From a recent letter you printed, I was forced to conclude that Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is an extraordinarily virulent affliction that can strike anywhere across a politically over-wrought portion of the populace, causing extremely bad judgments on both sides, especially that "right" side.

Nowhere is a range of symptoms more grossly displayed than in the prime infection vector, DT, Derangement Donnie himself. In that maelstrom of self-delusion, we see fevered whining, logorrhea, chronic cranial swelling, extreme limitation of vision, epic lying and hypocrisy, and an entirely shameless projection of his faults, foibles, rolling fiascoes and crimes onto those that oppose or defy him.

Other side effects observed have been: grand mal Twitter-twitches contaminated news, ukraineal lesions, gangrenous “staff” infections and amputations, postulated sphincteral cavitations, aural flocking, border bunions with plaintive fascistitis, crotch seizures with perineal crenellations, Munchausen syndrome by administrative proxy, and panic in them there streets.

If this electile dysfunction lasts longer than four years, we may suffer an irreversible lobotomy of the republic, that neither Doctors Strange, Manhattan nor Demento could save us from.

As the Trump Cult continues to deny or excuse the repeated examples and evidence of incoherent speech and action, sexual and financial crimes and misconduct, abuses of power, and general malfeasance and ineptitude, it only encourages further bad speech and behavior from the Beloved Leader and sets the stage for even more epic failure.

Impeach Trump. Impeach Barr. Impeach Kavanaugh. Elect no McConnell, no Graham, no Toomey, no Cruz, no Nunes, no Jordan, no Gaetz, no Gohmert, and no dozens more Republicans, rather hateful creatures all.
