Top Parkinsons specialist visited White House in January, per official White House logs

Murdoch NY Post links give clickdollars and SEO to people who hate gays.

Jesus Christ R1 how autistic are you? Are you allowed to drive or own firearms?

Please explain to me how a it’s a “scoop” but also information freely available in the public record. Perhaps other media outlets decided that seeing a doctor who has a speciality doesn’t mean you actually have that disorder.

I see a urologist periodically to screen for prostate cancer but I have never had prostate cancer and no one would consider that screening as a suggestion that it’s likely I actually have cancer.

NY Post quoting Ronny “Pills-for-all” Pussy-grabber Jackson there. Ok.

The Post?

Hahahaha!

OP is a fool.

You believe something you saw in the New York POST?!?

Per WIKI:

The Post has been criticized since the beginning of Murdoch's ownership for sensationalism, blatant advocacy, and conservative bias. In 1980, the Columbia Journalism Review stated that the "New York Post is no longer merely a journalistic problem. It is a social problem—a force for evil."[58]

The Post has been accused of contorting its news coverage to suit Murdoch's business needs, in particular avoiding subjects which could be unflattering to the government of the People's Republic of China, where Murdoch has invested heavily in satellite television.[59]

In a 2019 article in The New Yorker, Ken Auletta wrote that Murdoch "doesn't hesitate to use the Post to belittle his business opponents", and went on to say that Murdoch's support for Edward I. Koch while he was running for mayor of New York "spilled over onto the news pages of the Post, with the paper regularly publishing glowing stories about Koch and sometimes savage accounts of his four primary opponents."[60]

According to The New York Times, Ronald Reagan's campaign team credited Murdoch and the Post for his victory in New York in the 1980 United States presidential election.[61] Reagan later "waived a prohibition against owning a television station and a newspaper in the same market", allowing Murdoch to continue to control the New York Post and The Boston Herald while expanding into television.

Currently the lead contender for stupidest post on the Datalounge for July 2024.

Then why hasn't anyone reported it?

Could they have been suppressing it?

R9. Who is “they?”

Or more likely, it just isn't true or isn't relevant or isn't meaningful, R9?

R11 if the President is being accused of having a neurological disease and hiding it, it would indeed be quite meaningful at this stage, with his party prepared to ask him to resign his Presidency or be removed in disgrace.

[quote]if the President is being accused of having a neurological disease

Goddamn, R12-- "accused?" Really?

Is that what they're calling diagnostics these days, R12?

Sorry, I'm behind on my Frank Luntz reframing updates.

Once the diagnosis is announced all the posters here will pretend they never commented.

It's not a matter of being accused. People around the President have to state that he is incapable of fulfilling his duties. VP becomes acting President. BUT this was put into place to deal with a Pres having a heart attack or a stroke. Something like Parkinson's is a grey area. And you're not removed in disgrace. It's to make sure the US has a working President.

In the past, Presidents have had health issues that incapcitated them. Both Wilson and FDR were extremely sick at the end of their terms. Their family and staff always covered it up. But now it's tougher to hide.

...incapacitated

R9, your argument might have some merit if the Post was the only conservative-bias publication in the country, but since it’s not one wonders why the others haven’t. Maybe because being screened for a disease is not indicative of actually having the disease.

I don't even think they invoked the 25th amendment when Reagan was shot and in surgery.

[quote] And you're not removed in disgrace. It's to make sure the US has a working President.

If Biden had a Parkinsons Disease Dementia diagnosis, covered it up and refused to step down when he could no longer hide the effects, and when his party asked him to, then his removal would be done in disgrace.

I've never heard of anyone being screened for Parkinson unless there is suspicion something's wrong.

Has the Good Doctor Jill commented?

[quote]Maybe because being screened for a disease is not indicative of actually having the disease.

There is no screening for Parkinsons:

R22, the difference between “screening” and “clinical diagnosis” is a technical one and anyone not looking to nitpick knows what I meant.

Regardless, having a clinician comes and consult doesn’t necessarily indicate someone has a disease. Biden might have a family history of it, or the doctor whose specialty is Parkinson’s could have been called in to do a standard neurological examination. Ronnie Jackson, who somehow seems to know all about this while not even being involved, had a specialty in emergency but he certainly wasn’t treating the Presidents he served under for gun shot wounds or traffic accident injuries.

Yep. nothing to see here...

"Parkinson’s expert at Walter Reed medical center has visited White House eight times since August 2023"

LOOK AWAY!!!!!

If it is early stage Parkinsons it's regrettable but he should still be able to do his duties. Michael J Fox has had his for 35 years and counting.

R26 You obviously know nothing about Parkinsons.

Hi gait is slow and I don't recall that in the early time of his presidency.

If you google this doctor's name, you'll see that every conservative rightwing news organization ran the same story in the last 48 hours.

Hmmmmm - It's almost like somebody in GOP's oppo group sent the storyline to them.
