A Guy Can Wish
Conservatives unleashed #Trump and his #BasketOfDespicables on the nation. It is fitting that the #GOP be among the first casualties. pic.twitter.com/jgcTSa6OgK— rootwoman123 (@rootwoman123) October 12, 2016

Through The Floor
There's a virulent strain of "conservative" that grew out of the 90s when people like Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh taught the GOP an important "debate" technique that says basically that the point of the exercise is simply to make the libruls mad (thanks, driftglass)
I'd call that picture evidence of the depth of their depravity, thinking again they've reached the basement floor, but they manage to go on crashing thru each lower limit, until it seems there's just no bottom for them.
And it's not like people haven't been trying to warn us this day was coming.
Each New Thing
Almost every day, when the newest horrifyingly right radical thing drops into our laps, I think, "this has to be as bad as it gets". And every time, all I have to do is wait for a day (sometimes less), and along comes something to top it.

Leggings and gerbils, Dave Daubenmire (via Right Wing Watch):
America will never be great until people who think like this are marginalized and removed from any position of authority or influence over anything besides their little pathetic tabernacles to the Lord...sadly, large numbers of men think this way and have quite a bit of power and influence.. And that is one of the reasons we can't have nice things. Time for men whose masculinity isn't threatened by strong and powerful women to stand up and demand that men like this are a relic of the past and should be relegated to it...like museum relics.
It's A Wonderment
Given recent blowups regarding revelations of Mr Trump's ever-increasing Ick Factor, I got curious as to the Endorsement Scorecard, so off to Wikipedia we go.
And, ooh look - here's a snapshot of Newspaper Endorsements for 2016
And, ooh look - here's a snapshot of Newspaper Endorsements for 2016
In a 5-way contest, Trump finishes behind "No Endorsement" and "Not Donald Trump" and Gary (what's "a leppo"?) Johnson. Dead.Fucking.Last.
Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Not one. Not so much as the Bergen County Shoppers Guide. Nothin'.
But wait, Mike - everybody knows the Librul Media can't we trusted. What about all the others; the "real people" ?
So, I went to the Endorsements page for each candidate, and browsed around a bit, and then I employed the time-honored metric of counting the number of times I had to hit Page Down to get thru the lists - and here's my very silly little quickie recap:
Hillary Clinton = 54 pages
Donald Trump = 17 pages
There ya have it - Hillary stomps his ass by better than 3-1.
Oh yeah - maybe this is the kicker and maybe it's not, but anyway, here's the score on how many endorsements have been retracted for each of 'em:
Hillary Clinton = 0
Donald Trump = 42
Knowing how low and crass and mercenary any given politician (or pundit) can be, we know how bad the situation has to get before one of these public ho-bags admits to making a mistake and reverses course.
Forty-fucking-two
And Now An Important Announcement
For just my Republican friends - from Hair Fuhrer* himself - you'll always remember what a special day it was.

Today's Quote
"When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatize those who let people die, not those who struggle to live."

Polling Here At Home
Blue Virginia:
Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton holds a 9 percentage point lead over Republican Donald Trump among likely voters in Virginia (45%-36%), according to The Roanoke College Poll. Libertarian Gary Johnson trails with 7 percent of likely voters, while Independent Evan McMullin and Green Party candidate Jill Stein each garner 1 percent. Ten percent of likely voters remain undecided. In a two-way matchup, Clinton’s lead extends to 13 points (51%-38%). Clinton led by 7 percentage points in the September Roanoke College Poll (44%-37%).
The Roanoke College Poll interviewed 814 likely voters in Virginia between October 2 and October 6 and has a margin of error of +3.4 percent. The poll was conducted after the first presidential debate and prior to both the second debate and the release of the videotape of Donald Trump making vulgar comments about women.Virginia's looking like a bellwether - a leading indicator kinda thing. Increasing buzz going on about how If HRC's lead goes up a lousy two points here in The Old Dominion over the next coupla weeks, we could be in for a regular tsunami.
