This #SundayMorning let's inspect a crucial but under-discussed component of the Trump impeachment inquiries. His fitness for office.

Beyond the abuse of power and straight-up extortion, there remains evidence that Trump's mental decline is accelerating.

(2) As the stress of impeachment compounds, psychiatrists warn Congress that Trump's "narcissistic rage" could become increasingly destructive & dangerous.

In addition to Trump's impulsivity & irrationality is mounting evidence of his cognitive decline.
sltrib.com/opinion/letter…
(3) There are dozens of very public examples. Sharpiegate is just one of the more extreme of nearly 14,000 lies Trump has told since taking office.

The people who surround Trump enable this behavior by hiding the truth from the emperor with no clothes.

thehill.com/opinion/campai…
(4) The truth is Trump is a very sick man, mentally and perhaps physically. And to continue to prop him up in a position of power is abusive not just to Americans but to Trump himself.

Through this lens, Trump's behavior isn't just bizarre. It's tragic.

(5) WH aides are scrambling to manage an increasingly unhinged President.

"His mood changes from one minute to the next based on some headline or tweet & the next thing you know his entire schedule gets tossed out the window because he's losing his shit."

(6) It's not just Trump's cognitive decline that's concerning. An unscheduled visit to Walter Reed left aides scrambling.

The urgency and lapse of security protocol refute insistence that this was a routine medical exam for Trump.

(7) Trump's increasingly unhinged state reminds us all of another point in history. Nixon's final year in office.

"Nixon was raging, hanging up on aides and increasingly huddling in his hideaway office in the Executive Office Building."
politico.com/magazine/story…
(8) "Nixon became incensed and ordered a tactical nuclear strike... The Joint Chiefs were alerted and asked to recommend targets, but Kissinger got on the phone to them. They agreed not to do anything until Nixon sobered up in the morning."

wearethemighty.com/articles/that-…
(9) Trump's fitness for office is a crucial component of whether he should continue to serve as President. And as such, it should be part of impeachment discussions.

Enabling a mentally unfit man to hold the security of a nation in his hands betrays the trust of every American.
(End) Thanks to @shakeycrackers for the #SundayMorning thread suggestion. Come back next week and we'll do this again.

Hey actors & actresses.

My 13 year old came out of his first high school theater audition in tears. He forgot some lines to his monologue & is devastated.

Can you tell him your worst audition story or give some advice?

He’s always loved theater & I don’t want him to give up.
Here he is as one of the leads in his middle school production of The Little Prince. I think it was hard to go from being cast as a lead to not even making the cut in high school.
When I asked him why this audition was so important, he said it was Richard III, his favorite Shakespeare play. He’s a serious Shakespeare nerd.

He’s bummed because the high school theater department does a LOT of musicals and this was his chance for this year to do a real play.

The Supreme Court has essentially condoned an invasive, medically unnecessary procedure that requires doctors to vaginally penetrate women in order to shame them.

Welcome to Gilead.
For the folks who don't understand how 1st-trimester ultrasounds work:

"Most often, this requires women to undergo an invasive transvaginal ultrasound, because this is the only way to display this information early in pregnancy."

For those asking exactly when a fetal heartbeat can be detected externally, it's usually after 6 weeks that the heart begins to beat and then it can't be heard outside the womb by a doppler until after 10 weeks.

For those who are worried criticizing Van Drew makes it tough for Dems to hold purple districts, New Jersey’s 2nd ain’t that red.

Trump won there in 2016 by under 4 points & Van Drew had a pretty wide margin of victory. There are plenty of Dems in seats less safe than this one.

(Thread 1/15) Some thoughts on today’s #impeachment news, which I wrote about @yesmagazine here: yesmagazine.org/opinion/2019/1…
Start with the basics: the House will likely vote to impeach Trump and the Senate will vote to acquit. Is there a point to this process? I argue yes, for two reasons. (2/15)
One: moral. The impeachment clause in the Constitution was created by the framers to avoid an entirely foreseeable consequence: a ruler who is corrupt, criminal, and/or subject to foreign influence. (3/15)

Think about it: If #USA Gov were to investigate & indict all the #USA Banks-financial institutions’ executives for fraud, Intentional loan scams, money laundering & inside deals...well, there wouldn’t be a single bank left in US. Is there anyone who wants 2 challenge me on this?!
Didn’t think so😉

Trump should have been removed from office 2 yrs ago. Trump, his criminal children, criminal associates have access to all secrets and are using the office to enrich themselves. They are the biggest national security threat that are endangering America and our allies #impeachment
The fact that Trump a criminal associated with Russian mobsters for almost 4 decades was not prosecuted earlier and allowed to even run is the biggest intel failure in our history. These are lifelong criminals who deal w transnational organized crime and have access to everything
Russia attacked us 2016 and continues to do so. Trump actively participated in the attack against America because of his decades long associations with them. Trump will defend Putin every day. Trump will never defend America but seek her downfall and the downfall of our allies

This is a bombshell. @TheAtlantic calls for #Trump impeachment. Because he has waged, "an attack on the very foundations of America’s constitutional democracy."

"#Impeachment is a process, not an outcome, a rule-bound procedure..."
