Democrats Invoke 25th Amendment, Question Trump’s Mental Health
Breitbart ^ | 20 Feb 2017 | Adelle Nazarian

Posted on 02/20/2017 2:38:54 PM PST by detective

Democratic lawmakers are openly questioning President Donald Trump’s mental health, and a growing number of them are invoking the 25th Amendment as a springboard to introduce legislation that would allow former presidents and vice presidents to determine if Trump is mentally unfit for office.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), and Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) are among several of these Democrats, according to The Hill. Franken reportedly said “a few” Republican colleagues have expressed concerns to him about Trump’s mental health, and Lieu plans to introduce legislation that would require the presence of a psychiatrist or psychologist in the White House.

At the very least, they are guilty of sedition. Trump is far more competent than his accusers, maybe there should be required drug testing for all members of congress as well as federal employees. Scheduled, as well as random.

Who needs to be evaluated?

Okay...

So let me see if I have this right.

The Democrat Party (and don’t kid yourself they don’t buy into this) want to lead a nation that:

Has a Declaration of Independence mentioning a God they don’t believe in, and His given rights to mankind which therefore have no basis for existing
Has a Constitution they demonize
Has Founding Fathers they demonize
Has a Flag they demonize
Has a Race of people they hold contempt for
Has a Language that has now been deemed racist also
Has a method of foreign nationals joining our nation, that they simply cannot abide by
Has documents that say all men should be treated equal, but they can’t live up to that either now since Whites have privilege
Has a structure of government answerable to the people, but since they can’t get elected, want Judges that don’t answer to the people to over-reach their role in it

Can’t you just feel the love oozing out from these folks to our nation? Me either!

Move to a nation that has all the things you want Democrats. Who’s stopping you?

Who needs to be evaluated? Do these folks know what nation they are in? Can they name one better, more prosperous, attempting to be extremely fair across the board?

Make an appointment folks!

We need a shrink for the Senate, that’s for sure.

If we did drug and alcohol tests on ALL of these idiots the results would probably be enough to get rid of 80% of them.

Democrats can’t invoke anything. The VP and most of the Cabinet need to do it. Twice. Then congress has to do it. So, don’t expect any of that. And the democrats would not be kinder to Pence, they would start it all over again.

Listen people, our President is under attack every day from GOPe, Democrats, Traitors in the government bureaucracy, Wall Street, Hollywood, and Globalist organizations such as the ones funded by George Soros.

I am thinking that everyone needs to set up a basic e-mail to their Congress Critters be they Dem or Republican that gives the message - we are behind our President, get on board or else. Send it every day, and get all your friends and neighbors to do so.

Once it’s set up, it’ll only take 3 minutes to do. Either that or call their office every day.

Democrats have Maxine Waters saying Putin envaded Russia, and Nancy Pelosi saying talking about not getting along with Bush, and then they want to act like they are playing with a full deck?

They need to know that the people are not going to put up with this nonsense.

By the way, I’ve read that twitter is adjusting his twitter feed so that the negative responses are what is going on top and any positives get blocked/shuffled to the bottom. Anyone know if this is true?

These are the same people which say men are women, when they are not. Homosexuals can marry under equality, but polygamy is not allowed.
Bring in third world immigrants with no vetting , and then say if we ban coming here them we are less safe.
Say Gitmo is a recruiting tool AFTER 9/11.
Their leader thinks Bush is still president!
Support women wearing vagina costumes and hats while holding signs saying women should have respect.

So, where do they have votes in the House to impeach, much less the votes in the Senate to convict?

And, BTW, impeach Trump and they get Pence.

It’s definitely a pile on. Critical nasty references are pushed to the top. Attaboy’s are ignored or pushed down. Twitter sucks more and more these days.

If one is going to question the mental health of an individual, having Al Franken bring the topic up is a serious tactical error.

The photos in Post $10 clearly show who the insane people are. I would love to see the accusation backfire in the bastards faces and find that THEY are the ones who have mental health issue. None of us need test results to confirm that THEY ARE over the wall “nutso”.

Soviet block favorite playbook ploy for dealing with dissident enemy, was to impugn mental function, then place under psychological restraint for treatment with a drug regimen.

Funny—here the dissident became the elected leader; and, the muted authoritarian state is revolting against impending reform. Who knew American press were Politburo members of good standing, supporting a shadow General Secretary in exile???
