Donald Trump just got schooled on his twin obsessions–Putin and Pussy–in a new video by Russia’s version of nasty women, the feminist, all-girl band Pussy Riot. The song hits home, the place where Trump and everyone else ultimately comes from… the vagina. The group, composed of 11 different rotating members, focuses on feminism, LGBT rights and opposition to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom they consider a dictator....
Colin L. Powell, a pillar of the Republican Establishment, retired four-star general and son of Jamaican immigrants, endorsed Hillary Clinton for president while blasting GOP rival Donald Trump for painting “our country in a negative light across the globe with all our allies.” The endorsement comes as a surprise because Powell, 79, spoke harshly of both candidates ...
Donald Trump money machine, the Great American political action committee (PAC), has been caught in a sting by London’s Telegraph newspaper over effort to arrange a $2 million “donation” from a foreign national by skirting federal campaign laws.

Donald Trump has already telegraphed his post-election future. It won’t be the White House, more likely it will be the green room. He’s reportedly planning to launch a television network so Stephen Colbert suggested some possible programs. Would you believe a law and order program where Hillary Clinton goes to jail every episode? That’s just one of the possibilities. ...
Donald Trump scored some points in his best debate performance of the presidential campaign, but then threw it all away and likely sealed his fate in the upcoming election by repudiating American democracy. He refused to say he would accept the will of the voters. His remarks were unprecedented in the annals of American democracy, a defining moment in the third and final debate and likely a watershed in the nation’s history. ...
Eminem spits a slew of pop culture references in a staccato rap about Donald Trump that slams the GOP candidate as a “kiss ass” puppet and calls him a “fuckin’ loose cannon who’s blunt with his hand on the button.” No less than former KKK grand wizard David Duke weighed in on the rhyme with an anti-Semitic tweet....

Donald Trump’s conspiracy theories are continuing to grow. No longer satisfied attacking the so-called “mainstream media,” the GOP candidate says comedians, like those on “Saturday Night Live,” are out to get him, too. He might want to take a look at late-night television as well. As his campaign becomes more like theater of the absurd, Trump is providing ample fodder for late-night monologues. ...
Howard Stern, the shock jock who has revealed more about Donald Trump than any other media personality, still calls Donald his friend.

Donld Trump now says even “Saturday Night Live” is out to get him. The GOP candidate railed against the sketch comedy show, even though it has a 40-year history of skewering politicians going back to Gerald Ford. Trump’s outburst followed the show’s cold open, which featured Alex Baldwin as Trump and Kate McKinnon as Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. The skit was a play off of last week’s debate. Alex Moffat played debate moderator Anderson Cooper with Cecily Strong playing co-moderator Martha Raddatz. ...
Russian President Vladimir Putin, already accused of covert intervention in the presidential election, may be trying a more direct route by threatening war with the United States, while a close ally claims only Donald Trump can calm relations between the two countries.

Donald Trump, confronted by a growing number of women who claim he forcefully kissed or groped them in unwanted sexual advances, fell back on a defense used, at first, by Bill Cosby. The disgraced comedian also tried to say he was the victim of lies. It didn’t work for him.

Donald Trump has no one to blame but himself–and Howard Stern–for his campaign meltdown. The radio shock jock’s obsession with sexual depravity is playing a major role in the unraveling of Trump’s presidential bid over allegations of sexual impropriety and general boorishness. Trump, the GOP president nominee, was a frequent guest on Stern’s radio show during the 1990s and early 2000s....
Donald Trump’s vile and abusive boasting about women in a 2005 audio recording, is driving away evangelicals. Christian recording artist William Matthews and Christian artists Michael and Lisa Gungor to spread the word–Trump’s values, campaign tactics and rhetoric are antithetical to Christian values. Williams, a member of The All Americans, and the Gungors have produced a video that includes their new song “Free.” The ballad preaches the values of unity in overcoming oppression...
Donald Trump’s threat to order the U.S. attorney general to investigate Hillary Clinton over deleted emails if elected president would be illegal and shows a profound lack of how the government–and Constitution–work, says a former Attorney General.

Donald Trump went down and dirty to attack on rival Hillary Clinton at last night’s debate, hoping her negative might cancel his negative created by his degrading conversation about women with Billy Bush a decade ago.

Michael Moore, maker of hard-hitting anti-establishment documentaries like “Bowling for Columbine,” has changed his tune after bemoaning for weeks that Donald Trump would win the election. Now he says The Donald is losing… on purpose! WTF? Moore has proved he knows how to put his finger on the pulse of America’s problems. But Trump is befuddling him. ...
Enough is enough, Hillary Clinton should pull out of Sunday’s debate with Donald Trump. With Republican leaders abandoning his campaign by the dozen, why should she give him a national platform to perpetrate more of his bluster on the nation? The guy on the recording, talking about grabbing a girl “by the pussy,” sounds like a convicted rapist, bragging to his prison cellmate. Instead, it’s possibly the next president of the United States. ...
Arnold Schwarzenegger, a staunch Republican, has had his fill of GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump. He joined the ranks of party faithful who are cutting and running in the wake of Trump’s demeaning comments about women and celebrity entitlement. The fallout is the latest following publication of a 2005 “hot mic” conversation between Trump and Billy Bush, who was then a host of celebrity show “Access Hollywood.”...
Donald Trump was unable to clearly articulate his vision for America in the first presidential debate, but his more eloquent running mate, Mike Pence, brought a clarity to his plans that were more Orwellian than Jeffersonian–a police state at home and endless war overseas. Pence squared off against Hillary Clinton’s running mate, Tim Kaine, in the first and only vice presidential debate of the campaign last night. ...
