What do the resident Trumpers think about their hero's press conference with Bill's accusers? Good move? Bad move?

He had to change the topic and stop the bleeding - tried this and the debate - I think he did.

[Winehole23]

Donald Trump’s threat in Sunday night’s presidential debate to appoint a special prosecutor (http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/trackers/2016-10-10/trump-says-if-he-wins-he-ll-hire-prosecutor-to-probe-clinton) to go after Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server is legally empty -- but it’s genuinely dangerous nevertheless. Federal regulations give the appointment power to the attorney general, not the president, precisely to protect us against a president who uses the special prosecutor as a political tool.


What separates functioning democracies from weak or failed ones is that political parties alternate in power without jailing the opponents they beat in elections.https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-10-10/trump-would-jail-clinton-there-s-a-name-for-that

[Winehole23]

As political scientists have long observed, democracy depends most basically on political alternation: When parties change places after an election, the winners allow the losers to stay in business, operate as an opposition and run for office again.That alternation means winners don’t put their opponents in jail. If they do -- or if the opponents fear that they will be jailed -- then the incentive to accept defeat evaporates. Losers in that dire position instead will turn to wide-scale popular resistance or military coups. That’s only rational if the losers think they won’t be free to run for office again.


Alternation is thus what distinguishes stable democracies from weak or failing ones. Prosecuting opponents is the hallmark of democracy-ending dictatorship. Egypt offers a recent and clear example (https://www.bloomberg.com/quicktake/egypts-revolution): Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi has relentlessly prosecuted the elected leaders he displaced in his 2013 coup. No one has any illusion that the Muslim Brotherhood will be back in future elections. And no one doubts that democracy in Egypt (https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2013-08-14/democracy-is-just-a-dream-in-egypt) is over.

[Winehole23]

Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon is a prime example, even though the two were from the same party. Ford judged that the republic wouldn’t be well-served by prosecution of a former president. George W. Bush didn’t seek to prosecute Bill Clinton for perjury, although legally he might have been able to do so.


And Barack Obama didn’t seek to prosecute Bush administration officials for acts that likely counted as torture.


In each instance, there were other political reasons to avoid prosecution. But the dominant rationale was surely that each president wanted to avoid the specter of using executive office to go after opponents or former presidents.


This shows that even in the U.S., the value of democratic alternation weighs very heavily -- more heavily than criminal justice. Trump’s threat to jail Clinton shows he doesn’t value that tradition of alternation. Even if he’s not elected, that’s a dangerous view.

[Reck]

He had to change the topic and stop the bleeding - tried this and the debate - I think he did.

It was a complete fail.

Not only did people think this was pathetic. He compounded his own problems by putting his dictator cap on and threatening his political oponent of imprisonment.

Which by the way is exactly what Putin does. Either kills his enemies or throws them in jail.

[Fabbs]

Even if he’s not elected, that’s a dangerous view.
Trump is such a vindictive hypocritical bitch.
As if it isn't obvious the whole casino banruptcy scams and tax write offs he was in bed with mafia, banksters etc.
If a *special prosecutor* was assigned to uncover shit on him it would probably be endless the crap he has pulled.

Question to you all - if you or I did what she did, don't you think we'd be in jail?

[DMX7]

Mr. Trump cherishes women... no one respects women more than he. Tee-hee...

[ElNono]

Question to you all - if you or I did what she did, don't you think we'd be in jail?

If you were investigated by the FBI and eventually found that there was no criminal case against you? I think you wouldn't be in jail.

I'm no fan of Shillary, but I still think the FBI does do their job.

[ElNono]

And I second the Winehole posts. Threats of jail to your political opponent are bush league and a new low. Not to mention, extremely harmful to democracy.

I understand the frustration that a lot of people feel personally with Shillary, but candidates have to potentially govern for all, including those that selected Shillary to represent them.

It's true that Trump might not be your regular politician that understands you have to be above the fray in certain areas, but it's also certainly no excuse either.

[boutons_deux]

"b) why would they talk in person in front of cameras"

FBI protocol is to say nothing when there is no indictment. Comey wanted his face on national TV to slime Hillary. a total political hit job by the corrupt FBI.

[Winehole23]

You're overreading this, boutons. Comey is a straight arrow who didn't like getting slimed by the GOP, so he broke protocol to defend himself and the agency he heads.

It wasn't such a good idea. Both sides hate him for it.

[Winehole23]

Question to you all - if you or I did what she did, don't you think we'd be in jail?There has to be provable criminal intent. That wasn't found in this case.

22,000 emails on RNC servers were deleted in the Alberto Gonzalez US atty firing kerfuffle -- no one went to jail for that either.

DONALD TRUMP: NARCISSIST, CREEP, LOSER

the hot-mic tape displaying Donald Trump as a brutal, vile, woman-despising, sexually predatory vulgarian suddenly has set the elders of the Republican Party off to war with him.

Upstart, indeed! Why should this previously hidden mean-minded monologue mean more than all the other countless unhidden ones, which have already shown

Trump to be a brutal, vile vulgarian?

Mexican “rapists,”

“she gained a massive amount of weight,”

“blood coming out of her wherever”—

all of these and more Paul Ryan and the rest passed by untroubled, until “grab them by the pussy” became their “upstart!”

when a camel’s back has already been broken by the cumulative weight of countless straws, we wrongly credit the last straw in the pile with breaking it. Trump had been imploding for weeks, Wang argues, the polls showed this (http://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/trump-in-deep-trouble-on-eve-of-second-debate), and the

Republican elders, as craven in abandonment as they previously were in surrender, were just waiting for an excuse to get off the doomed train.

there was also, perhaps significantly, something pathetic and therefore newly vulnerable about the taped Trump.

This was not a dominant American Mussolini asserting himself contemptuously on stage.

It was, well, a loser, struggling to impress a very insignificant new acquaintance with pitiful boasts about his masculinity.

What runs through the tape is, along with his one-size-fits-all brutality, Trump’s deep insecurity and desperate need for approval from other men.

He is not boasting so much as begging, looking for Billy Bush’s confirmation of his sexuality and his stardom, as crazy narcissists will.

The same thing is true of the newly discovered tapes of his conversations with Howard Stern.

He engages in matchlessly creepy celebration of his own daughter as an object of sexual interest

, yes, but it’s obvious that he is doing it above all to be admired and accepted by Stern. He is

willing to throw his daughter under the bus and onto a mattress, so to speak, in exchange for a moment more of the King of All Media’s approval. It is the desperate need for validation and success, as much as the mere ugliness, that impresses.

"[A year after she had already set up her private email server] He did write former Secretary Clinton an email memo describing his use of his personal AOL email account for unclassified messages and how it vastly improved communications within the State Department," the statement reads.

Donald Trump tried to call out Warren Buffett. He probably didn’t expect this response.

Buffett responded with a statement (http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20161010005859/en/Tax-Facts-Donald-Trump) on Monday, saying that Trump was incorrect. The octogenarian billionaire wrote that he had never taken advantage of the rule that Trump might have used to avoid paying tax on nearly $1 billion in income, according to several pages from one of his tax returns that were disclosed recently.

“Many of her friends took bigger deductions,” the Republican nominee said. “Warren Buffett took a massive deduction.”
It was not clear what deduction of Buffett's Trump meant, but Buffett's statement Monday made clear he had never counted losses from past years against his personal income.

“I have paid federal income tax every year since 1944, when I was 13. (Though, being a slow starter, I owed only $7 in tax that year,)" Buffett wrote.

“I have copies of all 72 of my returns and none uses a carryforward.”

TRUMP EXPANDS ATTACKS TO INCLUDE GEORGE CLINTON

http://www.newyorker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Borowitz-Trump-Expands-Attack-George-Clinton-1200.jpg

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO — Unveiling a strategy that some Republican insiders deemed unwise, Donald Trump on Tuesday unleashed a blistering attack on George Clinton.

In a furious tirade at a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, the Republican Presidential nominee seemed to take his audience by surprise by tearing into

Clinton, the founder of the legendary funk ensembles known collectively as Parliament-Funkadelic.

“Anyone who is knocking me for my locker-room banter has never heard

‘Atomic Dog,’ ” Trump told his audience. “It’s disgusting.”

“If I went around saying, ‘Why must I feel like that, why must I chase the cat, it’s the dog in me,’ the media would kill me,” he added.

As many members of his audience shifted uncomfortably in their seats, Trump escalated his attack on Clinton by impugning the musician’s most celebrated asset: his funk.

“George Clinton says he has funk, but he has terrible funk,” he said. “I have better funk than he does.”

The billionaire continued his attacks later on Twitter, where he referred repeatedly to Clinton as “Unfunky George.”

On Capitol Hill, House Speaker Paul Ryan bemoaned the latest tactics of his party’s mercurial nominee. “At a time when he should be talking about jobs and terrorism, he’s saying,

‘Do the dogcatcher, baby, do the dogcatcher,’ ” Ryan said. “It’s counterproductive.”

There are going to be some losses among successes but on a whole, he has been successful business-wise. And he has run a lean (financially) campaign (compared to others).

Donald Trump made less than he pretends. A lot less. (http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/10/11/1580925/-Donald-Trump-made-less-than-he-pretends-A-lot-less)


There is no telling from this form what Trump truly made as income.

But documents he filed overseas indicate there could be a great discrepancy between what he claimed at the debate and what he banked.

These filings in the United Kingdom cover the operations of two Scottish golf resorts, one at Turnberry and one at Aberdeen.

These courses are major enterprises in Trump's wide-ranging international golf empire.



What did Trump make off those courses? If you’re only considering revenue, as Trump did when coming up with that $694 million number, the two courses pulled in $23 million. Meanwhile, back in the real world where expenses count, the courses lost $3 million.

When you start to chop out expenses, the real question becomes: Did Donald Trump make any money at all?

The golfing revenue discrepancies call into question much of what Trump reported in his FEC financial disclosure form.

On that filing, $415 million of the $694 million Trump touted at the debate was described as some kind of "revenue."

And the rest of that amount was money that also might not take into account the costs of his ventures, such as rent and land sales.

Perhaps a large percentage of his reported revenue might have been profit, but the FEC form provides no way to determine that. Trump's income could be dramatically less than what he claimed.

For those wondering why someone who claims to be a billionaire would be tapping what’s supposed to be a charity in order to pay his legal bills and make a few timely bribes, the reason may be simple:

the quarter or million or so that Trump lifted out of his foundation to cover his own bills in the last year, may represent a significant portion of his real income.

‘Paul Ryan Is The Enemy’: Steve Bannon Ordered Breitbart Staff To Destroy House Speaker

Per emails sent in December 2015, shortly after Paul Ryan became Speaker of the House, Bannon expressed no interest in opening “a bridge” with the Republican leader, instead ordering his staff to destroy him.

On editorial conference calls, the Breitbart chairman would often say “Paul Ryan is the enemy,” according to a source who worked with Bannon at the news organization.

In December 2015, weeks after Ryan became Speaker, Bannon wrote in an internal Breitbart email obtained by The Hill that the “long game” for his news site was for Ryan to be “gone” by the spring.

In the Dec. 1 email, Breitbart’s Washington editor, Matt Boyle, suggested to Bannon via email that a story promoting Ryan’s planned overhaul of the mental health system would be a good way to “open a bridge” to Ryan.

Arms dealer says administration made him scapegoat on Libya operation to 'protect' Clinton
EXCLUSIVE: American arms dealer Marc Turi, in his first television interview since criminal charges against him were dropped, told Fox News that the Obama administration -- with the cooperation of Hillary Clinton’s State Department -- tried and failed to make him the scapegoat for a 2011 covert weapons program to arm Libyan rebels that spun out of control.

“I would say, 100 percent, I was victimized…to somehow discredit me, to throw me under the bus, to do whatever it took to protect their next presidential candidate,” he told Fox News chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge.

The 48-year-old Arizona resident has been at the epicenter of a failed federal investigation led by the Justice Department spanning five years and costing the government an estimated $10 million or more, Turi says.

Turi says the Justice Department abruptly dropped the case to avoid public disclosure of the weapons program, that was designed to force the ouster of Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi during the 2011 Arab Spring.

"Those transcripts from current as well as former CIA officers were classified," Turi said of the evidence. "If any of these relationships [had] been revealed it would have opened up a can of worms. There wouldn't have been any good answer for the U.S. government especially in this election year." The Justice Department faced a deadline last week to produce records to the defense.

Turi says he was specifically “targeted by the Obama administration “and “lost everything--my family, my friends, my business, my reputation.”
As Fox News has reported extensively, in 2011, the Obama administration with support from some Republican and Democratic lawmakers explored options to arm the so-called “Libyan rebels” during the chaotic Arab Spring but United Nations sanctions prohibited direct sales.

Turi's plan was to have the U.S. government supply conventional weapons to the Gulf nations Qatar and UAE, which would then in turn supply them to Libya. But Turi says he never sold any weapons, and he was cut out of the plan. Working with CIA, Turi said Clinton's State Department had the lead and used its own people, with weapons flowing to Libya and Syria.

"Some (weapons) may have went out under control that we had with our personnel over there and the others went to these militia. That's how they lost control over it," Turi said. "I can assure you that these operations did take place and those weapons did go in different directions."

Asked by Fox News who got the weapons -- Al Qaeda, Ansar al-Sharia, or ISIS -- Turi said: "All of them, all of them, all of them."

Turi exchanged emails in 2011 with then U.S. envoy to the Libyan opposition Chris Stevens. A day after the exchange about Turi's State Department application to sell weapons, Clinton wrote on April 8, 2011 to aide Jake Sullivan, "fyi. the idea of using private security experts to arm the opposition should be considered."

Asked if the email exchanges are connected or a coincidence, Turi said, "When you look at this timeline, none of it was a coincidence. It was all strategically managed and it had to come from her own internal circle."

Turi also told Fox News that he believes emails sent about the weapons programs were deleted by Hillary Clinton and her team because that “it would have gone to an organization within the Bureau of Political Millitary affairs within the State Department known as PM/RSAT (Office of Regional Security and Arms Transfers.) That’s where you would find Jake Sullivan, Andrew Shapiro and a number of political operatives that would have been intimately involved with this foreign policy."

The four felony counts -- which included two of arms dealing in violation of the Arms Export Control Act and two of lying on his State Department weapons application -- were dismissed last week against Turi “with prejudice,” meaning the government cannot come after him again on this matter.

The Justice Department decision, weeks before the election, coupled with the now public emails, cast a new light on Clinton's 2013 Benghazi testimony where she was asked about the movement of weapons by Sen. Rand Paul.

Paul: Were any of these weapons be transferred to other countries. Any countries. Turkey included?

Clinton: Well, senator you'll have to direct that question to the agency that ran the annex and I will see what information is available.

Paul: You're saying you don't know?

Clinton: I don't know.

Turi first told his story to Fox News senior executive producer Pamela Browne in 2014, and since, Turi says he's lost everything to fight the Justice Department, which had no further comment beyond the publicly available court records.

"With all the resources that they were throwing at me, I knew there would have to be some type of explanation of the operation that was going terribly wrong in Libya," Turi said. "It is completely un-American...I was a contractor for the Central Intelligence Agency."

Turi said he is grateful the case is over. "It really is ungodly, and unjust and unconscionable, that the entire force of the United States government came after me for a simple application. I was working for the U.S. government."

Turi added, "I never shipped anything. I never even received the contract. So all I received was an approval for $534 million to support our interests overseas. And it would have been the United States government that facilitated that operation from Qatar and UAE by way of allowing those countries to land their planes and land their ships in Libya."

Close friend and Turi adviser Robert Stryk described Turi this way to Fox News in a statement:

“Marc Turi is a true patriot who served his country in the fight against Islamofascist terrorists in the Middle East. His fraudulent prosecution by Hillary Clinton’s associates in the Justice Department is deplorable as is the fate of the American heroes murdered in Benghazi. Our most loyal citizens deserve better."

And Turi hinted there is more to emerge on the 2012 Benghazi attacks which killed four Americans including Stevens.

"Now there’s a flip side to this. Some of the operations that I was involved in, in another country for the agency has a linkage and there’s a backstory to the actual buy-back program of the surface to air missiles that were shipped and mysteriously disappeared out of Benghazi," Turi said. "So we can save that for another time, but the reality is a lot of this could have exposed a number of covert operations that I don’t think the American public would really want to know at this point in time.”

Fox News asked the State Department about Turi’s allegations, and whether no weapons reached extremists groups on Clinton’s watch. A spokesperson said they would check.

Facing the Abuser's Rage

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I was in meetings in Washington for most of the day. So I checked my iPhone here and there and got a few minutes poking around on my laptop. But I saw most of the day only at a distance - enough to see that the full conflagration had finally broken out but not enough to see the details.

It's hard to know quite what to say because in some ways this is the most obvious thing in the world. We've known all along that something like this could happen, indeed that it was likely to happen. As long as Trump seemed likely to win or to have a plausible chance to win, most everyone in the GOP would be happy and go along. The fact that they were happy is profoundly troubling. But that's another story. As long as Trump seemed likely to lose without making too much of a mess that was something the party machinery could tolerate. But when things started to go badly things were likely to go bad fast - even more if something extremely toxic was revealed about Trump.

To say that Trump can't lose gracefully or graciously in the grandest of understatements. He's driven by a need to dominate - not to be the best but to be recognized as the best, the richest, the smartest, the strongest. This also means needing to win always. All of this means he gets angry quickly and lashes out in the face of sleights.

Being shamed by nearly every Republican in the country is a profound ego injury. Looking at the prospect of a shattering electoral defeat is another. That has to be channeled somewhere and it looks like it's going to be channeled against the GOP. Trump needs someone to blame. He's already blamed news networks, blacks, debate moderators, the Khans, Alicia Machado, Judge Curiel. But Paul Ryan and the GOP now seem like the target of his most intense rage.

Will that rage settle as the intensity of the final weeks builds and the prospect of defeat gets closer? I would think not.

Remember, Trump is a bully. Bullies seek out people they can hurt. Trump has done everything he possibly can to hurt Hillary Clinton. But he doesn't seem to be able to do so. The chance to do the one thing that would truly hurt her - defeating her in the general election - looks to be slipping beyond his grasp. That is almost certainly the root of his increasingly open threats to jail and punish her. But there is someone else he can hurt profoundly, even as he falls behind in the general election: the Republican party. All the better since they are his best argument to justify his defeat as a betrayal rather than a personal failure.

Think of your own experience. Bullies never pick out the strongest person to abuse. That defies the definition of a bully. Bullies seek out the weak. At the moment, the institutional GOP and its key leaders are exceptional weak and vulnerable, even helpless. The best example: even as he continues to attack them, threaten a cataclysmic election outcome, they cannot even withdraw their endorsements. Like an abuser who takes out his personal failures and frustrations and rages on his wife and his children, Paul Ryan and the GOP are now alone in the house with Donald Trump. He is angry and the prospect of defeat will no doubt make him angrier. In Trump's world of displacement, abuse and vengeance turning against the GOP is the most logical thing in the world.

Repugs pandered to extremists who voted for Trash. iow, Repugs created Trash.

Republican Civil War Is The 8-Year Price Of Extremist Embrace

Embracing extremism delivered what the base wants and GOP attempts to distance themselves from their creation is inciting a rebellion against party defectors.

It is an oddity in American elections to see one of the two major political parties engaged in what is now a very public civil war.

This is particularly true for Republicans who, over the past eight years, have had to rush to defend some clearly extremist comments by their own members and still support them despite they made similar comments to the party’s standard bearer, Donald J. Trump.

What is exceptionally gleeful for those tasked with observing, analyzing, and commenting on politics is that this civil war may well serve to purge the once-proud GOP of its extremist elements.

Mr. Ryan didn’t say he was abandoning the Party; just that he was dedicating himself to defending the party’s majority in Congress.

It is also noteworthy, and frankly hypocritical, that Ryan is not withdrawing his endorsement of Mr. Trump,

just his defense and campaign support; something he had to reiterate 45-minutes later after Republicans went ballistic over what they perceived as party treason.

It isn’t clear what Paul Ryan thought was going to happen when he withdrew his support for Trump, especially when the primary reason a perverted malcontent like Trump is the party nominee is Republican extremism.

Republicans have spent the past eight years cultivating Trump’s current base of support and that pandering to, and embrace of extremists is now paying dividends Republicans don’t want or need.

Ryan should have expected outrage from his fellow Republicans in Congress after he was heckled and booed (https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/wisconsin-trump-supporters-support-unharmed-by-vulgarity/2016/10/08/880907ea-8d84-11e6-8cdc-4fbb1973b506_story.html) by his Republican base when Trump failed to appear at a campaign rally in Ryan’s congressional district just three days ago.It is certain that no-one, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, was surprised that Trump lashed out at his announcement that his focus would be on congressional races and not on the party standard bearer. Trump angrily tweeted (https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/785530928256933888) that,

The pushback from Ryan’s fellow Republicans in the House was more direct and inflammatory. California congressman and Trump supporter Dana Rohrabacher attacked Ryan and other Republicans abandoning Trump as “cowards,”

Trent Franks (AZ), :lol used graphic language to describe abortions and said

“that allowing Mrs. Clinton into the White House would end with fetuses being destroyed limb from limb.”

they are ardent supporters of Trump’s idea of punishing women who have made the decision to terminate a pregnancy.

The dilemma for all Republicans is that if they completely disavow all fealty to Donald Trump, the maniac whose supporters make up the largest share of the Republican base, they risk alienating (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/11/us/politics/republican-reaction-trump.html?smprod=nytcore-ipad&smid=nytcore-ipad-share)those voters and losing their jobs.

Republicans have spent the past eight years either pandering to extremist conservatives or embracing policy positions they know are contrary to what America is about.

And,
it all began as an official Republican protest and rejection of the people’s choice of Barack Obama as President.

They have propped up bigots to secure the electoral support of the religious right and white supremacists, and

became bonafide misogynists to sate the anti-choice and anti-equal rights for women crowd ensconced in the evangelical movement.

In rmt's defense, most conservatives have been drilled in their heads that a country's economy is like a household economy..... skipping right past that whole part where countries create their own currencies, that currency value is dependent on other currencies' value, and the entire dynamics that generates, including inflation, deflation, etc, which has nothing in common with a household economy or a business.

Ben Carson Tells Brianna Keilar It's Her Problem She Hasn't Heard Enough Dirty Talk (http://crooksandliars.com/2016/10/ben-carson-tells-cnns-keiler-not-hearing)

Carson lamely said, "Well, we all tend to change, but remember, 11 years ago, he's a billionaire playboy."
Wait, what?

No Ben, Donald Trump was an almost sixty year old, married man with a pregnant wife.

That's not a description of a billionaire playboy. The tape describes him as a perverted a-hole, who preys on and sexually abuses women because he thinks he's above it all being a celebrity.

And then Dr. Carson dug himself deeper into the den of iniquity.

Keiler asked again. "Why did you call it locker room talk?

Carson annoyingly replied, "Call it whatever you need to call it to make it feel good to you."

How do you call "grabbing a p***y" differently to make you feel better?

Brianna continued, "Dr. Carson, you said say whatever you need to say about it to make it feel good to me or to the viewer, but that's not the viewer's job. To try to come up with some way characterize this to make it feel good for them. This is what it is. Why did you call it locker room talk?"

Carson replied, "Don't mischaracterize what I'm saying. What I am saying is that, that kind of banter goes around all the time."

Paul Ryan faces a nearly impossible task (http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/paul-ryan-needs-trump-more-than-trump-needs-ryan/): a majority of GOP voters like Trump; a majority of all voters don’t.

natesilver: I mean, what if we’ve reached a point where the white nationalist coalition is the largest plurality in the GOP?

[Winehole23]

julia: The cost of drafting me without warning is that I’m going to geek out. The Democrats until the 1930s had the “two-thirds” rule for nominations (http://www.jstor.org/stable/40574468), which gave the South a veto on presidential nominations. They lost that under FDR. The South went apeshit.

natesilver: The difference between the New Deal-era Democrats and today’s Republicans is that the Democrats had a much larger footprint than Republicans do now.

micah: What does that mean?

natesilver: It used to be that 40 or 50 percent of the country identified as Democrats, I think, in part because you had both Northern Democrats and Southern Democrats who didn’t agree on all that much but both called themselves Democrats.
Now, Republicans are 25 to 35 percent of the country, depending on how you measure it. So if 15 percent of the country consists of white nationalists, they have way more impact in a 30-percent coalition than in a 45-percent one.

GOP Senator Says Grabbing A Woman’s Genitals Is Not Sexual Assault

“So if you grab a woman by the genitals, that’s not sexual assault?” the reporter asked Sessions.

“I don’t know,” the senator replied. “It’s not clear that he — how that would occur.”

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-sessions-trump-sexual-assault_us_57fbb902e4b068ecb5e06988

Jeff, ladies gonads are inside, so yes, not sure sure how "that would occur", but their labia are external sexual elements, and if you get inside their panties, and the labia minora are the flappy type, you might be able to grab them.

I heard one lady say "grabbing them by the pussy" is OK because of so many titty bars and strip joints now.

Well, just try grabbing a stripper by her pussy and see how titty bar security goons react.

In rmt's defense, most conservatives have been drilled in their heads that a country's economy is like a household economy..... skipping right past that whole part where countries create their own currencies, that currency value is dependent on other currencies' value, and the entire dynamics that generates, including inflation, deflation, etc, which has nothing in common with a household economy or a business.

If this is the way most conservatives think then God help them. Trump has been involved in over 6000 lawsuits in the past 3 years. How can one possibly complain about government red tape with Trump in charge? He would just bull through the constitution and Congress would be totally bogged down with their already overwhelming penchant for legal investigations. The business model makes no sense in government on multiple levels.

More sexist, misogynist, objectifying shit from the King of Shit

Donald Trump rated women's beauty and looks and asked for their breast size, former Apprentice contestant claims

A former contestant on The Apprentice has accused Donald Trump of making sexist remarks on the show.

His comments come after a former producer said there were "far worse behind the scenes tapes from that show" (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-elections/donald-trump-audio-tapes-hillary-clinton-second-debate-us-presidential-election-latest-live-a7352541.html) than the video of Mr Trump bragging about groping women (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-elections/donald-trump-gets-caught-making-vulgar-comments-in-2005-a7351346.html).

Gene Folkes, a contestant on the show in 2010, said that Mr Trump was initially "quite charming and engaging", but quickly began to comment on the contestant's looks.

He even claims Mr Trump asked one contestant about her breasts and breast size.

"He was talking about smart people, and then he'll go into their beauty and their looks," he said.

"He asked us guys to rate the beauty of the women. I think this may have been on day one of filming. And then he asked the women to rate us."

Mr Trump had a "very bully mentality," he added. "You couldn't stop him even if you wanted to."

Texas Police Chief Vows to Punish Officers in Trump Caps

San Antonio's police chief is vowing to discipline more than a dozen officers seen in a Donald Trump campaign video wearing "Make America Great Again" caps while in uniform.

In a statement posted to the city's Twitter account, Chief William McManus says the officers "displayed poor judgment" and violated city policy. McManus says they "will be disciplined appropriately," but didn't elaborate.

The San Antonio Express-News reports a video on Trump's Twitter account shows at least 14 members of his motorcycle escort wearing the signature red caps after escorting Trump to San Antonio International Airport on Tuesday. In the 25-second video, Trump is heard saying "Thank you, fellas" to the officers. Several officers then thank the Republican presidential nominee and gave him a thumbs-up sign

Bill Clinton: Trump's 'standard redneck' base is what I grew up in
Bill Clinton suggested this week that GOP nominee Donald Trump's base is comprised mostly of "rednecks."

"The other guy's base is what I grew up in," the former president said during a campaign stop in Fort Meyers, Fla. "You know, I'm basically your standard redneck."

The former president also recounted a moment during the 2016 Democratic primary when he went to campaign for Hillary Clinton in West Virginia – a state that they lost and predicted they would lose long before voting even took place.

"[S]he said, 'There's no way that we can carry it,' and I said, 'No way,'" Clinton said Tuesday, recounting a conversation he had with his wife about campaigning in Mountain State.

O'Reilly Defends Hillary Clinton and Trump's Head Nearly Explodes


Trump's milkshake pal is skeptical about Trump's plan to reach out to women.

He also disagreed with O’Reilly on developing a strategy for winning back “women [voters] who were offended by the recent exposition from Access Hollywood.”

“Have you a plan to get those women back?” O’Reilly asked.


Trump did not.

“First of all, locker room talk,” Trump said in response, reciting his stock claim about his recorded bragging about sexually assaulting women.

“What women want is they want secure borders, they want safety, they want law and order… they want justice for all, they want a lot of things everybody else wants,” Trump diverted.

Trump then went down the familiar road of blaming Hillary Clinton for women’s lack of safety, despite severely lagging behind her with the demographic. And Bill O’Reilly, just six minutes into the interview, lost patience.

"When you’re Secretary of State, and I’m not making excuses, you’re working for the boss [meaning President Obama],” O’Reilly said of Clinton. Trump did not like that interjection.

“Hold it Bill,” Trump ranted.

“That’s on Obama,” O’Reilly repeated. “When you’re President, you’re going to tell your Secretary of State and they’ll do it or you’ll fire them.”

‘Unshackled’ Trump goes completely batsh*t — here are the 4 most insane moments from today’s rally

1.) Trump said there was something fishy about the fact that Ryan didn’t call him to congratulate him on his debate performance on Sunday night.

“There’s a whole deal going on and we’re going to figure this out,” Trump said of Ryan. “There’s a whole sinister deal going on.”

2.) Trump attacks the Commission for Presidential Debates, which he said had treated him unfairly.

“I have no respect for that group by the way, I’m done,” he said while railing against them.

3.) Trump quintuples down on his assertion that Obama is the “founder” of ISIS.

Trump has shifted back and forth about whether he’s really serious in his assertion that President Obama “founded” the Islamic State terrorist group. On Wednesday, he once again let the world know that he wasn’t really kidding.

4.) Trump continued to whine about the quality of the microphone he had at the first presidential debate.

“I couldn’t talk because my mic didn’t work,” said Trump, despite the fact that the TV audience could hear him just fine.

Donald Trump's GOP civil war

Panama City, Florida (CNN)Donald Trump is tearing the Grand Old Party apart.

The tension that has simmered in the Republican Party for years -- shutting down the government and nearly bringing the nation to default -- escalated into an outright civil war Tuesday.

The conflict not only threatens the party's ability to make any realistic attempt at reclaiming the White House next month, but also previews the conflicts and divides that could consume the GOP for years to come if Trump loses.

On one side is Trump, who spent much of Tuesday lashing out on social media at his GOP foes, such as Speaker Paul Ryan and Sen. John McCain, and lamenting the lack of party unity. He's backed by conservative lawmakers including Iowa Rep. Steve King and the throngs of loyal supporters who attend his rallies, including the one here in Panama City, Florida, Tuesday, where he renewed his call for a government investigation into his opponent, Hillary Clinton.

Some are even raising the potential of denying Ryan the speakership (http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/12/politics/paul-ryan-donald-trump-gop-threats/index.html) after the election.

On the other side is Ryan, who is devoting the full resources of his stature to maintaining a congressional majority. That dominance of Capitol Hill is suddenly threatened -- and not just in the Senate, where there are many competitive races, but also in the House, where the GOP majority was considered untouchable until recently.

The infighting -- sparked by the release Friday of a 2005 video depicting Trump describing women in vulgar and sexually aggressive terms -- isn't likely to ease in the 27 days before Election Day.

Trump made clear Tuesday that if he loses in November, he won't go down quietly -- or alone.

And

by blaming Republican leaders

for their failure to wholeheartedly endorse his campaign, Trump also opens up the possibility of

a face-saving excuse if he crashes to defeat in November.

the estrangement between Trump and the party leaders is blowing open a gaping split between the party's grass roots

Forging unity could be impossible if hordes of Trump voters blame party leaders for the defeat of a man who electrified the grass roots supporters in a way no other Republican has managed in decades.

King, the Iowa Republican congressman, warned Tuesday that

a purge of party elites might be necessary,

saying "the establishment wing of the party could simply be amputated out in this effort that's going on right now."

The meltdown in the GOP is the culmination of forces that have been building for years.

Intense antipathy towards congressional leaders over their failure to more forcefully oppose President Barack Obama gave rise to the Tea Party and sent waves of anti-establishment lawmakers to Washington in successive elections.

Trump's turn against his own party could also reverberate in down-ballot races. Republicans have long known that their hold on the Senate was tenuous -- whoever ran at the top of their ticket -- but Trump's slumping poll numbers now threaten to drag down vulnerable incumbents too.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/12/politics/republicans-us-election/

"grass roots" ? ASTRO-TURF roots financed by BigMoney/VRWC

"failure to more forcefully oppose President Barack Obama" ??? Repugs have OBSTRUCTED EVERYTHING from Obama/Dems

is "more forcefully" implying a "2nd Amendment solution" ?

We can see it all now:

Trash gets destroyed by a aging, homely, overweight WOMAN (as opposed to beauty contestant, trophy wife, arm candy) so Trash, always a winner in his own sick mind, blames Repug establishment for stealing his victory.

Sicko Trash is NEVER at fault.

You realize that this is the main problem for the GOP, right? A majority of Americans oppose Trump, but a majority of GOP supporters back Trump. So the party is caught between a rock and a hard place. Ryan did the only thing he could do: asked congressmen to do what would help them more in their individual district. Rs who need moderates to win are spurning Trump, and those who need the base more are supporting him.

That should be just about enough to retain the House and continue the politics of obstruction. They've already written off the Presidency and are likely to lose the Senate. The GOP is reaping a bitter harvest after decades of using propaganda and bigotry to rile up their uninformed base.

[boutons_deux]

the Repug base, electing the House teabaggin Freedom Caucus and similar in the Senate, has been solidified, strengthened and protected as "safe" by state laws and regs written by ALEC and SPN, State Policy Network, and other VRWC stink tanks, and by the Kock Bros political machine.

All those VRWC orgs are funded by BigCorp, not by grass roots losers.

Those "model" laws, often passed verbatim, show how to gerrymander (redmap), how to shutdown poor women's health clinics, how to suppress the vote, how to defund public schools (killing teacher unions) while funding charter schools, etc, etc.

iow, the Trash side of the Repug civil war is totally the creation of the BigCorp's $Bs.

Likely to lose the senate seems like a stretch right now, as fivethirtyeight has it as roughly a coin flip with a slight edge to the democrats based on their polls+forecast, which seemed to have an excellent track record in the last two elections. Although I guess the betting markets give the Democrats better odds: 63.5% for the senate and 24% for the house according to John Stossel's page.

I wonder how much importance the fivethirtyeight model gives to the "coattail" effect - the correlation between the Presidential vote and the Senate vote. This correlation has increased in recent elections. The Princeton model, for example, takes this into account and gives the Dems a 77% chance of winning the Senate. Trump might encourage more ticket-splitting but the actual correlation usually ends up stronger than the polling indicates.

Don't be in denial. You're better than that. You know deep down all the other Repubs running had way less baggage than her and would have knocked her out on election night. Don't fall for your false god. Outside of Slick Willy, he was the biggest dirtbag in the 90s. No amount of empty promises on his part can change who he really is.


Cruz idk about him. He is crazier than Trump, Jeb Bush probably would had stood the best chance if his last name were something else. Carson is too nice, Kasich I think could had beaten Clinton. But the race was already so tied up between Trump and Cruz fighting, by the time Kasich started gaining a little ground it was already too late. Trump is what Obama was to his supporters. He is their night in shining armor except he's a idiot who has baggage, who has a big mouth.

As Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign still works to move past arecently released 2005 tape (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-defends-lewd-2005-conversation-about-women-as-locker-room-banter/) of his lewd remarks about women, more and more footage of similar comments made by Trump is surfacing.

In an “Entertainment Tonight” Christmas feature in 1992, Trump looked at a group of 10-year-old girls and said he would be dating one of them in ten years. At the time, Trump would have been 46 years old.

(http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/video-surfaces-of-donald-trumps-lewd-remarks-about-women)
The video, released Wednesday evening, was shot at Trump Tower. In the clip, Trump asks one of the 10-year-old girls if she’s “going up the escalator.” When the girl replies, “yeah,” Trump turns to the camera and says: “I am going to be dating her in 10 years. Can you believe it?”

Crooked Hillary?

Snyder's "Unconscionable" Use of Millions in Taxpayer Money for Criminal Defense Fees Questioned

"I can't think of a clearer conflict of interest than the governor signing a contract to provide his own personal legal defense … without anybody providing oversight," attorney said.

asking a grand jury (http://www.wxyz.com/news/flint-resident-seeks-grand-jury-probe-of-michigan-gov-rick-snyder) to look into whether Gov. Rick Snyder illegally used $2 million in taxpayer money for his legal fees related to the disaster.

"After what has happened in this city, it's just a slap in the face," said (http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/flint-resident-requests-grand-jury-investigation-of-gov-rick-snyder%20) 46-year-old Keri Webber, adding (http://michiganradio.org/post/complaint-says-gov-snyder-improperly-hired-legal-defense-team) that she finds it "unacceptable and unconscionable" for city residents to "pa[y] for the defense of the very man at the center of the whole issue."

"Snyder did not have the proper legal authority to enter into the contract and violated a constitutional prohibition against public officials engaging in transactions that create a conflict of interest."

I don't think that is too far from the truth.

This election certainly makes me ALMOST buy in to conspiracy theories. It is almost like a group of shadowy string-pullers were sitting around the room saying "how can we get Hillary elected"?

"well we have to find someone even more disliked than she is, that even she could defeat"

"I know, how about Trump"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa"

"Brilliant JEEVES...."

Trump is such a shit stain of a candidate.

What happened backstage at Miss Teen USA with ‘creepy’ Donald Trump and naked teenagers



Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fusuncut.com%2Fpolitics% 2Ftrump-backstage-miss-teen-usa-creepy%2F)Twitter (https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=What%20happened%20backstage%20at%20Miss %20Teen%20USA%20with%20%E2%80%98creepy%E2%80%99%20 Donald%20Trump%20and%20naked%20teenagers&url=https://usuncut.com/politics/trump-backstage-miss-teen-usa-creepy/)






Donald Trump’s sexually predatory behavior became more pronounced during Miss Teen USA beauty pageants, according to contestants.
In recent interviews with BuzzFeed, four women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA contest alleged the 2016 GOP presidential nominee walked in and lurked around the dressing room while the young girls in the pageant were barely covered. Some of the contestants that year were as young as 15 (https://www.buzzfeed.com/kendalltaggart/teen-beauty-queens-say-trump-walked-in-on-them-changing?utm_term=.cczpWgqWa#.cl8xoaPoE). Mariah Billado, former Vermont Miss Teen USA, recalled one instance where she had to quickly put on a dress because she realized a man was present in the dressing room.

“Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before,” Billado recalled Trump saying.
While 11 other contestants that year told BuzzFeed they didn’t recall seeing the billionaire real estate magnate in the dressing room, three women who refused to be quoted on the record in order to avoid being bombarded by media said, like Billado, they were forced to quickly cover up after seeing Trump walk into the dressing room unannounced, calling his behavior “shocking” and “creepy.” (https://www.buzzfeed.com/kendalltaggart/teen-beauty-queens-say-trump-walked-in-on-them-changing?utm_term=.cczpWgqWa#.cl8xoaPoE)

Trump walking in on nude and nearly-nude beauty pageant contestants seems to be a recurring pattern of behavior for the reality TV star and GOP nominee. Last spring, Bridget Sullivan, a former Miss New Hampshire competing in Trump’s Miss USA pageant in 2000 told BuzzFeed (https://www.buzzfeed.com/jessicagarrison/we-were-all-naked-when-donald-trump-walked-in?utm_term=.mowx8pD8w#.sl8pO2QOx) that Trump walked into the dressing room and stared at contestants while they changed.

“We were all naked,” Sullivan recalled.
