Rudy Giuliani Tests Positive For Slew Of Obscure Bat Diseases Unrelated To Covid-19



Yeah, it's the Onion

They might be riffing from Bill Maher's practice of using a photo of Nosferatu when he has a story or reference Giuliani. Have to admit there is some resemblance :-)

New Video Update from the President On His Condition.

He looks fine, he’ll definitely recover.

Yeah he seems fine. He’ll be out there telling white nationalists to “stand by” in no time.

[InformationGeek]

Meanwhile, in people we probably forgot about in all of the craziness, more BS with Aaron Coleman, who threatened a school shooting a few years ago.

Man, you could do a full profile on this fool alone for Democrat of the Day, WBE.

That doesn't look like the hospital?

The Reed center has an executive suite with desk and everything.

That video’s timing is suspicious though. When was that recorded. A little after he was admitted?

a lot of things don’t match up. I hate to get into conspiracy theory land but apparently he’s wearing the same clothes that he wore before he left the White House.

Man, I know it's too much to hope he'd really be out through the rest of the election, but we could at least have a week or two's break without him.

About that...

Let's say that some of what folks are saying was happening "Behind The Scenes..." scenario from yesterday is anything even remotely like what actually happened.

You can't see a realistic version of events where someone tells you "First, your number might be up. Second, you can go walking now or on wheels later.", and you don't even mess with packing a change of clothes?

Possibly if that someone didn't have an entire staff of people to pack and carry clothes for him.

Or just another suit just like it brought later. It’s not like it’s far away.

A grandson of the tenth President John Tyler (who served from 1841-1845) just passed away.

TYLER, Lyon Gardiner, Jr., age 95, of Franklin, Tenn., died September 26, 2020. His beloved wife of 43 years, Lucy Jane Pope Tyler, preceded him in death. He is survived by his daughter, Susan Selina Pope Tyler; his brother, Harrison Ruffin Tyler of Richmond, Va.; his niece, Julia Gardiner Tyler Samaniego of Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.; his nephew, Harrison Ruffin Tyler Jr. and wife, Cathy, of Alexandria; and his nephew, William Bouknight Tyler and wife, Kay, of Richmond; as well as eight great-nieces and nephews. Lyon was born in Richmond, Va., to Lyon Gardiner Tyler Sr. and Susan Ruffin Tyler on January 3, 1925, and lived his youth in Charles City County, Va., and grandson of 10th U.S. President John Tyler. He graduated from St. Christopher's School ('41) and entered The College of William and Mary at age 16, where he was President of the Student Body, a member of the Kappa Alpha Order and graduated in 1947. His formal education was interrupted in 1942 due to World War II, where he served as a Naval officer in the Pacific. After the war, he served in the Naval Intelligence Reserve and retired with the rank of Commander. He earned a law degree from the University of Virginia ('49), served as a law clerk to a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals, practiced Virginia law and was elected Commonwealth's Attorney for Charles City County. In 1960, he became the Assistant Director of the Virginia Civil War Centennial Commission, hoping to unite the country rather than further divide it, which led him to earn his doctorate in history from Duke University. He embarked on a teaching career at Virginia Military Institute, where he re-designed the VMI Museum, followed by The Citadel for over 20 years, establishing a Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship for cadets. In 2000, he and his family moved to his wife's family farm in Franklin, Tenn., where he was an active member in many organizations including St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church. Funeral services and interment will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 3, 2020, at Westover Episcopal Church in Charles City, Va. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, October 13, 2020, at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, Franklin, Tenn. Both services will be live streamed and recorded via the respective church's websites. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Christ for All Nations, P.O. Box 590588, Orlando, Fla. 32859-0588 or cfan.org/donate.

I’ve seen that video, he’s looked better than this, and god knows that’s a low bar to begin with.

Without his orange spray paint, he looks pale and ill.

Again, it ain't exactly a "Stretch Armstrong..." stretch to come up with a perfectly reasonable scenario where his "Staff..." is going to be busy looking out for themselves.

Without his orange spray paint, he looks pale and ill.

He doesn't "Look..." pale. The dude is pale.
