The latest Wikileaks email dump, the Podesta hacked emails Part 3, have been scrutinized by opposition Republicans obsessively since they were released Monday. Alas! They believe they've found a fatal flaw, one that they want equate with Trump's 'locker room' remarks that were revealed last week.

Rudy Giuliani was one of the speakers that opened for Donald Trump's rally in Ocala, Florida a little while ago and he was digusting as ever.

Ugh:

Four women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant said Donald Trump walked into the dressing room while contestants — some as young as 15 — were changing.

“I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here,’” said Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA.

Trump, she recalled, said something like, “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.”

So now we have it confirmed that Trump is a peeper... Читать дальше...

In an effort to hide from the furor caused by his sex tape, Donald Trump trotted out three former Bill Clinton accusers hours before the second presidential debate, and then used those past cases to smear Hillary during the debate itself.

Rachel Maddow had a little fun with the news. Trump supporters probably didn't know the difference.

Here's Jim Rutenberg, the man picked to replace David Carr as media critic of The New York Times, with the laziest take imaginable on the subject of Donald Trump:

Taylor Rose likes to project a fresh-scrubbed, wholesome image to his fellow Montanans while campaigning for a seat in the state’s House of Representatives. It’s easy for the blonde-haired, blue-eyed and clean-shaven 28-year-old from the rural Columbia Falls area to do, flashing a toothy grin and ranting about the need to get the federal government out of workers’ hair and open up the state’s timberlands to lumber operations.

The image, combined... Читать дальше...

Economist’s View: A November interest rate hike from the Fed is very unlikely.

We know exactly what Donald Trump's strategy is: take this election straight into the gutter, keep it there, and make voters so disgusted that his diehard fanatics -- the only ones he has left -- will carry the day. That is his only chance, and we shouldn't let him bring us down to his level. Democrats win by talking about the issues that matter to the American people, and by giving people a reason to vote for them.

Samantha Bee offers up one of the best takes on the debate. In this cycle, the comedians are the truth-tellers.

Seemed called for tonight!

By now most of us know that Donald Trump went on a tweetstorm this morning against House Speaker Paul Ryan. CNN's Carol Costello abruptly ended a segment with the now utterly unhinged Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson, and pivoted to CNN's Dana Bash to go over the current battlefield.

Wow, just wow.

Now that Trump has gone the "Full Bannon," he's even more incoherent and angrier than before.

Donald Trump joined his old pal on the O'Reilly Factor Tuesday night and Bill asked him what it means to have the "shackles taken off."

Trump didn't have any real explanation other than to bash Speaker Paul Ryan for ditching him after the sex tape came out.

"Paul Ryan, open borders and amnesty and bad budgets by the way, very, very bad budgets..."

Apparently... Читать дальше...

Rep. Blake Farenthold stopped by Chris Hayes' show tonight to play the Trump "locker room" card and also talk about how much he hated Hillary Clinton, which would have made for a ho-hum segment since those talking points are all the rage amongst Republicans.

The Doocy in the Box wanted the skinny on the Congressional GOP conference call regarding some possibly wavering support for Donald Trump. Who better to ask than the goofiest bastard in Congress, Louis Gohmert, Texas Republican and nuttiest individual to serve in the House. He has an interesting excuse for Trump's language and knows now that it's okay because he's a Republican and a Christian!

The video shows a series of white people clearly dressed with modesty in mind, and I have to assume they are Mormons, reading an excerpt from Hillary Clinton's book, "It Takes a Village."

Trump surrogate Boris Epshteyn was apparently unimpressed with Al Gore's Florida rally appearance with Hillary Clinton today, and made no bones about it.
