DERANGEMENT SYNDROMES
Thanks to Charles Krauthammer everyone has developed at least several derangement syndromes. What started out as B(ush)DS has over the last score or more of years morphed into a veritable Heinz of varieties with Cream of Snotty Weeds becoming what they all taste like. We must, however pay homage to Charles for having coined the term and damn him at the same time as his ‘syndrome’ has morphed into more infectious manifestations than a Covid virus. T(rump)DS may be the latest but it will not be the last; B(iden)DS is now the unstrained strain-du-jour reaching for the ladle.
That all of what Charles has inadvertently given us has devolved into P(oster)DS comes as no surprise, even a leader of one is now armed via the media of none-and-all to fill his/her wheelbarrow with the syndrome derangement challenged.
Elon Musk certainly is aware of this … he is also aware that you won’t complain if his condensed version of Snotty Weeds soup is whisked together with room temperature water. Make no mistake, show up on his forum, if he acquires one, as a lump of M(usk)DS and you will be boiled/weeded out … just like his employees who dare to be free.
Pandora’s Box became Krauthammer’s Box and Elon wants to turn it into Musk’s Box. The denizens of the box never change with H(ope )DS always being the jabberwocky prize lurking at the bottom waiting to choke you along with a musky taste.
Bon appétit!

I'd like to know when everyone became shrinks. I think they need to post their degrees before declaring any psychological DX's.
I think I might have my SIL weigh in on all future DX's. At least he has the degree behind him.
I became one the day before I was born. It was an Immaculate Degree of Acidity.
Good question. At least Charles Krauthammer had such a background.
He graduated, with a Doctor of Medicine, from Harvard Medical School in 1975 and went on to complete a residency in psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1984, became board-certified in psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
I would not have mentioned him had he not.
LOL, perfect.
The "derangement syndrome" phrase has outlived its usefulness, because it is no longer applied logically. There is no such thing as Trump Derangement Syndrome , because the phrase implies that people are being unfairly or excessively critical of Donald Trump , when it isnt possible to be unfairly or excessively critical of Donald Trump.
I'd like to see the use of the acronym TDS made a coc violation here, because it is almost always a symptom of trolling.
TDS is not an acronym ... so before making new rules ... ?
Talk about nitpicking .
It's part of proofreading and subsequent editing. Want to get published in an A Journal find a nitpicker.
No, it refers to those that have Trump on their mind 24/7, and brings him up in every article, no matter if it is about Trump or not, and posts thousands of articles about him, zero with any proof..
Til TODAY Trump is insisting the election was stolen from him. He hasnt even shown a fragment of proof. He refuses to leave the national stage and in effect he controls the Republican Party. He is daily news as much or more than anyone else in the news today is. It is not our fault if you dont understand that.
You wouldnt recognize "proof' if it fell on your head from inside a piano.
You made my point...
Thanks!!
funny, I thought tds referred to the morons that think a white collar criminal that couldn't win the popular vote, twice, claimed the election was rigged, twice, instigated an insurrection, obstructed the investigation, and still can't bring himself to admit he lost over a year ago, should run for president again. yeah, I left out a lot and every one of his supporters knows what I think tds stands for, while they kneel before their hero...
You both seem to have made my point ...
Now who to thank, Skinner? Pavlov? The Box?
Nope...wrong
Again
BTW...I think someone is calling you on your safe space, HD
No, not really. I have no "derangements". I do not worship any human being, nor am I obsessed with any human, especially to try and prove a point always debunked.
If you think Trump Derangement Syndrome exists, you dont have a point.
Who is this 'we' that you presume to speak for?
I take it compromise is a bad word where you come from.
What was inside a piano in Casablanca?
LOL. Anyone who has Trump on their mind 24/7 belongs in a straight jacket in an institution.
Get Out of Jail Free papers for the unusual suspects?
Similar idea, but no cigar. I don't think you're a classic movie buff.
You think wrongly, I grew up watching CBC air all of the classics after the 11pm news.
Then I'm sorry you never tried one of my movie quizzes. Did you ever look at them?
I'm not a fan of quizzes.
No surprise. Only around 15 members enjoyed the challenge as a distraction from the usual fare here.
No, it refers to those that have Trump on their mind 24/7
There is nobody on earth who wants Donald Trump to be on everyone’s mind more than Donald Trump.
Hear this, JR?
I'm not JR.
They are easily identified by the amount of Trump related seeds here on NT. In most cases these seeds are the "smoking gun" or "Trump's going down" style articles with very little to back them up outside of propaganda. Some of them don't really seed any of the aforementioned articles but will jump into the comments sections with the normal "but TRRUUUMMMMPPPP" type comments to try to derail a conversation or deflect to something completely unrelated as to not make somebody else look any worse than they actually are.
Friendly advice.
Stop suffering from it, then,

Aw, give the poor guy a break. I'll bet that at least he doesn't believe in Israeli Space Lasers.
Trump has Trump Derangement Syndrome. The fool is old, tired, and completely self-centered on stirring up troubles for everybody and everything he touches! Let Trump collaborators come to his brand protection all they wish. I see that old, tired, self-centered foolish man, Donald Trump, for who he is in his public-facing persona.
"My ideas are just better." (Edith Ann aka Lily Tomlin from Laugh In)
Well, I am just generally deranged...
... an excellent condition with which to wile away the days.
