Are you saying it is odd to do yearly physical in multiple stages and also only 9 months after your previous one? Or that normally Walter Reed is given warning that the president is coming or that normally physicals are announced to the press ahead of time? Or that it is weird that he has not appeared in front of the press since then? Or it is odd to do it in stages and spend a couple hours at Walter Reed.

We can all agree that it is silly that the health of an elderly man, under stress, that refuses to exercise, and eats terribly, could be in anything but excellent health.

Just phase 1 of annual check. too cold to play golf. Would have done it in the residence but....
Wilson, FDR, Kennedy, all were not transparent as to their health status. He can not claim to be the first president to be not forthcoming.

I know they jumped the shark a long time ago, but the headline writes for CNN have reached a new low with this one. They are really trying to show this as a huge upset that was Trump's fault. The reality is that the state re-elected an incumbent governor.

Agree. Dems have given up quite a bit of ground there since the 2015 election when they won handily (56/44). Turnout was 10% higher. Not sure that's a positive sign no matter how you look at it.

Trump going to Walter Reed unannounced is concerning, but time will tell.

It is still a big deal that Democrat won the Governorship in a state trump won by 20 points in 2016. If trump could really energize voters, he should have been able to push the Republican over the line.

In addition, it was move evidence of how quickly southern suburbs are shifting Democrat. It really is surprising how quick that shift is happening. Rural Northern voters shitted Republican to look almost identical to rural Southerners. That shift happened a bit ahead of the shift of the suburbs and metro areas of the South moving to the Democrats. Of the ten states with the highest percentage of their population living in cities or suburbs only 2 are not reliably Democrat. One of them is #6 on that list, Texas. The other is Arizona I believe. Arizona is already a swing state and Texas is fast becoming one.

I must have missed this from the tin foil hat brigade. We need not worry about his hospital visit because he was assassinated earlier this year.

So trump is dead, but they are worried that when the news get out, that is when our ideals would be under attack? That is when our ideals are under attack? Not because the person signing bills is not who was elected, but an actor selected by a cabal? There is no current problem, even though the constitution in not being followed?

This is really an example of trump supporters taken to the extreme, they don't care if this administration follows the constitution and the only part of the Constitution they care about is half of one amendment.

Did he catch the windmill cancer?

We know that his thumbs are in world class form, though.

mooooommmmmm my stomach hurts. I don't think I can *wince* go to school today.

A big lie got stuck in his throat. And take Republicans for spinal implants.

Pretty normal for the WH physician to release a statement on POTUS' health at 8 pm on a Monday evening, right?

My assumption at this point is that every specific statement is a lie- it was not regular, preventative or planned. The denial of chest pains only increases the likelihood of that being the reason for the visit.

Suffer Well.

All I know is that he better have paid out of pocket for that annual since it was within 12 months of his last one. I couldn't get my physical until mid November now because last year it was in late-October.

And I didn't decide to go bc I had nothing better to do on a Sat afternoon but instead bc it was scheduled for months. And the Dr's office knew I was coming and it was on my office calendar.

The Dx was Z59.2 from what I heard (that's an ICD10 code)

Apparently someone caught a picture of him on their phone as he was heading in.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

I concur.

Of course. Billing is the only purpose of ICD10. Otherwise I would have given you SNOMED_CT codes.
Don’t worry, we are already paying for this crap anyway.

I get the sarcasm... but this is clearly the wrong question.

Is there anyone on the planet that actually believes that his trip to the Dr was routine and/or planned?

I'm sure the cool-aid drinkers do. I'm feeling I'm a little closer to there being be a chance that my prediction will come true that this would end with some sort of medical event removing him from office.

Walter Reed standing by for phase two of the physical.

Suffer Well.

Walter Reed standing by for phase two of the physical … that is scheduled for next year.

And is anyone surprised that he decided to blatantly lie about this too?

On a related note, my lying thief of a brother claimed the deposition he gave the bar's disciplinary counsel was fine. Of course the counts they added to his complaint from the transcript tell a much different story. I feel so blessed to be able to see Trump play out close up in my life. I expected him to tell me it was perfect, I could sense it was on the tip of his tongue, but that opportunity passed him by.

---

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

So it was apparently planned, but the Communicator-in-Chief neglected to tell his wife (and apparently the WH communications dept?), who was panicked by media reports that he'd been rushed to hospital for a heart attack. That makes perfect sense.

https://www.politico.com/...ospital-visit-071567

Makes some sense to me, do you think Melania actually talks to him? Now, I do not think "panicked' was the emotion to describe Melania when she read the reports.

Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between laughing and crying.

---

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

yeah, i'm guessing this is the odds on favorite at this point. Admin catches wind of Sondland's testimony and this is what they came up with. Trump thinks it is a perfect idea as in his mind it will allow him to save face by tweeting "I resigned due to a medial issue" for the rest of his life.

"Melania told me that doing a dance and shouting "Thank god!" is the way that Slovaks grieve."

6 months later and he has not done the 2nd part of his physical.

Nothing strange about that at all.

Me thinks the hospital might have to sneak in the back of the WH for that second half. Imagine the kerfluffle were he to motorcade up Wisconsin ave for a visit now.

My guess is that he needs a colonoscopy and he is too prideful to go through the prep.

You are assuming that what happened 6 months ago was the first half. I don't think that should be assumed based on the evidence.

He has already flown out multiple times in the past couple weeks, so he can leave the White House.

Had not thought of the validity of the first half. So yeah I guess it could be wrongfully assumed that way. Only saying the boy's health right now is under intense scrutiny most of which of his own making. More curious as to why you resurfaced this thread. Is he actually to go tomorrow?

Can you imagine how long it would take to empty him of shit?

---

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

I assume they have shelved it due to the sewer system around Walter Reed being inadequate to handle the predicted deluge.

It was the 6 month anniversary of that "first half of his yearly physical" with some updates in the article.

I'd like to see some follow up on his physical health.

---

Suffer Well.

Yesterday he struggled to drink a glass of water and looked like a 90 year old man walking down a ramp.

---

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

He has very bad rheumatoid arthritis in many joints, why he stands funny, can't move his neck, lead with his left leg as he walked down the ramp (For those without knee issues it may have looked funny but if you watch he is simply always leading with his left leg, then brings right up along side and steps with left again, a familiar walk on ramps for those with knee issues)

This also explains why he is taking hydroxychlorioquine.

Be kind English is my 2nd language. My primary language is Dave it's a unique evolution of English.

Weird, I thought he stood funny because of the lifts in his shoes.

He is much shorter than he claims. You know because he has to lie about everything.

---

Suffer Well.

The ramp thing I get. Obviously I don’t understand his need to tell people he ran down the second half of the ramp. If you don’t feel comfortable walking down a ramp, take your time.

The glass of water thing I don’t get. I don’t think I have ever stopped half way up while drinking and then needed to put my bottom hand as a guide.

I agree. I've been reading on Fox and OAN I need to be concerned about Biden's mental health and physical health so I'd like to be reassured I'm voting for someone that's going to live another 4 years.

You will when you are old and are having trouble controlling your limbs.

He’s old. And frail. As much as he tries to seem strong his body is giving us strong hints that he really isn’t in great health.

---

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

It was odd, though. He uses his hands a lot while speaking, and those movements seem very controlled. He holds a book up no problem. And walked a "long" distance across that road with apparent ease. He plays golf.

So sometimes he doesn't seem old and frail. Yet has these odd things happen.

I won't speculate why. It's just odd.

a guess --

his meds are being adjusted (by himself or a physician, dosage up or down, sleeping pills, focus pills, whatever is prescribed).

Many of our elders experience this, without the spotlight. A close relative of mine had the shakes so bad she could barely hold a toothbrush, until she detoxed off the Halcyon that had been prescribed for years, and she kept dosing up due to tolerance.

it could be anything -- or this

I am not going to speculate as to what the issue is but the water incident and the ramp were not the actions of someone in perfect health.

“You are experiencing the criminal coverup of a foreign backed fascist hostile takeover of a mafia shakedown of an authoritarian religious slow motion coup. Persuade people to vote for Democracy.”

Even more curious when the doctors were required to sign NDA.

Dude, it was just a routine emergency physical. Happens all the time.

What is so difficult to understand?

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

One of the founders and driving forces behind the brilliant The Lincoln Project tweeted the reason for the visit/NDAs is "It rhymes with Paul Schemis."

Most of the replies are either people not figuring it our or pictures of mushrooms and/or Stormy Daniels references

Even after several hours, I am firmly in the I can't figure it out... other than possibly "small penis" but then why the surprise visit and NDAs?

Look. Trump is the most transparent president in the history of the presidency. He even signs his own doctors notes now. What more can you ask for.

So he didn't feel like them losing their careers over HIPPA violations was enough deterrent so he presumably threatened financial ruin too? What a guy! I honestly would have loved for everyone there to refuse to sign it while stating HIPPA was more than enough for them.

Looked for the tweet but didn’t see it. Anyone solve it yet?
