1. Yes!

[First Speaker]

2. Boy--Trump just keeps appointing the Best People, doesn't he...?

[denbot]

3. F-Off!

K&R

[bronxiteforever]

8. +10000

[leftieNanner]

4. When you turn on the lights

The cockroaches scatter.

Thank you Rachel.

[madaboutharry]

5. Trumpism is a mental disorder.

The entire administration should resign for a mental health break.

[BKDem]

6. Small victories.

We need thousands of them.

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. Well, someone has a brain .....if he had a nervous breakdown.

I can't imagine the world he had to build to defend Trump.

[yonder]

9. That fine-tuned machine just lost another idle pulley.

The belts are starting to slap louder.

[Spazito]

14. LOL!

Perfect!

[dem4decades]

10. He'll go work for the campaign doing his damage.

[qazplm135]

11. now he will have plenty of time

to fight those shadows!

[TheRealNorth]

12. My guess is Jonesing for Civil War 2 doesn't sell well

with the white, suburban women that the GOP is trying to scare.

[spanone]

13. He seemed like a perfect match for this mal-administration

[EndlessWire]

15. What person does this??

Why would you resign a position and cite MENTAL HEALTH reasons for the departure?? Would *you* do that??

Why would you open the door to having your head examined by those watching what you do?

He must have been told something, by someone...oh well, we are living in an alternate universe, anyway...

[erronis]

23. Those are good questions - a bit existential, but

Do you have any hints on answers to these?

I'm reading an intimation about ulterior motives or something nefarious.

[not_the_one]

47. He has now put this whole concept out there. It doesn't matter that he is resigning.

Now the turd humpers are thinking about it in much realer terms than just some "out there" rightwing conspiracy.

It will now percolate, stew. I would imagine the hope would be that when the turd loses, bigly, this simmering will come to a boil, and action will be taken by the goons who WANT to believe it. All the turd has left to fall back on is FEAR.

Yet more Putin chaos.

[EndlessWire]

49. Well, I think

that Trump is crazy, and this guy has had enough. But, he doesn't have the guts to flip, so he is saying, in the only loyal-to-the-GOP way he can, that he has had enough of the chaos.

Also, he is jumping ship. But, you don't leave a job like this. This could be that he got fired, and this is his flying finger as he exits.

But, read this: https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2020/09/caputo-mental-health-has-definitely-failed/

This is the guy who was involved in the CDC report fixing, and the one who warned of post election violence by Trump. What better way to explain that stuff except to say that the guy is crazy?

Most people recognize when they are stressed, but some of this stuff is over the top, and very alarming.

But, gosh, I don't know! Anything Trump touches fails. That's what I have seen.

[Iggo]

27. Same reason you'd say you weren't drinking before you think you hit that deer.

Setting the stage ahead of the dropping of the other shoe.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

38. Maybe a future legal excuse for criminal behavior?

[GaYellowDawg]

16. That idiot shitstain should never have had a job with any kind of responsibility.

Good fucking riddance.

[BigmanPigman]

17. Now he is free to work for Putin again/still.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss (the old boss IS the new boss...in this case).

[rpannier]

18. Mental Health Break Down

[volstork]

42. Thanks

for fixing that.

[dhol82]

19. He definitely needs mental health support.

Sad.
Or, not.

[GoCubsGo]

20. Great news, but the damage is already done.

He already incited violence, and spewed conspiracies. At least he won't be doing any more of that, I guess.

[bucolic_frolic]

21. Upstaging Der Fuehrer on insanity will get you canned? /nt

[Stallion]

22. Luckily Obama Has a Plan for That

[thenelm1]

24. "shadows on the ceiling in my apartment, there alone, shadows are so long."

This whack job should have been confine to a padded room long ago. And to think he's in charge of public statements from the CDC? We are well and truly fucked -

[UTUSN]

25. When these freaks leave, fine, but they are representative of SHITLER, so

I'd just as soon they stay in place until he's *out* so that the full horror of him will be irrefutable, well it is irrefutable anyway.

[DrToast]

26. I thought that was a requirement to work for Trump

[NBachers]

28. Shuffle off to Buffalo, Capuko.

[bringthePaine]

29. bye-bye to another one of the "very best"🤣

[Grokenstein]

30. Just shocked that anyone wanking conspiro-nuttery on behalf of the Tangerine Menace

would actually admit that they're mentally ill---even to protect God Emperor Rampstumbler Bumbleshits, or as a bone-spurs-type excuse to abandon ship.

[LudwigPastorius]

31. Err...he wasn't wrapped too tight to begin with.

...as evidenced by his tweets before Trump hired him.

Well, I'm sure there's a nice, comfy job for him in the gewalt-right media somewhere.

[NoMoreRepugs]

32. Caputo is no less intelligent than ANY other

RUMP minion - what a collection of BatShit crazed loons.

[Pepsidog]

33. This fucker is all ways around scandals. I wish him nothing but misery and misfortune.

[SunSeeker]

34. Well him quitting will certainly help our mental health. His, not so much.

He appears to be irreparable.

[TeamPooka]

35. get his office ready at Trump campaign HQ

[ancianita]

36. First you've got to have mental health to begin with.

If he ever had it and lost it, his break will take years to find it.

[orleans]

37. great. he's probably gonna use that mental health break

to stock up on ammunition and take up arms.
(what a psycho!)

"The top communications official at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) accused career government scientists of plotting against President Trump and told Trump supporters to arm themselves ahead of the November presidential election.

[speaknow]

39. Anyone read his

Wiki page? He has Russian connections.
He worked for Yeltsin and Putin.

[SoonerPride]

40. He will be replaced by someone worse

There’s always someone worse in the wings

[shanti]

48. Sadly you are correct

Their time is short.

[Roland99]

41. was he seeing more shadows on the ceiling?

[NNadir]

43. Well, um, there's a lot of them who need to cite a "Mental Health Break."

It's the signature of the entire class of people in this administration.

[ailsagirl]

44. I like your title

[PCIntern]

45. Jesus. It makes the W Adminstration look like

The Enlightenment. I mean...REALLY!!!

[czarjak]

46. What kind of chickenshit hires that kind of chickenshit...

Chickenshits?

[struggle4progress]

50. More evidence of an American mental health crisis: Caputo
