My Letter to Jeff Corker

Events sometimes are so important that they must be addressed.  Though I grow weary of formulating opinion this time I must.

Senator Corker, I am writing to you because I love this nation. I am not a Republican but I care about the well being of our nation and our democracy. I am staggered with fear of this president. I wake up and immediately think that something is very wrong. I think about the danger in which our nation exists because this chief executive holds the keys to life and death of all of us and he is massively dangerous and inept.

I believe this is the worst era in my historical memory. In a way it is almost worse than the milieu of WWII because there is a nation, North Korea, waiting for an excuse to use nuclear weaponry which probably now could reach Washington and there is a US president that is just as threatening as Kim Jong Un.

Larry O'Donnell interviewed an excellent Harvard professor of psychiatry, a Dr. Dotus, who diagnosed the president as psychotic and felt he was qualified to diagnose him as such. He said Trump is the most dangerous psychotic because he exhibits a thin veneer of sanity. But, he said, when the president is stressed he goes off the rails and is irrational. Bringing up the citizenship of Obama yet again when Trump won the last election or questioning the veracity of the Access Hollywood tape saying it's not his voice is a man who is out of touch with reality. The psychiatrist thought that there is a grave danger of nuclear war because when the president is stressed he cannot think rationally and contain himself. It is a more dangerous kind of psychosis because of his thin veneer of sanity.

One usually thinks of psychotic as someone talking incomprehensibly. This president does not exhibit that BUT it does not, he said, make his psychosis any less so and, in fact, makes it more of a grave danger to everyone. His supporters either cannot admit he is out of touch with reality or if they do admit it they don't care and delude themselves. Where are the Republican leaders to corral the Republicans in Congress into facing reality and remove this out of touch man from office?

I call on you, Jeff Flake, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and other rational Republicans to move to remove this psychotic president post haste before there is no nation from which to remove him!

Democratic Presidential Convention--On to November

  I watched the Democratic convention last evening until my body's demand for sleep overtook me around midnight.  Having followed thin...
