McTurtle - no worry, just took another fall. The thing of it, Saturday ,on D.U., was a video of a Yale M.D., professor

of Emergency Medicine. She matter of factly reviewed the tape of E.M.T.s carting his carcass out of the house and into the ambulance.

" This means this.... or that. This would be standard care for this.... or this.... or this.... . The narration went on for a few minutes until she gets to where they are loading his ass into the vehicle.

Then she points out that THEY ARE NOT IN ANY HURRY TO GET HIM TO HOSPITAL.

So he's just fallen down again. Problem is, the cause of this fall could be different. If this one is a stroke, the faster you get to hospital, the better are the chances for full recovery.

Instead, these guys are in no hurry to reach the hospital.

I don't know if you've ever smelled a dead turtle on a beach while it is decaying..... this story smells just like a decaying turtle, rotting on a beach, in the summer sun.

so's I look so good for Elaine, when I gets home, she's gonna wanna hop right in bed with me.

Of course he looks 15 years younger and that's why.

And yeah... his head is several inches from the pillow. That shows how strong he is. He can sit up without back support. If it was a stroke or heart problem or some shit like you people are claiming, he wouldn't have the strength to do that.... But plastic surgery, you're up and bouncing in a day or so.

So why is he still in hospital? I'll tell ya. He's waiting for the scars to heal and the backend blue stuff to dissipate so's he's ready for his closeup - when Trump awards him the Meddle of Freedom.

Why is there a pillow for his head when he isn’t touching it?

As long as he's not in the Senate chamber, voting, I'm good with whatever is going on with him.

...it would take only two "no" votes from Repug senators to sink a SCOTUS nomination. In early June, it would have required four.

as his handlers imply his robust health and the kooky, if not seditious nature of any discussions otherwise.

Is nuts.

The picture is real and he's alive. The only source that said he wasnt was Laura fucking Loomer, and she thinks Gabriel Giffords is brain dead too.

You're gonna have to try harder than this. The entire Internet is mocking this bad AI job at this point.

But you do you.

Yeah ok.

Every major news agency has confirmed it, and this board has shown that the image it supposedly matches is the actual AI.

Giffords.

I'm weird about names....probably because my name is continually spelled incorrectly (Gina, not Gena, Jeana, Jeanna, Jianna, etc.).

So, no mean intent, just a gentle correction.
