10. "Crazy" is accepted as the new normal.

The public needs to start speaking up against the media conglomerations for
normalizing delusional public figures.

By giving them air time, print and public forum, they are essentially
sending the message that this rhetoric and ranting is "normal" thinking and
expression. It is not, and it needs to be addressed.

What on earth do other countries think when they hear this
blathering of mad men in our political arena?

If you or I were to stand on a stump in our neighborhoods
proclaiming such crazy talk, some one would eventually
call the police so that we could be taken to the hospital for observation
and evaluation.

But when lawmakers and politicians display obvious symptoms
we are expected to ignore it?
WTF?
