Please Don’t Touch! (1978).

Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

To the editor:

Goldberg is mistaken to use the past tense when talking about “the price the GOP paid on his watch” because of Trump-approving Republicans.

The toll will be ongoing and forever part of the Republican brand. Trump isn’t just some barker fronting the GOP tent. Republicans stand in allegiance to their leader.

The echoes of his divisive calls to ban, wall out and lock up the bogeymen will fade like the memories of his vitriolic party warfare and attacks on the free press. But even if establishment Republicans are never held to account for abiding Trump’s lies and rampant abuses of power, the GOP no longer exists as the party of fiscal responsibility, free trade or states’ rights.

The mantras that approving Republicans now hang their hats on are brutal immigration enforcement, tax cuts for the wealthy, deregulation in support of gluttonous use of natural resources and adherence to the U.S. Constitution only when politically expedient.

Robert Fox, Los Angeles

Note from KBJ: President Trump defends himself from vicious attacks by the press. Robert Fox, a certified idiot, says that Trump "attacks . . . the free press."

In a short while I will be presenting the New York @Yankees @MarianoRivera, the greatest relief pitcher (Closer!) of all time, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the East Room of the @WhiteHouse!

Spring Session M (1982). Wow. I just rediscovered this great 1980s band.

Regarding “Why, how we make election endorsements” (John Diaz, Insight, Sept. 8): Thank you for explaining the how and the why of this newspaper’s process for making endorsements of local candidates and ballot measures. Here’s a question about the when of an endorsement:

Although the 2020 presidential election is still over one year away, is it too soon to endorse whoever the Democratic Party nominee is on behalf of the many Chronicle readers (and millions of citizens) who are exhausted by the seemingly endless malicious deeds and mendacious words of the 45th U.S. president?

Jennifer Erickson-James, San Francisco

Note from KBJ: Stop projecting your maliciousness and mendacity onto President Trump, Jennifer.

Brett Kavanaugh should start suing people for libel, or the Justice Department should come to his rescue. The lies being told about him are unbelievable. False Accusations without recrimination. When does it stop? They are trying to influence his opinions. Can’t let that happen!
