Democratic money man Tom Steyer is constructing a panel of mental health officials and nuclear weapons experts to support his months-long campaign to impeach President Donald Trump. Steyer, a former hedge fund manager turned liberal activist, plans on cobbling together a group of experts Monday night to discuss Trump’s mental health and his nuclear ambitions. It’s part of his mission to oust Trump. He used various social media platforms in October 2017 to launch a “need to impeach” Trump movement. More than four million people have signed his petition so far, but House Democrats are not enamored with the move. House Minority Leader

No competent ´mental health official" would diagnose anyone with out a personal session with the individual. Would a competent doctor diagnose you over the phone? It is just as silly for someone to sit in a TV studio and make a diagnosis of someone without speaking with or meeting them in person. The are probably people who have had their license to practice revoked and it is the only way to make money.

this is what they had in mind for all of us, diagnosing mental illness or criminality or both for the case of disagreement with their stupid opinions. this is what hillary´s presidency would have been like, this treatment for all of us. observe how no one calls him on it. they wouldn´t have cared about us either. the bullet we dodged. look at it...

Unfortunately for Steyer, he has supplied more than enough proof that HE is the one who is an insane madman. And we don´t even need a panel of mental health experts to help us confirm that.

Hey Tom, there is an old axiom which states: “You spot it, you got it.”. In this case sir it is you who are the insane madman with demonstrated severe and extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome. Try saying the Serenity Prayer and doing what it says in your life. If it seems that since your arch enemy was elected, and your drinking of alcohol has increased, you might want to check into Betty Ford Center and begin rehab treatment for alcoholism. Because you are acting like a good old fashioned gutter trash alcoholic. There is a solution and I hope one day you figure it out.

The evil being perpetrated by the Left knows no bounds. For those so inclined, this lovely prayer may be appropriate: “Abba, Father, may President Donald J. Trump buckle the belt of truth tightly around his waist; put on righteousness as a breastplate; put preparedness to preach the gospel of peace on his feet, like shoes. Through thick and thin may he take faith as his shield for it extinguishes flaming arrows of the Evil One; take salvation as his helmet; and take the sword the Spirit gives--that is the Word of God.”(Ephesians 6:10-18) ~ Anonymous, Paraphrasing William Barclay Translation

I wish there was such a thing as a citizen´s audit or citizens investigation. Sort of like a citizens arrest. If the DOJ and the IRS aren´t going to comb through this freak´s records like they do for anyone democrat congressmen target, we the people ought to have that option. Oh and also anyone who helps him in his attempted coup.

The anti-Trump people just seem to be losing it. I read on Drudge that Omarosa is critical of Mike Pence. She indicates that Mike Pence thinks God says things to him and must view that as criteria for insanity. Clearly she is ignorant. I firmly believe that the Holy Spirit is part of our lives.

Four million in a country of 320 million? That´s if you believe all were US citizens.
Even if they are all truly US citizens, .0125% is a rounding error.
You could get four million to vote for invading Lake Superior.

The Left is entrenched in their philosophy. It defines them. They cannot consider that there is an alternative way to think about things.
Trump doesn´t only think and view things differently, he does it with gusto. Despite massive resistance, a good chunk of it illegal, he is being successful. He is also exposing and undermining their secret power structures embedded in the government. The most odious agencies in government are being cleaned out. The FBI, CIA, DOJ, EPA, IRS, State, Education, Treasury, Land Management, and others are being confined to their lawful roles and people who can´t follow the rules are fired or are leaving on their own accord.
He has also enlivened the economy, the one thing that almost every American pays attention to and that BO failed to get beyond second gear.
It has driven the Left insane. They believe they are the brightest kids in the class but they can´t seem to get things right. They along comes the class clown and happily blows them away.
It´s inconceivable.
He must have cheated so ... THEY can cheat. They can make stuff up and attack in any conceivable way. They HAVE to win. To lose to Trump would destroy their self images and their power structures.
Yet, they have 8 years of BO´s failures to show they don´t deserve another chance. Trump outwits them at every turn. He is moving so fast they have whiplash. He takes their tools, like a shutdown and DACA, and mocks them with it and beats them over the head with them.
They are scared and desperate for good reason. Steyer is a crazy clown. He thinks if he gets in enough people´s faces he can straighten them out. All they will see is a Leftist fanatic as Trump gets them jobs and bigger paychecks.

Despite all his money (big deal), Steyer must wake up every morning despondent because of all the successes during Trump´s first year. Note to Tom: We ´hired´ Donald Trump to do a job that was desperately needed. President Trump is fulfilling his promises to America. Live with it, Tom, and stop acting like a whining, petulant punk!

In 2015, the Association of American Medical Colleges revised the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) for the first time in nearly 25 years, stretching the full exam-day experience from around five hours to eight or more. The test drew attention at the time for its sheer length; less widely noted was the explicitly ideological bent of the new exam. (Snip) Unlike the American Medical Association, which represents physician groups without exercising much direct control over doctors, the AAMC has immediate and significant authority over its constituent medical schools and academic health centers.

President Trump blasted the United States’ birthright citizenship policy whereby the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens are given automatic American citizenship, noting that illegal aliens are “violating a border.” During a roundtable discussion in West Virginia, Trump slammed the birthright citizenship policy — illegal aliens’ children are commonly referred to as “anchor babies” — noting that fellow Western nations do not have such a policy. Trump said: If you have a baby on our land, congratulations. That baby is a United States citizen. We’re the only one. Now Mexico has very tough policies. They can do whatever they want, which is

Tragically, predictably, infuriatingly, we’re again mourning a shooting — this time at YouTube’s headquarters — even as the drive for gun safety legislation has stalled in Washington. Polls show that nine out of 10 Americans favor basic steps like universal background checks before gun purchases, but the exceptions are the president and a majority in Congress. Usually pundits toss out their own best arguments while ignoring the other side’s, but today I’m going to try something new and engage directly with the arguments made by gun advocates: You liberals are in a panic over guns, but look at the numbers.
