I am so thankful this year that I don’t watch TV and can pick and choose when I have to listen to his vileness and I am going to do everything I can to make sure that holds true after the election.
It’s early October. There’s a mountain of vile shit we haven’t seen yet about The Donald’s™ chicanery.
When you put the ball on a tee, it’s awful hard to miss.
Even before this, I was 99.9% convinced that Trump’s humiliation of Alicia Machado was because he tried to hit on her and she shut him down.
Now, I’m 115% convinced. Alicia, we’re ready to believe you if you have something to tell us…

And yet, the profiles in courage by GOPers is astounding.
Ryan wont have Trump at his appearance, but wont revoke endorsement.
McCain wont unendorse.
On and on it goes. People trying to distance themselves from Trump, but not withdrawing endorsements.
At the end of the day - it’s the endorsements that count. That’s the GOP’s lasting legacy here. The GOP was given the opportunity to do oppo research against Trump in the primaries and failed to do so. They enabled his assent to the nomination. They’ve stood behind him at the highest levels despite clear signs he’s a bigot, misogynist, and anti Semite.
But now, when there’s clear and unequivocal evidence of being a sexual predator??No, we need to distance ourselves, but not too far because we’ll continue with our endorsements.

I now have a 100.6 fever and have had muscle aches and fatigue all day. Right now I’m laying on the couch reading you guys, watching the baseball etc. I’m sore as hell but I don’t feel awful, just sore and tired. How long will these symptoms last?
So the Republicans are meeting to decide what to do “in case Trump is not our nominee.”
Here’s what to do Republicans—put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye. YOU made him your nominee. YOU endorsed and promoted him. YOU sucked up his insults and degradation. YOU even put the kibosh on the anti-Trump peep at YOUR convention.
YOU OWN IT, Republicans. He’s all yours. And worse, he’s all YOU.

In all seriousness, a day isn’t all that unusual. The fever is pretty high and if it continues much longer, I’d probably go to the ER, but otherwise, stay hydrated and get as much sleep as you can and you should hopefully feel better within a couple of days.

I think the answer is that too many people simply believe what they want to believe, independent of any reality or evidence to the contrary. So when the GOP establishment sold many of the rubes in the US the toxic and stupid idea that their bad prospects were the fault of ‘others’, this false belief was latched onto with fury and desperation that has produced Trump.
re: #100 Belafon
There’s you a constitutional crisis. What happens to a presidential candidate without a running mate? Can he even run at that point?
There’s no Constitutional requirement that a Presidential candidate have a running mate. (Indeed, the Electoral College originally designated the top two candidates to be President and VP… yeah, the 12th Amendment put a quick stop to that.) Besides, he’s still going to be on the ballot, so he’s not actually meaningfully withdrawing anyway. He can just quit, as Bill Weld has publicly considered vis-a-vis Gary Johnson.

re: #116 thedopefishlives
I’m not even sure she should. If Donald brings it up, I’d hammer him on it, but if I were her, I’d probably leave it alone. He’s just going to get defensive and go on about her “insult-driven campaign”, and why bother with the effort of refuting that? Just don’t even bring it up and let him destroy himself.
I agree. I don’t think she will, and I stick by my earlier statement that if he tries to bring up Bill, she can just point out how he’s trying to blame the wife for the husband’s actions.

One of my clients is in NC. One of their team had a real terrible day yesterday. Her daughter was sick at school, so she had to run out from work to go get her… then after work, she was busy packing up to evacuate. I found out this morning that her husband was stuck in town and is going to have to ride it out. Ugh. I couldn’t imagine living in hurricane country. Then again, they probably wonder how I live in a place where the wind occasionally picks up to 300 miles per hour.

It is long past time to start looking real seriously at those sexual assault allegations at Trump.
Trump’s views on other people have become crystal clear. For him, they fall into three categories:
1) Marks to be swindled.
2) Holes to fuck.
3) Irrelevant.
I don’t want Trump to quit. I want him to be humiliated, along with his enablers, which I consider the entirety of the Republican Party—the Teabaggers, the Christianists, the Nazis, the white supremecists, the xenophobes, the anti-semites, the anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-science, anti-everything gang.

Right now I’m laying on the couch reading you guys, watching the baseball etc. I’m sore as hell but I don’t feel awful, just sore and tired. How long will these symptoms last?
I had that a few years ago after eating some chili mac I left unrefrigerated longer than I should have. Once I threw up (I tried to avoid it as long as possible—don’t do that) I felt a lot better, but was feverish and headachey all the next day. After that I was OK.

10 secs, eh? Was there any legitimate attribution? I already know the answer to this, knowing the players involved and the timing, but I was curious if they were seriously trying to pass this off as legitimate, or if it was literally a pretend email full of pretend quotes of non-transcripts.
It was another big nothing, with some obvious forgeries mixed in. I don’t think even Fox bought it.

re: #198 EPR-radar
It’s hard to say how the numbers actually break down, but I think a good fraction of these GOP sociopaths are totally indifferent to anything except their marginal tax rates. If they were all or mostly true believers in GOP propaganda, I think there’d be more signs of this from corporate America. There’s a CEO here and there that’s a true believing wingnut, but that seems to be a small fraction of Republican corporate executives.
Then they’re not only sociopaths, but they’re stupid sociopaths.
“The superiority of economic performance under
Democrats rather than Republicans is nearly ubiquitous; it holds
almost regardless of how you define success.” Fact-checking
groups have investigated similar statements and have found time
and time again that they are true. Moreover, past research shows
that stock market returns are also higher under Democrats.

Told my husband about Trump’s comments and he was horrified. He said that he never engaged in that kind of talk and didn’t hang around other guys who talked like that. If some jackass happened to make a disgusting remark in front of him, he always told them to knock it off, that wasn’t acceptable. So, no. All men don’t do it. Only men who don’t respect women.

If these “real men” advocates were smart, they’d realize that it takes more of a man to woo a woman than to force himself on her.
