OMG...Steve Schmidt (a Republican who is sick of what has happened to his party) just said on MSNBC that Donald Trump, who yesterday said he would not want to be in a foxhole with John McCain....has bragged that HIS "Viet Nam" was avoiding getting the clap during the Studio 54 years in New York City.

This is the lowest....absolutley.

I'd love for him to say taht to Keoni's face...who did three tours in Viet Nam and kept America safe so that shitheel Donald Trump could party down at Studio 54.

They tried to use that against him in the primaries and it didn't stick. I'm waiting for people to start screaming about him ogling nude teenage girls at those pageants who were under 16 years old. But hey, WikiLeaks

Immediately after women came forward with reports of being groped by Trump, his team is trying to denigrate them by saying they went to Hillary first with these stories and her team contacted the media...because why ELSE would they not have spoken out sooner and just now come forward after all this time?

Well....maybe...because like me when my high school typing class instructer rubbed his penis on my back while leaning over me to instruct me how to replace the ribbon on my typewriter, they were horrified and afraid to speak out against a man with authority.

Jesus H Christ...one of Trump's surrogate blondes , A J Delgado, has just claimed to be a victim of sexual assault HERSELF and is STILL trashing the women who have come forward about Trump groping, kissing, and assaulting them. SHE thinks these women are spinless because they never came forward before NOW.

Well, AJ...why have YOU never come forward before now? Hmmmmm?

46591. judithathome - 10/14/2016 11:56:21 PM

Spineless....

46592. judithathome - 10/16/2016 9:56:17 PM

I'm watching the Sunday Talk Shows and feel like I need a shower...seeing the WOMEN defending Trump makes me feel dirty.

46593. judithathome - 10/16/2016 10:22:46 PM

Good god almighty...do ALL these Trump cheerleaders that come on political talk shows get hooked up to the Kellyanne "Segue to Hillary Electroshock Button"???

Just saw a RAPE COUNSELOR who went into her medical career (she allegedly is a doctor) because she had been raped....she was taking up for Trump! Everytime the show's host (a woman) would press her on the women coming forward...(after this woman had admitted that when she was raped, she only told her husband)...this alleged "rape counselor" was expressing her skepticism about the "timing" of these women coming forward with allegations about Trump's sexual assaults and every question to her about that subject was brushed aside and she referred, instead, to Hillary and her support for regimes that kill women.

The world has gone absolutely MAD.....

Well, another day closer to the election and since it's a new week, all the Hillary haters can thank their new god, Julian Assange, for releasing even more hacked stuff on Hillary. Obviously, he and Putin are working to get Trump elected.

And the hacked stuff seems to be getting worse and worse. Of course, ALL leaked stuff is absoluely true unless it is voice recordings of Trump acting like a pig and THEN, it will all be labelled false...or badly misunderstood...or "rigged".

I know it ain't over until the fat lady sings but but she is certainly warming up in the wings and looks strangely like Rudy Guiliani in drag.

John Oliver slayed the two "other candidates" on his show last night...he played a lot of tape on them both and I'll tell you what: people keep saying it's a choice between the lesser of two evils but as Oliver said last night...it's actually between the lesser of FOUR evils...

I know his show is comedy but when he played actual newsfilm of their apprearences...it was really THEM. We've all heard Johnson making snafus about Aleppo etc. but it is horrifying to hear some of his statements about policy...I don't know how New Mexico is still viable after he served 2 terms as Governor....and Jill Stein...Oliver played some of her singing with her New Agey rock band and the lyrics were absolutely dreadful...written by her.

But the MOST horrific thing was seeing some of her ideas for governance voiced out loud....most made no sense whatsoever...and after hearing Johnsons ridiculous "get rid of ALL taxes" goobledy-gook, the bar for making sense was pretty low.

Oliver's show... Last Week Tonight ...is re-run several times throughout the week so catch it if you can...

Meanwhile, here's a little taste...

Man Halperin is stupid.

That's going to be my Carthage must be destroyed mantra until the election.

46597. iiibbb - 10/18/2016 3:00:27 AM

Also, how sad is it that comedy shows have the most in-depth policy snapshots of anything on TV?

46598. judithathome - 10/18/2016 9:21:00 PM

Probably because most of the comdeians are Democrats.

I'm not sure I can spend two more days of class time on these debates. I don't now what my students are really getting out of it even when I make them write down stuff to fact check later. Craziness.

46600. arkymalarky - 10/20/2016 12:40:02 AM

I'm not touching it where I live. The kids can't handle it, and it's not worth it to me.

46601. arkymalarky - 10/20/2016 12:42:37 AM

And the debates are so totally content free, even if they can have content on one side because Hillary can't get a word in edgewise to actually talk about what people want to talk about.

46602. judithathome - 10/20/2016 1:35:28 AM

Well, you guys need to watch tonight because it will be historic...all day long, the cable shows have been "baiting" him with predictions of utter meltdown that will make him sink even lower in the polls...which they refer to as "tanking", "crashing", etc.

I think of it as "must see" TV...like the William F.Buckley/GoreVidal debates and the ones between Kennedy and Nixon...trust me, Trump is going to go into meltdown mode and you will want to see this!

46603. judithathome - 10/20/2016 2:43:19 AM

Tomorrows headlines for Trump: "Absolute Fail".

46604. arkymalarky - 10/20/2016 5:47:13 AM

Got a bad bronchial infection, can't sleep, but the cnn snap poll looks good. I'll just be glad when this election is over. I've had who I was for and who I was against, but never in my life if I had someone that I just knew would be a disaster for our whole institution if he became president. He may be a disaster for it anyway. Steve Schmidt tearing up last night on the 11th Hour was a very touching thing, and he was so right.

Omg...I saw that and had liked him before but now, I absolutely adore him. He was, prior to this, one of the best Republicans...and one I could STAND...they have lost a great man.

46606. judithathome - 10/20/2016 6:29:17 AM

Trump lost this debate at hour 1, minute seven.

From there he went steadily downhill. And his absolute nadir was "Such a nasty woman."
