Now we have a "super model" (who sold her body to sell products) who claims Trump talked about breasts... da horror! Hillary is freaked out that she was being stalked by Trump at the debate... and she wants to lead a nation? Michelle Obama was shaken to her very core that Trump sexually assaulted women... but she's cool with Bill Clinton who actually rapes them. Old lady octopus is being too clever by taking about his hands finding "landing spots"... who knew sexual assault was witty? The "ugly" press chick claims Trump kissed her when his wife left the room... of course, she doesn't have the recording which all reporters make to prove it (because who would keep that?) and she lied about being Melina's friend. A beauty queen whined that he walked into the dressing room... along with the press and family and handlers and everyone else. Another beauty queen heard Trump doesn't like black people. A black winner of the Apprentice is horrified that he was asked if he wanted to share the prize when no white person was ever asked that... nor was the prior black winner of course. Trump beauty shamed some ugly chick, fat shamed some hot chick who was dating a drug dealer, and made off-color jokes unlike any man (or woman) ever. Some woman who worked with him decades ago says he seems like the kind who would sexually assault women... coincidentally, she seems like that to me too! And so on. Yawn. Very tiring. Very whiny.
Some thoughts:
1. These allegations are all whiny and reek of political convenience. Using things like sexual assault as a matter of political convenience will only further reduce the credibility of the rape and race industries. Essentially, groups like feminists are disgracing themselves by playing this game. They are showing that truth is subservient to political desire to them.
2. That the media is pushing this as if they were the most blind activists, even smearing those who protest, has wiped out any credibility they have left.
3. This is overkill. This is the woman who whined wolf-whistle. Even if some of it is true, it no longer matters because it's lost in its own noise. And yet, the Democrats show no sign of stopping because they don't understand this. (Not to mention, there is a lot of nasty stuff in the Wikileaks emails which they need to keep out of the news.)
4. Clinton is desperate if she's digging this deep, and it's hurting her. That's why she still can't get above 46% and why Trump is coming back in the polls. This is going to be an interesting election.
Thoughts?
UPDATE: The Overkill and the hypocrisy continues:
1. Obama is attacking Republicans for only caring now about Trump's nastiness, but not before. Well, before, he was a Democrat and you were cool with him when he was doing this stuff, President Assh*le.
2. Democrats booed two more women who accused Clinton of rape. Apparently, it's cool to boo rape victims now. Funny, wasn't it a sin even to question their stories only a few days ago?
3. Clinton responded with the delusional: "We've had enough of this divisive poisonous stuff." Wow, you should tell that to your loser wife and her vile friends Bill, because that's all she's spewing.
4. Joe Biden actually said that Bill Clinton's past shouldn't matter because "he paid a price," whereas Trump's past should because "he's a sexual predator." That's the kind of vile hypocrisy statement that honestly makes me wish ill Biden. Maybe Bill can give him VD.
5. A woman sent Trump pubic hair in response to the "p*ssy" video. So classy. Shows that "those who are offended" are just as bad if not worse than anything Trump did.
6. New allegations: Trump called a deaf actress "retarded." He made women walk on tables so he could look up their skirts. Yawn. Trump laughed about being called a sexual predator. Etc. etc. etc. Overkill.

Bev, I wasn't sure if you were going to publish the other article, so I put this one up.
The MSM is so rabid to discredit Trump that they are turning the whole circus into a dog bites man story that people tune out.
LL, That's what I'm thinking too. A lot of people I know that I would expect to be shocked by these allegations are just shrugging their shoulders.
Something I heard decades ago seems to fit this moment:
A single death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic.
I think that's what's happening here. They are so rabid and pushing so much BS that the public has gone numb to the whole thing.
Good point(s) -- they're locked into a frenzy of two-bit, faux outrage denunciation and it doesn't make them look good.
Will their noise drownout the W/leaks bombshells? Let's see...
LSP, That's a good question. The Wikileaks stuff seems to be getting out bit by bit and I saw my first MSM article trying to dismiss it as "something we already knew, so it's not true." So at the least, they are worried about it. But whether or not the public is actually hearing it, that I don't know. The MSM certainly is trying not to report on it.
Thanks Andrew. I prepared something about this, but I am just so disgusted by the entire hypocrisy of it I have lost all perspective. If you want to use the Tweet/video of "The View" women pretty much calling the Clintons the victims and all of Clinton's rape victims "tramps" while the audience howls in agreement, please be my guest.
All I am going to say is if Trump was this much of a lecher, WHY HASN'T ANYONE SAID ANYTHING BEFORE??? Perhaps they were playing him too.
Notice each new damning "revelation" about Trump coordinates with new damning email drops? Yesterday, the email drop exposed how the WaPo, NYT and other news orgs coordinated with Clinton and gave her team advanced warnings and final edits to their articles. That's pretty damning, but hey, TRUMP SAID SOMETHING MEAN ABOUT SOMEONE!!!!
Bev, I will tell you honestly that I have never been more disgusted by our electoral system or our elites than I have at this moment. It is truly disgusting to me that these people run this country.
On the coordination, what shocks me is not that it is happening because I think everyone on the right knew that. What shocks me is how indifferent they are to being exposed. Journalistic ethics clearly don't exist and frankly, places like CNN should need to start filing as lobbyists.
BTW, This ==> "The View" women pretty much calling the Clintons the victims and all of Clinton's rape victims "tramps" while the audience howls in agreement.
This is why I genuinely no longer care about the things the left claims to care about. They lie. They exploit. They only judge outrage based on who got hurt, not what was done. So I'm doing worrying about their ideas. They are nothing but bullshit.
Oh and Bev, don't forget. This isn't the first time The View has turned rape into a game. Remember "It wasn't rape-rape!"
Speaking of hypocrisy...
1. Obama is attacking Republicans by only caring now about Trump's nastiness, but not before. Well, before, he was a Democrat and you were cool with him assh*le.
2. Democrats booed two more women who accused Clinton of rape. Apparently, it's cool to do that now.
3. Clinton responded with the delusional: "We've had enough of this divisive poisonous stuff." Wow, you should tell that to your wife and her friends Bill, because that's all she's spewing.

6. New allegations: Trump called a deaf actress "retarded." He made women walk on tables so he could look up their skirts.
My personal favorite - emails that state that Obama knew of her private email address/and has been reported using it with a pseudonym, but gosh darnit he didn't know about any "private server"! But again...TRUMP MADE PEOPLE FEEL BAD!!!!
Andrew - I read about the "We've had enough of this divisive poisonous stuff." Sadly, it made me laugh...you know, one of those maniacal laughs you would here in "The Snake Pit"-type movies right before the "treatment" door closes and then all you hear are a crescendo of agonizing screams and then silence...;-D
Bev, Isn't is shocking? It really is Orwell come to life. It's something we don't want to believe to be possible, yet her it is. And it explains so much about places like Nazi Germany. People always ask how the Germans could have looked past Hitler's crimes. Same thing here. The Clintons deny what everyone knows is true and their followers accept that as the official fact even though they knew it's false because it preserves their hero in their eyes.
I guess we shouldn't be surprise though as self-delusion is a big part of our economy -- diet pills, "I'm Ok You're Ok" books, conspiracy theories, racism/sexism/-ism held me down!, etc. Reality is what we want it to be and don't you dare suggest otherwise.
As an ironic aside, if Clinton wins, she will have the most corrupt administration in history before she even performs an official act. She is essentially an archetype of corruption and flaws all wrapped up in a witches body with a Sears clothing department dress sense.
It's just that we have spent that few year hearing about how any kind of unasked for words/touching is considered rape and rape is bad and anyone who is accused of rape must be guilty because women never lie about these things...
Only to be met with "...except for Bill Clinton. He is just too damn likable to have ever willing touched another woman in anyway without getting full permission in a verbal/plausible deniability kinda' way. And he's not running for anything anyway and Hillary is the victim of her randy husband's 40 years of philandering that wasn't really philandering 'cause thems womyns was tramps...
UGH.........
>>>>As an ironic aside, if Clinton wins, she will have the most corrupt administration in history before she even performs an official act.<<<
Unless Pres. Obama grants her a full pardon for any things she would/could have done, I predict that Clinton will be impeached. She will lead us into a Constitutional crisis of Civil War proportions...but that's just the first week.
Andrew, an addition:
An audience questioner from the 2nd debate, Ken Bone, the rotund man in the red sweater, stole the show and the internet's heart. He also happened to ask a question that made Trump look good and Hillary, not so much. So, in true Joe-the-Plumber style, Gizmodo and others have dredged up his reddit comments in order to smear him. And while they did find a comment where he admits to looking at J-Law nudes, apparently his worst crime is arriving at the same conclusion as the jury that acquitted George Zimmerman.
And guess who's back? It's Gloria Allred!
Just google it. Because I can't even.
I don't even HAVE to "google"...my chrystal ball tells me that...let's see...Alred is going to "represent" all of the women that Trump has molested and will soon file a class action suit against Trump. I shocked...SHOCKED!!!
Time will tell about the overkill theory.
Trump has given up on winning Virginia.
http://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2016/10/14/retreat-trump-campaign-withdrawing-from-virginia-ceding-ground-to-clinton-n2232066
The Trump campaign is in full retreat in Virginia, effectively ceding the state’s 13 electoral votes to Hillary Clinton. Instead, the Trump campaign is redeploying resources to shore up Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio (via NBC News):
The decision came from Trump's headquarters in New York and was announced on a conference call late Wednesday that left some Republican Party operatives in the state blindsided. Two staffers directly involved in the GOP's efforts in Virginia confirmed the decision.
The move to pull out of Virginia shows Trump is "running essentially a four state campaign," with the focus now shifting to battlegrounds critical to his chances in November: Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio, a source with knowledge of the decision told NBC News.
The Wall Street Journal also reported on the withdrawal, quoting former Virginia campaign chair Corey Stewart, who was fired from the campaign after staging a protest, calling the Republican National Committee “establishment pukes.”
Virginia notwithstanding, the electoral college map has shifted in Trump's favor since the 2nd presidential debate. On Oct. 10, the estimated count was 260 Clinton/165 Trump/113 Toss up. Today, the count is 256 Clinton/170 Trump/112 Toss up.
Bev, So the latest is that some contestant was groped by Trump and he shoved his genitals in her face. Yawn. She never said anything because, you know, it didn't happen. But she's very weepy now and professiona liar Gloria Alllies is representing her.
Oh, and another woman claims he groped her and touched her genitals. Gasp!
Not believing any of it.
tryanmax, I saw them trying to destroy Ken Bone. That's par for the course. Frankly, I think the fact a pro-Trump guy became the darling of the debate is really bad for Clinton.
This is the best yet! Women were warned away from the hotel run by Trump's grandfather during the California gold rush. Clearly, this man must never be President.
Ridiculous.
Tryanmax,
Which electoral college map are you using?
http://www.businessinsider.com/electoral-map-clinton-trump-2016-10
After a tumultuous week for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, the electoral map has swung dramatically in favor of his Democratic counterpart, Hillary Clinton.
Since last week, eight swing states and one congressional district have shifted to be more favorable to the former secretary of state. Not one swing state or congressional district with its own Electoral College vote moved more in favor of Trump.
Using polling data from RealClearPolitics and Washington Post/Survey Monkey, Business Insider found that Clinton, as of this week, would lead Trump by 272 to 181 electoral votes in states that were either safe or likely bets to go in favor of either party's nominee. That alone would give Clinton more than the 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the nomination. It's a vast difference from last week's projection, which showed Clinton with a 237-to-187 edge in the same categories.
Business Insider judged that a safe state was anywhere in which a candidate led by at least 8 percentage points, while a likely state was anywhere in which the nominee held a 4- to 8-point lead.
When including states leaning toward a candidate by 2 to 4 points, Clinton held a 316-to-187 advantage over Trump. Last week, Clinton was up 301-to-216 when including this category.
The tossups, any state in which the major-party nominees held a lead of less than 2 points, consisted of 35 electoral votes. Last week, the two states that were too close to call were Nevada and North Carolina. This week, North Carolina started leaning toward Clinton, while Arizona and Ohio were downgraded from leaning toward Trump to being a tossup.
The two critical battleground states of Pennsylvania and Colorado moved much more in favor of Clinton. Both were only leaning in her favor as of last week. Now Pennsylvania is considered a "safe" state, while Colorado is considered "likely" based on the latest polls.
LOL! I'm using the RCP map that BI apparently felt the need to augment in order to switch the results. Survey Monkey is a marketing tool. I use it. I don't know how suitable it is to this purpose, esp. if WaPo is writing the questions.
I'm not sure what to make of all of this myself. Interestingly, for once even a few social media observations indicated that last week's Trump story didn't really mean anything to anyone who didn't already hate him, but I suspect the purpose was to get Hillary's public position/private position gaffe out of the news and cause the Republicans to revolt, and in that regard it succeeded. I do agree that the brazen hypocrisy here is astounding, though... I can't imagine that the public doesn't see it, but I can't say what the ultimate effect is either. All I know is that I'm getting a headache and that I still think a Hillary victory and continued decline of the Republican Party (from the reasons on Monday's article) is unfortunately the most likely outcome. I know I've mentioned this before but if you're still seeing reasons to be optimistic about America and the future we could definitely use them, Andrew... I think most of us are at our wits end.

Daniel, I will do my best to provide optimism. :)
If you want to see shameless, Yahoo is linking to an article "Why I waited 32 years to tell anyone I was raped."
Gee, could that be aimed at answering the question everyone is asking about the Tumpees? "Why did you wait until now to say anything?"
Sorry, no sale.
As an aside, yet another Trumpee domino has fallen. The woman who claimed he waved his genitals in her face and tried to kiss her has been accused by her sister of saying nothing but good about Trump until he refused to do a political event at her restaurant.
Trump has also released an email from her in which she asks to do the event and where she says they should "reconnect."
I guess she was too traumatized to remember he had tried to rape her. Maybe she'll remember in 32 years?
Much appreciated, Andrew! Most of the talk I'm hearing is about how America is officially in decline and it gets pretty convincing after you hear enough of it. I don't want to think that's the case, but with the right practically dead and a left that shouldn't be powerful having no real competition things do look grim. And I'm not surprised that so many of these stories are falling apart. Let's see if it can break the narrative.
- Daniel
Actually, some years ago, Obama let Trump really have it one night at the Press Club. Tore him a new funny hole. Many believe that night was the final impetus for The Donald's campaign.
JMJ
OT: Driving around Hell-A, been seeing a series of "Diversity" lamppost banners, presumably for some museum or awards coming up somewhere, with celebs' pictures on them ID'ing them as "Out" (Neil Patrick Harris), "Black" (Chris Rock), "Trans" (don't know, couldn't care less), etc., and my mind immediately goes to the great Charles Payne: "I don't care what makes us different. I care about what makes us similar." Amen, m'man Charles!
Tired of the constant drumbeats to drive wedges between us, when, now more than ever, we need to find more ways to bring us together.
"We the People, in order to form a more perfect union ..."
Evidence of how Clinton corrupted the FBI investigation has emerged.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/16/new-fbi-files-contain-allegations-quid-pro-quo-in-clintons-emails.html
FBI interview summaries and notes, provided late Friday to the House Government Oversight and Intelligence Committees, contain allegations of a "quid pro quo" between a senior State Department executive and FBI agents during the Hillary Clinton email investigation, two congressional sources told Fox News.
"This is a flashing red light of potential criminality," Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, who has been briefed on the FBI interviews, told Fox News.
He said "there was an alleged quid pro quo” involving Undersecretary for Management Patrick Kennedy and the FBI “over at least one classified email.”
Anthony, much as I wish it, there's no way that can get wheels under it in time to make a difference. If my twitter feed is any indication, Hillary supporters have moved solidly into "Who cares that she's corrupt?" I'm pretty sure Trump's 5th Ave. remark applies equally to both candidates.
Anthony, That sounds like it's going to be impeachment time if she wins. Oh joy. Maybe she'll die before they Republicans can obsess about that.
Daniel, America is most definitely not in decline. Its political system is crap, but everything else is going strong.
JMJ, It wouldn't surprise me if Trump ran out of a sense of revenge, though it seems odd that he would run against Clinton to get even with Obama. Either way though, everything he did (if true) was fine with the Democrats when he was one of them, just as H. Clinton's crimes, Biden's harassments, B. Clinton's rapes, etc. are fine with them now.
EP, Keeping people separate and angry is part of leftist philosophy because that's how you get people to accept the idea of taking things from others.
I hope you're right, Andrew. An America with an impotent, self destructive right and an angry, unopposed left looks like a dangerous place to be.
