According to White House visitor logs reviewed by the New York Post, Dr Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson’s disease expert at Walter Reed medical center, met with Dr Kevin O’Connor, a doctor of osteopathic medicine who has treated the president for years.

The visit took place at the White House residence clinic on 17 January. Cannard has visited the White House house eight times since August 2023. On seven of those visits, most recently in late March, he met with Megan Nasworthy, a liaison between Walter Reed and the White House.

I just did a search for Parkinson's at Bluesky. There are extra-large serves of hedging and copium.

EVEN if this diagnosis is correct, which is a huge IF, the ableism shows in the pants-wetting tone. Anyone who has seen a friend or family member with Parkinson's knows that cognitive decline almost never presents for decades, well after the physical symptoms leave the patient almost incapable.

Well at least Parkinson's can be treated, unlike fronto-temporal dementia which is the standard armchair diagnosis for TFG.

i think it’s highly unlikely Biden has Parkinson’s but if he did, it would be disgusting to refuse to vote for him on that basis

---

If you have actual evidence that Biden has Parkinson's like e.g., lab results, put up, if you only have speculation however degreed, shut up. This is actually really easy.

They blocked the person so the original post can't be seen.

---

This is because he just signed a Parkinson's bill isn't it.

---

FFS even if he DOES have Parkinson’s that doesn’t in and of itself make him unfit for office.

Kremlimology about whether the President secretly has Parkinson's. Why don't you fucks just watch the West Wing and leave the politics to the grown ups?

Fuck these deeply unserious libs, any amount of criticism results in the worst :smuglord: statements.

lmao that last one has to be a bit.

also, apparently not supporting someone who sucks is ableism because not sucking is an ability.
