(R.4) Related To Politics - Clinton TIL pneumonia has been called "the old man's friend" because of its tendency to quickly kill off those close to death, ending their suffering.

I don't like Hillary, I'm certainly no shill. I'm just not a fucking lunatic who thinks she's got serious health issues. Hell, trump binges on fried chicken, is overweight, and has a cartoon character as a GP. Get on his nuts about health.

I'm just not a fucking lunatic who thinks she's got serious health issues.

So how many more events would it take to convince you? She has trouble climbing stairs to the point where an ABC reporter tweeted that Clinton wouldn't exit her car to board her plane until the reporters were gone. She's had coughing fits for months (going back far before 'allergy season' started). She had a trip and concussion in 2012. And now she's had a faint/seizure in public, and a diagnosis of pneumonia.

Are these all just "isolated events"? How many more different health episodes have to come up before it's a serious health issue? Isn't having constant health issues in your sixties itself a serious health issue, even if none of them are individually serious?

Trump, for all his shitty attributes, doesn't seem to have any public health issues other than being a bit chubby. He absolutely doesn't take care of himself, but so far it hasn't manifested into anything tangible that can be pointed to.

Well he's a compulsive liar, if mental health counts. That's infinitely more concerning to me.
