In today's WSJ, fmr Gen. Wm McRaven writes that #Trump fails every single test of char. that military reveres & that he betrays Geo Washington's model of civility & discipline that is the model of the American military. "Mr. Trump has no self-control. He lashes out at immigrants, religious groups, & military heroes. He lies w reckless abandon." He compares Trump to a "disturbed 15-yr-old boy." He says he won't be voting for Trump, adding "I think G Washington would agree."

Donald Trump’s cognitive decline becoming a troubling concern
Americans from both sides of the political spectrum should be alarmed by Trump’s words and behavior. The nation must confront the fact that beyond his hateful character, he is crippled cognitively ...Las Vegas Sun

Note, the reason LaCivita is running all stunts all the time is he realizes #Trump is having senior moments at about 40% of his events these days.
He's like a big stuffed toy for LaCivita to play with these days. Dress him up. Put him on a prop. Call it a campaign.
Ka-ching!

This is a very revealing and important response 👇 it's fine if Elon #Musk has regular discussions with Putin because Elon is Trump's "genius" and he needs to be taken care of
REPORTER: Did you know that Elon Musk was in communication was in Putin?
#TRUMP: No. Elon is a great guy. He's one of our genuses. We have to take care of our geniuses.

McGovern: I was the last person off the House floor on #Jan6. I took over for Speaker Pelosi, went into the Speaker’s Lobby, and saw this mad, deranged crowd smashing the glass, trying to get at us. 140 law enforcement officials were injured, and some died from their injuries. Staff were traumatized. If these people had gotten to us, they would have killed us. To call them hostages or political prisoners is grotesque. It shows that Donald #Trump is a sick, demented man.
Marc Anthony:
I’m here to tell you that even though some have forgotten … I remember.
I remember what it was like when Trump was president.
I remember what he did and said, about Puerto Rico…
About our people ...
I remember after Hurricane Maria devastated our island…
Trump blocked billions in relief … while thousands died.
I remember that when our families lacked clean water and electricity,
Trump threw paper towels and called Puerto Rico “dirty” and “poor.”

Fat chance, redux:
The Archbishop of San Juan is asking #Trump to personally apologize for the racist comments made during Trump's MSG debacle.
"It is not sufficient for your campaign to apologize," Archbishop Roberto Gonzalez writes. "It is important that you, personally, apologize for these comments."
The letter was posted in both English and Spanish.
I think we all knew this was happening—why else overpay by $25b?—but I guess confirmation is good.

"Both #Trump and #Harris are ridiculous candidates, ..."
Due to past exchanges,
I've really been (overly) patient with you. However, with that sentence, you've clearly outed yourself as a *Russian troll*, actively engaging in information warfare on behalf of the fascist #WarCriminal in the #Kremlin trying to undermine democracy, in particular in the #US.
You're *blocked*!

@democratsabroad
Both #Trump and #Harris are ridiculous candidates, and the parties need to be held accountable for that.
I can't help but keep thinking about how Harris has been openly talking about ignoring Congress, ignoring the law, ignoring the democratic process, to implement her preferences while claiming that Trump is the authoritarian even as he is also being bashed for promising to give up power, promising to relinquish power away from the federal government to the states.
This is the level of nonsense we have in #USPolitics these days. It's absolutely #Orwellian.
And beside all of that, this platform seems really eager to promote those propagandistic messages.
"Even if [a Harris presidency] isn’t far better, I still think it will be better than a Trump presidency because one thing we have learned to our horror over the last year is that as terrible as things are, they can get worse. They can get much worse. They can get worse there in Palestine and Israel, and they can certainly get much worse here."
