Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Donald Trump is a “puppet” to psychopathic traits that are likely to become even more dangerous if Republicans suffer a bruising defeat in next month’s midterm elections, a leading clinical psychologist has warned.

Dr. Vincent Greenwood, director of the Washington Center for Cognitive Therapy, also believes the president’s danger is underestimated and warrants invoking the 25th Amendment.

Crazy how this gets more attention as the 2 year mark grows closer. Vance is creaming his pants about the 10 years of hell he has planned for women and minorities.

Vance worse then Trump

Need remove Vance first

[–] Stormy@thelemmy.club 9 points 1 hour ago

No one can do anything, and no one is willing to do anyhting.

“The clinical psychopath is just...

Not a real thing...

Like, it's just literally not a real thing. If trump actually had ASPD (anti social personality disorder) he wouldn't be this evil or do this much damage. And he'd be biochemically incapable of being racist, but he's definitely fucking racist.

Any doctor talking about psychopath 13 years after it was removed from the DSM shouldn't be listened to, even if they're saying what we want to hear

Why are people with ASPD incapable of being racist?

[–] the_q@piefed.social 1 points 15 minutes ago

Don't listen to this person.

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 3 points 28 minutes ago (1 children)

Congress needs an Executive Babysitting Committee where they bring in Trump for questioning and answering to his administration's crimes every day with a rotating inquisitor. That should occupy him enough to keep him from doing dumb shit because on the weekend he'll only have energy to go golfing.

He just wouldn’t show up and they would be too scared to drag him in

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 2 points 10 minutes ago

Not reading that. Daily Beat is a shitty shitty source.

I don't disagree with this headline, but I was mainly opening article to see if they addressed the fact that doctors are bound not to diagnose without seeing the patient, so while it is probably true, it's wrong of doctors to say. Btu seeing the source, no thanks.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 59 minutes ago

He’s a puppet to more than that

[–] yonderbarn@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 hour ago

Unless he's dead nothing changes.
