I love imagining what's going on behind the scenes at moments like this.

[nolabear]

Rachel, Tweety, everyone is furiously rewriting and phoning every potential commentator within reach. SNL is throwing out a couple of segments and thanking Baby Jesus. Hillary's people are furiously editing together a fabulous ad. Ted Cruz is filling a bathtub and finding a straight razor. And Kellyanne Conway is being held back by two burly Secret Service agents.

[nixonwasbetterthanW]

1. To say nothing of the dialogue between Donald and (the latest) Mrs. Trump

[nolabear]

2. I'll bet she's not even near the top of his list of people to defend to.

He figures he can get away with anything, right?

[Chemisse]

24. I agree. I don't think he respects her at all.

She is nothing more to him than the latest model, and probably overdue for a trade-in.

[anamandujano]

49. I doubt she's ever been anything more than a prisoner. She has probably hoping for years that

he would move on to his next wife so she could be free.

[eissa]

7. "Donald, vhy you say dees tings vhen vee jus marr-eed?!"

That poor dear is probably walking around in a botox haze, ordering the servants around her gaudy gold-plated monstrosity.

[Hekate]

11. Probably having secret meetings with her lawyer, going over the pre-nup ...

...with a fine-tooth comb.

[eissa]

13. If she has any functioning brain cells

that's exactly what she should be doing. She's young enough to snag another sugar daddy. As for him, well, he's "a star" so he can get pussy anytime

[Hekate]

15. Probably enough settlement money to educate little Barron and live very comfortably....

....though not in a penthouse with 24K gold fixtures.

As The Don said at their wedding, "Vagina is expensive."

[GopherGal]

71. While Ivanka is starting the name-change paperwork...

Ivanka Kushner Dresses now at Macy's...

[Hekate]

76. Likely too much codependence with Daddy there, sorry to say.

[ToxMarz]

40. Not to mention the conversation between Melania and their son

[TheBlackAdder]

45. Hey mom, What does "Move on her like a bitch" mean? My snapchat friends are picking on me.

[Mr.Bill]

70. She probably doesn't know about it.

Being locked up in the compound and not able to speak or understand English and all.

[pinboy3niner]

3. I can't wait to see Kellyanne, Katrina, McCaughey, et. al. try to defend him. nt

[nolabear]

8. Me too. I hope they're choking on their words right now.

[calimary]

53. You forgot Scottie Nell.

Yeah. I'd like to see how they plan to stumble around over this one.

And let's just make one thing clear:

"...yeah, but Hillary..." and/or "...yeah, but Bill Clinton..." will NOT give them cover. You DO NOT get to use that to try to drum up some false equivalence. I'm sure they'll do that pivot anyway. It's all they've got. But it probably won't help any more than a box of toothpicks will keep you afloat if you're drowning.

[Cakes488]

75. That's right Billy boy already took his lumps..and now it's Trashbag's turn

Look at that I offended someone on this website by saying Pu$$y Pence and now look ....LOL LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[Coyotl]

4. while Trump personally ordered another $500,000 in caps.

[nolabear]

9. It's going to be a social media bloodbath.

[adigal]

48. I just had some fun on Twitter

They are getting creamed, especially Mike Pence. You have to go check it Out!

[Hekate]

12. That's what he said all right. I can't help myself -- I'm SO attracted to him now --

Because he's famous and rich and a star. I swoon at the thought!

Actually I practically vomit at the thought.

[Coyotl]

16. Arianne Zucker said she would have to plead the fifth

when Bush pressed her about which man she would pick, Bush or Trump. Probably because she is too smart to admit to homicidal ideation.

[Duckhunter935]

34. Lol

[TheBlackAdder]

47. Perhaps his slogan was misheard somewhere, it was supposed to be, "Make America Gape Again"

[anamandujano]

52. He's winning on that front and that alone.

I expect most are blinking uncontrollably.

[Siwsan]

56. How about "Make American Grope Again". Fits him to a "T"

[uponit7771]

66. lofl

[.99center]

5. I hope they're talking to former and current staff at NBC to see if Trump has a habit of

Bragging about sexually assaulting their female colleagues, I doubt Billy Bush is the only one. Let's hope the network has made it clear to their staff that they will be protected if they come forward, NBC should've ended their contract with Trump after this, the least they can do is protect possible victims they placed in danger.

[Coyotl]

17. A lot of women are going to come forward now, given Trump just made their true stories believable.

The backlash hasn't even started. This will dominate the news until he resigns.

[spiderpig]

21. Think The Yam has Bill Cosby on speed dial?

[spiderpig]

6. Rachel, Tweety, Lawrence & Chris thought they'd have a breather

with MSNBC's wall-to-wall Matthew coverage.

Now this gem drops into their laps.

Back to work, gang!

[nolabear]

10. I'd like to have had a break from Tweety, but I'll take this. The A Team is going to pounce.

[JHB]

14. Well, in a tweet Chris Hayes sez...

Just having a segment meeting w producers *about the tape* feels like creating a hostile work environment.

[spiderpig]

19. Wonder what he means by that?

He's usually more direct.

[yardwork]

27. I think he means that just discussing the words feels like sexual harassment.

[JHB]

31. That was my take on it.

[Rose Siding]

32. Yep, it'd be weird.

[calimary]

77. Oh man, it'd be super weird!

I've never participated in this lurid a discussion of "okay, guys, how do/should/can we cover this? Let's talk about how we handle it." Sheesh - I can't even imagine.

[.99center]

64. Maybe it's about NBCU creating a "hostile work environment" by not cutting their contract with Trump

After this incident happened.

[nolabear]

18. Anna Navarro is ripping him a new one on CNN right now. She is unleashed!

[complain jane]

20. LOL

"Ted Cruz is filling a bathtub and finding a straight razor. And Kellyanne Conway is being held back by two burly Secret Service agents."

[calimary]

22. Either that, or Kellyanne is on the floor in another hotel room somewhere,

curled up in the fetal position.

[nolabear]

23. Couldn't happen to a nicer kid. Schadenfreude is sweet right now.

[calimary]

55. Is it wrong that I'm smiling?

[nolabear]

60. I'll meet you at the bar in Hades.

[calimary]

72. Bwaahaaaaaahaaaaaaaa!

[rumdude]

25. What about Paul Ryan?

He is slated appear on stage with Trump tomorrow in WI.

Will they go through with it?

[yardwork]

28. Hope so. Hang it around Ryan's Neck.

[AwakeAtLast]

54. This! ^^^^ n/t

[vanlassie]

58. Like a dead chicken tied to the dog!!

[yardwork]

63. Like the albatross.

[Ligyron]

69. He'll have to since its all about Wisconsin.

Rinsed Penis was the genius behind tomorrows love-fest of GOP big wigs.

They (he) will have to find some way to make Dump disappear - and quick.

Some much needed debate prep may be called for.

[Coyotl]

26. I just checked Twitter. Billy Bush trending #1, has deleted his account.

If you're voting for Trump, have the decency to write him in as "the pussy grabber"

Kaili Joy Gray ‏@KailiJoy 7 minutes ago
Trump thinks it's OK to "grab them by the pussy" when you're a reality TV star.
I don't want to imagine what he'd consider OK as president.

they should make the debate mics droppable for when Hill's like, "I just want to thank Mr. Trump for not grabbing me by the pussy tonight."

@GovPenceIN Hey, Mike...Do you approve of Trump grabbing your daughters by their pussy? Inquiring minds want to know.

[yardwork]

30. I hope somebody asks Pence that question.

[Coyotl]

36. @GovPenceIN, has Donald Trump ever grabbed your wife's pussy?

[LuvNewcastle]

41. Those are beauties.

The Internet is going to be a more interesting place for the next few weeks.

[Coyotl]

43. Still watching for a new hashtag to evolve. Any ideas? #MakeAmericaEmbarrassedAgain

@GrabEmByThePussy is an account already. First tweet:

#GrabEmByThePussy

[nolabear]

44. Oh HELL no.

This would be funny if so damn many of us hadn't suffered that treatment at the hands of assholes like him.

[Coyotl]

61. Trump has Binders Full of Groping Victims

Remember how just the comment "binders full of women" played for Romney?

[LuvNewcastle]

59. I'm thinking maybe ThePussyWhisperer might not be taken.

[Rose Siding]

29. I wonder who's on graveyard shift for keeping him off twitter

I HOPE they are BAD at it

[yardwork]

33. Lol

[vadermike]

35. Lol

Holy shit Ryan on the USS titanic GOP bye bye assholes!! Ryan McConnell will be coming out with disavowing statements 3 2 1 house GOP probably now in danger too

[bucolic_frolic]

37. Actually Cruz was right

He used the term "New York values" though I don't think he meant
a geographical smear, more like 'lack of family values' or 'casino
subculture'.

[HipChick]

38. OMG

October Surprise?

[MFM008]

39. Im so sad for the maggot and the gOP

[Hoyt]

42. Cannot wait to see Kelly Anne spin this one.

50. I'll bet Cruz is secretly very happy

He looked so forlorn phone banking for Trump. I suspect when Trump loses Ted will be quietly celebrating....

[exalted circles]

51. i got it wrong all these years, if all you had to do was grab them by the pu**y

it's hard to pick my jaw off the ground, nobody would give trump the time of day, if he did not have money

[watoos]

57. Don't Forget to watch Bill Maher tonight

he should have a blast with this. If I remember right, Marc Cuban is also on.

[nolabear]

62. Oh My God I forgot about Maher!!

I can't take it...

[calimary]

73. I bet he rewrote his entire "New Rules"!

I bet most of 'em who are on in the evening have been furiously rewriting at this moment.

I'll bet, on SNL, they've thrown out entire skits to make room for this. Maybe including a big chunk of the guest host's monologue.

[Whiskeytide]

65. The 3:00 am Twit storm ...

... will be priceless!

"I meant her cat, obviously. It was a joke"

"It was sarcasm. I could never actually grab one with these small hands".

"She grabbed my dick first"

"I clearly said 'Gladdum indapu, Si' which is some kind of Chinese Latin for 'I respect women'. "

"I could have shot it and the 2nd A people would still support me"

"MSM is biased against vagina grabbing. Must all be gay".

"It was a rigged vagina. We need better vagina vetting. Extreme vetting".

I was just making fun of Billy's last name"

[Nac Mac Feegle]

67. I must caution everyone, most strongly

Not to take excessive pleasure in this matter.

This is important.

You risk Schadenfreude poisoning. This is commonly characterized by laughter so intense that ones' buttocks fall off. (In my case the sudden release of toxic waste would cause additional problems) This is commonly followed by continuing laughter to the point where the poor victim is unable to breathe and expires. This is not a good way to go.

I must warn you that there is not an infinite supply of Schadenfreude antivenin.

As tempting as it is to indulge, you must be careful.

Given the propensity for He Who Must Not Be Named to come up with ever more outrageous and offensive actions, we risk building up such a tolerance to the antivenin that it is no longer effective, or the supply is exhausted before Election Day. Possibly both.

Medical facilities are already dreading election Day. We must husband our resources most carefully in order to minimize the fatalities. It will be gruesome enough, as it is. Not only are unprecedented cases of Schad Poisoning expected, but drownings are also highly likely from the vast quantities of Tears Of Impotent Rage expected.

Besides, we have to survive 'til Election Day to ensure that we Vote The Living Shit (technical term) out of these Deplorables.

Save the celebrating up until "Taco Tuesday", and make sure you live to tell your descendants of the glorious Day of Reckoning. You will have Been There.



True Patriots do not brag about and wave the flag, they do what needs to be done.

68. Symptoms: Sides splitting, table pounding, faces turning red, copious tears, gasping for breath...

We'll have to have a telethon!

74. "...but at length the truth will out."

Karma's such a bitch. Hurricane Farenthold is a category 10.
