Sarah Sanders: Americans who arent celebrating Trump are mentally unfit

By Matthew Chapman |
JANUARY 5, 2018
The White House press secretary wants you to know that Trump is not the one with mental issues — you are, if you don’t think he has made your life better.

Donald Trump and his allies are fiercely resisting the allegations in Michael Wolff’s explosive new book, “Fire and Fury,” that Trump lacks the basic mental competence for the day-to-day functions of the presidency — a question that even before the book’s release, was being hotly debated.

But White House attempts to beat back the allegations are not going well.
Appearing on Fox News to discuss the book’s charges of Trump’s unfitness, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders essentially resorted to the argument of “I know you are, but what am I?”

For Sanders to engage in pearl-clutching about the propriety of speculating on the president’s mental health based on concrete examples of erratic behavior — not to mention the concerns of Trump’s own family — and then turn around and impugn the mental health of people for politically disagreeing with Trump, is so self-servingly hypocritical as to be downright incoherent.

Trump is a historically unpopular president, and a majority of Americans neither voted for him nor approve of the job he’s doing. They also have deep concerns about how he got to the White House and what he’s doing there. That doesn’t make them “mentally unfit.”

My take:
Just fuck off Sarah Sanders, and take your boss with you!

and kill the child born as a result of the rape. and she will tell herself and others that's what God wanted.

she is the ideal woman for the ignorant white men who think they deserve more just for being white men.

designed to prevent the mentally ill and handicapped from interacting in society, and particularly preventing them from reproducing.

11. It's a distraction game

SHS says silly things and we waste time trying to refute her

Nothing will affect what SHS says -- and nobody can really tell whether she actually believes the nonsense she utters

Don't assume she cares whether what she says makes any sense

She's paid to say this stuff

Yes, it could reflect what actually occurs inside her head

Or yes, she and her bosses might just enjoy watching us become irate

But it's really nothing like that: it's just a deliberate distraction -- Look! Bright shiny thing! -- intended to deflect attention from much worse things they do

That's all that job is in this administration

She's there only as long as Baboozy thinks she's deflecting attention from him

After that she's gone and another tool slips briefly into the slot

piss me the fuck off, and I hate all of them! I want to see their entire Republican party crash and burn, but unfortunately, it might spread and take down this entire country. Republicans won't impeach him...but maybe if this country lasts so long, we might make it to the mid terms and get in Democrats, so to start the proceedings!

Lets all call it that from now on ... won't take long before that gets under Dotards skin, and he ends up firing it.

The more enemies he makes, the better the chances (mathematically) that someone ends up uttering a magical incantation that rids us of this scourge.

I know some other loser will take it's place, but ... I say it's worth a shot.

SHUT UP YOU SLOPPY CYCLOPS!!!

A narcissist does not have relationships, they don't like you or love you. To them, you are an appliance for their use at that moment. Nothing more. Click off, click on.She gives him an overdose of narcissistic supply daily, she's his special brand of heroin.

Tue Jan 9, 2018, 12:22 PM
Jan 2018

It is a well known phenomenon. These personalities are meeting their own toxic needs and they form a symbiotic relationship with the sociopath/narcissist.

These people:

1. Have a deficient sense of self and reality. They will allow themselves to be belittled and demeaned while adoring the abuser whom they consider superior.

2. Have a strong masochistic streak, become professional victims.

3. Give the sociopath/narcissist something quite vital: an adoring, fawning, submissive partner who will allow his sadistic acting out.

4. Totally deny their own self needs, and merge with the sociopath/narcissist, becoming an extension of him.

are "mentally unfit," does that also mean we're subject to government-imposed sterilization? (See Buck v. Bell. Not overturned.)
