Some doctors are speaking out...
« on: February 17, 2017, 09:21:45 PM »
To The Editors of the New York Times
To the Editor:

Charles M. Blow (column, nytimes.com, Feb. 9) describes Donald Trump’s constant need “to grind the opposition underfoot.” As mental health professionals, we share Mr. Blow’s concern.

Silence from the country’s mental health organizations has been due to a self-imposed dictum about evaluating public figures (the American Psychiatric Association’s 1973 Goldwater Rule). But this silence has resulted in a failure to lend our expertise to worried journalists and members of Congress at this critical time. We fear that too much is at stake to be silent any longer.

Mr. Trump’s speech and actions demonstrate an inability to tolerate views different from his own, leading to rage reactions. His words and behavior suggest a profound inability to empathize. Individuals with these traits distort reality to suit their psychological state, attacking facts and those who convey them (journalists, scientists).

In a powerful leader, these attacks are likely to increase, as his personal myth of greatness appears to be confirmed. We believe that the grave emotional instability indicated by Mr. Trump’s speech and actions makes him incapable of serving safely as president.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Trump still uses Cocaine, that will likely never change. As for the underage girls, I'll repeat slowly what I stated, just so you inbred retards can understand a woman was suing Trump for raping her when she was 13 years old, she had her lawsuit thrown out for the third time, 3 months ago. Still does not change that fact that there was a lawsuit against him for raping a child. Was that too hard for you to understand CCTAU? Should I rewrite it in crayon?

Btw, what I just now posted has absolutely nothing to do with the 36 Doctors and mental health professionals that believe Trump is not mentally fit to being the President that this country needs.

Go back to posting stupid potato memes.  Please. 

This is like an elderly person who took a watery smelly dump in their trousers and isn't self aware enough to realize they're dragging a snail trail of soupy feces behind them.  You feel bad for them and want to tell them just what an awful mess they've made, but you stand there gawking at the poo puddles and just feel awkward. 

Change your pants.

You're just like a rambling hobo on the street corner that blurts out random shit no matter how fucking stupid it is. Try to stay on topic for once and take a goddamn shower, flys are beginning to swarm around you.

The topic here, ladies and gentlemen (I'm not sure if TigersX still has any females here, so the pussy crybabies like Kaos and his ilk will have to do), there are 36 Doctors & Mental Health professionals that wrote a open letter to the NY Times.

That's the topic of discussion.

I won't even comment on how ridiculous this "article" is or how it is somehow newsworthy that 36 people, regardless of their profession, don't like President Trump.  Much less the fact that it was written to the NY Times.  But, two words did come to mind when I read this jewel.  Pot/Kettle

I've made the appropriate corrections.  I didn't do it to be funny because that is exactly where we are in society.

This is pretty much the state of where we are as a country. And you don't have to believe with either side. But if you don't agree with one side, get labeled a racist or a socialist.
