“... inconsistent behaviors repetitively displayed in public by Trump and his cohorts ... disqualifies [them] from serving in public/political office/capacity — and provides ample justification for their removal from those positions.”

“In 20 years of writing about the military, I have never heard officers in high positions express such alarm about a president. Trump’s pronouncements and orders have already risked catastrophic and unnecessary wars in the Middle East and Asia, ....”

Silly me for writing an 11,400-word article containing illustrations of @realDonaldTrump’s pathological narcissism and sociopathy. I could have just retweeted this.
“Any serious impeachment proceedings should consider not only the evidence and the substance of all impeachable offenses, but also the psychological factors that may be relevant to the motivations underlying those offenses.”

“Congress should [consult] psychologists and psychiatrists. Is Trump so narcissistic that he can’t help but use his office for his own personal ends? Is he so sociopathic that he can’t be trusted to follow, let alone faithfully execute, the law?”

“Starting long before revelations about Trump’s interactions with Ukraine’s president rocked Washington, Trump’s phone calls with foreign leaders were an anxiety-ridden set of events for his aides and members of the administration, according to former and current officials.”
“They worried that Trump would make promises he shouldn’t keep, endorse policies the United States long opposed, commit a diplomatic blunder that jeopardized a critical alliance, or simply pressure a counterpart for a personal favor.”

I agree with you! It is important not to pigeonhole persons, but disease process should be recognized for what it is and not be enabled or normalized but contained. You do this not to convince the other side—it will inevitably antagonize—but to ground ourselves in health.
Once we have grounding, we will be empowered to bring the situation around to a more life-affirming place. Changing the situation in this manner helps lift the other side out of disease, not trying to convince them or even to give them “equal say.”
Of course, this only applies to pathological situations, which mental health professionals can help the public to identify. There is a great deal of research and evidence not to be mistaken in this recognition, especially as we educate ourselves and practice mental hygiene.

Someone forwarded the following Federalist article to me, and since it works almost as a compilation of myths, I will respond to it as a way of correcting them: thefederalist.com/2019/07/16/hap…
1/ “At the behest of House Democrats,…”
The author did not researched well. She echoes the Washington Examiner’s promulgation of the rumor that we were catering to “the Dems,” when we waited for a Republican for 18 months before reaching out to a Democrat with bipartisan reach.
2/ “… they will recommend Trump be removed from office.”
This has never been our recommendation. If the author did not read the recommendations of our report: we recommend that the nuclear and war-making powers, at minimum, be contained without comment on removal.

1/ "The ordinary response to atrocities is to banish them from consciousness. Certain violations of the social compact are too terrible to utter aloud: this is the meaning of the word 'unspeakable'."

~Dr Judith Herman, "Trauma & Recovery", opening sentences.
2/ "Remembering and telling the truth about terrible events are prerequisites both for the restoration of the social order and for the healing of individual victims."

~Dr. Judith Herman, "Trauma & Recovery"

#prerequisites
3/ "The conflict between the will to deny horrible events & the will to proclaim them aloud is the central dialectic of psychological trauma ... Witnesses as well as victims are subject to the dialectic of trauma."

Recommendation 15: ZBC needs to be reformed into a truly independent public service
broadcaster and state-owned media must abide by their legal obligation to be impartial and
provide equitable treatment to all political parties and candidates.- @eueomzimbabwe

@eueomzimbabwe In accordance with the Electoral Act, from 4 July the state broadcaster ZBC afforded free access to political contestants through various programming aired on TV and radio stations. - @eueomzimbabwe report

THREAD: Why do the media and politicians treat NRA spokespersons as if they officially represent the 2A (and, implicitly, the Constitution)? 1/40
The NRA has no right to speak for the 2A above anyone else. The NRA can say it does. But that's not true. The NRA and the 2A are two different things entirely. 2/40
The NRA should do what it wants within the limits of the law to promote its agenda in a free marketplace of products and ideas. Great, have at it. 3/40
