None of you are qualified to make a diagnosis.
It's just your personal opinion backed and bolstered by fake knowledge.

None of you armchair psychiatrists have ever read a single actual textbook on the subject,
yet, you sputter inane shit like a common talk show host.

Pathetic. (probably a disorder.)

The MSM has told them it's the right thing to do...

dissypussy, is it really so inconceivable for you, that people may get their information from a variety of sources and develop the ability to compare and evaluate them? And that some of us just call a chicken a bird, because a chickens happens to be a bird?

Desperate name calling and strawman argument.

You are 100% correct, a chicken is indeed a type of bird.

Very good.

Imagine the Washington Post would claim:

Would that turn chickens into non-birds?

You could actually use a few pointers.

Chickens are classified as birds whether or not the news reports it as true or untrue.

Right.

Now imagine somebody claims something.

And it happens to be a claim also made by the media or at least the vast majority of them.

Do you think that it is justified to automatically assume, that he only claims it, because the media claim it, too?

Because that is what you do. Every time. Post after post.

Isn't it hypocritical to accuse other people of presenting strawman arguments when presenting strawman arguments is all what you do?

After doing a bit of reading I found mental illnesses called a disease, that's right. A disease.

No shit Sherlock. What else did you think it was?

Quote
So I guess call it whatever serves your interests best at the time, if your aim is a coup / civil war, then I suggest playing the mental health card for all it's worth.

The goal is to have a president that can competently perform the functions of his office. Having NPD, dementia, or being a moron interferes with that and puts the country at risk.

Another mediocre strawman.

You are confusing a metaphor with a strawman. For example, these are strawmen:

Memba the TV has told us that discrimination against MI individuals is just fine.

>Everyone I don't like is mentally ill.
>Everyone I don't like is mentally ill.
So just use disgusting blanket terms enforcing the stigma of MI instead?

Notice how you are arguing against something you imagined people said in order to justify being offended, instead of what they actually said.

Who made politics a soap opera Totes?

Was it Trump or was it the MSM devoting 90% of the news to discredit Trump?

I think if we have learned one thing from the last few months, it's that the person we vote for isn't really calling the shots. As False Prophet points out, most people already know this.

The media have there part in turning American politics into a sitcom. But not by "discrediting trump" but by their long-standing habit of avoiding the real issues. If they would have covered the elections in a responsible way, it may bot have come so far.

If they wouldn't have largely ignored Bernie Sanders, he may have had a better chance to win the primaries. But the corporate media hated him from the beginning.

you can not justify the actions of the President with actions of a President that does not exist.

your argument is only to point away from the criminal actions of Trump

Contrary to whatever bullshit your local news agency is reporting,
President Donald Trump has not committed a crime.

I'm guessing in your country the leader is known even before the ballots are printed.
An apathetic population who believes 93% to 7% is a real election.


Quick lesson on US Federal elections . . .

There is no Federal US election.
The President is elected by the States. Has been that way for for 240+ years. Every Presidential election brings out idiots and dopes who don't understand the how or why it is the way it is. It's not easy to explain, and most Americans are too ignorant to comprehend the basic concept.

Google 'Electoral College'.

in the country where i grew up an i am allowed to vote the people vote for different parties, the government is that put together with people that represent the percentage of the votes.
each party get as many seats in relation as they have votes.
for example if a party gets 30% of all votes they get 30% of the seats
this parliament than votes for a leader.

that is it explained in 3 sentences

i understand, with that system it is possible that somebody can be president even he does not get the most votes from the people.

why are you bring all that up.

as i said, it does not madder how the election system works in USA.

What madders is Trumps actions.

he tries to make a politic that is against the normal people and benefits greatly the rich people and his own businesses.

It is really hard to understand why what Trump does is not a crime in America.

I mean, my country is notoriously corrupt, but at least they have to hide it. But in the USA there seems to be no law against doing politics for one's own benefits.

Trump steals a fifth of his campaign cash, promotes racism, islamophobia and homophobia, and attempts to turn the Presidency of the United States into his personal gold mine, and he's the savior of the country.

he did not simply acknowledge that, he claimed that is because of voter fraud, and that was a claim without any evidence.

more and more people see this and do not approve anymore with him.
he simply deny this and calls it all fake news.


all his actions shows that he has no clue what to do as a president.
he try to run a country like his family business

and like he got a few times bankrupt with his businesses, he will also make the country bankrupt.
