“Your Memes Are Not News Articles. And Your Hypocisy Is Not A Platform.”

This post from Facebook has been making the rounds. A man named Alex Schiller is credited with writing it.

I think it makes the point many American voters feel today.

Bill Clinton cheats on his wife. Impeach him. Trump proudly brags about sexual assault (and has cheated on all of his wives). Elect him.

Hillary oversaw the department of state while 4 people died in an embassy attack. Put her in jail. 2 Republicans were in office while over 200 people died in embassy attacks. No problem.

Immigrants don’t pay taxes. Round them up and kick them out. Trump doesn’t pay taxes. He’s a business genius.

The Clinton Foundation only spent 87% of their donations helping people. She’s a crook. The Trumps Foundation paid off his debts, bought paintings of him, and made political donations to avoid investigations while using less than 5% of funds for actual charity (and he got shut down by the NY State Attorney General). So savvy… put him in the White House.

Trump made $4 billion dollars in 40 years, when an index fund started at the same time with the same “small loans” he received, it would be worth $12 billion today… without a trail of bankruptcies, thousands of lawsuits and hundreds of burned small business owners. He’s a real business whiz.

Hillary took a loss of $700k. She’s a criminal. Trump is the first candidate in the modern era not to release his tax returns, and yet we found out that he took a billion dollar loss in 1 year. Genius.

Hillary takes responsibility for private email servers and apologizes. Not credible. Trump denies saying things (on the record) he actually said (on the record), he’s just telling it like it is.

Really???

Your arguments are thin. Your ignorance of reality is shocking. Your double-standards are offensive, and your willingness to blindly support him and recycle the rhetoric is absurd. Your opinion is not fact. Your memes are not news articles. And your hypocrisy is not a platform.

Former THE APPRENTICE Contestant Alleges Sexual Assault By Donald Trump

Former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos

A former contestant from the NBC game show The Apprentice has come forward with allegations of sexual assault by Donald Trump.

I believe this is the 7th woman to come forward with such allegations. For the past few days, Trump has denied any sexual misconduct on his part, saying he didn’t even know who these women are.

It will be difficult to make the same claim since Summer Zervos as a contestant on the 5th season of The Apprentice.

From the L.A. Times:

Zervos said she contacted Trump in 2007 seeking a job. They met in New York and he took her phone number, she said. He called before he visited Los Angeles, dubbed Zervos his “O.C. angel” and proposed dinner, she said.

Zervos said she was summoned to the Beverly Hills Hotel, where she expected to eat at a restaurant. Instead, she said, she was ushered to Trump’s bungalow.

Trump repeatedly tried to kiss her with an open mouth as she darted around the room trying to evade him, Zervos said. He also put his hand on her breast and thrust his genitals at her, she said.

“Dude, you’re tripping right now,” Zervos said she told Trump, as she sought to stop his advances. “Come on, man, get real.”

She said Trump asked her what she wanted, and that she replied she had come to eat dinner.

As they waited for room service, Zervos said, Trump told her that he didn’t think she had ever known love or been in love. Then she said he turned to business, questioning her as though she was on a job interview.

They shared a club sandwich, and Trump advised Zervos to default on her home mortgage, Zervos said, adding that they arranged to meet the next day at Trump’s golf course in Palos Verdes.

Zervos said she left the hotel stunned by Trump’s behavior, but decided to attend the meeting the following day after speaking with her father.

“I wondered if the sexual behavior was some kind of test and whether or not I had passed,” she said. “Obviously he still wanted to talk to me about a job even though I had turned his sexual advances down.”

Zervos went on to say she was eventually offered a position at half the salary she expected. When she continued to pursue employment with Trump, according to Zervos, he told her he couldn’t afford her as he was laying off thousands of employees.

Here’s the full press conference held today by Ms. Zervos with her lawyer, Gloria Allred.

Homocon Trump Supporter Attacks Protester At North Carolina Rally

More violence occurred at a Donald Trump rally in North Carolina as a self-described “Gay for Trump” supporter put a protester into a headlock and attempted to remove the protester himself.

The protester is removed by the police, and then two men (apparently a gay couple) are also ejected.

It gets sadder and sadder each day as the tone and physical threat of Trump’s supporters devolves further into the muck.

Watch video of the attack below.

This Gay Couple Supports Donald Trump

Wall Street Journal reporter Jason Bellini talks with a gay couple who say they support Donald Trump at a Cincinnati, Ohio.

The couple, who said they have “a lot of gay friends that support Trump,” also said they felt comfortable being affectionate amid the Trump crowd.

“Nobody’s saying anything about it,” they said. “No one’s stopped us or done anything, so it’s pretty good.”

When asked why they support the Republican billionaire, one of the men shrugs and laughingly to his bf, “I don’t know, why?”

“I’m tired of the bullshit government,” said the other. “I work in the steel industry and I see it hardcore with the trades and stuff. It’s time for a change. Trump’s the man for it.”

 Actually, it’s been noted that Trump himself bought steel for his various construction jobs from over seas.

The first man also chimed in with, “Plus, I really feel like he would bring more jobs to the country. The system and everything could be a hell of a lot better.”

ANOTHER Woman Accuses Trump Of Sexual Assault

The Washington Post has interviewed yet another woman who alleges Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump touched her inappropriately at a nightclub in New York City back in the 1990s.

Kristin Anderson was deep in conversation with acquaintances at a crowded Manhattan nightspot and did not notice the figure to her right on a red velvet couch — until, she recalls, his fingers slid under her miniskirt, moved up her inner thigh, and touched her vagina through her underwear.

Anderson shoved the hand away, fled the couch and turned to take her first good look at the man who had touched her, she said.

She recognized him as Donald Trump: “He was so distinctive looking — with the hair and the eyebrows. I mean, nobody else has those eyebrows.”

At the time of the incident, which Anderson said took place in the early 1990s, she was in her early twenties, trying to make it as a model. She was paying the bills by working as a makeup artist and restaurant hostess. Trump was a big celebrity whose face was all over the tabloids and a regular presence on the New York club scene.

The episode, as Anderson described it, lasted no more than 30 seconds. Anderson said she and her companions were “very grossed out and weirded out” and thought, “Okay, Donald is gross. We all know he’s gross. Let’s just move on.”

Anderson did not seek out the Washington Post to tell her story. A reporter at the WaPo heard of the incident from a mutual friend and contacted Anderson.

Anderson, who says she’s neither a Trump nor Clinton supporter, says she needed to take a few days to think about coming forward considering the media scrutiny she knew would happen.

Over the years, she’s casually shared the story to friends in regard to how women get hit on by “creepy older guys.”

Several women have come forward recounting alleged sexual assault by Trump in the aftermath of the now infamous Access Hollywood video where Trump bragged to host Billy Bush about behavior that very closely mirrors the stories now coming to light.

Watch a very credible Kristin Anderson tell her story below.

Donald Trump Covers TIME Magazine – “Total Meltdown”

Illustration by Edel Rodriguez for TIME

Excerpt from TIME Magazine:

The furor over the leaked recording seemed to liberate him. Free of the “shackles”–his own tweeted word–Trump reduced his campaign to a primal grunt.

It sounded, at times, like the last gasp of the angry white man. Trump threatened to throw his opponent in jail, bragged of avoiding income taxes and peddled an empty conspiracy theory about undocumented immigrants’ being given voter-registration cards. He insisted he was right to stoke the racial tensions of New York City during the Central Park jogger drama in the 1990s, refusing to accept the DNA proof that he had the case wrong. He promoted a fiction that Muslim friends of the San Bernardino, Calif., terrorists knew their plans but failed to alert authorities, and he injected a crude Russian propaganda effort into one of his rallies without a care about its inaccuracy. Another tape (it wasn’t easy keeping track) caught him agreeing as a radio shock jock labeled his daughter Ivanka “a piece of ass.” Having congratulated himself for keeping the first presidential debate slightly above the muck, in Round 2 he plunged into the wallow, deflecting attention from his own vulgarity by saddling Clinton with the alleged sexual sins of her husband and trying to seat Bill Clinton’s accusers in the front row.

Trump once said on the campaign trail that he would approve of torture as President, “even if it doesn’t work.” With four weeks left to Election Day, he seemed to be testing the proposition on the public. Unshackled, he flirted with unhinged and erased the emollient line between a campaign aimed at the base and one intended to debase.

Michelle Obama Slams Trump: “This Is Not How Any President Should Behave”

First Lady Michelle Obama, campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton this morning, took Republican Donald Trump to task regarding the recent revelations and accusations of sexual assault without naming him.

Via ABC News:

Stumping for Hillary Clinton today, first lady Michelle Obama said the revelations over the last week about Trump’s treatment of women have “shaken me to my core” and called on voters not to dismiss the incident as “just another day’s headlines.”

“Last week we saw this candidate actually bragging about sexually assaulting women. I can’t believe I’m saying that a candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women. I have to tell you that I — I can’t stop thinking about this. It has shaken me to my core in a way that I couldn’t have predicted,” Obama said at a Clinton campaign event at Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester.

Growing emotional at times, the first lady urged Americans not to ignore Trump’s comments from a 2005 “Access Hollywood” interview.

“This is not something that we can ignore. It’s not something we can just sweep under the rug as just another disturbing footnote in a sad election season, because this was not just a lewd conversation,” she continued. “This wasn’t locker room banter.”

Watch her speech from a campaign rally in Manchester, New Hampshire:

New York Times Responds To Trump Campaign’s Request To “Cease And Desist”

After the New York Times published an article detailing the alleged sexual assaults on two women by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, the Trump campaign predictably and publicly sent a letter to the Times demanding the newspaper retract the story.

The New York Times’ lawyer responded today.

The letter reads, in part:

“The essence of a libel claim, of course, is the protection of one’s reputation. Mr. Trump has bragged about his non-consensual sexual touching of women. He has bragged about intruding on beauty pageant contestants in their dressing rooms. He acquiesced to a radio show host’s request to discuss Mr. Trump’s own daughter as a “piece of ass.” Multiple women not mentioned in our article have publicly come forward to report on Mr. Trump’s unwanted advances. Nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on the reputation that Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions, has already created for himself.”
