“He and I haven’t spoken, and I disagree.”

Donald Trump needs to call his vice-president. They haven’t talked about foreign policy.

Big moment, IMHO, in tonight’s debate.

We’re at Category IV Trumpocalypse and there are two categories past that one…

… but UD is looking forward to yet another category (after Trumpageddon and Trumperdämmerung) — Trumpergisnacht, when with bonfire and song we celebrate the renewal of the republic.

John McCain is my name…

I’m at last on the Not-Trump train…

Now it’s REALLY getting interesting.

TIC-TAC DENOUNCES DONALD TRUMP

October 8th, 2016
‘Asked in 2006 by L’Express if she suffered from his reputation as a womanizer, she said: “No! I’m even proud of it. It’s important to seduce, for a politician. As long as he is still attracted to me, and I to him, it is sufficient.”’

UD suggests Melania Trump take the French way out. She should plagiarize this now-famous statement by Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s now-ex-wife, and turn what is for others a problem into a point of pride.

Herself a European, Melania can bring the proper accent to this defense of the politician as seducer — a defense I’m sure American women will find compelling.

“On Saturday morning, Sen. Kelly Ayotte was the first vulnerable GOP incumbent to withdraw her support. … ‘I will be writing in Governor Pence for president on Election Day.'”

I’ve got Mike Pence
Jolly jolly Mike Pence
I’ve got Mike Pence to save my party’s life
But beware if you’re gay
Or like Roe v Wade
For Mike Pence is gonna bring you strife

No Trump have I to grieve me
My climate skeptic Mike doesn’t peeve me
I’m happy as a lark believe me
As we go rolling, rolling home
Rolling home (rolling home)
Rolling home (rolling home)
By the light of the silvery moo-oo-on
Happy is the soul when I line up at the poll
As we go rolling, rolling home.

Trumper Song

This is a man who thinks with his dick
His dick is not always wise
This is a man who stumbles and falls
But this is a man who tries

This is a man you forgive and forgive
And help and protect as long as you live

He will not always say
What you would have him say
But now and then he’ll say Pussy! Grabbee! Me!

The thoughtless things he’ll do
Will hurt and worry you
Then all at once he’ll do something… actionable!

He has a thousand cunts he wants to screw
You know that he’ll go after them
And that’s enough for you

You’ll always go along
Defend him when he’s wrong
And tell him to his schlong
You’re wonderful!

He’ll always need your vote
And so he’ll get your vote
A man who needs your vote
Can be … actionable!

The Donald Trump Presidential Campaign has become…

a blue movie.

Get ’em while they’re…

hot.

GOP Upbeat about Trump Erection Prospects

Election, less so.

October 8th, 2016
‘Added Karen Fesler, an Iowa conservative activist who still supports Trump: “He does not make it easy to support him.”’

It cost me a lot
And now he’s grabbing twat
He’s my man

Get the net. Nuts? You bet
But all that I soon forget with my man

He’s not much for looks
And no hero out of books is my man
Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me, but I love him…

Oh, my man, I love him so, he’ll never know
All my life is just despair, but I don’t care

His little fingers in the night
Make my world bright, all right…

What’s the difference if I say I’ll go away
When I know I’ll come back on my knees someday
For whatever my man is, I am his forever more…

Republicans and Trump: PUSSY RIOT

Trump supporters fight among themselves over the pussy.

**********

Ayotte really trying to walk back the whole ‘role model’ thing.

***********

Giuliani: ‘The reality is, you’ve got all this pussy everywhere. The man’s a genius. He knows how to grab it for his own benefit.’

***********

Reed: ‘Somebody say AMEN! Guy’s welcome to grab my pussy anytime.’

Trump’s hot dog misses its moment.

Journalists covering a Toledo, Ohio, campaign stop by Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, were ushered out of a restaurant soon after the [pussy] story broke. The press was supposed to cover Pence looking at a wall of signed hot dogs, including one by Trump, but were later told they couldn’t record the moment.

October 7th, 2016
Ayotte…

… not to have said that, Part 2.

(Part 1.)

October 6th, 2016
If YOU were Giuliani’s Daughter…

… wouldn’t you be for anyone he was against?
