I just came back from a nice 35-minute walk and have time to kill, so I thought it would be a good time to ramble a little. This thought has been circling my brain for a while, but it came to center when I saw a post today related to Don’s puffy ankles and hands, which the WH doctor diagnosed as chronic venous insufficiency. Trump’s mouthpiece, Karoline Leavitt, calls this a common condition for people over the age of 70 and we all know who’s pushing 80. Now, I’m almost as old as that specimen of “excellent health,” but I don’t have that common condition, and quite frankly don’t know of another person who does. So, here’s the post I saw today:
Where she says he’s had JVD for years, I thought it meant ‘jacked-up venereal disease’, but further research led me to ‘jugular vein distention,’ the bulging of veins in your neck. An artifical intelligence overview describes CHF as Congestive Heart Failure. It’s a chronic condition where the heart muscle is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to a buildup of fluid in the lungs and other body tissues. This can cause various symptoms, including shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs and feet. And, EF is not erection failure, but is a measure of how much your heart pumps. A normal EF measurement would be 55 – 70%. Granted, these folks have not examined the patient and are only making comments based on their years of experience and a knowledge that the patient’s diet is largely Big Mac’s and Coca Cola. As a follow up to my ramblings yesterday, my guess is that JD is ordering a few extra Quarter Pounders and Cokes for his boss, in the hope that if EpsteinGate doesn’t get him into that coveted presidency, a heart attack or stroke will.
BREAKING NEWS!! The QAnon Shaman, Jacob Chansley, that dude in the horned furry headdress who stormed the Capital on January 6th, was convicted and sentenced to 41 months in prison and then was released after Trump’s clemency order, has just called Big Boy a “fraud” and a “piece of shit.” Oh my, it appears that even the crazies are starting to figure out who their King really is and the sycophantic followers are beginning the rebellion.
Gotta get going. Ramble at ya later.
