Finally, a dire warning from the Las Vegas Sun about Djt:

'Las Vegas Sun editorial says ‘Trump’s cognitive decline becoming a troubling concern'

The Las Vegas Sun has published a strongly worded editorial stating that while “Donald Trump’s racism, sexism, xenophobia and penchant for corruption have long made him unfit for any public office, let alone the presidency,” his cognitive decline has now also become 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 and showing clear signs of mental illness.

.... A recent analysis by The New York Times noted that Trump’s rally speeches over the past eight years have become darker, longer, more profane and increasingly unfocused and unhinged — a troubling sign that he is no longer able to articulate ideas or reason in ways we expect of our leaders. This makes him prey to manipulations by his own staff or, worse, the control of foreign adversaries.

He shambles about aimlessly, slurs his words and sometimes speaks gibberish. Always an effortless liar, now that his speeches are nothing more than a series of lies tangled in a mass inside his head, it appears he no longer even knows he’s lying.'

what to say any more, but if he steals this election, our country that we know, will be in shambles, and our adversaries will be rejoicing. The stakes are too high.

And to everyone who fought for our freedoms we must protect our country, for the generations we lost, and those generations who come after us.

8. The crisis happening to us

So many things that I never thought could happen in the United States of America are happening. Everything that’s going on is so beyond comprehension that I wonder if this is how it started in Germany. “First they came” comes to mind. Nobody said or did anything to stop what was happening. It’s actually terrifying.

The repubs seem to be willing and ready to do ANYTHING to get their way, the law be damned. But we the democrats seem to be held back by what is legal and are just willing to stand by and let them do as they like.

The crisis happening is absolutely terrifying. The fact that MAGAts seem to believe it’s us that they need be frightened of, we that will sink the country into chaos. Again, terrifying.

I question if we dems will do anything to stop TFG from stealing the election if it means we will need to “Do something” to stop it.

Why should we take even the briefest glance at Trump's rapidly accelerating disintegration? So much easier to attack Democrats, as CNN has been doing for decades in its race to be like Fox.
