    The problem is I don't want this ejection to become a debate on which side is rapier. I mentioned this before trump even won the nomination.

    The bill stuff is all pretty awful and o can't think of a good way for Hillary to not get dragged into the dumpster by it.

    Yes she will still win the election but we all lose as a people if it gets that nasty. Which it will

    How very special that the men's rights activists' favorite candidate ever is focusing entirely on calling another man a rapist without evidence.
    Maybe not Broadrick per se but Bill's definitely a predator. There's a long list of women who claim sexual harrassment or worse, and where there's smoke there's fire. Unfortunately it's hard to tell which of them are telling the truth, thanks to an active campaign by the Democrats to make them look like nuts and frauds planted by the GOP.

    Giuliani said at the very end of his Meet the Press segment that he'd be attacking Hillary's role... which as I recall is stuff from Breitbart land but I don't remember the details. Conspiracy theory stuff that has no business being discussed at this level, it's legitimately insane.

    where there's smoke there's fire.

    Un-ironic use of this phrase in regards to something tangential to Hillary Clinton may have broke my brain.

    Note: I'm not arguing it regarding the point about Bill, but if there was ever a woman where that phrase would catch a whole mountain worth of shade...

    The existence of smoke machines that produce a lot of smoke with very little fire should have gotten that phrase retired long ago.

    Plus it could just be fog from a fog machine.

    I'm saying, the presidency is a thing we need to concentrate on, yes. It's important Hillary get enough votes.

    However, if all the Democrat voters go out and support their local candidates... well, if you watch your pennies, the dollars take care of themselves. If we get huge D numbers out to change their local offices, the presidency will gravitate towards Clinton as a matter of course.

    A lot of the worst crap being done in this country is being done at the local level.

    Gotta push the contrast between 2008-2010 and 2010-now. Things got done... then obstructionism became the name of the game and everything's slowed down. Pin it on the republicans. Get clips of "making Obama a one-term president" and as much obstructionism as you can. Emphasize that the key to progress is voting local and that Hillary can't do it alone.

    That's for the base. For the sane GOPers work on how horrible Trump is. For the deplorables emphasize how the party establishment has abandoned him.

    So here's the deal about the recent Trump reveals...

    Remember Monica Lewinsky? Remember this photo?

    Bill-and-Monica-embracing-1996.jpg

    Well, there's a story behind that.

    http://www.famouspictures.org/bill-and-monica/
    When the Bill Clinton Monica Lewinsky story broke the news media used the same video clip, the one with Monica in a beret, endlessly repeating behind the talking heads. Hungry for more images of the two together media researchers scrambled through their archives to find another Monica and Bill needle in a photo haystack. That’s when, Time magazine photographer, Dirck Halstead entered the picture. He knew that he had seen Monica’s face and hired a researcher to pore over thousands of images until she found the image he remembered taking. Halstead had taken this picture at a 1996 fundraiser in Washington. When he showed it to TIME they sat on it for months waiting for Lewinsky story to become front page news. When Monica decided to go to the prosecutors, and offer her testimony, the story was page one material and TIME made this image iconic by making it their cover shot.

    That's the level of commitment that journalists used to have regarding their archive.

    And somehow, shows like "Access Hollywood" didn't think it was worth digging through their archives regarding Donald Trump until the month before the election.

    This isn't just bad journalism. It's bad business, period. How do you not keep track of your assets?

    One of the first groups of people that newspaper laid off were the librarians. Then they either destroyed or shipped off their archives. There was some efforts at digitization, but mostly that stuff was binned.

    I don't have any more words for this general election.

    A presidential nominee is convinced he can win by fighting his own party and his opponent.

    A presidential nominee is so unstable and delusional that someone could suggest he would do something violent at tonight's debate and I agreed.

    No words.

    Nigel Farage continuing to be the UK's scummiest export.
    On Saturday Mr Farage said Mr Trump was running to become President of the US, "not the Pope".

    He said: "Look, this is alpha male boasting. It's the kind of thing, if we are being honest, that men do. They sit around and have a drink and they talk like this.

    "By the way, quite a lot of women say things amongst themselves that they would not want to see on Fox News, or the front page of a newspaper. I'm not pretending it's good - it's ugly, it is ugly."

    Note that Farage is rumoured to have been helping prep Trump for tonight.

    Every action has an opposite but equal reaction... and we got someone so awesome in John Oliver that it required Farage AND Piers Morgan to make up for it.

    It'd be nice if he really does commit to the "All men talk like this" line. Play him excusing himself on loop on CNN less than 48 hours after his absurd non-apology. That's a fantastic idea.

    I mean, I know dudes who talk like that. And who act like they can get away with whatever they want to with a woman because of how badass and manly they are. They exist.

    But they're not people you let drive the truck to the worksite, much less be president. As just straight losers go, they're pretty much the bottom tier. The kind of guys who get drunk on a tuesday afternoon and expose themselves to a schoolbus.

    I don't see how that's true. Automation is driving people out of their jobs.

    I'm a programmer. Automation is what programmers do. I don't see the process slowing down, and I don't have an answer. But the Republican party will welcome with open arms all those people angry about the loss of their jobs. The Democrats have been less effective at it, despite their history with labor unions.

    Don't make the mistake of thinking this is over.
