An honest editorial

From a Las Vegas Sun editorial, “Donald Trump’s cognitive decline becoming a troubling concern” :

Donald Trump’s racism, sexism, xenophobia and penchant for corruption have long made him unfit for any public office, let alone the presidency. But as he continues his bid for a second term in the White House, there is an unsettling and undeniable shift that is leading many experts, observers and even some Trump supporters to conclude that the former president’s mental acuity and sharpness are also in decline, that his physical health and stamina are waning and that his frustration and anger are boiling over.

Americans from both sides of the political spectrum should be alarmed by Trump’s words and behavior. The nation must confront the fact that beyond his hateful character, he is crippled cognitively and showing clear signs of mental illness.

"becoming????" isn't the more appropriate word "Is?" five days before the election and they finally notice it or have the wheels finally come off and the 4th estate has decided that some of them will state the obvious.

Yeah, they must have overslept.

I just tried the site several times — blocked twice, and then got through twice. My guess is that they're overwhelmed with traffic. Their site itself does not appear to be down.
