Lied under oath! Hmm...if that's what it takes to impeach a sitting
president, then let's solve the problem before it gets to that point.
Every candidate who declares him/herself for a public office, must,
before they even utter their first campaign promise, take an oath that
they will only "tell the Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing but the
Truth". It will then be upon the voting public to decide what is
truth and what is not, rather than leaving it up to a squirming
Congress that is wishing the entire mess would simply go away.

I'm not sure that the sex of the person makes a different. Look at Sarah
Sanders and Hillary Clinton. I woke up to Kenneth Star being interviewed on
NPR this morning. His view, Clinton was impeachable because he lied under
oath. Trump hasn't lied under oath. Therefore...

It's a sad commentary, this collection of our wisest leaders who we placed
at the nation's helm.
Makes you wonder what the wisest women would look like.

But I do think that Trump is mentally unstable. He is an extreme
narsacist, (I can't remember the actual diagnostic term), and he has
other intellectual limitations like being illiterate. What he can do
is manipulate people. In the past, he used the power of his father's
money and the money that he derived from it. Now he has the power of
the office of the president. As for the appointments, he appointed the
people whom he was told to appoint by his advisors. He is a showman
and he knew how to please his reality show audience. His advisors used
that ability of his to help him appeal to a particular political base.
Trump was always a racist male chauvinist, but he was also a New York
Democrat. Someone had to show him how to appeal to midwestern
Republicans and Evangelicals. He's a canny manipulator, but he's
uneducated, somehow with a degree from Wharton Business School. Well,
look at George W. Bush. You can be really stupid and still get a
degree from a fancy college and become President if you come from the
right family. Bush also had people advising him.

Miriam,
There are far too many Americans who believe that Donald Trump is now
truly paranoid and totally unhinged.
This speaks to his ability as an entertainer. And he follows the
current pattern of entertainers who are succeeding as Important Public
Figures.
This has no bearing on Donald Trump's ability to understand the
nation's politics. He has carefully appointed an army of people to
take care of that.
My youngest daughter is much like your description of your daughter.
Renae might as well be the poster child for today's Young Adult
Association.
I'd rant a bit, but my cousins are here from Minnesota, and we're
meeting in Port Townsend to have lunch and then to visit with my one
remaining aunt.
She is 91 and in frail health, so we'll visit her at her apartment.

I doubt Reich cares what I think. Neither did my daughter. Our
political conversations tend to be less than satisfactory.
Apparently, Debbie, like the rest of the country, watched McCain's
funeral service on TV. This, apparently, became an act of resistance
against Trump and loyalty to all that's good in America because
McCain didn't want Trump at his funeral.
That
publicized wish of McCain's, turned him into a national saint. So my
daughter mentioned that Obama had given a wonderful eulogy for
McCain, something which made me want to throw up. But I did use some
self control and said only, "Oh, Obama", and then I said, "McCain was
actually a real bastard". He was in favor of every war." And I
added,"When these disgusting people die, they'e always whitewashed
and praised just like Nixon was.
Someday, when Trump dies, all of the politicians will praise him at
his funeral". Debbie's response was that it wouldn't happen, that
people were even saying negative things about Trump during the
coverage of McCain's funeral. And then, of course, I displeased her
even more because I said that they're always doing that and it's
stupid and counterproductive. The more they criticize him publicly
for every little thing, the more really terrible things he does in
response. She said that everything will get better in
2020
when someone else is elected, and I pointed out that when Obama was
elected, the policies that Bush initiated, continued and escalated.

Trump's rants Are Escalating in Dangerous Ways
By Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Facebook Page
02 September 18
rump's rants are escalating in dangerous ways. At his rally last
night in Indiana Trump said: "Today's Democrat Party is held hostage
by left-wing haters, angry mobs, deep-state radicals, establishment
cronies and their fake-news allies," and that "our biggest obstacle
and their greatest ally actually is the media." He also lashed out at
the FBI and the Justice Department, claiming that "people are angry"
and threatening to personally "get involved."
Why is the president of the United States claiming a huge conspiracy
against him?
(as) He's now truly paranoid and totally unhinged.
(b) He wants to fire Sessions (and Mueller), stir up his base so
they'll go to the polls Election Day, and threaten the nation with
civil unrest if he's ever impeached.
I say (b). What do you think?
