Trump Derangement Syndrome: Hollywood Star Admits Trump’s Election Made Her ‘Unhinged’

It’s not really news when a Hollywood star says that Donald Trump’s election made them become “unhinged.”

When that star says she went into therapy because of it, related Trump’s win to the death of her brother and says that it made her “pivot” away from alcohol toward marijuana, I think that takes “unhinged” to a new, newsworthy level.

It may not surprise you that Chelsea Handler is infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome, but from her appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” on Friday, you got the impression that she might be patient zero. The comedian was ostensibly appearing to promote her new book, “Life Will Be the Death of Me” — which, according to Maher, is about how the 2016 election gave her a serious knock and how she “came back stronger.”

That last part, it must be noted, should be left to the discretion of the home viewer.

““I had to pay a psychiatrist to listen to me b—- about Donald Trump for about the first three weeks,” Handler said.

“And then once when we got past that and got to the real stuff, I realized the parallel there was my world becoming unhinged when I was a little girl, my brother died when I was nine years old. I had never related the two, but for me, as I can imagine it must have been for so many people, it was an emotional trigger of everything being destabilized, and I realized how spoiled and privileged I had been all my life and realize to be this upset and this on-a-ten every day and the outrage and the anger, I just wanted to f—ing fight people, you know? And I was like, ‘I have to go see a psychiatrist.’”

I can tell you the one part of that statement that doesn’t sound outré, and that’s the last sentence. That I totally agree with.

Maher went on to diagnose Handler with “white guilt,” something she agreed with.

“I think you can also focus on becoming a better advocate-slash-ally for people from marginalized communities,” she said, adding that you should “look outside to others.”

Warning: Video contains profanity. 

Trump, she said, also “led” her away from drinking and toward the “gateway drug to meditation,” marijuana.

“What I discovered is that alcohol and outrage are not a good mix, it’s like a hat on a hat,” Handler said. “So, I pivoted towards weed and cannabis.”

But happily, she’s not too outraged about Joe Biden or his touchy-feely nature.

“I think Joe Biden is just a grandfather, you know what I mean? And he’s old,” Handler said. “I don’t like comparing — I don’t like these stories of these women coming out and talking about a man smelling their hair or kissing the back of their head.”

However, she said that taking it too seriously “diminishes people who have actually experienced bulls—.”

As you can see, there’s really only one brand of politician that could make her angry because of his or her actions — which means it’s not the politician’s actions to begin with. Trump Derangement Syndrome is an opportunistic disease, infecting already susceptible populations.

If a politician makes you feel this bad about yourself and your lot in life, you’re the problem.

Trump didn’t remind you about your dead brother. He didn’t get you to smoke marijuana in place of problem drinking. He didn’t destabilize or unhinge you. He did none of these things. You did them to yourself.

On the other hand, if you can get a book out of this whole ridiculousness and actually get people to buy it, maybe you can make TDS pay off for you. Everyone loves a good sickness memoir, after all. There’s capitalism at work, from the same people who don’t seem fond of it right now.

New Democratic talking point: Did you hear that Trump called asylum-seekers “animals”?

It’s amazing how many big-name Dems and media types leaped at the blithe assertion in the tweet below. Alex Griswold of the Free Beacon is keeping a running tally. Among others, there’s DNC chair Tom Perez, Kirsten Gillibrand, Ben Rhodes, even New York Times reporters whose profession ostensibly involves fact-checking things. Watch:

If that clip seems familiar, there’s a reason: It’s almost a year old. And Trump wasn’t referring to asylum-seekers as “animals.” He was answering a question posed to him by a sheriff specifically about MS-13, as some news outlets forthrightly noted at the time. It goes to show how short political attention spans are in 2019 that none of the lefties harrumphing over this clip remembered Trump’s comments from last year, since there were days of “controversy” over it then too. The media naturally did its best to distort what he said but Trump clarified that it was in fact MS-13, not everyone seeking entry into the U.S., whom he was describing. Pelosi was reduced to grumbling that even degenerate gang members have the spark of divinity in them, but the public took Trump’s side in the dispute. The RNC even got some attack ad footage out of the mess, as you’ll see below.

Am I giving them too much credit in assuming that they forgot all of this? It’s not a memory problem, it’s a bad-faith attack in the cynical belief that only one percent of the people who retweeted Elliott’s tweet will ever encounter the truth, right? Our politics is trash.

Are Democrats Pushing Sharia Law?

A fan thought I exaggerated when I wrote that Sharia law will spread like wildfire across America if Democrats win the White House. She feared my over-the-top statement about the spread of Islam will damage my credibility.

My statement is not an exaggeration. For crying out loud, the federal government illegally funded a national curriculum titled “Access Islam.” This indoctrination program outrageously teaches students how to become Muslim — how to pray as a Muslim, how to perform Islamic “daily worship,” and how to perform the “core duties” of being a Muslim.

A California school banned all Christian-based books from its library, including books by Christian authors. Superintendent Dr. Kathleen Hermsmeyer says they do not allow “sectarian materials” on their state-authorized lending shelves. Public schools are celebrating Islam while banning Christmas.

Public education is the battlefield of the culture war. Democrats use public schools to normalize the LGBTQ agenda in the hearts and minds of our kids. Upon infiltrating public schools, LGBTQ activists began molding and shaping students into their image beginning in pre-k.

Democrats continue to up the ante by expanding deviancy. Students are being indoctrinated to embrace numerous dangerous sexual perversions under the umbrella of “healthy sex education” — BDSM, rimming, anal sex, asphyxiation, gender-bending and more.

Beginning with portraying pedophiles as victims of our closed-minded society, Democrats are pushing to legalize pedophilia along with 11 other perversions. Civil unions granted homosexuals the same benefits as marriage. And yet, Democrats chose to use activist judges to destroy God’s sacred union of marriage. This is a long way down the road from LGBTQ activists claiming they simply wanted tolerance. Today, many Americans quake in fear opposing any demand of LGBTQ activists. Democrats want government to mandate that Christians throw away their Bibles to fully embrace Democrats’ anything-goes-sexually society.

Now Democrats are using government mandates to instill Islam in public schools while rooting out Christianity. Remember Democrat AG Loretta Lynch’s threat to jail anyone caught speaking badly of Islam? Lynch’s boss, Obama, was the most pro-Islam and anti-Christian president in U.S. history.

Democrats use blacks, women, homosexuals, and Muslims as useful idiots to further their extreme radical leftist agenda. For example. Democrats and fake news said that opposing Obama’s punish-America policies was racist. Had Hillary won, opposing her leftist agenda would be branded sexist. If homosexual Democrat presidential candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg wins the WH, opposing his extreme radical leftist ideas will be branded homophobia. If one of the anti-Semitic Democrats win the presidency, opposing their hate-Israel rants will be branded Islamophobic. This tactic is called “shaming.” Democrats and fake news routinely use shaming to silence all opposition, while forcing their anti-American and anti-Christian agendas down our throats.

Judge Jeanine Pirro’s TV show was taken off the air for two weeks for daring to tell the truth about Muslim Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s rabid anti-Semitism. Rather than strongly rebuking Omar’s hatred for our ally, Israel, every Democratic presidential candidate decided to give Israel their middle finger by refusing to attend AIPAC.

Can you believe there are “Muslim Community Patrol” cars in Brooklyn, New York which look exactly like police cars? Disturbed residents are questioning why this is necessary because the NYPD is extremely diverse. These Muslim patrols are allowed to stealthily enforce Sharia law in their neighborhoods — no homosexuals, no women wearing short skirts and so on.

Respecting Islam, a California public school caved to Sharia law by forbidding students to draw images of Mohammed. And yet, Democrats defended the NEA funding “Piss Christ” which featured a crucifix submerged in urine.

My late dad was a Methodist pastor. Dad said that every year for decades LGBTQ activists brought ordaining homosexuals to the table at their annual conference. Due to the Bible’s clear rebuke, ordaining homosexuals was voted down. Then one year, it passed. We are seeing this same persistence tactic used to further Sharia law.

Thank God that Texas turned back the establishment of the first official Sharia court in America. But do not become complacent, folks. These people will never give up and will keep coming back at us.

Traditions, principles and values everyday Americans and Christians hold dear are under relentless attack by Democratic enemies within. As a Christian, I view the Democrats’ aggression as the Spirit of Anti-Christ. Jesus proclaiming himself our savior and Lord is as repulsive to leftists as is showing Dracula the cross. This is why even though Islam clearly hates homosexuals and suppresses women, Democrats overwhelmingly prefer Islam over Christianity. Democrats are banning Christianity in public school while quietly replacing it with Islam.

No, I do not believe Sharia law will overtake America. But if Democrats take the White House, Sharia Law will swiftly gain government-protected strongholds across America.

Senate Republicans Have Triggered the ‘Nuclear Option.’ They Were Completely Justified.

Most people
agree that our system of government depends on an informed, participating
citizenry. It can be hard enough to understand what Congress is doing, but it’s
even harder to grasp how Congress operates.  

And yet, rules
that govern how things get done often determine what those things end up being.
As such, it’s very important that Americans understand how the Senate majority
just changed—and hopefully, improved—the process for debating the president’s
nominations.

Senate
Republicans on Wednesday, in a pair of 51-48 votes almost entirely along party
lines, revised one part of that process. The move will expedite the
confirmation process for President Donald Trump’s district court nominees and
sub-Cabinet posts at federal departments and agencies.

The
Constitution doesn’t say much about this process, only that the president needs
the Senate’s “advice and consent” before he can appoint someone he has
nominated.

Then the
Constitution gives the Senate authority to establish “the rules of its
proceedings.” In other words, the Constitution assigns this role to the Senate,
but without telling the Senate how to do it.

The process of the Senate evaluating nominees and deciding whether to give its consent is often called the confirmation process, and it operated pretty smoothly for nearly two centuries.

But as the
federal government grew in size and power, the appointment of those who lead it
has become more important and, therefore, more contentious.

Though
designed to be the weakest branch, the judiciary has in recent decades become
the strongest. Its power to determine what our laws mean is magnified because
judges do not have limited terms. Once they are appointed, they serve until
they decide to leave, an average of nearly 25 years.

As a result,
the judicial-confirmation process has become particularly difficult. Until the past
couple of decades, 96 percent of federal judges were confirmed without even a
roll call, or recorded, vote, and 97 percent had no opposition at all.

Those days
are gone.

Trump is
making significantly more judicial nominations—and the Senate Judiciary
Committee is holding a hearing for far more of them—than under the previous
five presidents.

Final
confirmations by the full Senate, however, are off the pace. The cause is an organized
campaign, utilizing several specific tactics, by Democrats and their liberal
allies to make the rest of the process as slow and cumbersome as possible.

Senate
Republicans have now neutralized one of those tactics.

Senate Rule
22 provides for a process to invoke cloture, or end debate, which is necessary
before the Senate can vote on confirmation.

Even when
the Senate votes to bring debate to a close, however, Rule 22 allowed up to 30
more hours of debate.

Democrats had
abused that part of the Rule 22 process. First, they refused to shorten that
30-hour period of debate even for nominations they didn’t intend to oppose.
Second, they almost never actually went to the Senate floor and debated the nomination
being considered.

That was
just empty time, with the clock ticking for no purpose other than delaying the
inevitable. Nominations that would have been confirmed in a few hours took
several days.

On Tuesday, Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell gave Democrats a final opportunity to dial back
such obstruction. The Kentucky Republican brought up a resolution to shorten post-cloture
debate for most nominations with limits very similar to those the Senate voted
78-16 to adopt for the 113th Congress (2013-14).

Democrats
supported those limits when they ran the Senate under President Barack Obama, but
filibustered them now that they are the minority under Trump.

On Wednesday,
McConnell achieved the same reform in a different way. He proposed lower limits
on post-cloture debate, not in the form of a written resolution, but as a
“point of order,” or a question of procedure that required an answer from the
Senate’s presiding officer.

The full
Senate then voted on whether to endorse the presiding officer’s decision.
McConnell used this approach because it could not be stopped by a filibuster
the way the resolution had been the day before.

Remember, that
is the very last step before a final confirmation vote. The Senate has already
voted, often overwhelmingly, that it wants to end debate. Making that final
period of available debate a little shorter is not, in the big scheme of
things, a significant step.

It can,
however, have a significant impact. When similar debate limits were in place in
2014, the Senate confirmed 89 judicial nominations, the second-highest annual
total in American history.

Even if
Democrats continue forcing the Senate to use the formal Rule 22 process to end
debate, the Senate will be able to do so for more nominees in a shorter period
of time.

Today, 142
positions across the federal judiciary are vacant, the highest number since
June 1991. Ninety percent of those vacancies are on the U.S. District Court,
the lowest level of the judiciary, where every case must begin.

No business
or organization could function properly if 17 percent of its workforce was absent,
yet that is the condition of the federal judiciary today.

The bottom
line is that the Senate’s process for considering nominations has become too
divisive and subject to abuse. The judiciary, and the American people who
depend on it, suffer as a result.

While controversies can arise about an individual nominee here or there, the process must be less cumbersome for the large majority, who should be easily confirmed.

Republicans have, in effect, opened one of the gates that have kept the process backed up. They need to seize this opportunity so that the government that Americans elected in 2016 can function as it should.
