Donald Trump is crazy! Full Stop! He must be removed from office, impeached or by 25th Amendment- NOW!

Echo opinion letter published in CAPTimes, a Wisconsin newspaper:

Dear Editor: Donald Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran. It's been fragile, the details sketchy at best. But for now he has backed off from his draconian threats to Iran.

Those threats to destroy Iran's non-military infrastructure of bridges, power plants and water desalinization systems, if carried out, would be considered war crimes under the Geneva Convention.

Of course there are those who would say that Trump's draconian threats to end the civilization of Iran is just Trump being Trump. Just a negotiating technique.

But, I contend, and it's of utmost importance for everyone to remember, that Trump knows, the Iranians know, and we should all know, that in any real serious negotiation such as the one between the United States and Iran, there is no place or purpose for the completely idle threat. He really thinks he might blow Iran into "smithereens." When we consider that, along with Trump's escalating psychological instability, think malignant narcissism, we can only conclude the president is not well. Not well at all.

This incompetence makes Trump now totally unfit to carry out the duties of the presidency, and not only puts our United States system of government in crisis mode, but also puts the rest of the world on existential standby.

The time for invocation of the 25th Amendment should be at hand. There has never been a more pressing moment in our country's modern history when that has been more apparent and important.

Land Fills of American United! Let's name them all after Donald Trump! Creative idea from Wisconsin should go viral!

Echo opinion letter published in CapTimes, in Madison, Wisconsin:

Dear Editor- We are failing Donald Trump. Although he is a shy human being, reluctant to generate publicity about himself, he has expressed a desire to add his name to public institutions. The Kennedy Center. Dulles Airport. He has expressed a thoughtful wish to have them named after him.

Dane County, Wisconsin, so far, is failing in its naming duty. 

We should rise to the occasion. Right now, a local site has a dull and uninspiring name: The Dane County Landfill. How boring. How jejune. By acclamation, the site should be renamed the Donald Trump Landfill. Sure, there is a chance small-minded people may call it the Trump Dump. So petty of them.🤣

If, for some obscure reason, our president objects to the naming of the landfill and sues the county for his traditional $10 billion, substitute names can replace our original request: The Donald J. Throw Away, The Orange Cheeto Trash Seato. (Can we suggest a Name That Trump Trash Site Contest❓)

It may be that other municipalities have sites for which a name change would be appropriate. Most towns have trash repositories, rendering plants or automobile cemeteries.

Dare to dream.

Trump administration unable to create trust in the administration's ability to care for all Americans

Get Ready for a Catastrophic Four Years for Public Health

"The concern is not just about what the Trump 2.0 Administration will do, but also about what it will say," TIME.

Dear Editor: The nomination of (the incompetent❗) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for secretary of Health and Human Services is a potential catastrophe for health policy in the U.S.

A person who continues to believe that vaccines cause autism — in the face of scientific consensus that they do not — and that "there are no safe and effective vaccines," represents a danger to all of us.

Literally, children and others will die, like the excess deaths that occurred in "red" states where vaccination and sound public health protective behaviors were rejected during the pandemic. And he’s a worldwide danger. Read about the Samoans who died unnecessarily because of anti-vaccine policy Kennedy espoused. Pathogens don't respect international boundaries.

The author in this conservative publication notes, "(T)he Senate has a job to do. ... The question before the Senate is whether he should run the Department of Health and Human Services, and the answer — even after accounting for some due deference to the president’s preferences — is that he very obviously should not." This view spans political perspectives.

I'd urge any and all who care about public health in our country to call or write your senator now and tell them the danger this particular nomination has, and to reject it. Especially senators who are likely to vote to support nominees, which I’d estimate to be about 50% of Wisconsin’s senators.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders redux: A Trump liar

It is impossible to understand why the Republican party put Sarah Huckabee (wannabee) Sanders on national TV to provide a rebuttal to President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech to Congress.  In my opinion, the Republicans had the opportunity to put an entirely new and fresh face on their brand of politics when they chose who would respond to the president's speech.  Instead, their choice was a throw back to the age of lies.  I just did an online search with the words "Sarah Huckabee Sanders lies" and an entire page of news links popped up.  For example, this one from Yahoo news: 

15 Of Sarah Huckabee Sanders' Most Egregious Lies And Outrageous Remarks*

Pubic speaking grade for the Sarah Huckabee Sanders TV response to State of the Union = Failed

Therefore, anything Huckabee Sanders said in her State of the Union rebuttal was already suspect, because of her lying reputation that preceded her.  This opinion letter from Wisconsin underscores her ineffective effort to convince ordinary Americans about the validity of her inappropriate political accusations.

Echo opinion published in Wisconsin's CapTimes.com:

Dear Editor: I am a senior, moderate independent voter, leaning Democratic. 

Gov. Sarah Sanders of Arkansas made some mis-interesting points on behalf of the Republican Party, responding to President Biden's State of the Union in February, 2023.

She accused Democrats of being “woke fantasizers.” Woke is “being conscious of racial discrimination in society and other forms of oppression and injustice,” according to Dictionary.com. Fantasy is “something that is produced by the imagination; an idea about doing something far removed from 'normal' reality,” according to Britannica.

She went on to imply that the Republican Party was “normal” while Democrats are “crazy.” This seems to be disgraceful disrespect to the “dreams” of Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln and our Founding Fathers.

Bluesplayer on July 18, 2018:  Ignoring all the Huckabee lies has got to be some sort of disorder. Blatant ignorance is no excuse for letting the country go down in flames. Letting this behavior fester is worse than the behavior itself.  Then, being a paid liar and repeat the lies on national media is treason as well…


Democrats be Heartened, take pride in being woke. It is Biblical, as in “Love they neighbor.” From Micah 6:8: “He has told you O Mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to love Justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God”

When she mentioned “crazy,” my mind flashed to the State of the Union Address when a women dressed like a huge marshmallow (Maine Writer: IMO, dressed for her night job) jumped up, pointed and screamed “liar.” I wondered if Trump had crashed the chamber to steal the podium. Or were she and her colleagues auditioning for the cold open of Saturday Night Live.


Or were they acting like spoiled, entitled, immature people? Are these the new normal leaders of the Republican Party? Will they next yell for burning books to control education, or ban wearing masks so people have the freedom to die against medical advice?

Finally, as a reminder to Sanders, it is the old folks who have sacrificed for the life you enjoy. You are salty, but not seasoned like President Joe Biden. The National Republican Party has lost my vote.

* Sarah Huckabee Sanders spoke to journalists outside the West Wing of the White House in April 2019.  She admitted to lying during a press conference about former FBI director James Comey when she claimed “countless” FBI agents told her they were happy Trump fired him. She confessed under oath during special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation that this was not true, but she downplayed it as a mere “slip of the tongue.”

Maine Writer post script:  What kind of crazy motivated the Republican party to put the liar Sarah Huckabee Sanders on national TV, to create a déjà vu political nightmare?
