they aren't playing with a full deck

When adults have mental issues, whether diagnosed, or gone undiagnosed, that lead them to act out erratically, or not like a logical, pragmatic individual.
Example: "they aren't playing with a full deck."

Damien: I ain’t going after nobody! They are fully grown adults. If they choose to go out that door, mad, or whatever, so be it.

Jimmie: Well, they may be fully grown adults, but…

Felicity: (Cutting her father, Jimmie, off). But they aren’t playing with a full deck.

Deck

A completely bland, abrasive person.

Just like a deck outside a home. Usually unvarnished, raw, pale, ugly, hard, abrasive, dull and bland.

So if you call someone a "deck", you are saying they're bland, abrasive, boring.
Henry is such a fucking irritating deck. Fuck him.
