To the editor:
As it turns out, President Richard Nixon did not need a break-in at the Democratic National Committee’s headquarters at the Watergate office complex to trounce the Democrats in 1972. He compounded his mistake with a cover-up, leading to his resignation. (“It’s beginning to smell a lot like Watergate,” column, Oct. 13)
Former Vice President Joe Biden is imploding as you read this. Like the 1972 Democratic nominee George S. McGovern, Biden poses little threat to Trump; he may not even win his party’s nomination.
Similar to Watergate, Trump is clearly orchestrating a cover-up. The walls are closing in.
Still, the Senate will probably not vote to remove him from office, but the debacle will probably cost him the 2020 election. Like Nixon, it will have all turned out to have been a paranoid, futile attempt to attack an opponent who ultimately posed no threat.
All the more poetic the justice.

“The Krauts and the Frogs”

President Donald Trump’s capricious decision to abandon U.S. commitments to the Kurds has already resulted in deaths, and many more people—both civilians and combatants—will die in weeks to come. Thousands of ISIS prisoners now guarded by Kurds will likely escape and rejoin their people while their erstwhile guards return to the Kurdish forces. Our allies, the Kurds, are being attacked by our NATO ally, Turkey. And Turkey has invaded Syria in order to get at the Kurds.
Single-handedly, and without consulting his advisers or Congress, Trump has betrayed not only the Kurds but also the trust that other nations put into their alliances with us. He is dragging us all through the mud in his wake. Even some die-hard Republican supporters in Congress are finally beginning to see the light and are condemning Trump’s scurrilous behavior. May it continue.
If you care about your country and mine, please think hard about the past and future consequences of Trump’s megalomania and cruelty. We are all at risk. Let’s stand up and be counted.

Wow! Hunter Biden is being forced to leave a Chinese Company. Now watch the Fake News wrap their greasy and very protective arms around him. Only softball questions of him please!
