The Palmer Report on Trump:

An excerpt from this very well-written essay:

So in addition to the numerous political arguments for why Trump isn’t fit for the job, based on everything from his extremism, to his lack of decency, to his election rigging, to his lifetime of financial crimes, to his obstruction of justice, we now have this more fundamental issue. Even if Trump had been doing a suitable job as president up to this point, his collapsing cognitive condition alone is enough to make the case for his removal by the 25th Amendment.

The whole piece is very worthwhile.

But that is how the article slanted it. As this creating a credibility problem for the left. It's more like alt-left aka: Not Left At All.

But the GOP helped alongwith the Russians rigging of the 2016 election cross board. This needs to come out soon with verification. The USA's democracy is on the line.

t-rump = dictatorship, the GOP needs to step up and defeat him with the Dems help.

Remember the investigator Fitzgerald that was going after Bush and all they got was that attorney?

But it is an amusing take on the corruption of thump.

6. Cognitively Challenged Leaders

do not seem to be a problem for GrOPers. Much of the GrOPer base isn't able to detect intellectual limitation in their leaders anyway. Remember that Nancy had to lead Reagan around by the hand for the last two years of his Presidency. Chief of Staff Don Regan was the man pulling the strings behind the curtain. As long as the President's handlers can prop the POTUS up for photo op signings of draconian bills, they are good with it. Hopefully General Kelly can get a grip on the helm so we can avoid complete disaster.
