"A group of medical experts who claim that President Trump's mental health makes him dangerous and unfit for office is seeking to testify during House impeachment proceedings.

"The group, comprising four psychiatrists, a clinical neuropsychologist, a neurologist, and an internist, are planning to announce their availability next week to members of Congress and the media. They'll also be available to consult privately with members of Congress, with 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, or with members of Trump's cabinet."

    When me dino was a reporter during the Seventies, I became quite familiar with shrinks at a certain mental health center.
    Let's just say there were some who pretty much sailed on what I could not describe as an even keel.
    The top doctor was the most eccentric one there.

    Yes, for sure.

    Another thought that comes to mind regarding these "volunteers" is like a scene from the "Body Snatchers" where this cadre has been infected and whenever a non-infected individual, like Trump, shows up they all freeze in unison, point at the individual, and start chanting "oooooooooooooooo..." until the victim can be infected into the herd or killed outright.

    This has been common practice in Communist countries, including the USSR and China. Frankly, any medical professional who would make a firm diagnosis of any kind on a person he or she has never even met, much less examined, ought to lose their medical license.

    And you are a degreed / licensed psychiatrist that has counseled and diagnosed the President I trust? I thought not. Just like to ones that want to testify. Political agendas keep popping up in these discussions for some reason.

    In my 20's several friends had nervous breakdowns. I asked my doctor to recommend a shrink for me. He was Chief of Internal Medicine of one of Houston's largest hospital chains. He went into a ranting rage and assured me he had no intention of referring me to 'one of those crazies'.

    Keep that thought in mind, next time you hear about someone who was psychologically evaluated as fit to raise children, own a gun, etc.

    I suspect President Trump is mentally ill and/or a heavy drug user (possibly alcohol). I do not see how we can have mental illness have any part in impeachment. It's too easily politicized. We need a less politicized system of holding presidents accountable. It would be wrong and dangerous to declare a president unfit and turn the job over to the VP on account of alleged mental illness. There is no guarantee US will continue as a democratic republic. It really could fall apart if we don't respect the law and elections.

    I recall reading something like this in Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" (could have been in I or II). That is, anyone having an anti Soviet thought must be mentally deranged and needed to be detained. Here we have Neo Communist psychiatrists who automatically think like a Soviet when confronted by a free wheeler like Trump.

    I, Dr. Dino Philosoraptor Allosaurus Esquire III with my 1974 Troy State University BS degree in psychiatry do hereby swear under oath that Donald Trump is mentally deranged and as dangerous to the Deep State as a raging bull in a china shop. He ain't called the Tangerine Tornado for nuttin'!

    Psychiatrists and neuropsychologists are about 90% Democrat and 10% Republican
