Trump Derangement Syndrome

[Hawkmoon]

It was a joke. Now it seems to be real.

Further proof that the left does not dwell in reality. I'm sure an awful lot of people were very upset when Obama was elected, but ... insomnia? Inability to focus on your work? Need a therapist? I'd say these are people who needed therapy all along, and this is just confirmation.

Irony alert!

Over the summer, William Doherty, a professor at the University of Minnesota and a therapist in St. Paul, published a manifesto online declaring Trump a unique threat to America’s mental health. More than 3,800 therapists signed it.

Doherty wrote that Trump’s campaign was creating widespread alienation and fear among Americans. Trump was normalizing behavior that therapists fight to reverse, including “the tendency to blame others in our lives for our personal fears and insecurities,”

Isn't it you and your anti-Trump patients that are blaming someone else for your fears and insecurities? And aren't you really describing the "triggering," "micro-aggression" nonsense that was born on the college campuses where anti-Trump sentiment is most heavily concentrated? Are you dishonest, or blind, or both?


Also, we've seen this before:

Funny how when the Right is upset with an election, it's because we're racists to be despised. When it happens to the Left, they're victims to be coddled.

Ahhh . . . just give 'em some Play Doh and coloring books - they'll be fine.

I blame Trump.

[Hawkmoon]

I blame Trump.

Too late -- that ship already sailed. Find your own straw man.

[K Frame]

I call it TARDism...

Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder

[Hawkmoon]

Well, here's an example: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article135064074.html

Navy SEAL killed on a mission in Yemen, a week after Trump took office. Father blames Trump. Mission was planned for months ... under Obama ... and scheduled for that chosen date because of the phase of the moon, which happened to come around after Obama left office. So Trump accepted the recommendation of his predecessor and the professional military planners and gave the mission a go-ahead ... and the father of the SEAL who was killed blames Trump.

Disgusting.

Sort of confirms what I have observed and the voices told me about those who practice mental health therapy...they are as nuts as their patients.

Maybe Trump isn't the one causing the stress, after all. Hmmmm...

The only difference between the practitioners and the patients is the white lab coats.

Democrats:  "The Russians hacked the poll."

Latest chapter in the TARD festival is the manufactured outrage of Kelly Conway with her shoeless feet on an Oval Office sofa.

Somehow that's the most horrific act ever perpetrated in the Oval Office, FAR worse than Lyndon Johnson banging one of his secretaries or Clinton getting it on with Monica Lewinsky....

In fact, it's far worse than for former president in repose with his feet on the Resolute desk, which as some have pointed out, is an actual historic artifact AND a gift from the UK.

But, to be 100% fair, any number of presidents, Republican and Democrat both, have been photographed with their feet on the Resolute desk.

They should all be slapped for that.

[Ben]

They should all be slapped for that.

That's where I am. Kelly shouldn't have done that, but neither should anyone else, and as you said, Clinton did MUCH worse. I'm big on having both a dress code and a behavior code not only in the Oval Office, but the entire business section of the White House. I have to give both Bushs credit for having a professional code of conduct for the White House.

One of the low points that I can remember is when Obama let that 40 year old manboy ride his skateboard down the White House halls.

The progressives don't get to jump on Kelly though, unless they also mention Clinton and Obama. Which they are not doing.


Edit: White House halls, not walls. This cutting my coffee in half experiment this week is not working well. 

[K Frame]

Oh yeah, let's not forget the ridicule that Bush II took when he made it very clear that no one was to wear jeans in the Oval office.

I've heard talk that says it was another Trump play where by having Kelly put her unshod feet on the couch the administration was able to get the photos of all the smart and happy Black folks there w/ Trump to go viral ... they never would have gotten any press on the event otherwise ...

I would love to believe that there's someone in the White House that tactically skilled.
