By the way, the two really, really bad stories I mentioned would soon be dropping still haven't actually dropped.
What a shit show.

I would think it's maintenance for the ad problems.

Jesus FUCKING christ, I cannot wait for this goddamn election to be over.
I'm glad Hillary is gonna win, but anyone with a shred of decency and empathy like me is just getting hammered over and over by all this shit. It's so draining to have to be offended and disgusted over and over again.
Man these lyrics fit so well on what's happening with Trump and crew lol.
Won't this be about as effective as Beyonce demanding her super bowl picture be taken off the internet?

Well, I mean, as long as he keeps trying to hide those tapes he's essentially protecting Trump so..

I believe he explained he has no rights to the tapes due to a purchase by MGM or something.
Unless he can smear the judge, there's about zero chance he could win a lawsuit. Trump would need to prove the NYT knew the story of the women was false. Nigh impossible.
Whew, thought it was just me, haha.

I can't believe that tonight happened. I can't believe the weekend happened. Just imagine tomorrow... wtf did the GOP let loose.
We don't want Trump to drop out. We want him to cross the finish line like Anakin at the end of Revenge of the Sith.

One before, one after would be ideal.
That cease and desist letter read like something Trump shouted dictated, not read and then had someone make it all lawyer-y with their fancy words.

Man I went to /r/the_donald for some schadenfraude, but the delusion is amazing over there. They are convinced that the podesta stuff is just destroying Clinton right now, and a really obvious fake of podestas emails have trump up in CO (fucking lol).
Best of all, based off a 4chan post and the word of Cernovitch (gamergate/diazepam conspiracy/ trouser snake oil salesman (not a joke)) that the 33k missing emails will be dumped in November and WILL indict Clinton... and Obama!
Like holy shit are they grasping at obvious bs.

She is saying Trump is focusing on PA, FL, NC, & OH.
Dude. The moment he said on the debate stage (after refusing to answer the question 4 times) that he didn't ever grope women...THE MOST PREDICTABLE thing on earth was going to be tonight.
After the third debate would absolutely seal this monster from ever taking this presidency. Actually, it doesn't even matter, Trump is royally fucked.

Why even bother.
Pack it up. Trump is going to lose worse than Mondale and the GOP is going to lose the House.
Yep, Streisand Effect at work.
A reporter posted a series of tweet about how this kind of story is vetted that is pretty interesting. Here's the compiled version (everything after the line is him).

Tonight a buddy told me #Trump is despicable, but the women who came out today are lying. Here's what's wrong with that, I told him...
The women who came today are not lying, & here's how I know that. Because if they were quoted in the NYT today, here's what's happened.
NOTE: this is the perspective of the journalist - not the women. I'm relaying what likely occurred from the reporter's perspective.
1st, I assess claims for myself. Asking same Qs diff ways, & asking for corroboration. (Note NYT story emphasized women told friends.)
2nd, I bring an editor in & they do the same. Then we interview friends & see if what they were told by women matches what we were.
3rd, further corroboration. Did anyone see it happen? Could it have been on camera? Did you tell a therapist & did they take notes?
Now, with the story checking out, I warn them. And there are a lot of things to warn them about.
Warning 1) Google. For the next 20 years, the only Google result your name will have is Trump + assault. Will you be okay with that?
Warning 2) Online harassment. You will be bombarded to an extent you cannot imagine. You think you can take it. But maybe you can't.
Warning 3) Credibility. Ppl will call you a liar & other ppl will say you asked for it. Everyone youve ever met will read all of that.
Warning 4) Physical harassment. Ppl will threaten to hurt you. If you have to, do you have a friend that will let you stay with them?
Warning 5) This will affect your mental health. You know you're doing the right thing, but this volume of negativity will get to you.
Warning 6) The media. You are going to receive more requests for interviews than you can handle. Not everyone will act professional.
Warning 7) Legal. You may need to get a lawyer. There is a chance you will be sued, & a lawsuit could last years & bankrupt you.
If you understand all of that, & if you are ok with all of that, let's do the interview. (At this point, someone lying will back out.)
Again: That is the journalist's perspective. The women will go thru more. But that's how the reporter knows they're not lying. #trump

Is it Streisand effect when it's already the biggest story in the country right now?

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
Yes, at first I was thinking:
"He is not going to deny it is he?"
The Access Hollywood Tape is, not these new ones.. yet.
Honestly the Schadenfreude is over for me, let's just vote and move on.
Just a hair mouse
With CO, MI, WI, and VA being basically goners this is his only semi-realistic path to victory. If he takes all four of those then he has a good shot.

I'm giddy and apprehensive every time I wake up in the morning to see what that fine October day has in store for me in the political front.
Trump campaign is now under investigation of foreign espionage as they back channeled hacked data through wikileaks to use on their political opponents. Basically they pulled off a digital Watergate.
