4 yrs ago: Nation's senior Rep. Nat. Security officials warned re: Trump. Now declaring he's worse
4 years after 50 senior Republican national security officials warned that Trump “would be the most reckless president in American history,” they are back with a new letter, saying Trump was worse than they had imagined.

In a letter released hours before Joe Biden is set to deliver his nomination acceptance speech, over 70 senior officials called President Trump “unfit to lead” and outlined their support for his opponent.

The new letter, released just hours before Mr. Biden formally accepts the nomination, lays out a 10-point indictment of Mr. Trump’s actions, accusing him of undermining the rule of law, aligning himself with dictators and engaging “in corrupt behavior that renders him unfit to serve as president.”
They also accused him of “spreading misinformation” and “undermining public health experts,” making him “unfit to lead during a national crisis.”
“When we wrote in 2016, we were warning against a vote for Donald Trump, but many of the signatories were not ready to embrace his opponent,” Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state, noted John Bellinger, a former legal adviser at the State Department and National Security Council who was among the authors of the past and current letters. “This is different: Each of the signatories has said he or she will vote for Biden. Signatories are now even more concerned about Trump, and have fewer concerns about Biden.”
Eric Edelman, a former senior Defense Department official under President George W. Bush, and a signatory to both the old and new letters, noted that the 2016 warnings were “a prospective judgment about Donald Trump’s fitness for office. Today the things that were cited in those letters have been vindicated by Trump’s actual performance.”
The result, he said, was that new Republican signatories joined — there are more than 70 in the new letter — people who “undoubtedly hoped that Trump would grow in office and would take the responsibilities of office seriously. He didn’t.”

I'm torn between "Thank you!" and "F**k you!" for all of those that are coming back and saying "we thought he would grow in office."
Well, your wishes did come true. He grew, just as cancer spreads in some cases. And he was supported by a malignant bunch of cancerous aides (some now convicted) and Senators (not YET convicted, unfortunately) that allowed his "growth" to take off in the wrong direction.
So, with or without them, it is time:
GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!!
WE will make sure that there will be no more cancerous growth of this sort in OUR WHITE HOUSE!
have to alert Trump's Cult that he is not fit to be president? 
Why don't these morons listen? This is most definitely a cult, because "the leader" can never do any wrong, even when the evidence against him is massive and irrefutable! But they'll believe Hillary Clinton rapes babies and eats human flesh. 
And these lunatics get to vote?
