Summary
Former President Bill Clinton, 78, was hospitalized at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington for testing and observation after developing a fever.
Aides described the situation as non-urgent, with Clinton alert, in good spirits, and expected to recover fully.
Clinton has a history of health issues, including a quadruple bypass in 2004, a 2010 heart procedure, and a 2021 hospitalization for a urological infection.
This mf aint dead yet?
Fuck Bill Clinton. He is the worst Democrat president in my life.
He and Janet Reno set personal freedom back more than any other president and paved the way for the Patriot Act
I always say “Obama was the best Republican president of my life.” It really triggers some folks.
Must be nice. My wife had a fucking TIA at 40, and they left her in the ER for like 8 hours un monitored, and still wouldn’t admit her
I had a heart attack in 2021
I sat in the waiting room so long I had actually called for a ride to leave and then someone decided to look at my blood test
Troponin level was 280 for any medical people (should be under 7)
Rich, important old man gets the sniffles so the personal medical team go into a panic doesn’t really feel like a story to me.
Yeah wtf. How did this get hundred upvotes lmao.
100 people upvoting where he was because they realize that at his age the most likely outcome of a hospital visit is leaving in a box built for one.
Is it the same fever that he had when he was flying on Epstein’s jet? Sorry, we must call out all of them, not just the orange genius.
Even if it turns out he truly had no fucking idea about the slaves and was completely oblivious to the illegal pornography framed on the monster’s walls, he still did a bunch of fucked up shit
The first thing that comes to mind for most people is Monica Lewinsky. If the most powerful man in the world asks you to do something you are not comfortable with, can you truly say no?
Even if you’re not American, if Biden asks me to bleach my asshole and send him a photo, I’d do it, because I don’t want the CIA to kill my dogs with mystery gas or somehow Pegasus my 20 year old microwave.
I cant believe people still think the POTUS is the most powerful person in the world. They don’t even take a shit without getting permission from the wall street military and prison industry profiteers that own all our representatives and social institutions.
Hey, it’s me, Joe Biden. Are you ready to send me your bleached asshole pics? I need them asap.
We all know that when you start a message with “hey, It’s me (politicians name)” that you are actually a PAC. I’ve only had those sorts of messages sent to me about getting cash donations not asshole photo donations though.

If I recall correctly, she’s said essentially that herself.
She’s quite the wit, incidentally.
Edit: Had to share this one too…
Oof, if he’s at “hospital for uti” age he’s not got long.
Big difference between some old dude and a former president. They get unparalleled healthcare.
If anyone saw him his last appearance on the late show (Colbert), he seemed very slow and confused, frail.
Was half expecting him to keel over on set.
I saw that interview, and he definitely seemed to be struggling. He kept going in and out of this sort of thousand-yard stare, like he wasn’t fully aware of where he was. When Stephen asked him if he remembered some event they did together, he initially looked like he had no clue what was going on, but then he started immediately recalling a bunch of details about it, so it’s hard to really get a feel for what’s up with him.
Here’s the fun part. Clinton is 78. He’s been out of office for 24 years. Can you imagine him running and winning today?
WHY THE FUCK ARE 78 YEAR OLD MEN WINNING THE WHITE HOUSE?
Because that generation WILL NOT send the elevator back down.
They don’t know how, they last stepped in one when elevators had attendants.
100%
TL:DR on Clinton being a piece of shit.
I get he’s a rich asshole, we got anything beyond that? I always thought his presidency was rather tame but I wasn’t really paying attention to politics at the time.
how fucking old are you, gh-
Old enough to see the 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle film in theaters.
Oh boy. He’s actually a president I hate almost as much as Reagan!
The Clinton legacy was the complete dismantle of the federal government and privatization of core government functions. He’s why we have private prisons and partial privatization of Medicare.
He was a conservative Democrats when those were still a thing. Gore was the political opposite of what Clinton stood for.
Clinton balanced the budget by ransacking social programs and aging a bunch of means testing to make qualifications what they are today. He’s why public housing disappeared.
The only thing Clinton did that I like is cutting back on defense spending. He was otherwise a terrible president that unified conservative ideals of both the conservative Dems and Republicans at the time.
The only reason he didn’t do more damage is the response of the Republicans at the time ended up being newt gingrich who drove the party further to the right and made it a party motto to obstruct everything that a Democrat wants to do.
Clinton move the Democrats right which caused Republicans to run farther right. The conservative Democrats that came in with Clinton still linger today with all the shitty notions of what government should look like. That’s why Kamala ran the dumbass campaign that she did. DC is infected with the notion that Democrats need to be Republican lite. All this comes from DC morons wanting desperately to recreate the Clinton presidency.
Also, the 1996 telecom act and privatizing of the internet backbone both played a huge part in creating this awful world where a handful of ISPs and tech/media conglomerates control everything
Also, he made a big deal about taking time off the campaign trail in 1992 to go back to the state where he was governor to personally oversee the execution of a mentally disabled black man named Ricky Ray Rector because he was all “I’m not like those other Democrats, I’m tough on crime!”
e; believe it or not this is the better written 2nd draft
But but but he played the sax on TV!! He’s so cool and so relatable
He put so many black and brown people in prison with his racist crime bills.
Well, half of that would surely make anyone at least a jerk, at base level. All of it? That’s surely enough for top asshole status.
Alright. Fuck Clinton. New headcanon.
Is Carter gonna outlive Clinton? Wild.
There’s still time for Carter’s second term!
I was in bed for three days after developing a fever. I wrote the fever code in JavaScript, no less.
Where’s the news article about my ordeal?
I take it that’s a play on “developing”, but I thought you meant you were writing code in a fever, and I wanted to see that code.
I actually tried one time, but after trying to r even read 2 lines i quickly gave up.
He’s got the bird flue! Lol
That’s cool. Good for him. Hope it sucks.
Hopefully he dies
