Discussion: Trump: 'We're Going To Have To Start Talking About Mental Institutions'

Could you please demonstrate for the gathered guests the right way to wear a white physical restraint? And… right this way the ambulance is waiting.

Yes, let’s get back to warehousing, electrocuting, and overmedicating people who need help, especially if they haven’t done anything wrong. The mentally ill are infinitely more likely to be the victims of violence, often when in “mental institutions” (why didn’t he just say “loony bins”?) than the perpetrators.

They were such fun places. May I interest anyone in a lobotomy? Electro-shock treatment, maybe? Be sure to take your meds.

You mean the same mental institutions that were closed by Saint Ronnie in the 1980’s to free up money for tax breaks?

Now that Traitor Donald wants to re-open mental institutions, I expect conservatives will all start blaming their closings on Clinton (Bill or Hillary, take your pick).

All of them, Katie.

Why blame the Clintons when he can blame the black man?

I think they’ve been shut down too long to blame Obama. But maybe you’re right, since I doubt Traitor Donald will remember (or ever knew) that fact.

Oh Donnie…why do you leave yourself OPEN like that?

Yes Mr. Trump, let’s do that. Let’s consider someone who can barely totter down the hallway at the WH from the Oval to the Residence who believes he could and would run inside a building during a mass shooting, even without a gun, and save everyone - doesn’t that seem removed from reality to a pathological degree? Indeed, Mr President, you need help.

OK, so now we have the “unalienable right” to liberty vs the 2nd Amendment. Dueling constitutional rights. Which will win? My money is on the 2nd Amendment. People are willing to do anything except give up their guns.

It won’t make a difference. The standard for locking up someone who hasn’t committed a crime has to be very, very high. This is why all the warnings about the Parkland shooter didn’t result in him getting any treatment. People make threats all the time, most of them idle. After all during the campaign, Trump has said things like, “I’ll beat the crap out of you,” while miming punching. He said “part of the problem is . . . no one want to hurt each other any more.” “In the good old days, this doesn’t happen because we used to treat them very, very rough.”

As long as we have the same high, high standards for depriving someone of the right to buy an assault weapon (aka low, low standards for getting a gun), we’re going to have guns in the hands of the mentally unstable, criminals and their abettors.

Oh yes, again. The Trumpster is really raking them up today. First he’s going to run into a live shooting incident unarmed because he’s Rambo and secondly, he’s opening a discussion on mental institutions because he belongs in one.

Also like the idea of naming his personal pilot as head of the Federal Aviation Association because . . .the man can fly a plane. Whoo-hoo. I’m guessing his second recommendation will be Ivanka because she just flew to South Korea and back without upchucking.

Make it stop, please.

The Orange Shitgibbon seems particularly insane today with his ridiculous babbling. Prediction: There is something in the wind about Kelly leaving the WH. For real. Its causing Donnie Doo Foo to become more unhinged, hence the insane gum flapping. Do you think he gives a rat’s ass about any issues? No way. Something is up with Kelly and hopefully it is his exit from the stage…

“…hopefully he gets help or whatever.”

Empathy, compassion, who gives a fuck.

Of course not, they will be run by the same honest, civic-minded patriots that run our private prison system…

I guess Kelly figures he needs to be off the leash at times - and the Republican governors seemed a safer audience than say, the SOTU.

Great Dog, irony really is dead. Rest in peace Walter Becker, you gave it your best shot.
