🔸️FITNESS FOR DUTY EVALUATIONS that are mandatory, like the military for high responsibility positions, would have stopped Trump before he got within a mile of the White House.
Bandy X Lee, Steven Hassan, and 100 other psychiatrists agree Trump has five dangerous mental pathologies as listed in the books "The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" and "The Psychology Of Trump Contagion - An Existential Threat to American Democracy and All Humankind".

🔸️Fitness for Duty Evaluations start with everyone who interacts with the individual in question, and when red flags start to appear, 'say something.'
The US Military has procedures to follow that require individuals in question to have a Fitness for Duty Evaluation. Voters must demand the House and Senate do the same.

🔸️Outside the military are professionals like Dr. Bandy X. Lee who has several dozen colleagues all of whom are highly qualified to do Fitness for Duty Evaluations.
The U.S. House and Senate have several mechanisms to enforce their rules, including:
* Leadership
* Committees
* Floor Procedures
* Party Discipline
It's important to note that these mechanisms are not always used consistently or effectively. The more voters demand mentally fit leaders the more the House and Senate will comply.
🔸️I like what forensic psychologist Dr. Bandy X. Lee says that fascism and authoritarianism are just dangerous mental pathologies that worm their way into politics.
Everyone on Earth deserves and demands leadership that is mentally fit.
Fitness for Duty Evaluations performed by well respected psychiatrists ensures every country has leaders who do not serve their own power, but serve their own people.
With a pool of mentally fit candidates, we then have all the elections we wish.
🔸️"Trump.. meets diagnostic criteria from the DSM-5 for five personality disorders! These are: 1) narcissistic; 2) antisocial; 3) psychopathic, which has more lack of remorse; 4) paranoid; and 5) grandiose and paranoid delusional disorders."
So, yes, both Biden and Harris would likely pass with flying colors any Fitness for Duty Evaluations

I agree. Humor seems to be the most effective way of informing and changing minds. I guess it relaxes the brain and lowers our natural defenses to being told something which contradicts our simulation of the world that we all have running inside our heads.
I deleted my Twitter account and moved to Bluesky. So far, so good. AI generated comments is a huge problem going forward for social media. Can no longer assume you are conversing with a human. You may be conversing with a server farm in Russia.
Eh, most people just want to lay some text or a picture down and agree with others.
I don't think most people are (I'm not at least) looking for debate or broadening horizons on social media. Drive-by disagreements just make me want to peace out anyways.
And I really HOPE that not too many people are looking for facts and data on X or Bluesky. If you ever see something, verify the heck out of it, or disregard it completely.

“…centrist Democrats often go wooing those who don’t support them, thereby betraying those who do."
Sir, this feels targeted. Good. Our leaders need to recognize where they fucked up. And then not do that again next time.
This is excellent, Jonathan. You rock.

Excellent commentary. Thank you.
“Ignore converts.” Don’t make the Cheneys your A-team players. They never showed up for practices.
Lot of Clashing arguments here. Joe Strummer is dead.

You gotta respect and listen everyone's beliefs and thoughts.
NO, YOU DONT.
That's what gets us in trouble.
You can acknowledge everyone's beliefs and thoughts.
And then reserve the right to say,
"That's fucking stupid, are you kidding me?"
Nope. And the trolls don’t understand how to engage in discourse. They just revert to ad hominem attacks. Fuck ‘em.
