RE: Psychiatrist says Trump shouldn't have access to nuclear button
As a person who worked with dual diagnosed individuals in Los Angeles, I would have to say that Trump probably has a combination of Borderline Personality Disorder and MCD or Mild Cognitive Disorder or a little bit of Alzheimer's.
or, he could be a very sane and rational person in an insane progressive society
He could be a person with what was until recently common moral values in a society with no moral values.
He could be a person who sees right as right and wrong as wrong, as opposed to the progressive view that there is no right there is no wrong, anything goes were yes means no, no means nothing, right is wrong, and wrong is right.
Just a thought
The thing is that right is right and wrong is wrong ONLY in a legal framework (which Trump has repeatedly tried to circumvent in my opinion) Why I disagree with you is that unless the Rule of Law exists, every body's right or everybody's wrong is of equal weight and that cannot be otherwise you have pandemonium. By the way I wasn't joking about Trump's stability AT ALL. He does seem to be suffering from something or a combination of somethings as any person can at his age.
BTW: I am neither "Progressive" or "Conservative". I have problems with all of you guys.
hmmm...while at the same time undoing the many many violations of rule of law that Obama violated.
Obama circumvented the courts as well as the legislature routinely
Are you as critical of Obama as you are the president that is trying the up hill battle of setting things strait?
I am quite curious to get examples of a “progressive view” of no right or wrong - anything goes” and were yes means no and no means yes.
Start with "common core" educational system where it is actively taught that anything goes except what violates the views of the viewer: atheism is openly accepted, bible or Christian views are scorned.
Read news regularly from various sources: look at antifa, or the outrage on campuses when 'another viewpoint' is offered up in a venue that purports itself as defenders of free speech:
'it is right if it conports to my view and is wrong if it does not'
also: general history of society = promoting self reliance produces a self reliant people,
promoting dependency (entitlements unearned) produces a society dependent on handouts. Think about this my friend. on your own. Progressivism teaches opposites and pushes society into accepting one world big brother dependence on elitists who 'know what is good for us so must make our decisions for us'
Christianity is not scorned. People that hold other individuals accountable for their personal beliefs are scorned. Atheism isn't openly accepted. I routinely get told I'm a bad person for my lack of faith.
Being "Christian" is to believe in and attempt to 'be like the Christ' by following the tenants of the faith written in the NT. If a "christian" does not reflect 1 corinthians 13, AND 'the golden rule' Mathew 7:12.
Faith and understanding the scientific method and the power of the peer review process are entirely different things...
PS
the peer review process is meticulous in gleaning out other scientists that disagree with the pack.
the peers chosen to be published are peers generally in total accord with the belief system the peer selection comes from...
Scientific American Magazine was created by a strong Christian man that wanted to bring science to the general population.
Now Scientific American does not allow publication of known Christians...no bias there is there?
no
they are the same
faith in evolution is based on certain scientific impossibilities actually happened against all odds
Faith in creation is based on certain scientific impossibilities actually happened against all odds
Faith is secular humanism is a faith of the imaginations of men
Faith in the Bible is a faith in the word of God
OK, let’s focus on what we agree on, as there seems to be quite a few….
promoting dependency (entitlements unearned) produces a society dependent on handouts”. If America was a true meritocracy this would be a fair statement. American meritocracy, however, is a myth. I agree that those who have privilege (which they have not earned) should not accept handouts. Corporate welfare and tax cuts for the morbidly rich are perfect examples. If there is such a creature such as the welfare queen, I agree she should be stopped. I live in an urban setting, however, and have not come across one of these creatures. Addicts, yes. The working poor who are working two jobs just to get food on the table, yes. The homeless, yes. Criminals, yes. A woman with 6 kids living a cushy life-style on their welfare check, no. The true welfare queens that abuse tax paying welfare systems are businesses who use fraudulent practices for their own financial gain. That should be stopped.
wow...so much misinformation I have not the time or energy to address in a simple reply, and certainly do not want the effort to be lost in this string: follow me in my 2020 vision posts and I will properly address your lengthy retort systematically but in short installments. This specific subjest is my primary purpose for my recent joining of steem...I hope to see you there...it may take some time to properly address each point...I am new at this steem thing, old and slow...but I will get there. Bless you friend. :-)
I may consider it if you give me an idea on what you consider misinformation
Please bear with me a bit. New to this steemy thing and having a bit of a time navigating back & forth, finding strings, confusing for me. But I do intend to address the above...TIA
It seems to me that Trump may have developed a mild form of dementia in recent years. He seems sharper in interviews given a couple of decades ago. That would go a long way to explain his strange tweets.
his tweets was/is a segway or natural progression from his early days.
He used to use sensationalist 'newspapers' a lot, and very purposefully.
He would plant an article on a hot topic, generate public interest (pos & neg)
and then proceed towards his goals from there.
Tweeting is more efficacious and much more handy.
My personal take on people 'not liking that he tweets' is:
They hate the content and the fact that his word, views, plans, opinions get out to the public...the main stream media hates that = they want to control the narrative =
a power taken away from them by tweets from a bold man with a plan...
@stanfordlocke you really got me hooked with this piece of comment. had to read it thrice!
;-) don't keep it to yourself ;-)
our country is on an historic 'knife edge'
spread the word
:-)
How is he sane/healthy? His obvious faults are the constant lying (whether intentional or pathological remains to be determined), and his narcissism. He's not humble, he's not tactful, he's not doing any good for the commonwealth. His policies favor the rich.
Hmmm...How would you compare Trump's lies to those of the Clinton Family, and Obama?
I would say he's far more prolific with his lies and more obvious.
wow
have you ever listened to Hilary?
compared her promises to her accomplishments?
Her pre first lady days?
travelgate?
benghazi?
my lord!
I'm not a medical professional of any kind and in my completely unprofessional opinion Donald Trump has strong narcissistic traits. Trump appears childlike in his thirst for admiration. It is disturbing to learn about his antics in the White House. The entire discussion about whether or not Trump's inauguration had the highest number of spectators or not was utterly ridiculous. It is as if Trump had no sense of dignity at all. He makes it seem as if nothing was beneath him. Most thirteen-year-olds appear to be more mature and emotionally stable than him. Trump's election seems like a giant middle finger in the face of the establishment by the electorate. Mainstream Americans simply can't be as stupid as to find Trump a good president or even suitable for a high political office in the first place.
He has something wrong with him period.
as do we all
me
you
clinton
obama
everyone born to this earth
strange/interesting divergence of points of view and 'takes' on 'the other side'...
hmmmm
Obama (to me and most of those many I have discussed this line with) is the very definition of a man with "strong narcissistic traits"
Obama used/uses "me" and "I" almost exclusively, rare use of "we"
Trump uses "we" and "our" almost exclusively, rare use of "I"
Yet trump is disdained for allegedly being self serving
and Obama is held in high esteem for allegedly serving others
Obama plays golf and its ok
Trump plays golf and it is a sin
it is hard to view things from different paradigms...but I suggest you try
America's fait is in the ballance...come 2020 it will be finally decided
will we be a nation of sheep...1984 on steroids
or can we return the the sovereign self reliant productive free society we once had...???
If you want minimal government, you don't need Trump. Why don't you elect an actual libertarian instead?
My criticism of Trump has nothing to do with his politics. Trump just doesn't understand the first thing about how government works. For that reason, he is an exceptionally ineffective American political leader. As a politician he is like a carpenter who doesn't know which end of the hammer he is supposed to hit the nail with.
If "I" could elect a libertarian I think I would.
but realism dictates either Progressive or Conservative
Progressives own the Democrat party and a growing portion of Republicans
So I look at candidates that have some evidence of not being sold out to Progressives.
The thing I like most about Trump is that he does not fit the "polititian" classic model.
When I ran for state rep I was much like him
eschewing traditional kiss butt jargon & false promises
Trump, for not being a politician, is accomplishing a lot considering he has to fight every minute against the tides of progressivism, secular humanism, and the globalization forces.
He played a big part in the tax reform, and wanted more but was checked by dems and reps and Mr. Paul
He is freeing up the business climate that is surging because of his efforts.
and is pushing hard for reestablishing our Constitution to be law of the land again...
Ain't no one perfect
you, me, him, paul, no one
but at least Trump is fighting the evils of the left
until the 2018 elections he is all we got
2018 could push him further backk
or help his efforts
2020 will be the big day or reckoning
