from the CRAZY-idea,-BADLY-done-by-WEAK-people.-So-Sad. dept.

From Electoral-Vote.com:

A theory has been circulating that the Donald Trump tweets that come from an Android device are from the candidate himself, while the ones that come from an iPhone are the work of his staff. David Robinson, a data scientist who works for Stack Overflow, decided to test the theory. His conclusion: It's absolutely correct.

Robinson did some text-mining (using R) to analyze roughly 1,400 tweets from Trump's timeline, and demonstrated conclusively that the iPhone tweets are substantively different than the Android tweets. The former tend to come later at night, and are vastly more likely to incorporate hashtags, images, and links. The latter tend to come in the morning, and are much more likely to be copied and pasted from other people's tweets. In terms of word choice, the iPhone tweets tend to be more neutral, with their three most-used phrases being "join," "#trump2016," and "#makeamericagreatagain." The Android tweets tend to be more emotionally charged, with their three most-used phrases being "badly," "crazy," and "weak."

    With her health problems and on camera seizures and being chased around by a secret service Nurse Ratchet with a hypo like a weird episode of Star Trek in the sick bay and her inability to walk up stairs unaided,

    In your reality is all of that actually true? Because, if so, you are basically waiving the crazy flag when you write something like that. Who is even going to bother reading past that? Is it just some sort of tribal signaling?

    Sadly VLM's narrative has been spread for the last week to 10 days on several neo-conservative sites and on at least one national cable news network. HRC's health can never live up to the letter Trump's "doctor" wrote [nytimes.com] about his extraordinary health.

      The "Hillary is pretty sick" meme has been going around for at least 6 months now.

        Have you watched her facial expressions lately? I'd say she's either on medication or stressed out the way her eyes bulge out.

          Oh come one now. If you could be bothered to visit her website you'd see she's been practicing her "Marty Feldman" impressions for her first Whitehouse Correspondents Dinner.

        True, but it got some heavy discussion on FOX News every night last week. They even showed a video without sound claiming she was having a seizure and everyone around her was laughing at her, but when played with sound (and shown from an accompanying angle) she was actually laughing (albeit a laugh that would scare an evil clown) and everyone was laughing with her. Faux and balanced.

      Probably the same doctor who declared that young Donnie was unfit to serve in Viet Nam because of loose bone chips in his foot. Which mysteriously went away after the war ended a few years later.

      When you're rich, you can find such doctors.

      Like Caesar? [history.com]
      Or King George VI of England? [wikipedia.org]

      Let's say, JFK [go.com]?

      The medical records reveal that Kennedy variously took codeine, Demerol and methadone for pain; Ritalin, a stimulant; meprobamate and librium for anxiety; barbiturates for sleep; thyroid hormone; and injections of a blood derivative, gamma globulin, a medicine that combats infections.

      OK, I've looked at your link, and the idea that this is evidence of illness is laughable. Clearly she was distracted mid-speech by some sort of emerging situation in the crowd that the camera can't see. Apparently it was a protester, but she wouldn't have known that right away, from her face and attentive stare I suspect she's wondering if this is the arrival of the bullet that Trump wished upon her last week[*] That's why her security people are all looking so suddenly busy, and one of them has to reassure her that this is not a threat before she continues with her speech.

      As for the "seizure", the fact that they've had to reverse and loop the gif to make her head wobble around so much tells me all I need to know. You sir, are either an idiot or a shill.

      [*]Before anyone tries to downplay Trump's incitement to violence, let's not forget the consequences of the last US reality show star turned politician who tried to impress the NRA voters by making casual references to political assassination: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/rep-gabrielle-giffords-blood-sarah-palin-hands-putting-cross-hair-district-article-1.149099 [nydailynews.com]
