    There was an episode of the doctor show "House" where one passenger gets sick, and a second passenger overhears the doctors whispering that it's probably an airborne infectious disease. The rumor spreads. Very quickly a majority of the passengers start feeling and even exhibiting the same symptoms as the one sick passenger. House finally tells them that none of them are sick, that it's not an infectious disease after all, and their symptoms immediately subside. It was just mass hysteria.

    I think that's part of Trump Derangement Syndrome. The media and "celebrities" like Barbra Striesand, Joy Bar and now David Letterman have been telling people the sky is falling tor 2 years, and so the masses believe it. They are making themselves sick.

    Can it really take 2 years to get over a person like Hillary Clinton?

    Is David Letterman's opinion more significant than Joe the Plumber's?

    Why?

    Uh, maybe it’s because Joe the Plumber was always a liar, and had no entertainment value.

    Well...I have been saying that Trump is one of the most disgusting abominations ever to hold high office in the United States...that he is narcissistic, ignorant, unwilling to be schooled, childish, and, in general, a classless boor.

    That actually should be classified as "honesty" rather than "hysteria"...although I can understand why someone with so little self-respect they would actually continue to support this narcissistic, ignorant, unwilling to be schooled, childish, classless boor.

    How was that?

    Bingo.

    Trump Derangement Syndrome is in reality Trump Honesty Syndrome. Honesty is what Trumpers find annoying......just like Don. Hence, the "fake news" ruse.

    I feel the same about Hillary, just as I did towards Bill. But I would never let it make me physically ill, no matter what Samantha Bee told me.

    But be of good cheer. Hillary may yet get into the ring again.

    Yeah. It was so great it will serve to get Trump reelected.

    I have to agree with you and @Frank that it is about time that we had an HONEST discussion as to the origin and spread of the infection.

    IMO the BLOTUS is PATIENT ZERO as far as this is concerned and while the MAJORITY of the nation appear to be IMMUNE to his delusional canards there is a segment that appears to have never obtained the benefit of Critical Thinking vaccines. This leaves them susceptible to his bovine excrement laden falsehoods with the unfortunate consequences that we can see all around our nation.

    Hopefully this epidemic will be cured by fumigating the Oval office in 2020.

    So now he's a cockroach? A cockroach got us to full employment?

    Deride Te is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Mueller didn't come through for him. No collusion, no urinating Russian prostitutes. All that's left is disappointment , making the initial shock of Hillary's loss all the more bitter. I'd be sick too if I looked at the world as he does.

    But I've got a good life and I'll be damned if I'll let some election result (subject to term limits and new elections)make me sick.

    Come on people, shake it off.

    This was never about Hillary Clinton. The moment you trumpers finally figure that out, you can start to get a grasp on reality.

    I NEVER liked Clinton. I pretty much despise Clinton. But trump is pure evil.

    That you haven't figure this out YET shows that you have been completely brainwashed by rw nonsense.

    Here's the lovely Fran Liebowitz on Bill Maher:

    “Whenever I think about this and what he really deserves, I think we should turn him over to the Saudis…his buddies,” she continued. “The same Saudis, you know, who got rid of that reporter. Maybe they could do the same for him.”

    Tell me that wishing for the live dismemberment of Donald Trump on a widely viewed cable show, isn't a sign of illness?

    Mueller laid out a clear case for impeachment. But the spineless republicans in the Senate would never convict.

    Your ability to twist facts into total nonsense is quite impressive.

    trump refused to denounce and act against cold-blooded murder - the Saudi prince. In fact, he said he loves one man who shot his uncle with an anti-aircraft gun. He admires the strength of the killer Putin. He praises a man who bragged about committing cold-blooded murder - Duterte. That you don't care about that is definitely sick.

    I didn't vote for Trump and don't currently plan to vote for his reelection, but it's because of his failure to propose serious reduction of the national debt, not mental illness.

    If Trump had lost, you wouldn't be obsessing like this. And be honest, what bad things have really resulted from his election? War? Economic Depression? Unemployment?

    Or just the revulsion and histrionics of Barbra Streisand, Stephen Colbert and their trained seals?

    You're making yourself sick.

    You're misinformed. Trump declared that he didn't think the Prince was involved in the murder. That's a little different from "Hey, so he murdered some guy."

    You dont keep peace with North
    Korea by running your mouth about some unprovable, though possibly true, story about an anti aircraft gun.

    I "care," but I don't wring my hands.

    The behavior of Republican's in the Senate has nothing to do with it. The House can "indict" the President. The President knows a TV show (impeachment process) on his behavior would turn the current 50/50 impeachment polls against him. Hence, the administration's current behavior. The Dem "Leadership", as usual, is cowering in mental gymnastics mode: it's substance not process stupid(s).

    Yeah. There is a clear case already in the public realm but our lazy public doesn't read they watch TV.

    I still can't believe that toxic candidates like Trump and Hillary were the best we could come up with - that's the really unbelievable part.

    Oh, and in politics, David Leterrman's opinion IS more significant that Joe the Plumber's - because in politics, the person who can donate more money to the cause gets their opinions heard. Ain't right. But it is reality.

    They weren't. There was Johnson, whom I voted for.

    Some of who don't care for the freebooting, lying con artist you put in the White House didn't vote for Useless Hillary. There's nothing for us to "get over" with regard to Whitewater Winnie.

    We were headed there anyway.

    The problem is real wages aren't going up very much--even less under Trump than they did in Obama's second term.

    [​IMG]

    Trump is a freebooting con artist. Trump lends his name to properties that go broke, Trump University, Trump steaks, Trump merchandise, and on and on.
    It looks like Trump may have shot himself in the foot by obstructing Mueller.
    I assume you're talking to both sides on this one. Trump is going too far with his recent stonewall of Congress, but the paranoia around him, for instance, not leaving office if he loses, is nuts. My family is overrun by military and I know what would happen if a President tried to stay in office--he'd be sent packing. The BS coming from Trump about "the left" trying to steal his Presidency is whipping up unfounded fears on the right.
