Top 10 Conservative Idiots #47: Bad Hombres & Nasty Women Edition
Welcome back to the season finale of the Top 10 Conservative Idiots! This edition of the Top 10 was made possible through a generous grant from the Chubb! Group in association with the Fillmore Complex. Chubb! Proudly telling people what to think and how to vote since 1923! We are back ladies and gentlemen! World Series getting underway! Thats got to be exciting for fans of the Cleveland Indians! I mean its been what 4 months since the last championship parade that was held in downtown Cleveland? Oh you must be long suffering fans! Also congratulations to the Chicago Cubs who are finally ending their World Series drought. I mean theres finally rain in California, and theres a world series in Chicago. What is this world coming to? But theres one aspect of game 6 on Saturday we *HAVE* to talk about. And thats former Bulls great Scottie Pippen singing Take Me Out To The Ball Game. Lets roll tape.
Ouch. I mean seriously, how do you fuck up that song? Everyone knows it! If youre an American and a sports fan (who isnt?) then its engrained in your blood, even if you dont like baseball! Two year olds can sing that song better! Seriously!!! Thats enough of the intro this week, we have a lot of conservative idiocy to get to. And I mean a lot. But first one of my favorites the great Mr. Weird Al Yankovic, got together with the Gregory Brothers of Songify fame, and recorded a song that made fun of Donald Trump during the debates. Can we show that?
OMG, Donald Trump just continues to shoot himself in the foot, doesnt he? He got destroyed at the Al Smith Dinner, and left like a dog with its tail between its legs. So the first two slots were going to recap exactly what went down at the Al Smith Dinner and its not in favor of Donald Trump (1). Meanwhile, Donald Trump (2) is digging himself further in a hole over his mistreatment of women. In the third slot, Donald Trump (3) found himself at the center of a very creative protest at his Trump Tower on the Las Vegas Strip. Taking the fourth slot, were going to talk about whos already digging a grave on Donald Trumps (4) political career. Taking the 5th slot, were going to talk about the few supporters that Donald Trump (5) still has left. In the number 6 slot, were going to talk about former Red Sox great (?) Curt Shilling (6). He is planning on challenging Elizabeth Warren (good luck with that), and got a cushy job with right wing conspiracy theory website Breitbart. Can a job with Infowars be far behind? In the number 7 slot, the Bathroom Police (7) are back, and founding member Pat McCrory is seriously channeling Bart Simpson. Plus some more cases of the Christian right as actual sex offenders for you. In the number 8 slot, were going to introduce you to presidential candidate Joe Exotic (8) and wow just I cant say anything further. This is too damn good! In the number 9 (NEIN!!!!!) slot, were actually going to talk about Nazis with the Kansas House Speaker (9) calling Hitlers words profound and naturally getting trounced on social media for it. Finally this week youre not going to believe this, especially in time for Halloween, that creepy clowns are in the news! This time its the Rise Of The Planet Of The Creepy Clowns (10), theyre getting arrested, fined, banned, the tables are turning on Americas creepy clowns! But its spreading all over the world! Plus since youre nice, for listening to my schtick, a bonus. Were taking a week off next week, were going to get you in the mood for Halloween with some live music. And who is more associated with Halloween, than Mr. Rob Zombie? I cant think of too many people thats for sure! And hes got a new album out with an unusual title, and he will be stopping by to play something from it! Enjoy! And as always dont forget the key!

One more thing about the Cubs before we dive head first into all things Donald J. Trump this week. And just like the last couple of weeks, its going to get dark really fast, so we need to find things to lighten it up. I had a family friend who was a die hard Cubs fan since the 1920s and lived in Chicago her whole life, who passed away a couple years ago at the age of 89. I actually did get to attend a Cubs Angels game at Wrigley with her about four years ago and Im very grateful for that. So with that in mind, heres another Cubs superfan that we must pay props to. Can we roll that?
Thats right nothing says 71 year drought over like shots of Jagermeister! Dorothy, we salute you!
So now lets dive into the world of all things possible future president Donald J. Trump has been up to this week. Starting with the Al Smith dinner. Holy shit, did he look like a deer in car headlights or what?
Four years ago, as a speechwriter for President Obama, I commissioned a binder full of women.
A little context. It was the morning of the Al Smith Dinner, the election-year tradition in which both parties nominees don white-tie attire and deliver comedy monologues to New York Citys elite. Our opponent, Governor Mitt Romney had recently used the words binders full of women while discussing gender parity in government. Eager to mock the clumsy phrase, I asked a staffer on the advance team to put together a prop.
But our binder never saw the light of day. Obama nixed the idea. I remember being disappointed by the presidents decision, and wondering if POTUS was phoning it in. Of the jokes that did make it into the final draft, one in particular stood out for its authenticity.
In less than three weeks, voters in states like Ohio and Virginia and Florida will decide this incredibly important election. Which begs the questionwhat are we doing here?

Whoa lets stop there. You have white people wearing white attire. I mean just look at this crowd!
Seriously dressage could not even begin to compete with this kind of billionaire pretentiousness. Now pay close attention to that guy sitting right behind Donald Trump. Just watch what happens when Trump tells the first joke and how fucking awful it is!
Yeah thats about how we all felt watching the most cringe-worthy speech of the Donald Trump campaign so far! And this is coming from a guy whos opening speech called the entire country of Mexico rapists and job stealers! Theres more though, so much more!
It was tense even before they started. Reporters tweeted that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump entered the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner from separate sides of the room, and didn't even shake hands (which at this point really isn't a surprise).
But there was hope that Thursday night's event could serve as a comedic salve for the nation following three decidedly nasty presidential debates. The fundraising event for Catholic charities now in its 71st year traditionally is a time for the candidates to offer jokes about themselves and their opponent.
Trump spoke first, and it was hard at times to tell if he was joking. Trump complained about all the politicians who loved him, his money and his endorsements before he decided to run for president. "Suddenly, [they] decided when I ran for president as a Republican that I've always been a no-good, rotten, disgusting scoundrel. And they totally forgot about me." And he continued, to silence from the crowd, "but that's OK."

But theres even more to the Al Smith Dinner were still not done!
First, lets recognize some lines that did show a mature sense of humor. Trump:
You know, Cardinal Dolan and I have some things in common. For instance, we both run impressive properties on Fifth Avenue. Of course, his is much more impressive than mine. Thats because I built mine with my own [pause] beautifully formed [longer pause] hands.
Michelle Obama gives a speech and everyone loves it, its fantastic. They think shes absolutely great. My wife Melania [as Trump said this, the camera showed her shaking her head and smiling, clearly in on the joke] gives the exact same speech, and people get on her case.
Hillary accidentally bumped into me, and she very civilly said pardon me. [Pauses as many in the room laughed]. And I very politely replied, let me talk to you about that once I get into office.
The last one started to cross the line from self-deprecating to sniping, but the room laughed, and if hed stopped there, he wouldve been okay.

Thats it? Thats the best ya got? Pardon me? I love the band Incubus and Id much rather listen to their song Pardon Me a million times before I listen to that joke again! You know what? Fuck it, lets play that shit!
Ah I feel better! But things continue to get worse for Donald T. and the Women:
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump vented at an adult film star on Monday who has accused him of groping her.
Over the weekend, actress Jessica Drake said that Trump kissed her and two of her friends without permission. She also claimed that he later offered her $10,000 for sex.
In a Monday interview on New Hampshire radio station WGIR, Trump lashed out at Drake.
These are stories that are made up, its total fiction, Trump told radio host Jake Heath. Youll find out that in the years to come, these women that stood up, its all fiction. They were made up. I dont know these women.
Its not my thing to do what they say. I dont do that, he continued. I dont grab them as they say on the arm. One said, He grabbed me on the arm. And shes a porn star! This one that came out recently, He grabbed me and he grabbed me on the arm.'
Trump added sarcastically: Oh, Im sure shes never been grabbed before.

[font size="8"]Donald Trump[/font]
We have to show this from the Hillary Camp - Donald Trump loves conspiracy theories so much you can make your own Donald Trump branded Tin Foil Hat! I'm sure Alex Jones and Roger Stone already have them made!
So last week we talked about Donald Trumps extremely poor taste photo opportunity when hes been embroidered in scandal after scandal involving his mistreatment of women during his time as the head of the Miss Universe pageant. Can we show that picture again?
Excuse me a minute
OK so now Donald Trump has come full circle and done the most Donald Trump thing his presidential candidacy has done so far he is threatening to yes, sue the women who are accusing him of sexual harassment. Now like most Donald Trump lawsuits, he isnt going to do anything with them. He just uses them for show. Kind of like the way he uses Chris Christie as a stage prop.
Even Chris Christie in that picture is like What the fuck am I doing here?. So Donald Trump is threatening to sue the women accusing him of sexual harassment.
Donald J. Trump threatened to sue The New York Times for libel on Wednesday night in response to an article that featured two women accusing him of touching them inappropriately years ago, but the newspaper defended its reporting and told Mr. Trumps lawyer that we welcome the opportunity to have a court set him straight.
The threat of legal action comes as the Trump campaign has been ensnared in controversy after the release of a video last week that showed the Republican nominee for president demeaning women and bragging about being able to force himself on women without consequence. During a presidential debate on Sunday night, Mr. Trump said that it was just locker-room talk and that he never did those things.
Mr. Trump told The Times that the allegations of the two women were false and his lawyer, Marc E. Kasowitz, demanded that the newspaper retract the story and issue an apology.

Hes suing the NY Times, folks! I mean if that doesnt say Im guilty then what does? And Donald, when youre already in a hole, you might want to stop digging!
But seriously, Donald is in so much shit over this its almost unbelievable. But in, again, the most Donald Trump way fashionable hes too busy to actually go through with the lawsuit!
Donald Trump hasn't moved forward on his threat to sue the women accusing him of unwanted sexual advances because he's busy with the presidential election, his campaign manager said Sunday. When asked by "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd, "Why not sue them now?" Kellyanne Conway responded: "Because we're busy winning the presidency."
"We're a little bit busy over here doing that," she said. "He's just putting people on notice that they can't just falsely accuse him."
Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, opened up a rally in Gettysburg, Pa., on Saturday by promising to sue the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct. "Every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign," Trump said.

And yes there is tape of this. Can we roll it?
But seriously is Donald Trump channeling Charlie Sheen during his winning phase? Because he really does seem to be going that way. Maybe hes abusing steroids too? Because he might at least start after seeing what is happening.
Jill Harth, the first woman who publicly accused Trump of sexual misconduct, released a statement on Sunday in which she explained that she only chose to speak up after he called her a liar.
Trumps calling me a liar again yesterday only strengthens my resolve to speak the truth about what he did to me.
Lisa Bloom, Harths attorney, said she would continue to proudly represent her client through any lawsuits.
And then she goes for the jugular:
In that lawsuit I would take the deposition of Trump and all of his enablers, and subpoena his business and personal records as well as any recordings that may exist in which he brags about sexual assault, such as the Access Hollywood recording and potentially, the Apprentice raw footage.
Be careful what you wish for, Mr. Trump, said Allred. If you sue the accusers, the lawyers who represent these women will have the opportunity to depose you.
In plain English, you will be required to testify under oath and the womens lawyers will welcome the opportunity to question you under oath.
You may find the questions may include all the women with whom you have had sexual interaction.

But now the tables are turning my friends! Now Donald Trump is going on the defense, because counter suits are possibly being launched!
Seeking to re-set the presidential race, Donald Trump unveiled his "closing arguments" speech Saturday that included an agenda for his first 100 days in office, attacks on Hillary Clinton and the media, and threats to sue women who have accused him of inappropriate sexual advances.
"All of these liars will be sued after the election is over," Trump said of his accusers during his remarks in Gettysburg, Pa.
The latest accusation surfaced Saturday, when adult film actress Jessica Drake said that at a golf tournament in 2006 Trump invited her and two other women to his suite and kissed them on the lips without permission. Trump, who has steadfastly denied all the claims, said members of the media "are trying to poison the mind of the American voter."

Yeah a little too late to hit the reset button there, Donald!

Tacos. You can go to a real Mexican restaurant and get tacos that look like this:
Or you can go to Burger King and get the Whopperito. I mean seriously what the fuck is this thing? Its not a burrito. Its not a burger. Its not a sandwich, and Im pretty sure it does not qualify as any sort of authentic Mexican food.
So why am I brining up gourmet Mexican food? Well I dont count the chicken and waffle breakfast taco at Taco Bell as gourmet Mexican food. OK Im getting carried away here. Back to the real story. We go to Las Vegas for this where the Vegas version of Trump Tower was met with protests from the taco trucks of Las Vegas. I love this story.
This was inevitable. This collision of two notable, and objectionable, moments from the Donald Trump campaign: a wall and taco trucks.
A half dozen taco trucks formed a "wall" outside the Trump International Las Vegas hotel, hours before the presidential debate Wednesday.
"If you don't get out and vote, this clown could be president," a worker told the crowd as he pointed at the building.

Now this . This is a protest that I want to be a part of! I mean who wouldnt want taco trucks as far as the eye can see? That sounds fucking awesome!!!
And remember when Donald Trump tweeted that picture of him eating a taco bowl and declaring that the best taco salads come from Trump Tower on Cinco De Mayo?
Well would you be surprised to learn that its inspired protests all around the world like this one in Belgium which shows Trumpenfuror eating a waffle with his thumbs up?
Restaurants across the country have taken advantage of Donald Trumps laughable attempt at speaking Spanish and cooked up some cheeky dishes at his expense. On Wednesday night during the final presidential debate, when asked about his thoughts on immigration and border protection (as if we didnt already know) Trump decided to test his entry-level español and uttered , We have some bad hombres here and were going to get them out.
The best (and worst) jokes from the Al Smith dinner

The problem is that what he actually said was hambres hambre meaning hungry or hunger in Spanish, so food trucks and restaurants across the nation decided this was the perfect opportunity to showcase some ingenious menu specials.

So we have to talk about whos already digging a grave on Donald Trumps political career. Well for one thing Donald Trumps past is starting to catch up to him. So who is digging a grave on Donald Trumps political career? Why its Donald Trump himself! Just look what he said to John Travoltas wife when their son tragically passed away several years ago.
Even the death of a child couldn't keep Donald Trump from talking about hitting on the boy's mother.
In January 2009, Kelly Preston and John Travolta's son Jett passed away at the age of 16 after suffering a seizure while on a family vacation. Four days later, Trump wrote a blog post dedicated to Preston on the website of the now-defunct Trump University, which has been sued by the state of New York and former students over claims of fraud.
The mogul expressed his condolences to Preston for her loss, but not before he mentioned the time he tried to sleep with her. According to Trump, the attempt failed.

Just .. wow. Not even a day after their son dies, Donald Trump talks about hitting on her. Can you imagine this guy as president going to the funeral of a deceased soldier? Excuse me, maam, Im sorry your husband was killed in Iraq. I was against the war from the beginning. He was a stupid loser, he should have never enlisted. He should have never been near that building that blew up. If he had only been a few feet further to the right, he might have survived. You want to go out on a date sometime? I think youre hot, OK???? So who else wants to say goodbye to the Donald Trump presidential campaign? His own brand!
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/10/damaged-brand-new-trump-hotels-will-no-longer-bear-his-name/
According to Travel + Leisure, new Trump luxury hotels will now bear the Scion name.
According to CEO Eric Danzinger, the new name reflects the family without using the brand name Trump has spent a lifetime building.
We wanted a name that would be a nod to the Trump family and to the tremendous success it has had with its businesses, including Trump Hotels, while allowing for a clear distinction between our luxury and lifestyle brands, Danziger said in a press release.
According to Executive Vice President of Development & Acquisitions, Ivanka Trump, Our business at Trump Hotels is stronger than ever and we are incredibly excited about the future of Scion, the newest brand in our hotel portfolio.

OK first off Donald why would your hotel business be thriving when it's surrounded by taco trucks? Second, havent you ever heard of a car company called Scion? I think I smell a copyright infringement!
And Donald Trump is continuing to dig his own grave here. You know Donald when youre already in a hole, the thing you might want to do is stop digging!

Even Donald Trumps own party is burying him!
Donald Trump has made the terrain so difficult for some GOP congressmen in moderate districts that a handful have threatened to sue TV stations for running ads produced by Democrats tying the Republicans to their nominee, the Huffington Post reported.
The Huffington Post report identified five different Republicans -- whose campaigns have sought to distance themselves or even fully disavow Trump -- who have filed complaints with stations requesting they pull ads linking them to Trump. Some of the letters, which claim the ads are misleading, have included the threat of legal action.
In general, it's not uncommon for politicians to try to get unfair ads against them taken down. But, as Huffington Post notes, lawmakers usually aren't crying defamation over being linked to the presidential nominee of their own party.

In general, it's not uncommon for politicians to try to get unfair ads against them taken down. But, as Huffington Post notes, lawmakers usually aren't crying defamation over being linked to the presidential nominee of their own party.

Sorry GOP but you own this. Donald Trump is your creation. You cant back out of it now.
[font size="8"]Donald Trump Supporters[/font]
But now we have to talk about the few supporters Donald Trump does have left the 44% of white evangelical voters, or the Deplorables. These people just WTF. Before we dive head first into the world of Deplorables, this study shows exactly who the few supporters Trump still has left are. And it's mainly white Christian conservatives. We'll cover their extreme hypocrisy later in this edition.
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2016/10/44-of-white-evangelicals-claim-trump-has-strong-moral-character/
Many white evangelicals believe Trump demonstrates strong moral character.
A new poll shows 44% of white evangelicals believe Trump demonstrates strong moral character, while only 18% of those with no religion agree.
A recent ABC/WaPo poll confirms what many have long suspected concerning the moral judgement of evangelicals, or lack thereof.
Noting the irony of white evangelicals claiming a man who openly brags about sexually assaulting women has strong moral character, Politico reporter Dan Diamond tweeted out the results of the poll:

I like that one. You know lets extrapolate this for a minute. We will cover the Bathroom Police much later this week but we have to dissect the irony here. Christian people are so afraid of transgender people using public bathrooms and locker rooms that theyre actually taking AK47s into these places because vigilantes, yeah! But this guy actually walks into a room where supermodels are getting changed because its nothing I havent seen before. And they think this guy has enough moral character to be president! This fucking guy!
Donald Trump has been caught out boasting about how he was the only man allowed backstage to 'inspect' naked women at the Miss USA pageant because he owned it.
The Republican nominee bragged about the extra power he had during an interview with Howard Stern in April 2005, the tapes of which have been released by CNN.
'Ill tell you the funniest is that Ill go backstage before a show and everyones getting dressed,' Trump said about the pageant.

Well when you look at the caliber of person who still supports Donald Trump, its easy to see why they still support him. Like this winner of a citizen who is salivating over the idea of a second civil war:
Donald Trumps recent rhetoric about rigged elections and a constitutional crisis would fulfill the fantasies of some supporters, whove been stockpiling weapons and food as they look forward to what most people would consider a worst-case scenario.
Jim Moseley, a self-described Christian soldier from Greenville, South Carolina, is buying extra ammunition and canned goods to prepare for what he believes will be a second civil war, reported The (Toronto) Star.
Once the trucks stop rolling, the grocery shelves will go empty and gasoline rationing will go into effect, Moseley wrote in a Facebook message early this week.
The newspaper caught up with Moseley, a 59-year-old retired salesman, earlier this week to discuss Trumps darkening campaign rhetoric.

Matt Forney, a self-described alt-right radio host, suggested this week that there would be a white baby boom after the November election because women are having sex dreams about Donald Trump.
In a tweet on Monday, Matt Forney mocked Cosmopolitan writer Laura Beck, who said that allegations about Trump groping women were impacting her sex life.
On one hand, the thought of being touched by my husband, a man, after spending day upon never-ending day listening to Donald Trumps sexually assaultive language, is not a pleasant one, Beck wrote. On the other, we are both so obsessed with the election that our combined anxiety is killing our sex drives.
Forney responded: I fully endorse shitlibs not having sex due to Trump, it makes them less likely to breed.

Excuse me a minute...
I feel better. You know anyone who uses the word "libtard" or "shitlib" should be disqualified from any sort of public debate, along with anyone who uses the phrase "Make America Great Again" not in a joke context. Like these people who actively left this passive-aggressive note while dining at a restaurant. Once again, irony escapes these people. Read the note, then the irony will become clear.
14702433_10207635092531776_6200157557141035776_nWhen you work at Cracker Barrel in South Carolina, I suppose you are prepared to serve all kinds of people who have injected cream gravy directly into their veins. Its like heroin down there, right? Well this week, a couple of cream gravy addicts rolled their asses into Cracker Barrel for their daily allowance of sugar cured ham and hash brown casserole and decided that, instead of leaving a monetary tip for their waitress, they would bestow some 1950s advice scrawled out onto a bev nap. The photo was sent to me by a few people and it needs to be addressed. Its pretty surprising.
http://thebitchywaiter.com/2016/10/waitress-receives-note-with-ridiculous-advice-instead-of-a-tip.html
So you see the note. Heres the transcript. Its time for English 101 kids, see if you can identify the irony in this note.
Dear <name omitted>, thank you for your excelent service today. Your a good waitress.
Heres your tip:
The womans place is in the home. Youre place is in the home. It even says so in the Bible. You may think that your contributing to your household by coming into work, but your not. While your in here working this is the reason your husband must see another women on his way home from a long day at his work. Because you should be home taking care of the household duties. You may think what you are doing working is right, it is really essentially a disgrace to his manhood and to the American family. So instead of coming to your job and looking for hand outs to feed your family, hows about going home and cleaning your house and cooking a hot meal for your husband and children, the way youre husband and God intended, and help make America great again. Praying for families and our nation.
Love,
<name omitted>

Now if you need some spelling out of the irony here, they are dining out at a restaurant, and telling a waitress to *not* do her job. Need it spelled out again? A guy and his WIFE are dining at a fucking Cracker Barrel. And have the nerve to tell the waitress that she should be at home servicing her husband and in the dang kitchen!! If they wanted to be true to their word, shouldnt they be doing the same instead of dining at a fucking Cracker Barrel? The word deplorable doesnt begin to describe these lunatics.
By the way Tom Hanks owned SNL this weekend as a Trump supporter on a SNL sketch called Black Jeopardy. Can we roll that?
[font size="8"]Curt Schilling [/font]
*Jim Rome voice* Curt Schilling. Guys a legend. He had that whole bloody sock thing with the Red Sox that allowed them to win the world series in that 2004 miracle comeback. OK enough of that. Apologies to Jim Rome, I do a terrible impression of him. But is Curt Schilling really a legend? Remember when he got fired from ESPN for spreading extremely toxic right wing, anti-LGBT memes on Twitter?
Curt Schilling, a former All-Star pitcher and one of the highest-profile baseball analysts on ESPN, was fired from the network Wednesday, a day after he drew intense criticism for promoting offensive commentary on social media.
Schilling, who had worked for the network since 2010 and most recently offered analysis on Monday Night Baseball, was dismissed after sharing a Facebook post this week that appeared to respond to the North Carolina law that bars transgender people from using bathrooms and locker rooms that do not correspond with their birth genders.
The post showed an overweight man wearing a wig and womens clothing with parts of the T-shirt cut out to expose his breasts. It says: LET HIM IN! to the restroom with your daughter or else youre a narrow-minded, judgmental, unloving racist bigot who needs to die.

Yup. Thats the kind of quality commentator that ESPN is looking for. Thats the meme that got him fired and it was pretty well deserved. So what was he up to this week? He wants to play politics and thinks he can beat Elizabeth Warren! Aw . Isnt that special?
The former Boston Red Sox pitching ace Curt Schilling said Tuesday he will seek to unseat Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2018, provided his wife approves.
CBS Providence affiliate WPRI reports Schilling made the announcement on a local call-in radio show while also defending his failed video game business in the state.
Ive made my decision. Im going to run, Schilling said during an interview on WPRO-AM. But but I havent talked to Shonda, my wife. And ultimately its going to come down to how her and I feel this would affect our marriage and our kids.
Shonda herself later called in to the show saying she wasnt sure if shed allow it.
In August, Schilling said he wanted to eventually run for the White House, and that getting elected to a state office was the first step in that plan.

Those in search of further evidence that Donald Trump is using his presidential campaign to market his new $212 million hotel in Washington, please mark your calendars for Wednesday, Oct. 26, when Trump plans to hold a grand opening celebration for the project.
Thats a dozen days before Election Day, Nov. 8. No official word on whether Trump himself will attend as his company, the Trump Organization, confirmed the date but has not yet sent out invitations.
This will be the third major event he has held at the hotel since launching his campaign, part of plugs and promotions for the hotel that he has inserted into campaign events, interviews and rallies.

Oh well. At least hes got a cushy job at right wing conspiracy theorist website Breitbart:
As we watch embers fly from the conflagration that is Donald Trumps unhinged campaign for Americas presidency, it is tempting to start probing questions of its legacy. What will remain after this bad hombre retreats to Trump Tower and ascends the escalator from which he once entered our lives to announce his noxious candidacy?
Much has been written about the toxic brew of misogyny, racism, Islamophobia and xenophobia that Trump has served up in generous quantities at rallies and on the Twittersphere. The rhetoric and malice found here have permeated large parts of the country. Long-harbored grievances and fears are now expressed openly. As Jeremy Scahill of the Intercept observes:
Whether Trump wins, loses, or loses big, he has empowered fascists, racists and bigots. He did not create them, but he has legitimized them by becoming the nominee and openly expressing their heinous, hateful beliefs. This, to me, is one of the most frightening developments on a domestic level in the U.S. this election cycle. Trump may go away, but the people he has empowered will not.

[font size="8"]The Bathroom Police[/font]
So we already discussed the irony of the Christian right seeing Donald Trump as the moral high ground. Yeah right. As Mike Myers once said Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt!!!. So with Donald Trump actually walking in on models getting changed in the locker room, how do the Bathroom Police feel about this? Well its been nearly six months since North Carolinas horrific HB-2 was passed. So what happens now? Well lets ask the original founding member of the Bathroom Police Pat McCrory (R Batshit), shall we?
Raleigh, N.C. Gov. Pat McCrory pointed to a trove of internal Democratic National Committee emails published by WikiLeaks as evidence that the political left engineered the controversy that led to House Bill 2 as a political fundraising tool.
"Well, what's most disturbing is that these emails have clearly shown something we suspected all along and that is the state of North Carolina, the City of Charlotte and especially small businesses were being used as a pawns by Roy Cooper, by the mayor of Charlotte and by the Democratic Party on an issue that was made up purely for political purposes and to raise money," McCrory said during an impromptu news conference Tuesday.
Cooper is North Carolina's attorney general and the Democratic candidate for governor this fall against McCrory.

And we might want to cue the Sad Hulk Music for this one Pat McCrory said that he and his wife have lost friends over this bill! Well boo hoo!!!
Pat McCrory's unwavering support of House Bill 2, which targets which public restrooms transgender people can use, has turned some of his friends against him, the North Carolina governor says.
BuzzFeed News reports that in a speech to the Family Research Council in Raleigh, McCrory said friends told him they couldn't support him out of fear they'll be attacked by Hillary Clinton.
"I've had at least five this week tell me that. Good friends. Very good friends. 'Pat, I love ya. I love ya man, we'll be friends for life. We just can't support you,'" McCrory said.
He said HB2, which forces transgender people to use the public bathroom corresponding with the gender on their birth certificate, has caused much hardship for he and his wife.

Switching subjects lets take a dip in the international conservative idiots file and head to Paris, shall we? And yes in 2016 when you see support for gay marriage is at an all time high its sad to see shit like this still going on.
PARIS (AP) -- Tens of thousands of people have marched in Paris to call for the repeal of a law allowing gay marriage, six months before France's next presidential election.
The protesters ended up at Trocadero Plaza, near the Eiffel Tower. Police estimated the crowd at 24,000, while organizers gave a figure of 200,000.
They were also protesting Sunday against the use of assisted reproduction techniques and surrogate mothers to help same-sex couples have babies.
Assisted reproduction is allowed in France only for infertile heterosexual couples and surrogacy is banned.

Now remember that for every time an innocent trans person is harassed, or murdered simply for being who they are, we must report a sex crime for every time the Christian right feels the need to shoot their mouth off. Now this week, would you have guessed it would be the guy they consider the moral high ground for president?
http://bipartisanreport.com/2016/10/23/he-tied-plaintiff-to-a-bed-sickening-details-emerge-from-trump-rape-case-documents/
Its bad enough that Donald Trump allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl But it turns out the way he raped her is absolutely horrifying, according to sworn testimony from the latest lawsuit filed against him.
A close look at the documents filed by the plaintiff and two other witnesses reveal Donald Trump as a monster that no one who has ever loved a girl or a woman should ever want anywhere near the White House. Seriously, hes that creepy guy every pretty teenage girl has ever been warned about, who will lure them to rape parties by claiming hell help them become models just like his daughter Ivanka.....
Thats right. These alleged rapes occurred in 1994, when Donald Trumps beloved Ivanka was 14, just a year older than Katie Johnson. Just when you thought the infamous photo below couldnt possibly look any more creepy
Katie Johnson suffered four of these encounters with Donald Trump, but the last was the most horrific.
Defendant Trump initiated sexual contact with Plaintiff at four different parties. On the fourth and final sexual encounter with Defendant Trump, Defendant Trump tied Plaintiff to a bed, exposed himself to Plaintiff, and then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff. During the course of this savage sexual attack, Plaintiff loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but with no effect. Defendant Trump responded to Plaintiffs pleas by violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted.

[font size="8"]Joe Exotic[/font]
So weve talked a lot about alternative candidates in this election. We have discussed Jill Stein and Gary Johnson a lot. Why would you even vote for these people? If youre a Bernie Sanders supporter who is still frothing at the mouth that hes not the nominee well get over it. Bernies doing as much to unite the party against Donald Trump as anybody. At this point maybe youre still fed up with Trump, Hillary, Stein, and Johnson that you might sit out this election altogether. Well, you are wrong good sir / madam! I give you Joe Exotic, first profiled on Last Week Tonight:
So lets expand further. I went down the worm hole on Joe Exotic. And he is quite possibly more insane than Donald Trump is. Take a look at one of his videos.
That one tiger looks like its about ready to pounce on him and start mauling him Simpsons style, doesnt it? So lets explore a bit more, shall we?
Are you feeling indifferent about the upcoming election? Does neither candidate excite you? Maybe you should consider a third party candidateno, not Gary Johnson or Jill Stein.
Were talking about Joe Exotic, the gay Oklahoma animal wrangler whos pegging his Oval Office hopes on a write-in campaign.
John Oliver profiled Exotic (born Joe Schreibvoge) on Sundays edition of Last Week Tonight. (His segment starts at about the 1:40 mark).
According to his video, Exotic is unapologetically gayIve had two boyfriends most of my lifeand also broke as sh*t. He says he wont change a thing about himself if hes elected president, so dont expect no fancy suits or a haircut.

Now is this not the guy you want running for president? Oh were not done! Theres more to this mysterious new candidate!
In the above Oct. 18 interview with Canote Films, Exotic explained how his views differ from Republican nominee Donald Trump specifically. I dont know what the f*ck hes smoking, because you cant throw 10 million people out of this country cause we dont have 10 million white people thatll work ― and thats a fact, he said. Being gay gave me the ability to open my heart and my mind to let people live how the hell the way to live.
Exotic could find some support among those seeking a more down-to-earth candidate than Hillary Clinton and Trump, or even better-known third party hopefuls Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, Oliver said Sunday.
Joe Exotic is truly the candidate youd want to sit down and have a beer with, then another beer, and then several more beers until youre drunk enough to try meth for the first time, Oliver told his viewers, before suggesting that Trumps campaign slogan could easily be adapted for the presidential hopeful: Joe Exotic: Make American Exotic Again.

[font size="8"]Peggy Mast[/font]
Finally! We get to use the number 9 (NEIN!!!) slot to talk about actual Nazis. Specifically Kansas House Speaker Peggy Mast. Who used the magic of social media to, well, break the first rule of social media. And that is dont say anything youll regret saying later. Lets explain further.
A Kansas House leader said Thursday that her intent was to criticize Planned Parenthood when she called Adolf Hitlers words profound in a Facebook post.
Great quote from Hitler in the video, Speaker Pro Tem Peggy Mast, R-Emporia, the No. 3 Republican in the Kansas House, posted to her Facebook page Thursday morning. Please listen to it closely. His words are profound! Lets start using discernment.
Mast, who is not seeking re-election, did not return phone calls. She did, however, take to social media to clarify her position.
She said in another Facebook post that her intent was to compare Planned Parenthood, the countrys largest reproductive health provider, to the Nazi leader and that she was not in any way agreeing with Hitlers words.

She said in another Facebook post that her intent was to compare Planned Parenthood, the countrys largest reproductive health provider, to the Nazi leader and that she was not in any way agreeing with Hitlers words.

I think Adolf himself would like to have a word with you, Ms. Mast:
Eh, Im not really feeling this entry. Lets switch subjects and talk about Bob Dylan. You guys and gals OK with that? What the fuck is up with Bob Dylan getting the Nobel Prize for Literature?
Bob Dylan has won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature.
An American has won the Nobel Prize in Literature for the first time in 23 yearsbut in a shocking decision, songwriter Bob Dylannot novelists Philip Roth, Don DeLillo, or Thomas Pynchonwon for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition. Dylans citation also compared him to Homerthe Swedish Academy had to reach back 3,000 years to find a precedent.
Born Robert Zimmerman in 1941, Dylan was the enfant terrible of the New York City folk scenea impish trickster who annoyed (and stole from) many of his elders, particularly Dave Van Ronk and Pete Seger. Dylan first broke out in the early 1960s as a part of a growing movement of songwriters who were writing and performing topical material about the Civil Rights Movement and other current events. Dylan has been labeled a topical songwriter since that period, but he spent only a short period writing songs like When The Ship Comes In and The Times They Are A Changin

But for some reason Bob Dylan is being oddly silent. I mean didnt he just play that crazy Desert Trip concert to a sold out crowd of 75,000?

STOCKHOLM Many writers might give their right arm to be paid almost $1 million to deliver a lecture. But Bob Dylan's silence since he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature might mean he never sees the award money.
The American singer-songwriter, a cultural icon of dissent and protest from the 1960s onward, has said nothing about the award announced two weeks ago. But under Nobel rules, the winner must give one lecture on literature - or in Dylan's case even a concert - within six months to receive the $900,000 prize money.
Per Wastberg, a member of Swedish Academy that presents the award, has said that Dylan's silence is "rude and arrogant".
The Nobel Foundation does not accept any rejections of the prize - Dylan's name will be listed as the winner in 2016 whatever he says. But the award money is a different matter.
As a condition, Dylan must give a lecture on a subject "relevant to the work for which the prize has been awarded" no later than 6 months after Dec. 10, the anniversary of dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel's death.

We need some appropriate music for this entry. Can we get that please?
Really? I mean really? Thats what were going with? Well OK fine. I mean come on surely we can do better than that, right?
Now you guys are just screwing with me! You know I dont want to talk about creepy clowns, but as long as they keep popping up in the news, we have to talk about it! They have long since left the confines of the Greensboro, North Carolina woods. And its not just in America either, creepy clowns are popping up all over the world! Like in Germany for instance:
Berlin police said on Saturday that two masked men in clown costumes attempted to rob a 25-year-old man in the German capital's neighborhood of Schöneberg. The man managed to break free from the assailants, but the masked men were able to escape and police have opened an investigation into the case.
Prior to that, incidents were reported in several other areas in Germany: a person dressed as a clown and wielding a chainsaw terrified a woman in the western town of Wesel, the dpa news agency reported.
A 15-year-old in Rostock was chased by a clown with a knife on Thursday, and a 33-year-old deaf man was injured in a knife attack by two men wearing clown masks in the German city of Gelsenkirchen.
Now, police have warned of more possible attacks on Halloween, fearing the holiday will make it easier for people to mask themselves as clowns and prank strangers, or even commit crimes.

But heres the question that has not been asked yet of the creepy clown craze. First off, worst craze ever. Second, worst music festival ever. And that question is simple what do they want? What is the ultimate end game for todays modern creepy clown? Is there some sort of underground creepy clown fight club and theyre enacting their own version of Project Mayhem?
The Great Clown Scare of 2016 started in the dog days of August, when a young man began wandering the streets of Green Bay, Wis., in gruesome black-and-white clown makeup, carrying black balloons. (It was later revealed that he was doing guerrilla marketing for a horror short.) A few weeks later, children in a Greenville, S.C., apartment complex told the police about clowns flashing green laser lights in nearby woods and trying to lure them with cash. The complex issued a warning to residents, but the police found nothing not one frizzy strand of clown-wig hair.
Nevertheless, reports of sinister clowns have spread to at least 20 states, and abroad, causing school closings and several arrests. Notably, no American children have been physically harmed, though last week a man in a clown mask in Sweden stabbed a teenager in the shoulder. Law-abiding clowns are predictably upset, and have organized at least one Clown Lives Matter protest in response.
Creepy clown sightings arent new. They date from at least May 1981, when the cryptozoologist Loren Coleman coined the term phantom clowns to describe them. At the time, children in Brookline, Mass., were reporting clowns in vans who beckoned them with promises of candy. The police issued an all-points bulletin, established checkpoints and conducted searches, but no clowns were captured.

But the tides are now turning! You know last time we talked about creepy clowns, the creepy clowns were fighting back against negative images (see Idiots #44 by posting the creepiest image imaginable and expecting people to show up at a peace rally!
You know Im no PR expert but Im pretty sure thats *NOT* the image you want to use when you want to project a positive image! But the tides are turning! Now residents are fighting back against creepy clowns!
A Mississippi county has had enough of the creepy clown phase.
Kemper County, Mississippi's Board of Supervisors voted recently to make it unlawful to wear a clown costume in public. The ban covers all ages and includes costumes, masks or makeup.
Violation of the ban can result in a fine of up to $150.
The ban which will expire the day after Halloween comes at the request of the county sheriff, the Kemper County Messenger reported. It comes after a series of reports from around the country and Alabama that spooky-looking clowns were threatening children and schools. Some of those reports were later debunked and a few led to arrests with concerns over the creepy clown phenomenon growing as Halloween approaches.
Sales of creepy clown masks and costumes have skyrocketed in recent weeks though some retailers, such as Target, have pulled them from the shelves.

Wait a minute back it up! Beep! Beep! So Target youre banning something popular from store shelves and not thinking about your profit margins? I mean what has the world come to? Maybe they saw this story out of San Francisco where guys wearing clown masks attempted to carry guns through a shopping mall. Yikes.
Three men carrying "creepy clown" masks and a gun fled from the Westfield San Francisco Centre on Sunday afternoon, after being discovered by security guards during a routine grounds check.
The guards were reportedly walking through the emergency stairwells in the mall when they found the men, according to the San Francisco Examiner. San Francisco police spokesman Officer Carlos Manfredi told the Examiner SFPD was informed about the incident at about 3:15 p.m. and confirmed that the masks were of the "creepy clown" variety.
"They saw three suspects, two clown masks that they were holding, and one of the three brandished a gun," Manfredi told the Examiner.

So I guess the question that needs to be asked is, what do the creepy clowns gain out of this? That is what newspapers like USA Today are starting to ask. Even the White House the White House!!! Was forced to comment on the creepy clown situation!
Schools in Cincinnati, Ohio, closed on Friday because a woman reported being attacked by a male dressed as a clown. Another woman, who reported being attacked by a clown early Saturday, was later arrested after police confirmed that she lied about being attacked by a knife-wielding person dressed as a clown.
The phenomenon has even managed to get the attention of the White House, where Press Secretary Josh Earnest was asked about the recent rash of creepy clown arrests on Tuesday.
I don't know that the president has been briefed on this particular situation, Earnest said. Obviously, this is a situation that local law enforcement authorities take quite seriously and they should carefully and thoroughly review, you know, perceived threats to the safety of the community and they should do so prudently.

But my favorite thing in this whole creepy clown mess? Is that it has brought out the Dark Knight, the Caped Crusader himself Batman, to fight the creepy clowns! We need some of the Dark Knight theme here. Can we get that?
When evil clowns invade your neighborhood, theres only one man with the skills and experience to properly handle the situation.
Batman. Obviously.
Thats exactly who came to the rescue when an invasion of creepy clowns began popping up in Cumbria, England, just like weve seen here in America. BBC reports that these mysterious monsters have scared a number of young children (plus a bunch of adults, probably).
Luckily, a man known only as Cumbria Superheroes did the most sensible thing possible: he put on his pitch-perfect Dark Knight Batsuit and hit the streets to dish out the kind of dark vengeance that would make Martha proud.
No, hes not punching anyone At least, as far as we know. Instead, hes giving them a taste of their own medicine by scaring them off.

Id like to take a moment to talk directly to the audience here. Hi, Im DU user and founder of the new Top 10, Initech. Weve been doing the Top 10 for the better part of a year now and following this insane election cycle way more closely than most people have been. And having a lot of fun in the process. This is the end of season 1, but some good news - we got renewed for Season 2!!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!
This is the last new Top 10 before the November 8th election. Now dont be sad! This is it folks, its literally the 11th hour and its time to send the worst candidate in American history packing. Were going to take two weeks off starting next week but well be back on November 16th when the dust settles from the election with the start of Season 2 and a special edition that will hopefully see Donald Trump getting annihilated in a landslide. But we will be doing a best of next week to hold you over. Thats it! Stop with my nonsense and GOTV against Donald Trump! See you on the other side for the start of Season 2!
See you in three weeks!
