The record remains broken and we grow weary of listening, but it's impossible to stop playing it — too much hinges on our refusal to hear:

"The last two weeks alone, we have been treated to an incomprehensible amount of evidence of Donald Trump’s unfitness."

~ Mary L. Trump

Then Mary Trump offers quite a list of incidents to back her statement up.

"At a town hall-style forum in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Trump seemed to have no recollection of meeting with a severely injured veteran and his family. The veteran’s wife noted that 'you visited with him many times' and ;you just saw him this summer.'”

AP News · Trump would be the oldest president and isn't providing health detailsBy STEVE PEOPLES

"The real story of today is that the Republican candidate for president is not mentally able to handle the job of the presidency, and Republican leaders are trying to cover up that reality. ...

To anyone paying attention, it is clear that Trump is not in any shape to manage the government of the United States of America."

"Trump’s Campaign is in freefall. Trump’s own behavior has been completely off the rails, and the media are paying attention. His closing argument seems to be that he’s in cognitive decline and not capable of another term as president. I won’t speculate about what’s going on with him but something clearly is, and whatever the issue is it should be disqualifying."

Ctrl Alt Right Delete · Two Truths and an ObservationBy Melissa Ryan

And as Robert Hubbell reports today, through it all, the beyond shameful New York Times keeps right on trying to sanewash Trump, with hot-shot young reporter Michael Gold trying to sell Trump's off-the-wall lewd reminiscences about Arnold Palmer as "golf stories." Until so many readers shouted back that the Times had to make a correction….

"No president in American history has been wealthier than Mr. Trump. And no president in the modern era, at least, paid less in federal income taxes in their first year living in the White House."
