawsuit against Donald Trump.
The Tampa Bay Times wrote a tough editorial entitled “Feds should investigate Bondi-Trump connection”:
Slow news day, eh? Here’s something:

So early on Trump said he ha a mole in the Clinton campaign – I think he used that mole to infect the campaign with pneumonia. It turns out quite a few got sick
pogo, about that “protective” press pool… newspeak at its best Bloomberg: Clinton Health Scare Shows How Both Candidates Skirt Close Coverage Neither Trump nor Clinton has agreed to an arrangement with the media known as a protective pool. …. The incident points up one more way the 2016 presidential contest breaks precedent from recent campaigns. At this point in the election calendar, candidates from both parties have followed a protocol that employs what’s known as a protective pool, a small group of media representatives who move with the candidate. It’s the same system used for the president and ensures that any statement or event that potentially could affect the outcome of the campaign or outside situation is rapidly reported to the public. But neither Clinton nor Republican nominee Donald Trump so far has agreed to that level of coverage. The Clinton campaign has said it’s open to instituting a protective pool but hasn’t indicated… Read more »
the drumpf is probably hoping that Hillary will still be convalescing and not able to make the debate. he’s praying for it ’cause she’s getting all this time abed to study up. in the meantime, it looks like he’s also plotting ways to wiggle out or at least really play down expectations. from usatoday: Donald Trump protests format for presidential debates The Republican nominee said Monday he would prefer to debate Hillary Clinton without moderators because they and others are likely to “rig” the set-up against him. “The fact is that they’re gaming the system, and I think, maybe, we should have no moderator,” Trump told CNBC. “Let Hillary and I sit there and just debate because I think the system is being rigged so it’s gonna be a very unfair debate, and I can see it happening right now because everyone’s saying that he was soft on Trump.” In complaining about the… Read more »
Patd, never heard of such a thing before. Apparently the reporter who was talking with Mitchell was told that is what she is part of – odd since neither campaign has agreed to one of those things.
Donald drumpf said in response to the upcoming debate’s format, Wahhh, waaahhh, waaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!”
“The Republican nominee said Monday he would prefer to debate Hillary Clinton without moderators because ” … he can’t answer a question and can’t bully Clinton if he has to respond to a moderator.
she must have the bacterial sort or otherwise the doc (unless she’s the quacking kind) wouldn’t put her on anit-bi’s… they would just make the viral kind go even more viral.
btw, didn’t putin do in someone (or 2 or maybe hundred more) by lacing their teacup with nasties? not saying they’ve contaminated the campaign or anything with hacking cough germs, just hacked its computers.

Congratulations to Keith Olbermann for his new bi-weekly gq.com show, The Closer with Keith Olbermann, debuting 8am tomorrow. Finally …. intelligence + integrity + razor sharp Commentary brought back to political talk. Much needed; much missed.
Jonathan Capehart
I completely agree,
come the revolution there are gonna be some members of the press wondering why they are standing against the wall.
Jack
So how long before Olbermann starts the whine and pisses off another boss?
Wanna start a pot?
Jack
I mostly like Olbermann. He must have made a proposal that interested GQ. Good.
Some of us appreciate excellence & are grateful when those with true artistry share it, whskyjack 😉 You want to “start a pot” for whatever reason …. then donate any $ raised to your local animal rescue shelter or free health clinic. I seem to remember a certain Commentator used his own show to publicize a worthy cause called “Tents for Haiti” which had ties to a blog called Trail Mix. I never forget who are the good guys & who are the not so good. Mr. Olbermann is a good guy. We are lucky he uses his amazing gifts to benefit society. Good Luck to him. I wish him well.
trump food labeling policy will allow use of horse and dog meat in your burgers.
WhskyJack is also a Past Master at promoting good causes. Olbermann could cover Jack’s neighborhood/city improvement tactics. It would be a good thing for other Americans to learn. Fight the boredom : organize improvement in the face of stupid politicians.
BW – Fortran IV was the best course I ever took and a great language to professionally use. For me it is one of those good things which makes all other languages easy. It’s all 1’s and 0’s. COBOL was okay, but I never used it professionally. The best thing is Fortran is still in use.
What will Hillary do to bounce off the bloated garbage of the bloater? I think they made a start by releasing a lot of medical info. Although it makes the floater look bad, he does not care. Reach the voters is all that can be done. The orange bloater is vulnerable, we just need to get out the voters.
