I never knew this. I admire him, although I rarely agree with his views.

What's the problem with that? Just wondering, don't know much about him.

I actually "like" him and I like to "consider" his point of view. I think he is a very intelligent man. He is a "man" and he has an education in psychiatry, it doesn't make him god, but it is interesting to see what he has to say. And he doesn't "bash" people, he simply gives his point of view.

The offer to prescribe medications was a joke, he saw this election to be a stressful one, and he was right, it was.

He is one of the people I like to consider as "his take" on things. I think he might be either a conservative or maybe an independant, not sure.

I also like him because he remains "calm", not so emotional like other comentators.
I really try to stay away from "overly emotional" people when it comes to viewing political "drama". It is clear that msnbc news is "liberal" and Cnn leans democrat, and Fox leans "conservative" but has some opposing views that will debate the "conservative" opinions.

There is no real "independant" news channel, which is annoying, and my therapist agrees with me there. So I tend to go back and forth and try to stay away from the "over the top" emotional ones, I can't take Rush either. The PTSD just gets too triggered with "drama type people". I give myself Kudos for even watching any of it tbh. With the PTSD so bad I shut all of that out for a "while", I didn't need anything more to "rev me up" in addition to already struggling.

Thanks for this!

I didn't appreciate his flippant remark about his ability to provide drugs to anyone who might be upset over the election. As a nation, it looks incredibly weak that people would turn to the use of mind-altering medication simply because the "horse" they chose didn't win the race. He made anti-depression medication sound like "magic happy pills," and we all know it doesn't work that way.

yeah, it seems pretty stupid remark.

well, he might prescribe himself some "FOURMOREYEARS" pills now. Or "I wrote unipolar moment, but America declined as hyperpower, so I was wrong" pills.
