You are certainly not the first to describe Trump as a psycho/sociopath. And no degree is necessary to do so. And I am certainly not the first to suggest that a very toxic brew is in the making when Trump's life long mental illness meets his growing dementia.

You are wise to wonder when this election will end as Trump is not the type to willingly acknowledge the truth and give up the car keys. We must take care of ourselves and not get sick by getting sucked into Trump's health issues. Focus on a Kamala Harris LANDSLIDE!

Thanks again for another pointed column! I'm more worried about the people who vote for these insane candidates; how can any sensible person listen to them and actually believe the bull crap they are spewing. Then there's the multi-zillionaires behind Project 2025 - they terrify me! But my husband and I have already voted BLUE with our Oregon ballots and returned them. See you tomorrow at the SE corner of Ina and Oracle with our Harris/Walz sign!

In the words of Obama yesterday...they can't hear the boos...they can hear the votes. Let's vote our way out of this current sad (and dangerous) state of affairs. My BLUE ballot was in the mail yesterday and my "I voted early" sticker on my shirt when I attended yesterday's rally surrounded by the hope you can only get when you see how many other people are sane and fired up for change!

Fitz… this might be your best column. For a moment I thought I was reading a Doctor’s notes on a mental patient! I mean to say, BSC is an apt diagnosis for The likes of Lake and tRump.

Thank you for putting in words what we are all thinking. The Obama rally was fabulous & all the speakers were great. Thank God for former president Obama who is so intelligent & articulate & funny too. If trumpers get their gold effigy in then our country is doomed & then so will go the rest of the world into total chaos.

While I despise tRump and believe our Constitution has been under siege ever since the day he rode down the golden escalator, I do not believe he ever said we SHOULD shoot up bleach. He only asked a stupid question about it. THEY are the liars, so I don’t think we should copy the behavior we criticize.

No matter the outcome of the election, this senior citizen, veteran, grandfather is emigrating to Canada where the vast majority of the populace is sane-not like the U.S. where approximately 50% are not.

Yeah I don't like'um either, but try as I may, some how I've never mastered the ART of poetic delivery that is so interwoven in yours. That's what drives me crazy. aka. Dr. K.

Right frickin' on!! That the race is so even suggests that character doesn't count for half of American citizens.

Love this article. I love Obama & had so much hope for our country when he was in office. I thought our country was moving in the right direction. Looking at things now what happened? Geezz.
