Eric Trump and Kellyanne Conway Tweet Link to Fake News Site to Attack Hillary Clinton

Politics • Views: 51,371

Yes, this really happened today. Both Eric Trump and Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, tweeted a link to one of those fake news sites, to accuse Hillary Clinton of paying protesters to show up at Donald Trump’s rallies.

They’ve both deleted their tweets now, but here are the screenshots.

“abcnews​.com​.co” is a fake news site designed to look like ABC News. It’s a click-bait enterprise that exists to trick people into spreading their fake stories by preying on confirmation bias. And they found some very willing and gullible marks in Kellyanne Conway and Eric Trump.

This isn’t just sloppiness. It’s pure desperation, because Donald Trump’s poll numbers are headed for the bottom of the ocean, and they’re grasping at straws to attack the Clinton campaign as woman after woman comes forward to say Donald Trump groped, kissed, or ogled them without their consent.

If Shonda Rhimes had scripted the 2016 campaign as a season of Scandal, it would’ve been rejected as too preposterous, and Trump as being too over-the-top a villain. I can hardly wait to see what new twists and turns the last four weeks of episodes bring.

If that was a lie, then there are women out there who know it’s a lie. They won’t like that, and some of them will go to the press. That seems to be the story here.

The infamous butler

I was stunned. And I was grateful when Trump’s longtime butler burst into the room a minute later, as I tried to unpin myself.

The butler informed us that Melania would be down momentarily, and it was time to resume the interview. I was still in shock, and remained speechless as we both followed him to an outdoor patio overlooking the grounds. In those few minutes alone with Trump, my self-esteem crashed to zero. How could the actions of one man make feel so utterly violated? I’d been interviewing A-list celebrities for over 20 years, but what he’d done was a first. Did he think I’d be flattered?

I hope they do the Law and Order SVU episode on Trump within the next couple of weeks.

As long as the Clinton campaign and the MSM doesn’t over-sell the stories (e.g., as Rather did in Rathergate), there shouldn’t be any real problem. Besides, RWNJs are too stupid to act the part (remember the idiot who scratched a letter into her face using a mirror and then claimed that a black rapist/Democrat did it?)

That, and also each of Trump’s GOP rivals needed to get many of Trump’s supporters on board to have a chance of winning the primary. So they all handled him with kid gloves hoping to be able to pick up the Trump voters after Trump magically disappeared. Cruz was the most repellently obvious about it, affixing himself to Trump like a remora at the anus of a shark.

Why did the media let it drop? And why didn’t the media pursue any of these stories before one month before the election? Donald Trump has always been a disgusting pig. Everyone in NY has known it for decades, and the media has been hearing these stories just as long.

This might not be a popular opinion, but I’m pissed that it’s coming out now, because I think it devalues what is going to be Hillary’s historic election. It will go down as “oh, Trump was so badly damaged at the end, anyone could have beaten him.”

Don’t get me wrong—I’m glad that these women are feeling strong enough to finally speak out, but the media glee at the salaciousness of the stories is making me sick to my stomach. And they (the media) should have been shouting all of his many other sickening activities and actions instead of playing MBF for the past year and waiting breathlessly for ” the pivot.”

In short:
Donald Trump is and always has been a repulsive asshole
The media are lazy, sensationalist jackals
Hillary is a supremely qualified, quality candidate and person, and she should be being lauded for her campaign, her life and her policies, not reduced to “well, it has to be Hillary because Trump is too terrible to contemplate.”

As a practical matter, if the sex scandals damage Trump’s campaign so deeply that millions of GOP voters stay home November 8, we could have a wave election that produces a Democratic Congress. That is the only way any legislation to move the nation forward will be enacted over the next two years. Unfortunately, the media and the electorate aren’t going to hold the GOP responsible for its scapegoating; it takes the victimization of white women to do that.

re: #74 calochortus

With any luck Hillary will leave an excellent legacy after 8 years and no one will much care about the election beyond the weirdness of it all.

I truly hope that’s the case, but if tonight’s breathless media hype is any indication, they won’t stop talking about Trump for a long time.

I remember when the Bill/Monica story broke and took over the news for eons. I didn’t really care that much about the actual “affair,” I was mostly pissed that it totally handcuffed his administration from accomplishing much of anything while the furor continued.

Now that Olbermann’s back on everyone’s radar, his recollection of covering the Bill/Monica crap (from a commencement speech he gave at Cornell in 1998)

Since Jan. 21 the news program I do for the MSNBC cable network has been devoted to what we have euphemistically called “the Clinton-Lewinsky investigations.” Virtually every night, for an hour, sometimes two, I have presided over discussions about this stuff, so intricate, so repetitive, that it has assumed the characteristics of the medieval religious scholars arguing for months and even years over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

At first I genuinely believed this was a relevant matter for fairly constant discussion. I used my moral force to keep sex out of it whenever possible. I didn’t allow the word “scandal” or even “affair” to be used. I tried to be non-partisan and skeptical about both the accused and the accusers.

But as the weeks have gone by, it has become more and more clear to me that there is no moral force at work in this process, whatsoever. Nobody is doing the right thing…

my network starts covering this story 28 hours out of every 24, and six days after the story breaks more people watch my show than watch my old show Sportscenter. And while I’m having the dry heaves in the bathroom because my moral sensor is going off but I can’t even hear it, I’m so seduced by these ratings that I go along with them when they say do this not just one hour a night, but two, thus bringing my own skills and talents to bear on the process by which the snowball runs faster and faster down the hill…

About three weeks ago I awakened from my stupor on this subject and told my employers that I simply could not continue doing this show about the endless investigation and the investigation of the investigation, and the investigation of the investigation of the investigation. I had to choose what I felt in my heart was right over what I felt in my wallet was smart…

He left shortly thereafter.

We SHOULD gain control of Congress. But that’s done by tying people to Trump. Finding every possible thing to be outraged just makes it all about Trump. Take one thing, like him walking in on half-dressed 15 year old girls, and strap that around the neck of every asshole supporting him. Then you own Congress. Trying to find more shit to be outraged about only dilutes it. And right now the flood-gates are open, and I worry that at some point people get oversaturated and refuse to believe it. Of course, we won’t, but we’re not the majority in this country.

Star Tribune: Choice of Trump vs. Clinton leaves evangelicals reeling
It’s created an excruciating moral dilemma for a bloc that represents about one in five voters and attend churches across Minnesota.

Evangelical Christians long have been considered a large and reliable voting bloc for GOP presidential candidates, with more than 75 percent casting Republican ballots in past three presidential races. But this year, the candidate whose platform supports their position on abortion restrictions and who holds the prospect of appointing like-minded U.S. Supreme Court justices is the same man who last week was heard saying he grabbed women’s genitals.

It’s created an excruciating moral dilemma for many evangelicals, who represent about one in five voters and attend churches across Minnesota.

Evangelicals care deeply about immigrants, the poor, the vulnerable, said Carl Nelson, president of Transform Minnesota, a coalition of 360 evangelical churches. But they’re also committed to “the sanctity of life” and their religious freedoms.

That “puts us at odds with both political parties,” he said.

Someone needs to teach these evangelicals some history lessons about their ‘sanctity of life’ belief.

Meanwhile, over in BREXIT land:

Pound touched its weakest Level in history by this measure

The British pound touched a historic low Tuesday against a basket of global currencies, meaning it has likely never been lower when measured against its trading partners.

This is relevant to the Drumpfskind movement. Some of Brexit’s biggest supporters are also Drumpfskind supporters. Note that Farage came over her to work with Drumpfskind and appear for him in various outlets.

But Brexit ultimately was not about economics but about reflexive populist nationalism. It was always going to be bad for the British economy but the supporters cared more about keep all those Poles out of their country more than about the economy.

And likewise with Drumpfksind, but instead of Eastern Europeans the boogymen are Mexicans.

We are watching the rape culture illuminated in all its glory. And suddenly we are seeing such OUTRAGE! OMG! Women and girls are being molested by a man who had power over them! What an awful guy! Yes, indeed he certainly is.

FFS, can this culture be more hypocritical at its core? Do you know any woman, any single one, who has not been groped, catcalled, ogled, or otherwise harassed? I don’t. Have you ever known any woman, a single one, who hasn’t complained at least in private to friends or family, often shaken and in tears, to be blown off as “too sensitive”, having “no sense of humor”, making a big deal out of a little tit grab? Probably not.

Yeah, I’m pissed. Pissed as hell. In this very space, right here at LGF I’ve seen it happen. I’ve seen rape culture denied, watched one guy get so incensed at just the mention of Schrodinger’s Rapist he stormed out of the room. How dare a woman be so… so… something awful to even suspect a man unknown to her could possibly have ill intent. So unfair! Oh, the humanity! But now, it’s the worst thing ever, that same behavior that has been condoned and even rewarded in our society, that every woman has been subjected to from birth that seems to be such a fucking surprise.

Oh, I’m all for his victims having their say (and their day in court). But this isn’t about them. It’s about twisting the knife until November 8th because everyone smells blood. His victims are just convenient allies at this point. Do I think Trump should get sued for every penny his asshole kids think they’ll inherit? Fuck yeah. Maybe it will happen. My guess is it won’t because that’s not what everyone is working toward at this point.

But I don’t see how that is the primary focus of everyone digging up what is readily available shit on Trump is trying to do at this point. This is a feeding frenzy.

This is more than likely why Russia is pulling its people back. They are probably about a year from pulling a Trump.

After almost two years in recession, the country’s rainy day fund has shrunk to just $32.2 billion this month, according to the Russian Finance Ministry. It was $91.7 billion in September 2014, just before oil prices started to collapse.

And it’s getting worse. Analysts expect the fund will shrink to just $15 billion by the end of this year and dry up completely soon after that.

“At the current rate, the fund would be depleted in mid-2017, perhaps a few months later,” Ondrej Schneider, chief economist at the Institute of International Finance, wrote in a note this week.

Let em think that. It means they’ll think that all they have to do in 2020 is nominate a not-Trump. There’s nothing so precious as being underestimated by the enemy.
