Crazy Muslim fundamentalists
If a Muslim person did this on the Senate floor they'd be involuntarily committed.
Imagine the face you would have to have to do this. This is some Jackass level bullshit.
"My name is Johnny Knoxville, and this is the Regressive Congressman has a Psychotic Break on the Senate Floor bit."
Incredible face!
Are we sure this isn't the onion?
Nope, just current day GOP America.
Seriously, you can't make this shit up.
I certainly thought it had to be just some normal prayer or maybe a Latin chant, but no. Its all of them independently and incoherently muttering to their god while kneeling over the state seal. Separation of church and state is long dead it seems.
Man walks into a psychiatrist office. He tells the doctor he speaks in an unknown dialect to a “god”. Is this person committed to an ~~insane asylum?~~ psychiatric institution? Why or why not??
In the US, unless he's a real direct threat to themselves or someone else's safety, they would not be detained. People are allowed to be insane as long as they aren't imminently a real direct threat to anyone's safety.
What if they’re running around nude? Or screaming threatening profanities or making offensive gestures? Many other symptoms could accompany psychotic dillusions which would lead to being involuntarily committed
I agree that they should be hospitalized in that case, but more than likely, they would be arrested in the US.
Considering insane asylums don't exist anymore that would be a no. But yes, they should probably be prescribed a mandatory stay at a psychiatric facility.
So since insane asylum is not used anymore, you couldn’t go ahead fill it in with psychiatric facility? The pedantry never ends
They have different connotations. The words we use are important. We don't refer to people as "retarded" anymore either for a similar reason.
72 hour psych hold at minimum and definitely not allowed any government job
Certainly. It's a delusion.
Man, all this speaking in tongues talk lately is giving me PTSD. Next they'll be getting "drunk in the holy spirit". Every time they pulled this shit at church, I wished my mom would have chosen abortion instead
Sounds more entertaining than growing up Mormon, every week it’s the same wonderbread suburbanites talking about the small quiet warm feeling the Holy Spirit brings. At least the southern baptists know how to get everyone on their feet and dancing around.
Wasn't fun loving, southern Baptist. It was crazy ass non denominational, fire and brimstone, revolations, scaring kids about hell. Kenneth Copeland visits, and the like always went this route. Nothing entertaining about it. It was scary as fuck! And if I didn't act right, it was paddle board time when we got home
I cannot for the life of me understand the appeal of Copeland. The guy looks like a mix of a real life serial killer and "demon in human form" from movies, yet people still donate their whole paycheck to him so that he can buy private jets.
Damn, sorry you had to go through that. Each flavor of religion harms people in different ways, the Mormons are more about socially ostracizing non members and grooming children into the cult to keep the business growing. They’re also just as bad in effect if not scale as the Catholics for abusing kids, they just make the one on one time with the local bishop/used car dealer a normal thing so it seems ok.
Why can't people if they are going to practice religion do it in a dignified way? I do.
I thought that was musk
Just as ugly.
He looks like alcoholic Mr Potato Head was stung by a bee.
I thought it was elon musk at first lol.
That is an insult too alcoholic Mr. Potato Heads around the world.
Still speedrunning their way to Gilead, I see...
