But I think you underestimate the antisemitic(sic)sentiment in this country that mostly has little cause to come out on a daily basis.
According to the totality of posts from Josh, the GOP hates Jews, are all white Christians, and are racist, to boot.
Nevertheless, the party has, at the ballot box, won over the halls of Congress, the White House, and holds a legislative majority in, roughly, 60% of the states.

Why did he keep checkingh out of the hospital?

http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2018/08/us/ice-detention-stewart-georgia/?utm_content=chapter_01

A nurse there petitioned a court to involuntarily commit Jimenez in October 2016 after he appeared anxious and depressed, admitted to being psychotic and stated he was hearing voices that were making him "so angry," according to records CNN obtained from the family attorney. A magistrate found Jimenez was "mentally ill and in need of treatment." He was committed for about a week, then released.

A few months later, he was committed once again – this time for nearly two weeks after his mother took him to a mental health crisis clinic. As soon as they arrived, he shouted he was going to kill himself.



Why wouldn't he? It is not as if he was likely to have been receiving treatment there. Have you never had somebody you cared about in a psych ward? Or did they just not tell you what it was like?

If his condition was at all as described, then his decision doesn't have to have been rational.

But how like you to focus on "why did he check himself out?" rather than "why did a prison that knew he was suicidal put him in isolation?"

They explained why

Nah, it just goes to show America refuses to atone for our original sin.

Obama was the last Republican President. I sort of miss that party, a little. The brainless fucks who took the name deserve the asswhooping they are going to get in November.

As to Red's reports of the demise of the Dems and the ascendency of the Repubs, I would suggest the Repubs in DC should probably rent and not buy.

Wasnt being treated?

BS

Like I said, Kiid - been in one of those places?

Had a loved one in one?

Otherwise, STFU, because you do not know what you are talking about.

I've been wrestling with the failures of these places to even begin to meet the needs of in patient patients off and on for years now, watching one after another do things like put the non-addicted person into mandatory group sessions for how to live with your addition while ignoring that she was suicidal; refusing to give a person their psychiatrist-prescribed meds because in their opnion, "nobody could be on those meds as long as you say you have," but refusing to confirm it with either doc or pharmacist; and a host of other reprehensible actions.

When you go into most places on Friday, there is no treatment to speak of on the weekend. None. Not even the anti-addiction meetings.

Where do you get your sense of what treatment looks like in our psychiatric hospitals?

No, they gave an excuse.

But they're authority figures who did what you want, so you just swallow their lines unquestioning of them.

I pray you never have cause to learn first hand what you are so ignorant of currently.

You would not like it, at all.

And no, obeying the law is not protection.

According to Josh, many people hate Jews, not just the Republicans.

According to Josh, the GOP is overwhelmngly white.

According to the ADL, ~14 percent of the population – approximately 34 million American adults – holds anti-Semitic beliefs.

According to the ADL, about half of Americans are familiar with the so-called “alt-right” and 62 percent consider this movement to be anti-Semitic.

According to Gallup, eighty-nine percent of Republicans nationwide in 2012 were non-Hispanic white.

According to the Public Religion Research Group, nearly 3-in-4 Republicans, 73 percent, identify as white Christians — and nearly half of them (~35%) identify as white evangelical Christians.

According to Pew, the GOP is 86% white, down from 94% twenty years ago.

Your party is racist, to boot, and nothing you have shown even touches that position, while article after legislation after court decision that I have linked to illustrates my point.

There are people who read this forum, but do not post.

I have no reason to believe Red is capable of dealing with facts. The silent ones might be moved.

On top of their racism and their sexism/misogyny, there's their homophobia.

So many kinds of bigotry to practice and so little time! Whatever will your little GOP friends do?!

Your bigotry is belied by the Research you ignore.

In Pew Research Center surveys conducted in 2017, 37% of registered voters identified as independents, 33% as democrats and 26% as Republicans

How is it that the minority (GOP) has the MAJORITY of legislative power at the Federal and State levels?
But keep tilting at windmills Josh. Don’t give up turning over rocks to look for racists, Jew haters, Christians, misogynists, and other assorted deplorables.

How did that strategy work for Hillary?
