Democrats Suggest Invoking The 25th Amendment Unless Trump "Gets A Grip"

The timid who cower and hide often find the bold and the brave to be unfathomable to their minds.

Nah. In this case, it's just the unprofessional and partisan.


Ethics Reminder Offered About 'Goldwater Rule' on Talking to Media

...It is alarming and an embarrassment for our profession to have reckless assertions of this kind disseminated by the media. But they do serve the purpose of raising important questions about our professional conduct. How should our profession respond to requests for media interviews?

Psychiatrists are bound by the ethical code of the medical profession, specifically defined in The Principles of Medical Ethics of the AMA and in APA's The Principles of Medical Ethics With Annotations Especially Applicable to Psychiatry (hereafter “Principles”). These Principles are “standards of conduct that define the essentials of honorable behavior for the physician.” Within these Principles can be found clear direction on the ethical requirements for communicating with the media...


Section 7.3

On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed information about himself/herself through public media. In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or her expertise about psychiatric issues in general. However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.​

By their own standards, they are so.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) in a floor speech this week called for a review of the Constitution's procedures for removing a president. He warned the 25th Amendment of the Constitution falls short when it comes to mental or emotional fitness for office.

Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) during a weekend interview with CNN’s “State of the Union” said that “a few” Republican colleagues have expressed concern to him about Trump's mental health.'

The fact that these professionals are willing to put their name on the line and disobey that protocol speaks volumes about their integrity and patriotism.

Indeed it does. Simply not in the way that you want, however convenient you find it for temporary partisan gain.


Just to be clear, though, if I go back through the posts a few months ago, when folks were talking about Hillary being secretly super-sick, I"m totes going to find you lauding the medical doctors going on TV to say that in their opinion she is unfit to serve, yeah?

 

[Μολὼν λαβέ]

They didn't riot in the streets, go after his family and encourage espionage, neither.

It seems the dems have gone bat **** crazy over Trump. They remind me of Chief Inspector Dreyfuss going after Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther.

I wonder how many of them will seek psychiatric treatment?

Simply tell it like it is.

Because you thought FOX passing along theories that she was secretly sick/dying was totally patriotic and brave?

The 25th has to be invoked by the VP. Good luck.

Or just to their stupidity and biases.. and the stupidity and biases of the whiny losers looking for confirmation and and reasons to criticize Trump.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/...ychiatrist-demurs-on-trumps-mental-state.html

Most amateur diagnosticians have mislabeled President Trump with the diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder. I wrote the criteria that define this disorder, and Mr. Trump doesn’t meet them. He may be a world-class narcissist, but this doesn’t make him mentally ill, because he does not suffer from the distress and impairment required to diagnose mental disorder.

The writer, professor emeritus of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University Medical College, was chairman of the task force that wrote the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (D.S.M.-IV).

One representative mentioned the 25 Amendment. Al Franken made an off the cuff remark. CNN went full stupid trying to whip up a controversy. No wonder most people don't take CNN seriously.

Actually, those citing Trumps authoritarian ways and mental instability are growing every day.. Recently Governor McAuliffe of Virginia summed it up rather nicely



There is a very very strong sense in the nation that Trump is illegitimate and is taking the nation down a dangerous path - both domestically and with foreign nations and must be opposed like no president ever has in modern times.

I expect when Spring comes, we really see some fireworks. The Indivisible groups are just now getting organized and the Tax Day protest in April could well be larger than the January 21 demonstrations.

Actually there aren't more people citing anything. The ones that have been citing it are just throwing a louder tantrum. Children do that. They get louder when they don't get their way. Did you know that one can diagnose herpes by reading a person's posts?

Dude, get real.
