Donald Trump's mental health becomes an issue again

What did Nancy Pelosi say to General Milley on a phone call, he is crazy, you know he is crazy?!! and General Milley concurred?!!

(CNN) Here's a fact you may have missed amid all of the coverage of the allegations and revelations in the new book by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa: The top general in the country believed that President Donald Trump was in significant enough mental decline that he took countermeasures to ensure Trump didn't start a war with China on his way out the door.

Yes, that actually happened, according to "Peril." Here's the relevant passage:
"Woodward and Costa write that [Joint Chief Chairman Mark] Milley, deeply shaken by the assault, 'was certain that Trump had gone into a serious mental decline in the aftermath of the election, with Trump now all but manic, screaming at officials and constructing his own alternate reality about endless election conspiracies.'

"Milley worried that Trump could 'go rogue,' the authors write.

"'You never know what a president's trigger point is,' Milley told his senior staff," according to the book.

Think about that for a minute. Milley, the top military adviser to the president, a man who undoubtedly spent considerable time with Trump in this period of time, believed that he was in "serious mental decline" triggered by his election loss.

This is not, then, a story about the mental health concerns about a former President. Rather it is about the mental health concerns leading officials have expressed about a man who is, without question, the leader of the Republican Party and the current 2024 front-runner to be the GOP nominee.

Which should concern all of us. Fuckin Ay?!!

YEP ... Another thread to divert attention from hojo's mental problems

It was a mistake to ever let him near the nuclear codes in the first place.

We lost our collective mind by electing him.

Now we are getting our ship back together.

Tough battle, as his supporters deny reality, deny facts. They make up their own narrative instead. If you try to talk to them about it, they generally become very angry and hurl insults to try to shut down any meaningful functional conversation about it.

Trump and his followers must be removed from power wherever they hold it, and must never be allowed to acquire it again.

His followers are doing everything they can to suppress future elections and kill democracy. And here's the bizarre and total irony of it. They think Democracy is under attack, not by their own hand (which it most certainly is) but because of fictitious election fraud that simply does not exist. Despite there being no evidence of election fraud at any level which would affect outcomes, they are making it so difficult to vote that many poor Democrats will be shut out of voting. (How convenient for Republicans!)

Republican's idea of 'eliminating election fraud' is to remove voting machines from poor districts, require onerous IDs that many poor are unable to easily acquire, place added restrictions on mail-in voting, purge voter rolls - eliminating thousands of legal voters from Democratic districts, and drastically cut back on voting days and hours. All of this despite having scant evidence of any appreciable levels of election fraud.

Funny thing, when Republicans want to scrutinize elections for fraud they always want recounts in Democratic districts.
