Political discussions about everything

No, all it says is that psychologists tend to lean Left and hate Trump.

More importantly, this line of attack is intellectually lazy.

One angle of attack on any enemy is pretend his rationality is at issue, and that was done many times by the Left with Nixon and other Republicans.

Remember when Reagan was deemed stupid for having gone to a non-Ivy college, but Carter was deemed bright for being a peanut farmer?

Remember when Adlai Stevenson, who flunked out of an Ivy law school, was deemed very bright while Gerald Ford, who graduated from an Ivy law school, was adjudged very dumb?

Do I think Chuck Schumer is dumb? No, he got a perfect score on his college boards which nobody here (me included) was able to do. I just disagree with Schumer's political outlook.

60000 liberals? What a voting block! Come on John, do you really think highly educated professionals would put their reputation on the line for political uses?

Snake, of course they would.

There is zero risk to anybody associated with the groves of academe by making a virtue signal.

Every survey of colleges reveals that about 95 percent of all professors are leftist in Weltbild.

My sister, who has a PhD in psych, says almost all of the people she works with loathe Trump and are totally biased against him.

It is unethical for any mental health professional to suggest they can diagnose a person they have never met.

Also, it is just fundamentally intellectually dishonest.

They need to add Trump Derangement Syndrome to DSM-5.

Bingo! A real mental health professional will laugh at anyone who pretends they can diagnose a person they've never met and ran a series of tests on. I have a strong hunch those 60000 "so called mental health professionals" is fabricated by the person who wrote the article.

What you pretend is that Trump's thousands of tweets, hundreds of interviews, decades of public behaviors on a national and international stage, and all his documented past history of behaviors toward his wives and mistresses and his children are less valuable than a few hours of interview in person with someone you know nothing about before those couple of hours.

johnforbes himself believes Trump is guilty obstructing justice, but johnny's own mental illness forces him to obsess over a dossier that has nothing to do with the investigation into obstruction. He is so obsessive/compulsive that he can't stop talking about the dossier even when the dossier is irrelevant to the topic at hand. He hopes beyond hope that if only people would agree that the dossier is "fake" (which has never been shown to be the case. Nothing in it has been disproved) it will magically negate Trump's obstruction and allow johnforbes to once again vote for Trump with a clear conscience.

I hate to tell you, johnny, but people like you who desperately try to live in denial against all their better judgment always reach a point of crisis and breakdown, but it will be too late to do anyone any good.

The fake dossier, pushed by Brennan to Reid, was at the heart of the Russia hoax.

It was fake, and the State Dept warned Weissman (Mueller's deputy, the guy who cried when Hillary didn't win) ten days BEFORE the start of the Russia investigation.

So Mueller's probe was corrupt at its start, and Mueller was conflicted because Trump refused to re-hire him as FBI head, and then Mueller hired 19 biased lawyers to run the mess.

^^^^^^^ Look at johnny desperately trying to distract from the fact that Trump obstructed justice.

johnforbes regularly pretends to care about the rule of law, but when the rule of law comes down hard on his partisan politics, he suddenly becomes quite 'flexible' in his values and he can only make endless excuses for his own guys breaking the law.

Clown, you didn't listen to the testimony.

Muller was NOT fired. He had two years and 35 million dollars to spend.

He was given full access, and exec privilege NOT declared.

There was no obstruction, either in the legal or lay sense that you mean.
