[Hurdergaryp]

So apparently Hillary's health is terrible.

What happens if her health falls to such a depth that she can't run anymore? Does her running mate automatically take over? Or does the democratic vote go bye bye?

So that's the new tactic of Trump's henchmen, now that the 'Hillary is the Devil' approach didn't have the effect it was supposed to have?

I think the IRS should look into it regardless. Really shouldn't be contingent on partisan preference.

the irs should look into it in general. there are hundreds of churches in this country violating that rule. I don't think it would be fair to focus on one demographic over another.

That's what I said...

She slipped and they caught her fall.

This was back in February. go back to Drudge, Matt.

And the reason that code exists for churches is due to the first amendment. To allow a church to support a specific candidate while allowing them tax exempt status would be the government supporting a religion.

Probably not, no, unless they made only certain religions tax exempt. If it was all religions, there's no argument to be made that the government is supporting a particular religion.

I believe that the first amendment also includes supporting religion over non-religion.

>accidentally slips and falls
>no longer qualified to be president
What?

You must give a source for this.

Her DNC rigging? She may have not rigged it herself, but DWS did.

"Clinton has been shown to rig elections before"
"What elections?"
"The one that wasn't an election, wasn't Clinton, and was only once"

[Ashmoria]

No untoward changing of outcomes occurred, so calling that a rigged election is simply wrong.

She tried to atheist-shame Bernie to lower his chances in Kentucky and WV. This election was decided from Day 1. Her leaked emails showed cooperation between DWS and key members of the media and DNC staff in order to favor Hillary. They had editors come in and edit Reuters articles. I'd call that a rigged election.

oh I missed the actual atheist shaming. do you have a link to some DNC operative doing that?

Except the government has the interpretation (generally) that serious moral conviction absent a deity is still "religion" for first amendment purposes.

Hell - atheism can be a religion for legal purposes.

Not that it matters at all since the DNC is still not Clinton, nor does it doing something like that mean it is something Clinton supported.

In which case atheist "churches" should get the same type of tax exempt status. So then the question becomes, what is a church?

if it is possible they would pick another candidate to run. probably joe biden.

Atheist churches can get the same exemption.

hes going with the rubber/glue defense where he accuses Clinton of everything they are dissing him over in hopes that the media will feel the need to cover it as if it were true.

for true but I didn't even see a followup email after the one suggesting it much less some action based on it.

So Donald Trump may or may not have early onset dementia, and Hillary Clinton has a handler carrying seizure medication for her and has a tendency to fall. Is... Is Johnson at least healthy?

[Saiwania]

Back in January, Bob Dole warned of "cataclysmic losses" if Ted Cruz were the nominee. Saying that Donald Trump would fare better, so much for that. Why did the Republican party have to take advice from one of our loser candidates?

who cares, he would be a terrible president.

he was probably right about ted cruz.

god willing we will never find out for sure.

Saiwania, I've gotta say it, you are the LAST person I thought would support Hillary.

That's not what I asked, and it was not at all what I was even wanting to discuss. Ass.

[Saiwania]

It is literally only because she is qualified and knows what she is doing while Trump simply isn't and is in way over his head. There will be no joy for me when Clinton inevitably wins. This is more or less a coronation year.

And FDR had polio and could barely walk, spending lots of time in a wheelchair. Epilepsy and occasionally losing your balance, which is common among older people, are both easily managed and not concerning, if she does in fact suffer from those.

AFAIK, he's in good health. He climbs mountains and stuff. He likes marijuana, but says he wouldn't get stoned while in office, so it's up to you how much you care about that and if you take his word about quitting.

TBH, the stuff about the seizure medication is a bit conspiracy theory-ish. I haven't seen it corroborated by a source I trust.

Nor do I see what is wrong with seizure medication, but then a friend of mine had grand-mal seizures due to his epilepsy.

This is the first I've heard of Clinton having epilepsy.

According to Snopes, the claim is false. http://www.snopes.com/hillary-clinton-seizure-video/
