Last night's debate was a new low for the Republican Party. From the early fact checking
Then there was Trump STALKING her all night long around the stage, gazing angrily, snorting, and humping the back of his chair as he refused to sit down while Clinton was speaking. It was a display of extreme intimidation tactics against a woman who he felt he could bully like the rest. What it did was confirm every single claim that he is grossly misogynistic, but to a different level. His attempted psychological abuse of a woman simply didn't work this time. Oh... in his mind, he beat the hell out of her, imagining himself laying punch after punch, kick after kick to the Democratic nominee's head. In his head, she was bleeding. You know that was going on in his head, because his facial expressions and stalking told us so in real time.
The lies told by Trump are those fabricated by the Republican Party. David Brock, former right-wing political hit man describes as "A vast right-wing conspiracy to destroy Hillary Clinton in mainstream media....A right-wing factory of disinformation." Brock adds “Contrary to what my patrons expected, I found no silver bullet that would stop the Clintons. What I did find was a woman with a steadfast commitment to public service, a clear political vision, and a deep well of personal integrity. I couldn’t write the book conservatives wanted, not without betraying the facts as I saw them—and betraying myself in the process.”
Trump's pre-game promotion, beginning with his faux-apology the day before, was nothing more than a WWE match promotion, where he tipped off his fans with red meat in a fashion that makes Vince McMahon look like an altar boy.
Very simply, Trump's game plan was to throw as much bullshit into the air as possible so that Clinton would not be able to talk much on policy matters, which Trump knows nothing about. Basically telling the public "I get a pass on sexually assaulting women because Bill Clinton did it too". First of all, while it's obvious that Clinton had a couple of affairs, but allegations of rape have never been proven, and a deposition in 1999 by accuser Broaddrick suggests political motive for the accusation.
The sheer mountain of poo Trump threw at her last night was his (somewhat successful) attempt at disallowing Hillary Clinton to use her time to educate the public on the need for much of her platform, since Trump has nothing to offer except massive tax cuts to billionaires while increasing middle class taxes, and to take the focus off of his admitted multiple sexual assaults and misogyny against women. It was a last-ditch effort to save a burning ship. All or nothing. It was like this... "If I can't win, I'll just burn the whole thing down" temper tantrum, which inevitably is being viewed rightfully by most respected journalists as a "scorched earth" approach to losing the election.
JUANITA BROADDRICK RAPE ALLEGATION
It's amazing to me that an ADMITTED RAPIST, Donald Trump, would claim that his crimes against women should be ignored and accepted, because Bill did it too. The LAST THING I wanted to do in this campaign was to defend Bill Clinton on his sexual adventures in the 1990's, but the barrage of bombs dropped by Trump on Sunday night forces me to address one of them. Affairs he has admitted to and apologized for. He has long reconciled with his wife and family, and most of the public has accepted his apology, and forgiven him for his misgivings.
However, the Broaddrick accusation of rape brings it to another level. If it were true, this would be just as horrific as Trump's verbal admission to entitling himself to "grab women by the pussies" because he's rich and famous, regardless of their marital status or how young they are. Trump is AN ADMITTED RAPIST who MUST NOT be let off the hook.
Broaddricks claims are still questionable, and investigations into the claim were dropped 15 years ago, because there was too much discrepancy in Broaddricks allegations. Among them are....
A) Broaddrick filed an affidavit in 1997, stating that Bill Clinton DID NOT assault her. Then, under the full influence of Ken Starr, the original witch-hunter, she told the FBI that she had been raped. She was either lying to lawyers or lied to the FBI. An affidavit is a written statement confirmed by oath or affirmation, for use as evidence in court, and holds more water than a lie told in an FBI investigation.
B) Twenty-one years after the alleged rape, claims by friends of Broaddrick, Norma Kelsey and her sister, that Broaddrick told them of the rape are easily debunked in the fact that they had (still have) a personal grudge against Bill Clinton. Apparently, Bill as Governor of Arkansas, commuted the death sentence of a man convicted of murdering their father. The friends' testimony isn't trustworthy.
C) Juanita Broaddrick was in the middle of having an affair at the time, cheating on her husband. Broaddrick never mentioned anything about a rape to her husband, and subsequently dumped him for the guy she was having an affair with. A strong theory floated by investigators is that Broaddrick received a bruised lip from her lover (not Bill), and later tried to cover her affair by accusing Clinton of rape.
D) Clinton has admitted to having a consensual affair Monica Lewinsky. The consensual part confirmed by Lewinsky herself, however, that's a far cry from committing and lying about a violent felony. No other credible witness has ever accused him of rape.
E) The National Enquirer paid a lie-detector expert to analyze the videotape and he concluded that she's lying.
F) Three weeks after the probable date of the rape, Broaddrick attended a Clinton fundraiser. A rape victim wouldn't attend the fundraiser of her rapist.
TRUMP and the REPUBLICAN PARTY are one in the same, make no doubt.
He embodies the entire GOP platform over the last eight years. The only difference is that he’s vocal about it. In order for the Republican Party to either change or fade away, Trump needed to win the nomination, followed by a landslide defeat in the general election, along with massive losses in the Senate and House of Representatives. The GOP is stuck with the toxic slime that they created. The only thing left was for them to admit that they are Trump. DO NOT let Republicans who jump ship on Trump off the hook, because even that is a lie. If they are re-elected, it's back to the same old baby games. They all need a new profession.
BRASS KNUCKLES TO THE HEAD
Many Republicans are now jumping off the Trump-train now, as his absolute lack of qualification is now apparent, but they continue repeating HIS lies, or more appropriately stated, Trump repeats THEIR lies which have been told for three decades now, and they in turn support the lies. But, when it comes to the false attacks on the President and Secretary Clinton, they are all in full support of Trump swinging their brass knuckles at Hillary's head on a daily basis, in an attempt to lower her trustworthiness numbers enough to allow a psychotic, narcissistic, racist, misogynistic, ignorant loose cannon who doesn't understand the world he wishes to "command" as emperor of the United States to lead the free world.
Daily beatings of Secretary Clinton are STILL allowed, in the hope of putting in a man who has encouraged small nations to develop nuclear weapons, advocates leaving NATO, encourages hatred toward Muslims which is used as a recruiting tool for terrorists, and vows to increase oil drilling, walking away from the Paris Climate Agreement in which Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton worked hard on, in order to save this damned planet. We brought 175 nations together to work to solve the #1 greatest threat to humanity, and Republicans want to throw it in the trash in favor of oil profits. In their minds, if they beat the hell out of Hillary good enough, they may succeed. Fifteen years ago, Bush walked away from the Kyoto Protocol (precursor to the Paris Conference). Today, Louisiana is under water, and the Florida coastline is changing. Greed has a price.
VOTER FRAUD THROUGH VOTER SUPPRESSION
A political party that re-draws congressional districts to place larger groups of African American and other Democratic leaning voters into one district, so as to increase the odds that the other districts vote Republican. A party that, for purely political reasons, works constantly to add restrictive voter I.D.laws that adversely affect Democratic voters. Requiring state issued identification, AND THEN... CLOSING LOCAL DMV's in order to make it harder to obtain the necessary I.D., followed by a reduction in early voting days and less polling places. This is calculated in the hope that many Democratic voters will not be willing to wait in the long line, as much as 4 hours long in some places, thereby rigging the state toward Republicans. They know that middle class voters, highly Democratic, work long hours and may not have time to vote. It may be evil genius, but unfortunately for them, they're dumb enough to admit it publicly, and they've been exposed.
THE BRAINWASHING
They regularly lie to their own voters, who get screwed every four years by their political party, yet continue believing them election after election. This has to do with brainwashing and mob psychology, or as I call it "Mass Insanity". Republican voters have been violated by Republican politicians, over and over.
EVERY SCANDAL DEBUNKED
Every fake scandal... every lie told to the electorate by Republicans is proven to have an adverse effect on Hillary Clinton's approval numbers. Each and every lie is debunked, and somehow, the repetition of the lies continue. Therefore, the potential of a lie, even when proven false, continues to rattle around in the consciousness of the electorate as a plausibility.
We allow our nation to be led by these liars, misogynists, fascists and racists. We allow this Republican party to sacrifice our young men and women in wars designed strictly for oil and weapons profits. We allow the destruction of this planet. By Democrats failing to vote at mid-terms, we allow the GOP to enjoy a 66% chance of controlling the House of Representatives and Senate.
There is a good chance that Hillary will win in November, but short of a total take-down of this Republican fascism, along with a VERY STRONG followup in 2018, nothing will change. The beatings and threats will continue. This article, along with other educational articles need to be shared and re-shared, and shared again until our message has been received by Independent and Republican voters as well as Democrats. There are millions of people to reach.
November 8, 2016 (All of the House of Representatives, plus 1/3 of the Senate are up for re-election)
November 6, 2018 (All of the House of Representatives, plus 1/3 of the Senate go up for re-election)
