Fine debate prep, there.
Elie
This is getting super duper crayzee. Who knows what he will do next? The dude is definitely in need of powerful medications… Who is helping him do these stupid things? Don’t they want a life after this?
Corner Stone
That looked like a North Korean hostage video.
Iowa Old Lady
You mean, right now he’s doing the presser?
NickM
I think there’s a non-zero chance he may try to physically intimidate or touch HRC in some way. Not saying it’s going to happen but it’s actually imaginable IMHO. Is that crazy to think?
Corner Stone
WTF did I wake up to?
PopeRatzo
What’s the over/under on the number of times the word “pussy” or “blowjob” are used by candidates or moderators tonight? I need to get a bet down, quick.
Baud
Wouldn’t it be funny if Trump did well tonight and all those Republicans had to start supporting him again?
Schlemazel
I am seriously hoping he goes nuts on someone asking him a question, hopefully cursing and insulting. Then I want Hillary to defend the questioner and have Drumpf take a swing at Hillary so that the Secret Service brings him down & sits on him. THAT would be must watch TV!
edit: @NickM: my dream is a bit more vivid
Adam L Silverman
I’ve just seen the footage. Steve Bannon could not contain the expression of glee on his face as he lurked along the back of the room.
Corner Stone
This man belongs in an insane asylum.
mike in dc
Serial sexual harasser appears with alleged and real victims of harassment in the belief it will insulate him from accountability for his own misconduct.

@NickM: Nope. Definitely non-zero.

@NickM:
There is nothing too crazy to think or imagine, right now.
Trentrunner
Holy mother of God. What the actual fuck.

Is Bill going to be in the audience again?
psycholinguist
just saw it, Donny sitting amongst these women. That poor lady who was a rape victim at 12, good god somebody needs to help her, she doesn’t need to be any where near that orange glow piece of shit. That he would use her like that just makes me want to punch him right in his tiny dick.
Trentrunner
After the “victim” intros, a press member tried to ask “What about he women you touched, Mr. Trump?”
Paula Jones started YELLING, “Ask Bill Clinton that question!”
Imagine Trump as President.
Trentrunner
@psycholinguist: Amen.
Corner Stone
@psycholinguist:
Which person are you referring to?

Who are these “guests” that he is interviewing? Honest to fucking cross-eyed Jesus… !!!!!

In case you can’t bear watching the video, here’s the Guardian’s description of the presser:
Keith P.
@Corner Stone: I doubt they’ll even shake hands tonight.
Jim, Foolish Literalist
Whatever happened, I think Juanita Broaddrick believes her own story, and obviously Kathy Shelton is the victim of a terrible crime. It’s a shame no one could stop them from getting themselves mixed up with those other three goons.
Suzanne
@NickM: During one of the primary debates, I remember Jeb! was just standing there being completely rolled by Trump, who was laying into him for “low energy” and mocking his family and all manner of other shit. And I told Mr. Suzanne that the single best thing that Jeb! could do at that moment would be to walk over and punch Trump in the face. Just cold-cock him. It would have refuted the attacks of weakness and would have shut Teh YUUUUUGEmouth up, and it would have completely changed the race. But of course he didn’t. Please clap.
I think there is a disturbingly large portion of the population that would love to see a woman be physically abused by a man in this context.
David ?▶️Hillary/Harley Quinn 2016▶️? Koch
Nicole Wallace commenting on the presser just said Trump is having a psychotic break.
Lizzy L
What Trentrunner just said. Ima just gonna leave this here. It’s Jennifer Rubin in The WaPo. The whole piece is good, but I fell in love with this paragraph. When you’ve lost Jennifer Rubin, you’ve LOST.
And now I’m going to run to the store. I don’t think I am going to make it through this evening w/o beer.
bluehill
I think we’ll finally find out how obsessed the country still is with Bill’s infidelity. We knew this line of attack was coming, but wasn’t sure of the intensity or the scale. Now we know. It’s all out, up to 11 attack. I think (and pray) that most Americans don’t see this as relevant to Hillary’s ability to be president and Donald’s complete lack thereof. The upside is that it could finally drive anyway of the undecideds, “moderate” repubs, Bernie fence-sitters, leaving Trump with his 27% base. That would likely lead to a Senate majority and possibly a House majority.
Corner Stone
@Keith P.: Would you get within physical striking distance of him? He is clearly unhinged and insane. And outweighs her by 100+ pounds.
And I am not kidding. He is clearly fucking insane.
Trentrunner
CNN just reported that the “victims” will also be sitting in the debate audience.
Bill & Chelsea are also supposed to be there.

Speaking of drinking games, my brew buddy and I just finished bottling our newest mead experiment – ‘hip-hop’, which is rose hips and hops added to clover honey. Pretty damn tasty! And we started a batch of apple-cherry cider.

@Jim, Foolish Literalist: IIRC, Kathy Shelton has nothing to do with the Clintons, save that HRC was appointed by a judge (under HRC’s protest) to be the defense counsel for her rapist. HRC did her job and what the hell does this have to do with anything? So now Shelton is appearing publicly with a man who sexually abuses women IN SUPPORT OF HIM BEING THE PRESIDENT?!
Oh whatever. The world stopped making sense a long time ago.
PsiFighter37
What a nutjob. He’s going to self-detonate tonight.
psycholinguist
@Corner Stone: The lady to his left, she was raped when she was 12. Hillary was a public defender, and ended up, against her wishes, being assigned as the defense attorney for the rapist. She plea bargained his case in exchange for a confession. Some asshole found her and got her on a plane and sat her down beside trump as a prop. Just disgusting, and no doubt she will now get to deal with that all over again.
Gin & Tonic
I told my wife I will have a beer while watching. She said “not a scotch”? I said I’d pour the good stuff after he self destructs. Should I just open it up early?
BR
I’ve never felt like the nation was on the line in an election like I do now. Even in Bush vs. Gore, Bush vs. Kerry, Obama vs. McCain — none of those felt like the nation itself was on the line in such a critical moment.
The only salve is to let Hillary do her thing, and for us to do our thing.
PsiFighter37
Kathleen Wiley? Seriously?
Jesus Christ, what a goddamn joke.
Adam L Silverman
@Corner Stone: Yes, but… Everyone said, and it was leaked, he was going to try to go all out at her – President Clinton’s sexual history, Benghazi, the server, etc – at the first debate. He didn’t. And I think it may be that he can’t. He’s fine being a bully to those he knows he can bully. He’s clearly aware that he can’t bully her. So when they’re together he just basically looks and sounds and acts frustrated. We’ll see if that dynamic holds tonight or whether he actually can bring himself to go there. And part of what also has to be accounted for is that the town hall format is not conducive to what he and his campaign seem to be telegraphing for tonight.
Corner Stone
@psycholinguist: Thanks for that. I don’t know how I was not aware, so thanks for the brief.

Trump will declare America a nation of wimpy PC pussies and half of Amerca will cheer. Or perhaps all of America will cheer, but for different reasons.
Adam L Silverman
@Baud: Yes. Better question is whether the Trump campaign tries to seat the women he just made an appearance with in the audience as well. I’m pretty sure that the Commission on the Presidential Debates is not going to be willing to let that happen.
Calouste
First question a reporter should ask is: “Mr. Trump, how many of these women did you grab by the pu$$y before you brought then out?”
PsiFighter37
Good thing I’m on a plane and don’t have access to unlimited booze.
Jim, Foolish Literalist
No, but she’s surely traumatized and has unfortunately become tangled up with people willing to exploit her, and who if it weren’t for Hillary Clnton would probably be asking her what she was wearing when it happened.

If he brings up Kathy Shelton during the debate I hope that she hits back with the Central Park 5. Everyone deserves a defense and those 5 men would have been executed even though they’re innocent if Trump had his way.

They’re both right, Dresser more so. I also saw that Newton Leroy has been telling Trump to get off the Clenius and stick to the Wikileaks thing. He knows what it means to get burned by the Clenius.
Wait, what?
Suzanne
@Jim, Foolish Literalist: This is so fucked up. I am deeply sorry for what Kathy Shelton went through, and I don’t know the details of her case, but it is statistically unlikely that her rapist would ever have been convicted, and a plea bargain may have been the only way to get her assailant to take any sort of responsibility. That is horrible and sad, but that is nothing to lay at the feet of HRC. In fact, the rape culture that lets men get away with assault is much more the responsibility of…..Donald Trump, the confessed abuser.
As for the others, what the fuck does this have to do with the candidate?

This is just a nightmare election. I just can’t believe that everyday I am surprised by how low it has gone. You’d think by now I would be numb, but yet I am still surprised.
I hope that Hillary goes out there and is at her town hall best, connecting with people and talking about the policies that can change their circumstances. I admire her more everyday. There isn’t anything I can think of that I want enough to make going through all of this worth it. But she does, for public service. The woman is amazing, honestly. And I am not a gusher.

@Adam L Silverman:
Thanks very much. Unfortunately, I stepped away from the screen, watched Corrupt Misogynist Deadbeat Donnie do his List O’ Bretibart thing, and killed a fifth [sic] of the cheapest rotgut I had. I can’t stand that fucker, can’t stand his lying, can’t stand his evil and vileness. It’s a lousy excuse to drink, but it was all I had.
And, in any event, that Bingo card looked more suited for the first debate. A custom-made-for-the-second-debate card would have had more things like “locker room talk” and “worst abuser in History Bill Clinton” type of squares.
But, as always, I truly appreciate your help.
