With each passing week he displays the classic symptoms of medium-grade mania in more disturbing forms: inflated self-esteem, sleeplessness, impulsivity, aggression and a compulsion to offer advice on subjects he knows nothing about.

His speech patterns are like something straight out of a psychiatric textbook. Manics display something called “flight of ideas.” It’s a formal thought disorder in which ideas tumble forth through a disordered chain of associations. One word sparks another, which sparks another, and they’re off to the races.

Assuming this is shown to be true, for an armchair psychologist I guess I'm not too bad. I've been saying this almost since I started posting about Trump. So this armchair dx isn't new, at least not to me.

Better a manic than a pathological warmonger. At least IMHO.

I think it's time you disabused yourself of that pleasant little fairy tale about our fearless leaders being some sort of surrogate daddy or mommy, laying awake at night thinking about how to protect the kids. HA! In reality, they're thinking about who to sell them to so that they can get a few more shekels in their pockets.

It is worse than you think.

Donald Trump 'is psychologically unbalanced'

Dr Halper-Hayes, who has previously defended Mr Trump, told Today programme presenter Justin Webb that she was "very concerned" about the psychological state of the presidential nominee.

Donald Trump is "out of control" according to Dr Jan Halper-Hayes, worldwide vice-president of Republicans Overseas.

I know this rally belongs in the Hillary thread, but ....


Is Something Wrong With Hillary: Bizarre Behavior, Seizure Allegations Raise Doubts About Her Health

Quote:

As the presidential campaign enters its final stages, probing questions have emerged about the health condition of Hillary Clinton.

Hillary' bizarre, erratic behavior on the campaign trail has left many people wondering whether she is seriously ill. Hillary has at multiple times had convulsions that appear to be seizures on camera, including a series of seemingly inexplicable coughing fits.




A frequently referenced video, shown below, alleging that Hillary may have seizure-like conditions emerged several weeks ago and has so far failed to lead to a conclusive explanation whether Hillary may have ongoing health problems and potential residual aftereffects from a blood clot in her brain sustained three years ago.

Recall in January 2013, CNN reported that then Secretary of State Clinton was treated with blood thinners at a New York hospital to help dissolve a blood clot in her head. Back then doctors were confident she would make a full recovery. Clinton was admitted to New York Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday due to the clot that was discovered during a follow-up exam related to a concussion she suffered this month, her spokesman, Philippe Reines, said. The clot was located in the vein between the brain and and the skull behind Clinton's right ear and did not result in any stroke or neurological damage, her doctors said in a statement.

Going further back, back in 2005, then Senator Hillary fainted during a speech in Buffalo, NY, where she received medical attention on site. “About five minutes into the speech, she said she was queasy,” said Erie County Democratic Chairman Len Lenihan, who was at the Women’s TAP fund-raiser at the private club. "Clinton left the podium and continued her talk sitting in a chair but eventually left the room, saying she needed a break, Lenihan said. She returned to the podium a short time later but fainted before resuming her speech. “It became clear she was faint. She was sort of brought down gracefully,” he said.

The room was cleared, and Clinton immediately received medical attention from, among others, a doctor who attended the event.

And so, questions about Hillary's health remain, especially after photos emerged over the weekend showing Hillary demonstrating unease while climbing stairs.

This has led to further speculation about the identity of a man, allegedly part of her secret service, who some has been dubbed as her "handler", a person who is supposedly her personal doctor

We saw this first “doctor” during Hillary’s recent freeze-up. As the following captures show, Hillary’s handler appears always ready to reassure Hillary, moving Secret Service Agents out of the way, urging her to "keep talking". According to Cernovich "this handler is not an ord

And FDR had polio, so Republican Herbert Hoover should have been reelected President rather than Roosevelt. Hoover outlived Roosevelt by 20 years, thus Hoover would have been the better President. Except Roosevelt was one of the best Presidents while Hoover was in the category of worst Presidents: a stubborn, incompetent asshole (much like Trump) who spent the rest of his life muttering that FDR was a Commie. Even drunkard in the White House Nixon is better rated than Hoover.

You misremember the first few weeks after 9/11. People where shocked, uncertain. Even weeks later dumbya had to tell people to 'go shopping', which had a lot of people internally snickering.

No, the adulation came later, after dumbya settled on Afghanistan and it went so very quickly (never mind the fact that a decade and a half later we're still there).




Let me just point out that the author left out vital relevant facts in the opinion piece. Doing that is known as cherry-picking. And whether you do that in the news, in discussion, in debate or in opinion, when you distort the facts, you've changed the nature of your communication into propaganda. But WE don't have any of THAT in the US, do we?!

creepy videos

I've seen a lot of seizures but I've not seen anything like those. That weird expression plastered on her face doesn't make any sense at all, seizure-wise, nor does the head-bobbing, or the freezing. They're bilateral and/ or global unlike normal adult-onset seizures that start focally then generalize.

Head bobbing shows up in infantile spasms, but it doesn't look the same ... and Hillary's not an infant.

So Very Wrong. One of the points I was making is that Americans are easy to fool for good or bad ratings. To show that, I have to show the voters being immediately fooled. It took years to slowly come to a wiser opinion about Bush, but all his inadequacies were present when he was Gov of Texas and while he was campaigning in 2000: "Mr. Bush enjoyed a high approval rating of 90 percent -- the highest of any president -- following the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.

Mr. Bush edged out his father for that highest rating. George H.W. Bush received an 88 percent approval rating in 1991 amid the success of the first Gulf War. Truman comes closest to Mr. Bush's record low approval rating of 20 percent."

Typical Republicans loved Bush all the way to the end of his term.
Greatest President Ever next to George Washington!

Donald Trump just finished his big economic policy speech. Every single one of his proposals would benefit the rich and do nothing for the working and middle classes. But he sure knows how to put a populist spin ("your tax will be zero!") on giveaways to the rich, doesn't he? Here are the pieces that caught my eye:

Huge tax cut for the rich.

But no spending cuts that he's willing to admit to.

End of estate taxes.

Cut corporate tax rate to 15 percent.

Allow corporations to repatriate foreign earnings at a special 10 percent rate.

Slash regulations on corporations.

Pretend global warming doesn't exist.

Ban all new financial regulation.

Repeal Obamacare.

Most of the speech was just the usual tired Republican orthodoxy. Mitt Romney could have given 90 percent of it. There was also a lot of random guff about how disastrous the economy is; how the unemployment rate is a hoax; and how American energy, planes, cars, steel, and so forth will employ way more American workers once he becomes president.

You bet.

"you post really obvious, really poorly manipulated videos"

How are they manipulated? They show the troubling events in time-relevant context. And that's what I was looking for, which didn't show up in the previous videos, which is the complete before-during-after sequence in real time.

They look like neurologically aberrant events that arise out of routine circumstances. And the experience I have (I'm not a neurologist) doesn't even allow me to classify them, except perhaps the 'interview' one, where her eyes (and body) very briefly deviate to her left. That could indicate a focal lateralized seizure, probably right-sided. But all the rest of it - the confused, terrified freezing; the repeated head-jerk; the stereotypic surprise-mask - looks completely bizarre to me.
