@izzythepush,
It would be like the super bowl being held and one player being throw out for spearing and Trump going down and telling ref put that player back in and hold a hearing six weeks later to see if he can be suspended for that offence. Do you know what would happen next? There would have been on a full-on riot.

I was at a racetrack one night before I started driving. The feature was called several laps short. The promoter's brother was leading. The crowd thought the promoter just called the race so his brother would win. An angry crowed formed and went to the official stand. The stand was a two-story affair placed on posts. They began shaking the stand, but they didn't tear it down, but they did come close.

Even monkeys demonstrate a sense of fairness in laboratory. When other monkeys are given good food like grapes and fruit and the other monkey is given plain food, he becomes angry and acts out. I guess many of us have what is known as a "playground sense of justice." When it is violated, we become angry and look for ways to act out.

@Zardoz,
I'm sorry I have no idea what spearing is.

I know next to nothing about American football.

What annoyed most people about the World Cup was the bloody hydration breaks.

People were upset about Trump's intervention but Belgium won so it didn't really matter anymore.

The following is a link to the story about why Infantino is being challenged.

@izzythepush,
Spearing is when you put your head down and run into the opposing player full force. It caused a lot of injuries.

In football you have a defensive team and an offensive team. One team is on field at a time, so they can hydrate when they are off the field.

I know very little about soccer it was not played when I was in college.

I am a long-distance runner and hydration very important. One of the women ran to point her kidneys quit others were hospitalized They would need to rotate players or use a device worn on your back that contained fluids that could be accessed at any time.

In one race this year around the fourth of July I overdid it and went into heat exhaustion it was 96% that evening I don't know how close I was to heat stroke. It was 20 minutes before they could get me on my feet. The players will have to be hydrated someway.

Emotions flare in the moment but soon fade away.

@Zardoz,
That would be perfectly fine in Rugby, although they don't wear all that protective equipment, no helmet etc.

@Zardoz,
The hydration breaks had nothing to do with football, and everything to do with advertising.

We never had it for any other World Cups.

Plenty of opportunities to hydrate during breaks in play.

@izzythepush,
The big difference between the two is that people have been trying to game the system since foofball was first codified.

That's what Trump was doing, and in the end it came to naught.

My own team, Southampton, were in the playoffs for promotion to the Premiership when it emerged we had been spying on opposition's training sessions.

We were kicked out of the playoffs and deducted four points, which was a bit unfair.

Changing the rules to include a hydration break for the benefit of advertisers is something else, and scandalous.

@izzythepush,
The criminal element always wants to gain control because of gambling. There are millions to be made if you can gain control of a few players. The criminals succeeded in fixing the world series years ago.

Trump is a criminal so it is no surprise that he would try to fix the game. That is the way Trump plays the game. I would not be surprised if Trump had not made other efforts to fix the game.

We had a super bowl team that deflated their footballs to make them easier to handle.

We had all sorts of spying things going on also.

Even in racing there are cheaters. One driver had more cubic inches than allowed. He won the race and he knew an inspection would get him disqualified. After he passed the checker flag, he held his foot down until he destroyed the motor. He won the race and years later bragged about it.

I just started a new book, "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 37 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President" The book takes on the "Goldwater Rule" made after Goldwater was defeated. The American Psychiatrist Association ruled that psychiatrists could not public criticize any political candidate without actually seeing the candidate in person. HIPPA laws would prohibit any disclosure after that. That would mean that the public would be denied the expert opinion.

How do you decide whether someone is mentally ill? There conduct in public. We had a man in our town who pulled his shopping cart into city hall and proceeded to wrap himself in the American flag. He served in Vietnam and was a tunnel rat. He was small and they would put him down in Vietnamese tunnels to flush out Vietnamese. I encountered him in the park one day; he saluted me and said, "who do you want me to kill Captain."

We did not need a psychiatrist to know that the best of him was left in Vietnam. people's action in public defines them better than all the time spent on a psychiatrist couch. We all have a very carefully edited narrative about ourselves that we would report to a mental health worker but put you in a stressful situation and the real you will come out.

Because every word and action of a president is carefully recorded his actions can be analyzed by professionals should they find him not only mentally ill but dangerous should they be muzzled by professional organization? Or should they be allowed to speak out? In military those who would be in command must pass a psychiatric examination a candidate for president should also have to pass that examination.

In the 60s the silver bridge collapsed it was at Christmas time and many people died. There were two other bridges like it in service. One pin failed and sent the whole bridge into river. Do you close the other bridges because the first fell or do you wait for experts to examine the other bridges before deciding to close them? It was months before the old bridge was reconstructed and the exact cause of failure was traced to a single pin. I would close the other bridges immediately. Trump is a bridge that is ready to collapse his actions over the reflecting pool show the president has no clothes.

I did not realize Trump was not the first president with a mental illness he is just has the most mental illnesses. Lynden Johnson was manic depressive which explains the Vietnam war and why a good portion of my generation died halfway around the world and others were cursed to wander the streets homeless for life. Would it be better that he be outed by psychiatrists a manic depressive or all those boys died?

Abraham Lincoln suffered from depression what part did that play in the Civil War?

Ronald Reagan was suffering from Alzheimer disease. Reagan is the one that tripled the national debt when it would have been paid off in the next decade. He set up the concept that borrowed money could be used to give tax cuts to the ungodly greedy. He raised social security taxes 5 times so the money could be borrowed to cut the ungodly greedy taxes. This philosophy resulted in borrowing $40 trillion to cut the taxes on the ungodly greedy.

Ulysses S. Grant was an alcoholic.

John Kennedy and Bill Clinton suffered from transient bouts of extreme present hedonism.

Trump has too many mental illnesses to be listed in this post.

Most of us will consult with an expert in the field before making a big decision. If you are on trial for murder most of us would hire an attorney. If you are designing a house, you would hire an architect. If you had mental illness, you would hire psychiatrist. Expert opinions are often worth their weight in gold. Yet the Goldwater Rule silenced the psychiatrist the very expert opinions we needed the most when someone can send all of our sons and daughters off to war. Nobody is required to listen to their opinion, but it needs to heard.

How did LBJ mental illness affect our involvement in Vietnam? In Vietnam 40,934 Americans were killed in action. A recent case of a person with manic depressive disease has been in the news she killed her three children and attempted to kill herself. Now imagine her in charge of the country and making daily life and death decisions over our children.

If we had won the Vietnam war what would we have won? Another dependent foreign country that taxpayers would have had to support and defend. When you go buy a car you have decide whether the price is worth it. In Vietnam the purchase price of the loss was 40,934 lives that was 40,934 families that buried their children in the prime of life. Should mental illness in a president be grounds for removal of a president? Absolutely but 25 Amendment is mired in the political system where all of the people Trump appointed would have to vote to remove him. An independent bipartition panel is needed to make the decision there is also a cost for doing nothing and it is in thousands of people in the prime of life.

It is the 1960s all over again we are perched on the verge of a major war with a mentally ill president calling the shots. The old idiot is playing the fool as Russia and China are flying more weapons and better weapons into Iraq just as they did in Vietnam in the 60s. It was a giant proving ground for new and improved weapons. The tackle dummies were our generation.

What will our fearless leader do? There is only one way to win the Iran War and that is an invasion. The cost in American lives will be more than Vietnam. Is it worth it? What will we purchase with those lives? Another third world country. Now this is where the mental illness of the president takes center stage. According to psychiatrists Trump has a narcists personality compounded with Alzheimer. A narcissists personality believes he is better than anyone else. This prevents him from taking council from experts in their field.

Remember who started this war. Trump bombed a country we were not at war with twice. We had a treaty with Iran that allowed to monitor their nuclear program, but Trump opted to walk away from the treaty and make war instead. No doubt military experts advised against war but since Trump is smarter than anyone else, he overruled them.

Trump has only two options now turn tail and run back to Washington and hope he can save some face in a peace treaty or invade Iran and sacrifice 40,000 American lives or more. A narcissist faced with a decision cannot lose face no matter if the cost is in human lives. You can be sure the invasion has already been planned. The question will be can the generals stop Trump.

How did Trump's mental illness create this mess. Trump saw himself as so much smarter that those people who negotiated the treaty. The woman's whose mental illness resulted in the death of her three children is small potatoes to the 18 Trump has killed with his mental illness so far. The question is how many mental illnesses can one man have and still be walking around.

We will dlve a little into Trumps metal problems. Trump is a bully and all you have do is see the way Trump deals both with enemies and allies. He automatically assumes he can just run over everybody. Trump's dad has been dead for years, but Trump has daddy issues. The psychologists believe that it stemmed being thrown out of the house. He was sent to military school, and his siblings were not One can only imagine what he did to get sent there.

Trump graduated from military school and yet refused to go to Vietnam. I remember the neighbor kid that was sent to military school you had to do something very bad because it cost your parents a fortune. It was a last resort when you could not control a boy. We all had to deal with bullies and that did not make them popular. If you stood up to bully, he would usually backdown and look for another victim. Think what Trump is trying to do to Cuba. He would starve the babies to death without a thought. Trump wants to give Cuba back to its rightful owners the mob. I bet plans for the new Mob Casinos in Cuba are already drawn now if they would just politely starve to death.

We need grass roots organization to counter the special interest groups. The trouble with special interest groups they vote based on a single issue such as guns or abortion. The Christian right wants control of the country. They want Christianity to become the official of religion of America. Many politicians openly pander to Christian right, and many others will not speak out. We look at countries in the Middle East that are ruled by religious groups and see how ignorant and backwards countries that are ruled by religious groups are but yet there are those who would gladly trade their freedom for religious control.

Trump gave a new time for when the Iran war would end. He now says it will end in two months right after the election. Trump says will not deal with him and are awaiting the elections results to see if they can deal with someone different. That allows Trump to pretend that there will be an end to the war right after you vote republican. To start with Trump has 2 more years he is not up for reelection so Iran will still have to deal with Trump after the election. The only possibility is that Trump might be impeached over starting a war that was not authorized by congress but that will take a long time. It is a typical Trump con job.

The price of gasoline set a new record today and is going through roof, so I purchased a Tesla. The price to charge it is $4.85 about what a tank of gas cost when I was first married. Of course, it can be charged at home for far less than that. If Trump drives the price of gasoline up to over ten dollars but I won't have to buy any of it.

Trump is trying to buy the election promising $5,000 to every American if the republicans win the election. Where would that $1.3 trillion dollars come from? Nobody knows but it would most likely be borrowed. Trump has already run the debt up to over $40 trillion and the idiots war is really running the debt up off the charts. Remember the $2,000 Trump was going to give you to offset the huge tariffs. The only promises Trump keeps are more and bigger tax cuts for the ungodly greedy. Trump is an expert in bankruptcy he has bankrupted nine businesses and he brings all that experience to the government.

How fortunate we elected the very man that God had selected for caretaker way back in 1946. Just find the blank and fill in Trump's name. Whatever speech was made you can just insert Trump's name. Make no mistake this election is a religious war no shots may be fired but it is still a war for the basic freedoms granted to us in the constitution. The Christian right believes that Trump is the second coming of Jesus Christ and the sad part is that Trump's malignant narcissism has convinced him they are right.

Conmen can convince many people of anything, but it is far easier to convince someone who is mentally ill of anything. When Trump saw the billboard proclaiming him the second coming of Jesus Trump he was convinced it was right, after all it was written down. The mentally ill are the very last to admit it. They live in world that is distorted.

Our brains work on the pleasure principal. When we do something, our brains reward us with endorphins a pleasant chemical wash. A drug addict is addicted to his own body chemistry the drugs trigger his own endorphins. Gambling provides the endorphins for gamblers. Trump get his endorphin high from cabinet meetings that always open with each cabinet openly praising Trump.

Everybody enjoys praise but malignant narcissist like Trump gets addicted to it like drug addicts get to drugs. Drug addicts spend their days looking for drugs while malignant narcissist have constant craving for praise. One thing we know it is easy to become addicted to chemicals, but it is hard to kick addiction. Most of us feel superior to drug addicts without realizing that we can become addicted to our own chemistry.

This election is the most important election in the last 50 years. We will vote for our freedom, or we will vote to be the slaves of the Christian right cults. We all marvel at the pyramids in Egypt. They were built by slave labor. The same can be said about these multi-million churches they were built by thousands of slaves working jobs and giving their money to the church. I always remember the priests coming to the house and wanting money for this project or the other.

They claim that it is a Christian nation, but it never was the constitution separated the church from the nation. If you vote for slavery, they will use the public schools to molests the minds of your children before their brains are complete. It is not so much as religion that drives them it is power over other people who are not in their cult. There are both democrats and republicans that are eating at the Christian right's table, out them vote them out of office. It is one thing to become a slave, but it is quite another volunteer to become the Christian right slave and include your family in the deal.

@izzythepush,
Herodotus, writing 2000 years after the pyramids were built and tagged "the father of lies" by his contemporaries, was responsible for that commonly held notion (along with the Hebrew bible) but the archaeological evidence disproving this long held belief was only uncovered a few decades ago.

@hightor,
The Pharoah was the living god, and the way the ordinary Egyptians could reach the Western Lands.

Their belief system meant in was in their interests to build the pyramids as their afterlives depended on it.

Terry Jones did a series on the ancients, and discussed a document showing one of the labourers on the pyramids was taking two days off to brew beer. Hardly a strict dsciplinary regime.
