I can't stop laughing at the absurdity of the last few days.

It's like a political fever dream, except it's real. This is the state of politics in 2016.

 

[Dominican Power]

I missed the drama.

 

[kevin1025]

That's one way to lose an election.

 

[metalslimer]

So Conway has no say anymore does she?

10 bucks says she resigns tomorrow.

 

[Oblivion]

It's this person

Oh shit, they brought her in as well? Good god, as if I wasn't disgusted enough already..

 

[Plinko]

So have we discussed Mike Pence asking to be removed from the ticket? Just saw it on twitter... Waiting for a better source ideally.

If this actually happens, this is an absolute trainwreck of an election.

I'm not buying it yet, but oh man. Is this unprecedented?

It's all too surreal.

 

[Dan]

Damn, Pence wanted to see how Trump would handle himself today. How's Pence feeling right about now?

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Like, it's breaking right now. It's probably because of this ridiculous stunt he pulled with the press conference before the debate that got Pence to drop.

Oh boy.. Rome is burning and everyone has a fiddle to play

 

[Officerrob]

I want this motherfucker humiliated

 

[Y2Kev]

Conway is with Trump. She knows what he is doing. Fuck ALL of them.

 

[TyrantII]

Diffrent times and all, but last time they tried this it gave us a Democratic Congress and a GOP drubbing.

Please proceed you tiny fingered, chetto faced, ferret wearing shit gabbon.

 

[Boke1879]

So Conway has no say anymore does she?

As if she ever did. Clinton could win the debate but I feel regardless of that she's releasing that Oppo. That's going to be revenge for this.

 

[Tendo]

This is just depressing now. Parading those women, then bringing them out in front of Hillary. I know she is strong but damn... I can't help but feel so sad for her.

Bring him down Hillary.

 

[Y2Kev]

YAAAS DRAG HIM SEN MCCASKILL

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

This. Whoever stands with him is irredeemable.

 

[Vestal]

They need to bar them from the fucking building. This is a debate for the PRESIDENCY of the United States, not a fucking reality show. This is a serious event.. JFC I am livid with this bullshit right now.

 

[Plinko]

Wait--somebody in the other thread says CNN is reporting all 4 women will be in the debate hall as Trump's guests?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Wait--somebody in the other thread says CNN is reporting all 4 women will be in the debate hall as Trump's guests?

They will be in the audience.

 

[shem935]

Wait--somebody in the other thread says CNN is reporting all 4 women will be in the debate hall as Trump's guests?

Yup

 

[MHWilliams]

Wait--somebody in the other thread says CNN is reporting all 4 women will be in the debate hall as Trump's guests?

This is what we've heard.

 

[Chase17]

Wait--somebody in the other thread says CNN is reporting all 4 women will be in the debate hall as Trump's guests?

That's the word

 

[nintendoman58]

Off topic, but what show is this gif from?

YAAAS DRAG HIM SEN MCCASKILL

What is America's Aunt saying?

 

[Hazmat]

I want to see a Republican have the balls to drop him right now. Don't be a wuss and do it after, get a little of your souls back and do it now.

 

[Officerrob]

Wait--somebody in the other thread says CNN is reporting all 4 women will be in the debate hall as Trump's guests?

That's what's being reported, Trump has gone full WWE

 

[metalslimer]

Wait--somebody in the other thread says CNN is reporting all 4 women will be in the debate hall as Trump's guests?

Yep they will be in the audience along with Bill. I wouldn't be surprise if he told them to heckle Clinton

 

[Basileus777]

So have we discussed Mike Pence asking to be removed from the ticket? Just saw it on twitter... Waiting for a better source ideally.

That tweet is 9 hours old. If that had actually happened news would have broke already.

 

[B-Dubs]

How badly do you think Paul Ryan is crying right now?

He's passed out drunk. His eyes crusty with dried tears, with each soft breath he whimpers about what Trump's doing to the party, as he sleeps the worst sleep he's ever had.

 

[Y2Kev]

The women heckling Clinton would be a huge fucking disaster for the GOP.

I think Trump is holding the entire GOP hostage.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Why is Broaddrick agreeing to show up with these other three women?

The other two women have no cases and the rape victim has nothing except that Hillary follows the constitution.

Those three women have no comparison with Broaddrick's case.

 

[mj1108]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh why do all these terrible things always happen when I'm away from the thread for an hour

Thanks for leaving. Just do it a couple more times.

 

[Drakeon]

My bad, I saw it retweeted just now in my feed, didn't realize it was that old.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

No idea how Hillary will handle the Bill rape accusations. She can't be condescending towards them.

 

[Sibylus]

You Damn Well Knew I Was a Snake Before You Took Me In~

 

[Chase17]

The Ayotte role model slip has become so much worse as the week progressed.

 

[metalslimer]

No idea how Hillary will handle the Bill rape accusations. She can't be condescending towards them.

She will ignore it. There is no benefit in tackling it

 

[Y2Kev]

Campaign responding:

we are not surprised to see donald trump continue his destructive race to the bottom. hrc understands the opportunity of this town hall. this stunt doesn't change that. if DT doesnt see that, that's his loss. as always, hrc is prepared to handle.

 

[CygnusXS]

Theoretically, Trump can't go any lower than this right? There's nothing else he can pull out?

Crossposting from the main thread because I want this answered.

As scummy as Trump is for using these women, and as much as I am sympathetic to their distress at being victims of sexual harassment, I have to question: Why the hell are they there? Why agree to this?

Trump is literally the exact kind of guy that not only dismissed their claims, insulted them, but in all probability raped his own wife and possibly others in his lifetime. Everything about his regard of all women as sexual objects (including his own daughter) and his obsessions with being having dominant power in every relationship he seems to have is indicative of everything that would allow him to get away with doing what Bill Clinton has allegedly done.

This isn't to dismiss the pain they feel or even question the validity of their claims against bill clinton. But even if they feel a profound hatred toward the clintons, how can they sit beside and ally themselves with fucking TRUMP, whose own wife claims he raped her and was silenced by Trump's lawyers threats and statements of husbands not being able to rape their wives?

Let me also emphasize again that I have no wish to victim blame or anything like that. But I can't understand how these women perceived this to be a good idea. I can't understand how they don't see that he's using them or that they aren't helping their cases by doing this. I'm not saying they should stay silent about it, but this? Trying to take down an alleged rapist by allying themselves with another alleged rapist? What?

In a shocking discovery that is leaving scientists baffled, Reince Priebus has been found to be more Bailey's than human.

I was thinking the same thing. Her participating in this Trump circus does nothing but hurt her case.

They hate Bill and Hillary Clinton more than they hate Trump. I can't see someone throwing themselves back out in the media firing squad of any rape accusation, let alone one of Presidential importance, without an extended amount of hatred, righteous retribution, or money.

 

[mj1108]

Why the hell are they there? Why agree to this?

Trump is a desperate, desperate man.

 

[TS-08]

I'm not convinced Trump will go into many attacks on Bill's past at the actual debate. I think this was just to push the stories of these women into the forefront to move the story of the tape out of the media as much as possible.

 

[shem935]

Theoretically, Trump can't go any lower than this right? There's nothing else he can pull out?

Still hasn't called her the c word yet. Give it time.

 

[StormBrute]

Fucking hell, is Chelsea going to be there? Is Trump marching those women into the audience with Chelsea there?

 

[Dierce]

I'm completely sure Hillary is fully prepared for this.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Impersonate a monkey while insulting Obama.
Call for an armed insurrection
Call Hillary a cunt on stage tonight

If you're looking for a logical answer there isn't one. What we do isn't always dictated by logic. That's just how it is.
