Deathrace 1,166 Posted June 14, 2017 Always find Geoffrey Dodsworth quite ironic as he stood down to force a by-election due to ill health in 1979 which is something MPs usually only do when they are on their very last legs and 38 years later he's still batting at the age of 89 having outlived most of his contemporaries. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like he's taken a turn for the worse, he was said to be on the road to a full recovery according to Trump a few hours ago. Hope he pulls through. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After hearing that Scalise was hit in the ass, Trump said 'that could be fatal, seeing as Scalise is 100% ass'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,964 Posted June 14, 2017 Just now, Sir Creep said: Is that DOCTOR Trump making that medical determination? After hearing that Scalise was hit in the ass, Trump said 'that could be fatal, seeing as Scalise is 100% ass'. Maybe it was Trump's doctor, who probably said that Scalise is the healthiest shooting victim ever. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,964 Posted June 14, 2017 Apparently, Scalise's office said that he was in good condition, while the hospital tweeted that he "remains" in critical condition, i.e. was critical before. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/update-steve-scalise-condition So his office is still playing political games by downplaying gun violence.

Here are pictures of Trump after visiting Scalise, I think he knows it's worse then he's letting on- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted June 15, 2017 As much of a liberal as I am, I do hope Steve Scalise makes a full recovery. No one deserves to get shot down like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zsa Zsa's leg 884 Posted June 15, 2017 Trump did another press conference and said "We think he'll recover (insert long pause) we hope..." Very grim. June 16th. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilyForrester 81 Posted June 15, 2017 4 minutes ago, Zsa Zsa's leg said: Trump did another press conference and said "We think he'll recover (insert long pause) we hope..." Very grim. June 16th. Going to have to agree with June 16th, it's looking really bad now and you can notice a shift in the media reporting. Trump originally said he would recover but is now tempering expectations by saying 'we hope'. If he miraculously pulls through, he'll never be the same again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He may be wheelchair bound due to the bullet hitting his waist, but he won't be entirely incapacitated like Gabby Giffords. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JiroemonKimura 95 Posted June 17, 2017 He is said to be improving in the last 36 hours but still critical. I personally would give him >50% chance of surviving, but if we are doing sweepstakes I go with June 19. On another note, Vanuatu president dead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
