Arnold is a bit odd. He’s a Republican, but he also seems to hold a lot of traditionally democrat beliefs. He was (at least originally, idk about now) against gay marriage, but was against a border wall, was shockingly pro-environment (at least compared to republicans in general), proposed universal health insurance in CA, and was pretty outspoken against trump.
Kind of hard to nail him down honestly, but Democrats would probably say he’s a moderate/centrist Republican, and Republicans would probably say he’s a democrat given he didn’t fall in line with trump and was pro-climate.

There's a video of Rush relatively early in his career giving some interview on stage where he straight up admits he lies and making shit up to get you on his side is part of his job.

He willingly associates with the Republican Party.
He’s a pile of shit.

Thanks! I actually have a degree in Cognitive and Brain Sciences, and I’m embarrassed to admit I know very very little about Parkinson’s disease. A lot of my studies were focused on cognition and memory as opposed to neurodegenerative disease.

I met him at wizard world Philly in 2016 and he was totally different then to now.

I saw this on Twitter earlier and I can't believe there are people who don't know he has Parkinson's. Someone actually tweeted "Is there something wrong with Michael?" and then a few other people replied that they didn't know either.

Wait so the actual movements made by people with Parkinson’s are the result of the medication itself?
That’s interesting. Happy to learn this.

Isn't Arnold Schwarzeneggar a Republican? I was too young to understand much when he was the Governator here in California but even if we disagree on some policy items, the guy really seems like a solid dude.

Everybody understands that. No need to repeat it over and over. It almost comes across disrespectful to him (I know that’s not your intention).
The man is more than his disease. Let’s talk about the man.

I was absolutely delighted hearing that Rash had died. He was such a colostomy bag.

I think you’re being downvoted because THC doesn’t stop Parkinson’s. It helps alleviate the tremors that are actually a side effect from the medication for Parkinson’s; not the disease itself. There are plenty reasons why one wouldn’t want to use THC before a public appearance on stage in front of fans.

1991 was when he was diagnosed. That’s a year after I was born.
He’s had a good run and kept it at bay pretty well but damn, I can’t imagine living with something like that hanging over my head for 30+ years… The man’s a champ.

In actuality it was more likely that his medication caused the movement seen during the interview. Parkinson’s actually causes rigidity as opposed to the dramatic involuntary movements that people sometimes associated with the condition. The medication improves movement but also causes excess movement as well as tardive dyskinesia which are involuntary movements and tics. It’s all degrees of risk vs. reward when deciding if a medication is worth taking. The whole controversy was based on a misunderstanding of the disease and the effects of the medications.

Not sure that is on topic for a Comic Con clip of two famous actors, but yes fuck George Bush for that. He set back research at least a decade.

Got me, but if you have to go back to the first Republican president, I'm not sure what that says about the current state of the Republican party.
To keep things on topic, George W. Bush twice vetoed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act that MJF supported and that might have helped create new treatments for Parkinson's and other diseases.

The joke when he removes the facial is he looks no different.
