Trump just actually tweeted in response to being told he was telling DHS to do illegal things that he would simply pardon those who break the law doing his bidding...

...even thinking that is impeachable, let alone telling his new "acting" people that he wants them to do illegal things. Every federal worker has an obligation to refuse to break the law or face prosecution for acting on illegal orders.

Those there thought he might be joking. Thoughts are not impeachable. You liberals are really desperately pathetically suffering from terminal TDS

Liberals, you say Which of the following best describes those with TDS …..

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their love of Donald Trump, to the point they will abandon all logic and reason.

Symptoms for this condition can be very diverse, ranging from r****t or xenophobic outbursts to a complete disconnection from reality. TDS can also often result in the sufferer exhibiting violent, homicidal, or even genocidal desires, particularly against residents from foreign countries.

Sufferers have also been known to wish direct self-harm on themselves (such as increased tariffs, a desire for tax cuts heavily favoring corporations and the 1%, infringement of first amendment rights, and even the destruction of NATO for comrade Putin), provided that action was initiated by Donald Trump.

Paranoia is also a common symptom of TDS. Sufferers have been known to believe that they are in some way being persecuted when their Trump related beliefs are questioned, and in some cases believe they are about to be a victim of an immigrant related crime. The paranoia does however not seem to be bad enough to make TDS sufferers attempt to actually becoming informed and think for themselves.

If properly treated, suffers of TDS can make a full recovery. Many sufferers have been known to grow out of TDS, yet many can only be treated by having their condition directly treated through the application of logical reasoning. It is known that products containing mole can exacerbate the condition.

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a fairly new psychological problem. We started seeing it very shortly after Trump announced his candidacy in 2015.

It is a recognizable phenomenon characterized by several symptoms:

1.) An absolute adoration and blind trust of a cultivated personality. Symptoms include odd facial expressions, changes in behavior and wardrobe, sudden illegibility of social media feeds, the sudden belief that a bankrupt reality show host would make a good leader of the free world

2.) Incapacitating cognitive dissonance associated with anything related to Donald Trump. Symptoms include extraordinary mental discomfort related to contradictory beliefs i.e. “law enforcement cannot be questioned” “the FBI is evil” — “corporate media is all f**e news,” “Fox News is always right.”

3.) Inability to distinguish fact from fiction. Symptoms include believing a man who lies so regularly that more falsehoods escape his lips than t***h, especially when that man says someone else is lying.

4.) Loss of perspective on what patriotism means exactly. Symptoms include tolerance of un-American ideas, worship of unfriendly foreign states, respect or tolerance for ideological influences we have literally had to go to war with at various points in history.

5.) The belief that anything negative is in no way related to Donald Trump, but anything positive somehow is.

6.) Extreme levels of aggression and anger aimed at anyone unwilling to join the cult of personality

6.) Irrational thoughts potentially leading to criminal and terroristic behavior

Treatment involves intense immersion in a wider pool of information sources, reading of factual documents related to p**********l misdeeds, intense self-reflection, and whiskey.

Lots of whiskey. It helps. Especially after reality hits, trust me.

Telling federal employees that they can break the law, and if they get charged he will pardon them is way too far over the line, this i***t has no concept of what the rule of law is.

Pay attention to Mnuchin and the IRS releasing Trump's taxes, neither Trump or the white house counsel have any legal business weighing into any IRS activity, it is illegal.

woodguru

Do you have any concept of what the rule of law is Slatten? When federal courts strike down tactions as being unconstitutional, telling federal department heads to do the thing that courts are saying can't be done is violating the constitution. The right claims to be all about the law and constitution unless they don't agree with it. If Trump violates the law they think it's great.

Somewhat, as my Dad was an attorney. I also have decade's old friends who are both attorneys and judges.

Liberty Tree

You posted this before to try to do a clever turnaround but you failed that time and you have failed again. Everyone knows what real TDS is and you have a terrible case of it.

emarine

Trumps claim to fame came from his dads money allowing little Donald to rip off working people bullying them in court... tie it up long enough & the working man folds... Trump has mastered subverting the law...

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

No clever turnaround, L-T, as, simply put: Satire works both ways.

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a satirical psychological diagnosis used to explain the hysterical reaction and belligerent behavior of people, directed towards anything related to President Donald Trump, as pertaining to his presidency. It isn't intended to be a logical argument, rather a jab at other individual's excessive emotional reactions as well as aggressive physical displays. It is an ad hominem argument, not a strawman argument as suggested by definition.

So...what's good for the goose is likewise true for the gander, in that each definition is as real as the other. In other words, you are eaten up with a particular brand of TDS.

Rose42

TDS is bipartisan.

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

Yep.

You get it.

son of witless

Impeach him already. Go ahead, Please. Every time Trump takes a crap you guys threaten Impeachment. Just go ahead and do it. You have the v**es in the House. Go for it.

You guys must not have much faith in your candidates for the nomination of your party.

John King

Well, it is apparent that you also suffer from TDS . . . just not the way you have misappropriated the term! With a few alterations to what you shared, the following is the actual meaning of the term 'Trump Derangement Syndrome':

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their hatred of Donald Trump, to the point they will abandon all logic and reason.

Symptoms for this condition can be very diverse, ranging from calling Trump a r****t or xenophobe with outbursts of screams or crying leading to a complete disconnection from reality. Some reported cases reveal simpleton acts like putting fingers in ears while saying, "...blah, blah, blah..." in an infantile attempt at stifling the free speech of those they deem intolerable . . . which is odd for a group of people that place themselves so highly about being tolerant! TDS can also often result in the sufferer exhibiting violent, homicidal, or even genocidal desires, particularly against any that dares to offend in word or deed by taking a stance opposite of theirs.

Paranoia is also a common symptom of TDS. Sufferers have been known to believe that they are in some way being persecuted when their feelings get hurt by what others may say, and in some cases believe they are about to be a victim of an all-out-offensive act of h**e whenever they see a MAGA hat. The paranoia seems to be bad enough to make TDS sufferers attempt to actually misinform the public and think of themselves as always correct in the face of definitive t***h to the contrary.

If properly treated, suffers of TDS may make a full recovery. Many sufferers have been known to grow out of TDS, many may be treated directly through the application of logic, reason, and t***h. It is known that leaving them to go back into the previous circle of friends they were in before may also exacerbate the condition.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a fairly new psychological problem. We started seeing it very shortly after Trump was announced President Elect in 2016.

It is a recognizable phenomenon characterized by several symptoms:

1.) An absolute hatred and blinding blood-lust of Donald Trump. Symptoms include odd facial expressions, changes in behavior and wardrobe, sudden inability to form coherent speech patterns on social media, the sudden disbelief that a self-made billionaire who has made deals with countries around the world wouldn't make a good leader of the free world.

2.) Incapacitating cognitive dissonance associated with anything related to President Donald Trump. Symptoms include extraordinary mental discomfort related to contradictory beliefs i.e. “...we want sanctuary cities but Trump had better not send those immigrants crossing the borders to my city...” “...the FBI is good but all cops are r****ts pigs...” — “...corporate news media is always telling the t***h . . . except for that time in Baghdad . . . and that time in Vietnam . . . and that time when JFK was shot . . . and that time when...,” and obviously, “CNN and MSNBC is always right!”

3.) Inability to distinguish fact from fiction. Symptoms include believing a man who wears a MAGA hat is either trying to indoctrinate us all or is revealing how much they h**e the rest of America. Also, they seem to believe they have the RIGHT to snatch the hat right off the head of the wearer because their feelings are hurt!

4.) Loss of perspective on what patriotism means exactly. Symptoms include tolerance of socialist ideas when they have very close ties to c*******m, along with a virtual worship of i*****l a***ns (...which they call 'undocumented immigrants'...), disrespect or intolerance for ideological or religious influences we have literally had to go to war with at various points in history.

5.) The belief that anything positive is in no way related to Donald Trump, but anything negative somehow is.

6.) Extreme levels of aggression and anger aimed at anyone unwilling to join their cult of thinking or mental attitude of life.

7.) Irrational thoughts potentially leading to criminal and terrorist behavior, as seen in how Anti-fa, Black L***s M****r, and B.A.M.N. tend to raze a city in response to a perceived enemy like what happened in Berkley California when Ben Shapiro or Milo were invited to speak by the College Republicans.

Treatment involves immersion into a wider pool of information sources which they should have got in High School and is neglected even in our institutions of higher learning known as Colleges, reading of a full assortment of documents related to the evils of socialism, intense self-reflection, and open and friendly discussion between opposite ideals.

Thank you, John, for sharing other variations on the term, 'TDS.' But, as has already been noted, it has a bipartisan and ideologically diverse connotation.

Also noted...Trump derangement syndrome (TDS) is a satirical psychological diagnosis used to explain the hysterical reaction and belligerent behavior of people, directed towards anything related to President Donald Trump, as pertaining to his presidency. It isn't intended to be a logical argument, rather a jab at other individual's excessive emotional reactions as well as aggressive physical displays. It is an ad hominem argument, not a strawman argument as suggested by definition.

Include yourself among the many victims of TDS...from both sides.

BTW, John King, welcome to One Political Plaza (OPP).

John King

To be honest, the fact is there are those that suffer from this TDS! Although you point out your comment as "...a satirical psychological diagnosis...", it can be seen in fact as an actual undefined disease (...although I think I may have made a fair description...) . . . and more often seen in those that h**e President Trump.

One more relevant point; I sense that people didn't just v**e for the lesser of two evils in 2016, they v**ed for one because they h**ed the other . . . people v**ed for Trump not because they love Trump, but because they h**e Hillary. This also applies to those that v**ed for Hillary . . . not because they love her, but because they h**e Trump!
And sense T***p w*n, TDS stands out more so in those that still h**e Trump instead of those that still h**e Hillary. Sort of like having a sliver that you can't reach to get out!!! (...try dealing with that 4 to 8 years...)

Striving to keep it peaceful and intellectual here at One Political Plaza . . . but also "No Holds Bared!" . . . thanks for the welcome!
