Hey, no, that doesn’t smack of desperation at all, you guys. It’s totally fine and normal.

Eye-roll.







Campus Reform reports that Democrats from both the House and the Senate have gone to a new extreme in their never-ending IMPEACH HIM!!1!11! foamy-mouthed vendetta, asking psych professors to declare President Trump officially loony tunes.

Democrat leaders from both the House and Senate have reached out to psychology professors over the past several months seeking input on the state of President Trump’s mental health. In a continued effort to remove Trump from office, Democrats are now attempting to invoke the 25th Amendment by charging that he is mentally unfit for office. “It’s one thing from my non-professional, non-clinical standpoint [to] believe that someone does not have the capacity to do the job, it’s another thing to talk to experts and [those] who can deal with mental psychosis on a daily basis, so I wanted to hear from them,” Rep. Jackie Speier, a California Democrat, told BuzzFeed News.

Oh yeah, that’s totally reasonable. Here’s more.

Additionally, Bandy Lee, a Yale Psychology professor, claims to have been contacted by at least a handful of lawmakers from both the House and Senate for her assessment of Trump, though she wouldn’t reveal any names. The group with which Speier is consulting, called Duty to Warn, was founded by former Johns Hopkins Assistant Professor John Gartner with the help of Lee, and takes its name from a psychologist’s immunity from legal repercussions when disclosing information about a client who exhibits violent behavior. “[We] hope to be to the 25th Amendment what the NRA is to the [Second Amendment],” Gartner told BuzzFeed, though some have accused Gartner and his colleagues of violating the “Goldwater Rule,” which states that mental health professionals cannot diagnose a public figure if they have not personally examined them.

Gee, do you think? Do you think it’s irresponsible to try to clinically diagnose someone with a mental illness without ever examining or even speaking with them?

This is, like a lot of things these days, just plain sad.
