Today, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) reiterates its continued and unwavering commitment to the ethical principle known as “The Goldwater Rule.” We at the APA call for an end to psychiatrists providing professional opinions in the media about public figures whom they have not examined, whether it be on cable news appearances, books, or in social media. Armchair psychiatry or the use of psychiatry as a political tool is the misuse of psychiatry and is unacceptable and unethical.
The ethical principle, in place since 1973, guides physician members of the APA to refrain from publicly issuing professional medical opinions about individuals that they have not personally evaluated in a professional setting or context. Doing otherwise undermines the credibility and integrity of the profession and the physician-patient relationship. Although APA’s ethical guidelines can only be enforced against APA members, we urge all psychiatrists, regardless of membership, to abide by this guidance in respect of our patients and our profession.
A proper psychiatric evaluation requires more than a review of television appearances, tweets, and public comments. sychiatrists are medical doctors; evaluating mental illness is no less thorough than diagnosing diabetes or heart disease. The standards in our profession require review of medical and psychiatric history and records and a complete examination of mental status. Often collateral information from family members or individuals who know the person well is included, with permission from the patient.Meanwhile, you have a handful of psychologists pushing back. Some are even suggesting that making random armchair psychiatric diagnosis regarding the President is their "duty" as "professionals".
APA is ready to make recommendations from among our 37,000 psychiatrist members, physicians who have the knowledge, training, expertise, discretion, and objectivity to perform a thorough and apolitical evaluation. Using psychiatry for political or self-aggrandizing purposes is stigmatizing for our patients and negatively impacts our profession.
Ultimately, it's just another example where a select few Trump haters are willing to damage the credibility of their entire field for their own personal vendettas of hate.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 238 of 238Obama prefers "shit show" to describe a country, press yawns
Following President Trump’s Thursday comments, it’s worth noting that former President Obama called the African country of Libya a “shit show” just two years ago.
The comments were recorded in an interview with The Atlantic. The wide-ranging interview was based on Obama’s foreign policy over his eight years in office. During one portion of the interview, Obama said described Libya as a “mess” to the interviewer but behind closed doors called the country a “shit show.”
I filed for divorce in 20001. We separated in 2006. Lydia wasn't comfortable being with a married man. But between 96 and 2000 U gad a lot of fun.I never cheated on my first wife
But I had a lot of fun with a 32 year old hottie. Even though she was married to a U.S.Mars;hall We are still in contact.
Even more disturbing is that Trump supports a change in the libel law and let him get the courts to exercise prior restraint on something like Fire and Fury. He would trash the first amendment because he's a coward.
When will I see the next "spam by the drunk>"?
At a March meeting with members of the Congressional Black Caucus, Trump asked the elected officials if they personally knew just one member of his incoming cabinet — Ben Carson — according to two people in the room.
Carson, the only black member of Trump's Cabinet, had never served in Congress and spent his career as a surgeon. Trump found that surprising that no one said they knew him, the attendees said.
During that same meeting, a member relayed to Trump that potential welfare cuts would harm her constituents, "not all of whom are black." The president replied: "Really? Then what are they?"
It's not going away.
White House aides were demoralized on Thursday night, watching the word “shithole” slink across the cable news chyrons.
In the wake of the administration’s tax reform coup, Fiat Chrysler had just announced it planned to spend more than $1 billion to move its assembly plant for the Ram truck from Mexico to Michigan. Walmart touted a round of bonuses and higher pay for its U.S. workers.
And the White House communications team had pre-planned a sit-down interview for the president with reporters from The Wall Street Journal on Thursday — an outlet they expected would focus on economic news and help drive the message of the day.
Instead, all of that was lost amid “shithole”-gate, after the president, frustrated that an immigration deal would include protections for people from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries, referred to those nations as “shithole countries” and expressed an interest in welcoming emigrants from Norway, instead.
“It’s very frustrating,” admitted one senior White House aide. “We keep going off the rails with this other stuff.”
The episode was just the latest example of the president pulling off a pivot — just not the one his aides had been hoping for. This was a week when the White House was simply trying to stabilize and put to bed a growing conversation about the president’s mental capabilities.
Instead, Trump’s “shithole” remark — one he half-heartedly tried to walk back on Twitter more than 12 hours after it was first reported by The Washington Post — replaced a national conversation about whether or not the president is mentally stable with a conversation about whether or not he is racist
What is the Dem plan to build a wall, end chin migration and make DACA Constitutional legal.
Those nations are shithole for 8 years as RRB, pointed out the Dems called them that and far worse.

Nunes charges 'abuse' of government surveillance by FBI and Justice officials
House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes told Republican colleagues in two closed-door meetings this week he has seen evidence that shows clear "abuse" of government surveillance programs by FBI and Justice Department officials, according to three sources familiar with the conversations, raising more questions about whether the controversial anti-Trump dossier was used by the Obama administration to authorize surveillance of advisers to President Trump.
The California Republican made his comments in private meetings with GOP colleagues as he tried to round up votes in favor of renewing a key section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, known as Section 702, which eventually passed in the House on Thursday.
Question: Can a former president be indicted for actions he did while he was in office.
Yes

Report: Trump lawyer brokered $130,000 payment to porn star
Associated Press JEFF HORWITZ,Associated Press 10 hours ago
President Donald Trump's personal lawyer brokered a $130,000 payment to a porn star to prevent her from publicly discussing an alleged sexual encounter with Trump, according to a report Friday
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's personal lawyer brokered a $130,000 payment to a porn actress to prevent her from publicly discussing an alleged sexual encounter with Trump, according to a report Friday in The Wall Street Journal.
Trump met Stephanie Clifford, whose goes by the name Stormy Daniels in films, at a golf event in 2006 — a year after Trump's marriage to his wife, Melania. According to the Journal's report, Clifford began talking with ABC News in the fall of 2016 for a story involving an alleged relationship with Trump, but reached a $130,000 deal a month before the election, which prevented her from going public.
Trump's longtime attorney Michael Cohen arranged for the payment through Clifford's lawyer, Keith Davidson, the Journal reported.
Clifford had also been in discussions with the online magazine Slate, The New York Times reported Friday. Jacob Weisberg, editor-in-chief of the Slate Group, told the Times that Clifford had told him she had an affair with Trump.
In a statement to the Journal, Cohen did not address his role in negotiating the supposed payment but said Trump denies any
Another fake story according to menstral cramps with a lot of legs.....LOLOLOL If he was such a prince as you allege, why does his name keep coming up in such salacious stories....could it be he really grabbed a lot of pussy because he was a star and rich?????? The constant denials are just that.
such relationship with Clifford. Clifford has previously denied an alleged relationship with Trump. Cohen also sent the Journal a statement — signed by "Stormy Daniels" — in which the actress denied receiving "hush money" from Trump.
On Friday afternoon, the White House issued a statement calling the Journal's story "old, recycled reports, which were published and strongly denied prior to the election."
Cohen also accused the Journal of perpetuating "a false narrative for over a year."
Just days before the 2016 election, the Journal published a story stating that the National Enquirer — run by David Pecker, a fervid supporter of Trump — had paid $150,000 to silence former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal about a sexual relationship she allegedly had with Trump a decade ago.
Dayum,,,,my NOC is up another 5 TDY another 4.....still have yet to touch any principal of my holdings.....LOL at you KD who cannot make the same statement.....IDIOT
Pravda defends the shit hole comments as normal for trump sycophants like rathole, CH, menstral cramps and my little ballz.....We should all be proud of our pussy grabbing, whore mongering worthless idiot in chief....

Fox News Defends Trump’s 'Shithole' Comments As Just The Way Normal People Talk
HuffPost Marina Fang,HuffPost 22 hours ago
WASHINGTON ― Most news networks reporting on President Donald Trump’s remarks about restricting immigrants from “shithole countries” notably didn’t shy away from using the vulgar word, and called the president’s insult what it was ― racist.
But over at Fox News, Trump’s network of choice, hosts and panelists were defending the president’s crude comments before shifting to other topics.
(Fox News) (Fox News)
After The Washington Post on Thursday afternoon first reported Trump’s remarks at a White House meeting with lawmakers, “The Five” co-host Jesse Watters shrugged off the slur as the way ordinary Americans talk about “Haiti people.”
“If it’s true, this is how the forgotten men and women in America talk at the bar,” Watters said. “This is how Trump relates to people. If you’re at a bar, and you’re from Wisconsin, and you’re thinking, ‘They’re bringing in a bunch of Haiti people, or El Salvadorians, or people from Niger.’ This is how some people talk.”

i certainly hope not, alky.
"shithole" has such a nice ring to it.
not only can it be used to describe places like haiti, most of sub-saharan africa and panama, it can also be used to describe american cities run by democrats like chicago, detroit, baltimore and philly.
btw, have you sprung the mail order bride from the medicaid wing of the hospital yet, alky?
FLASHBACK: That Time Obama Called Libya A ‘S**t Show’
Mess is the president’s diplomatic term; privately, he calls Libya a “shit show,” in part because it’s subsequently become an ISIS haven — one that he has already targeted with air strikes. It became a shit show, Obama believes, for reasons that had less to do with American incompetence than with the passivity of America’s allies and with the obdurate power of tribalism.
I think Obama has a perfect right to call any country a "shit show" or a "shithole" in private without being called a racist.
And so does Trump.
FLASHBACK: That Time Obama Called Libya A ‘S**t Show’
Flash back...the daily caller.....I am sure they have a witness like durban confirming their alleged shit hole comment....Dayum why not post something from Anthony Watts....LOLOLOLOLOL The only better source would be the asswipe nunes as the cite....

ROFLMFAO !!!
The only shit hole is in your empty head!!! With such compelling opinions cramps takes as facts idiot!!!!
