The nation may survive, but the wound to hope and order will never fully heal - US elections 2016: the october surprises

She seemed a tiny bit rattled by Trump being an abusive monster who said he wanted to destroy her life, called her the devil, stalked her on stage and several times seemed close to attacking her. She seemed less rattled than anyone should be expected to be in that situation.

love Trump's reaction in this story - cool as a cucumber that guy!

can't wait for more, mmm schadenfreude

The next few weeks will be, I suspect, Cosby-esque.

tbh i'm kind of amazed they got him on the phone for it.

yeah why is he even talking to any of the press at this point

"And this is not the big story that should be out later this week."

goddamnit I want it now

Trump + Cosby would've made a good 70s sexual-predator-buddy-horror-movie team

my guess is they'd be dropping it on friday in advance of the third debate?

Kinda my thought.

TGIF

I do wonder who the "they" is in this case

“He was like an octopus,” she said. “His hands were everywhere.”

is anybody else hearing this in the voice of John Cale

Brave women. I wish them insulation from the rape apologist hordes sure to be beating down their doors.

That guy's feed, tho. Trump is still using every line he's been using for the last year, some of which he's walked back on the record.

haha, is this going to be a grope news dump today? I wonder how many stories? i'm surprised that erin burnette's friend's story hasn't been more widely disseminated (he apparently grabbed her and kissed her)

yeah it seems like watching trump deny unwanted physical advances during the debate pushed a lot of women to go public. that ny times article is worth reading in full. it fucking sucks to wonder how many there are.

ned, rick wilson is a fun follow...

@TheRickWilson Who needs strip clubs when Rick Wilson is here to tease us?

Uh oh:

In this scenario, what’s crucial for Trump is to be able to convince his hardcore supporters that he—and they—didn’t lose, but that the dreaded Republican establishment sabotaged the Trump campaign in the final weeks. This strategy is in keeping with the way Trump has always spun his greatest defeats, from his failures in Atlantic City to his loss in the Iowa caucuses. He either denies that he failed or he argues that he was cheated

is this for real or rick wilson trolling? https://twitter.com/TheRickWilson/status/786351561878503424

Based on what I've been seeing from him over time, I'll bet real.

if he got nude in boston then that's got to be pretty bad

Lost Hold Steady lyrics

I'm waiting for the Trump opp research team, such as it is, to look for more Clinton women to counter these charges.

that's what Bannon is trying to do as marked up above. "going nuclear". it's going to be a lovely three more weeks. maybe a lovely 4 years.

Good luck finding anything scaife didn't turn up 25 years ago

So, #RepealThe19th is trending on Twitter. I quit this country.

maybe just quit twitter?

sometimes it is worth remembering that, were it not for the white male demographic, donald trump's campaign for pres would have ended long ago

the list of amendments that right-wingers approve of gets smaller every year

they already want to abolish the 14th, 16th, and 17th amendments, just a matter of time till they decide it's a good idea to make ppl quarter soldiers in their homes

that twitter hashtag seems to be generated almost exclusively by the indignant. not that, like, there aren't a few deplorables in favour
