"It is time to stop relying on political pundits to weigh in on Trump's behavior, which they often soften and even normalize," Blotcky and Norrholm write. "We are psychologists, and we are convinced Donald Trump is a psychopath. His malignant behavior over the past four years is growing and escalating right before our eyes. Trump's psychopathy will change us forever if he is not stopped."

The psychologists offer a long list of reasons why they believe that Trump "may well destroy our 244-year-old democracy" if he isn't voted out of office in November and why they believe his "mental health" is in such a terrible state. Trump, they write, not only "breaks norms, rules and laws with impunity" and "peddles fake conspiracy theories and irrational magical thinking" — he also "blames, scapegoats and gaslights as easily as he breathes" and "undermines the vital role of the free press, because he abhors oversight and accountability."

In addition to those things, the psychologists write in their op-ed, Trump "has no conscience" and "denigrates and humiliates anyone and everyone in his path."

The rest of you, not so much.

what do you call a President who toppled three nations- creating three failed states, attempted to topple several more, kept a "kill list" ("I'm rather good at that") and spied on any citizen without restraint?

What do you call a Secretary of State who said "We came, we saw, he died! *giggle*" after Gaddafi was sodomized with a knife by jihadis, and Libya was turned into a hellhole by jihadis and mercs, with slave auctions and everything?

Personally, I find THAT more disordered than anything Trump has done.

'Cause it was such a paradise before we got there

Yanno, it has to be disappointing blah blah blahing about brown people all the time and no one gives a shit.

Most of the Middle East could be nuked off the planet and people here wouldn't stop what they are doing to watch the news about it.

Maybe you should find a new cause??

Sigh.

The point, WISHI, is that ...

*** ***WE DID THAT.*** ***

Or, more to the point, your hero did that. So, tell me why you don't care.

ACTUALLY, IT WAS.

You may not know this ... well, there's a LOT you don't know! ... but the standard of living in Libya was higher than in any other African nation, and higher than many eastern European nations, because Qaddafi spent the nation's oil wealth on Libya.

The average calories per person per day was over 3000. The literacy rate ... yes, among women too ... was near 100%. Public school was compulsory, and free. Houses were granted to newly-married couples.

After coming to power, the RCC government initiated a process of directing funds toward providing education, health care and housing for all. Public education in the country became free and primary education compulsory for both sexes. Medical care became available to the public at no cost, but providing housing for all was a task the RCC government was not able to complete.

As far as women's rights are concerned, women fared far better in Libya than in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and other Middle Eastern nations, and better than in India ...nations with abysmal records on human rights and women's rights, with astonishing wealth gaps and yet which we consider "friends".

Yet during the four decades of his rule, in contrast to many Arab and African countries, women made progress in Libya. Under King Idris, whom Gaddafi overthrew in 1969, less than a quarter of girls went to primary school, but he increased compulsory education from six to nine years, which boosted female literacy from one of the lowest to one of the highest in the region. By the time he was ousted there were more women than men at university. He encouraged women to take up jobs such as teaching, nursing and administrative work but they also became pharmacists, doctors, dentists and sometimes engineers. Traditionally, a Libyan woman joined a man’s family on marriage after the payment of a bride price, and was then largely restricted to the home, but through the 1970s and 80s the old ways started to break down. By the end of Gadaffi’s rule, there were more women in the workforce in Libya than in most Arab countries.

Once Libya was overtaken, mostly by jihadis, captured women were taken as property and traded and sold as slaves, and libya remains one of the highest sources of refugees into Europe, because the Libyan "victors" capture people and shake them down for escape money before shoving them into little leaky boats where they can drown in the Mediterranean.

Yep, Obama and Hillary did that.

You say you're all about women's rights, but all you seem to do is empty virtue-signalling.

ENSLAVED AND RAPED IN LIBYA: How this woman escaped from IS captivity

Since the group emerged in Libya in late 2014, some 240,000 migrants and refugees have traversed the war-torn country. The fighters then enslaved, raped, sold or exchanged at least 63 captive women, nine of whom described their ordeal in detail to Reuters.

On the night of June 2, 2015, gunmen blocked a highway on Libya’s northern coast and stopped a white truck speeding toward Tripoli, the capital. The men trained their assault rifles on the driver. Three climbed aboard to search the cargo.

Ruta Fisehaye, a 24-year-old Eritrean, was lying on the bed of the truck’s first trailer. Beside her lay 85 Eritrean men and women, one of whom was pregnant. A few dozen Egyptians hid in the second trailer. All shared one dream — to reach Europe.

The gunmen ordered the migrants off the truck. They separated Muslims from Christians and, then, men from women. They asked those who claimed to be Muslims to recite the Shahada, a pledge to worship only Allah. All of the Egyptians shouted the words in unison.

“There is no god but God. Muhammad is the messenger of God.”

“Allahu Akbar,” the gunmen called back.

Fisehaye realised then that she was in the hands of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria...

... It only took a week for Fisehaye and the other women to attempt another breakout. Nine escaped, but not Fisehaye. Instead, she was brought back to the makeshift prison and whipped for days. The Korean doctor tended to her wounds.

... The ranks of Islamic State fighters swelled. At its peak, the group may have had 6,000 fighters in Libya, based on the US Army’s estimates, although the Pentagon drastically cut that estimate this month to a thousand fighters in Sirte.

The single men, most of whom flocked from other parts of Africa, needed companions, and Islamic State enlisted older women in Sirte to help. The women, called ‘crows’ because they dressed in black, visited townspeople’s homes and registered single girls older than 15 as potential brides, says Brigadier Gnaidy of the Misrata forces.

As the group’s ambitions grew that summer, so did its need for women. Islamic State’s take on sharia permits men to take sex slaves.

... “You are now sabaya,” Hafeezo told Kidane, using the archaic term for slave. There were four possible outcomes for her and the other women, he explained. Their respective owners could make them their sex slaves, give them away as gifts, sell them to other militias, or set them free.

“Do not worry about what will happen to you in the hands of men,” Kidane says Hafeezo told her. “Concern yourself only with where you stand with Allah.”

Kidane did not share this detail with Fisehaye or the other women, hoping to save them from despair.

Later, one of Hafeezo’s superiors came to the compound to take a census. He wrote the women’s names and ages on a ledger. He asked them to lift their veils and examined their faces. He returned a week later and took two of the youngest women, aged 15 and 18, with him. On December 17, he sent for Kidane. That day, he gave her to a Libyan member of an Islamic State brigade in Sirte. Despite her repeated pleas, her new owner refused to reunite her with Fisehaye.

In late January, a stomach ulcer confined Fisehaye to her bed. Stress made matters worse. Returning from a hospital visit one afternoon, she witnessed a child, no older than 9, shoot a man in the town square.

Soon after, she and the remaining female captives moved to a warehouse in Sirte where Islamic State stored appliances, fuel and slaves. A group of 15 Eritrean women, who had been kidnapped in July, and three Ethiopian women kidnapped in January joined them that week.

The warehouse became, to the women, a last frontier of defiance. As new Muslims, they argued for better healthcar
