Psychiatrist: Pelosi Can Subject Trump to 'Involuntary' Evaluation
Breitbart ^ | 12/27/19 | Nate Church

Posted on 12/28/2019 9:03:58 AM PST by Impala64ssa

Yale Medicine Professor of Psychiatry Bandy X. Lee claims that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has the “right to have [Trump] submit to an involuntary evaluation.” Professor Lee, of the Yale University School of Medicine, also serves as president of the World Mental Health Coalition.
She has been a longstanding and outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, providing “translations” of his communications on her Twitter feed. Lee was also an editor on The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President, and is part of a movement demanding that the Judiciary Committee bring a panel of mental health experts to join impeachment proceedings. “As a coworker, she has the right to have him submit to an involuntary evaluation, but she has not,” Lee told Salon. “Anyone can call 911 to report someone who seems dangerous, and family members are the most typical ones to do so. But so can coworkers, and even passersby on the street.” The law dictates who can determine right to treatment, or civil commitment, and in all 50 U.S. states this includes a psychiatrist,” she continued.

“The advantage of a coworker starting this process is that a court can mandate a mental capacity evaluation before the dangerous person returns to work.” Lee also believes that those surrounding Trump may be suffering from a “shared psychosis.” She said that “the severity by which others are affected is what induces me to believe that Trump is sometimes truly paranoid and delusional rather than merely lying.” “We have created one of the most dangerous periods by first delaying impeachment and allowing his false sense of impunity to swell and then proceeding,” Lee warned in the interview. “Impeachment is much needed as ‘limit setting,’ and the House speaker has done well to set limits on the Senate by delaying the articles.”

This is getting worse than the Soviet Union and its forced psychiatric “therapies” and its “re-education” camps.

Didn’t they used to send dissidents to “psychiatric hospitals” in the Soviet Union?

Bandy Lee is obviously profoundly unhappy, and tied up in knots with TDS.

Good.

Psychiatrists are the most screqed up demographic on the planet.

Half are both treating patients at the same time they are themselves seeing a shrink. And may be on meds themselves.

Did Levin call her out on her lies or just give her a pass like his buddy Hannity often does with his guests?

Didn't make it that far, turned it off at about 55 seconds.

You could hear the BS in her voice, ugh.

She is Korean... by way of the Little Odessa Brooklyn NYC neighborhood that the “expert” informer of the “whistleblower” Col Vindman is from. Little Odessa, Odessa as in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic of Old. A petri dish hiding place of ultra leftie libs and Communists. Brooklyn the best and the worst come from there— an old saying.

A North Korean cutout asset of the chi-coms-— placing bets on this, and especially as yet again 4 weeks back there was another Chinese national “sneaking in” to Mar-a-lago, and a known chi-com diplomat chased and picked up trespassing on the DEVGRU SEAL base in VA Beach, VA. 2 weeks ago. Chi-coms always putting out the meme— “it’s the russians” and vice versa.

I stand corrected. With the name “Lee,” I initially thought she might be Korean, but in the pic she looked more Chinese. (I have Korean relatives, and my eye doctor is Korean.)

Agents’ ethnicity does not matter and is immaterial . We have Caucasians here in this country in high government positions who are Chinese agents or who are highly compromised in their dealings.

One has to ask if this dunderhead is actually a REAL citizen or an anchor baby.

I would bet she’s an anchor baby and we should start deporting them.

I grew up a few wannabe badasses who saw a few too many Bruce Lee flicks and thought that made them black belts, only to learn the hard way that ain’t how it works

The we have thr right to demand Pelosi submit to such a test. She seems to be the incoherent one here.

You are most welcome. I agree, worth a listen. We need to know how these whackos think.
