No, alt-right Trump supporters did not start using #RepealThe19th today. They've used it since day one.

0

Many outlets are reporting today that a map showing how the election would end if only women voted (Hillary would win) prompted Trump fans on Twitter to start the #RepealThe19th hashtag. The 19th Amendment, you'll recall, gave American women the right to vote. While it may be true that more Trump supporters than usual today used the hashtag to wish women would shut up, it started picking up steam way back when Trump did.

If you look at the hashtag now, it's almost completely outraged liberals. This is probably seen as a huge success by trolls, but who cares? Indeed, there's a lot to be angry about from today alone.

Instead of freaking out, let's get specific about who they are and what this means. This is the alt-right, which you've probably heard of by now. It's another word for "white supremacist." They are incredibly sexist, and they're even more racist. They've also been using this hashtag for a looooooong time. It's really exploded since Trump began imploding after the conventions.

That they view women as inferior is obvious, but many couch their sexism in racist terms. The problem with women voting, to them, is that you can't trust them to be racist enough. Women will vote to help the poor, accept refugees, and advocate tolerance. (Sometimes they will claim they're not really serious, but it's been 18 months and they haven't broken character once.)

This neatly matches with the other part of their conspiracies: that "savages" are taking advantage of the openness and tolerance they blame women for to infiltrate and subvert. In other words (their words), "diversity = white genocide." They're neo-Nazis, and we've been forced to listen to their garbage all election thanks to the Trump campaign's open embrace.

Clearly, the #RepealThe19th is not new, although it did pick up steam as Trump began to collapse, but it's been used pretty constantly every day in 2016.

It really starts to pick up speed in August of 2015. Once Trump starts winning debates, it becomes a near-daily phenomenon. (A few of these are people joking—in particular Jay Caruso, whom this writer had a heated exchange with, but is definitely not an alt-right neo-Nazi and was making an admittedly bad joke.))

Many of these are trolls. Some are bad jokes. Some are serious. Yet at every turn so far, Trump has caught up to his trolls, forcing them to go führer and führer out there:

But despair not. As Mr. Rogers said, "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'"


Waistful.

Joe Biden blasts Donald Trump for abuse of power on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers.'

0

Barack Obama's BFF Joe Biden was on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday to talk about the living nightmare that is this election. Of course, the conversation turned to Donald Trump's years of well-documented sexual misconduct, where Biden reprimanded the Republican nominee for engaging in the "textbook definition of sexual assault."

While Trump was running around being a sexual predictor for the past few decades, Biden had written the "The Violence Against Women Act" in 1994, spoke up publicly about rape on college campuses, and most recently made a cameo on a recent episode ofLaw & Order SVUabout sexual assault.

Additionally, he has never bragged about grabbing women by the pussy. What a guy!

'People' writer pens harrowing account of sexual assault at the hands of Donald Trump.

0

After enjoying a "very friendly, professional relationship" covering "all things Donald," that dynamic changed for People Magazinewriter Natasha Stoynoff in 2005.

That December, she traveled to Donald Trump's famous Mar-a-Lago resort to chat with him and his wife, Melania Trump, for the occasion of their first wedding anniversary.

When we took a break for the then-very-pregnant Melania to go upstairs and change wardrobe for more photos, Donald wanted to show me around the mansion. There was one “tremendous” room in particular, he said, that I just had to see.

We walked into that room alone, and Trump shut the door behind us. I turned around, and within seconds he was pushing me against the wall and forcing his tongue down my throat.

Now, I’m a tall, strapping girl who grew up wrestling two giant brothers. I even once sparred with Mike Tyson. It takes a lot to push me. But Trump is much bigger — a looming figure — and he was fast, taking me by surprise and throwing me off balance. I was stunned. And I was grateful when Trump’s longtime butler burst into the room a minute later, as I tried to unpin myself.

The butler informed us that Melania would be down momentarily, and it was time to resume the interview.

After the assault, and the interruption by the butler, Trump leaned towards Stoynoff​ to say, "You know we're going to have an affair, don't you?" When Melania Trump reentered the room, Trump "instantly reverted back to doting husband mode." Read Stoynoff​'s entire account here.

Stoynoff was not the only woman to take her story public on Wednesday. Earlier in the day, the New York Timespublished accounts from two women, each claiming she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump.

Both stories, from Stoynoff and the New York Times, lead with Trump's answer to a question from Anderson Cooper during the second presidential debate.

"Just for the record though," asked Cooper, "are you saying... that you did not actually kiss women without [their] consent?"

"No, I have not," responded Trump.

Bryan Cranston told Jimmy Fallon about the time he was a real murder suspect.

Bryan Cranston wouldn't seem much like a murderer if you only saw him as the benign dad on Malcolm in the Middle. If you watched him as chemistry teacher turned drug dealer on Breaking Bad, however, you could maybe see it. Don't worry, he's not really a murderer (probably). On Wednesday night's Tonight Show, while promoting his new memoir, A Life in Parts, he told Jimmy Fallon the story about the time he and his brother were suspects in the murder of their horrible former boss at a restaurant in Florida.

See, this is why you have to be careful about what you say about your boss in the company of others, even if everybody on staff hates that boss. You never know when a joke about slicing someone up like an onion becomes a reality. Although in the case of this guy, there were probably way fewer tears shed.

It turns out Trump is a creep even when he isn't being goaded by Billy Bush.

No fewer than four women have now come forward to accuse Donald Trump of groping them, despite his denial that he ever acted on his "locker room talk" during Sunday night's presidential debate.

The New York Times interviewed two of the women, Jessica Leeds, 74, and Rachel Crooks, 33.

More than 30 years ago, Leeds found herself seated next to Trump, whom she did not know, in the first-class cabin of an airplane. After about 45 minutes, she said Trump lifted the armrest between them and allegedly started grabbing her breasts and trying to put his hand up her skirt. She told the Times, "He was like an octopus. His hands were everywhere. . . It was an assault."

Rachel Crooks was 22 in 2005 (the same year as Trump's now infamous Access Hollywood appearance) and working as a receptionist at Bayrock Group, a real estate investment company based in New York City's Trump Tower. She described how one day she encountered Trump in the elevator, and because her company did business with him, she introduced herself. They shook hands, but she claims Trump wouldn't let go, and then he allegedly kissed her on the cheeks and smack dab on the mouth. "It was so inappropriate," she told the Times, "I was so upset that he thought I was so insignificant that he could do that."

Another newspaper, the Palm Beach Post, interviewed the third woman, Mindy McGillivray. McGillivray, now 36, claims that 13 years ago Trump groped her at his Mar-a-Lago estate when she was there with her friend, photographer Ken Davidoff, helping him on a photo shoot for a Ray Charles concert. McGillivray didn't report the incident to the authorities, but Davidoff told the Post he recalls her immediately telling him, "Donald just grabbed my ass!"

The fourth woman, journalist Natasha Stoynoff, wrote about her 2005 encounter with Trump in a People magazine story published Wednesday. As a reporter who covered Trump on The Apprentice, she was sent to Mar-a-Lago to interview him and his wife Melania for a story on their first wedding anniversary and claims Trump kissed her without her consent, writing, "I turned around, and within seconds, he was pushing me against the wall, and forcing his tongue down my throat." Stoynoff claimed the incident only stopped because they were suddenly interrupted by Trump's butler. She also wrote that later Trump allegedly said to her, "You know we’re going to have an affair, don’t you?"

Trump, for his part, denies the allegations (surprise!). The Timesquestioned him about Leeds and Crooks (which sounds like a buddy cop show), and he responded, "None of this ever took place." He then began yelling at the reporter, saying that the publication was "making up the allegations to hurt him" and threatened to sue them. And then he called her "a disgusting human being."

Suffice to say, things are not looking good right now for Mr. Trump.

Here's how to make a glitter mask for Halloween or whenever else you need a glitter mask.

Halloween is only a few weeks away, and if you are still struggling to figure out what you should be, why don't you just cover yourself with glitter and call it a glitter mask? Teen Vogue made a video breaking down how to get this sparkly look, so when people ask what your costume is, you can just say you're a person who smashed their face into a bunch of art supplies.

A totally sensible look for Halloween night or, you know, just whenever.

The upsides to the glitter mask is that you will totally stand out on Halloween. The downsides are that you will definitely get something in your eye and will be finding specs of glitter on your pillow case until next Halloween.


A 46-year-old Donald Trump made a disgustingly pervy comment about a 10-year-old girl.

0

When Donald Trump saw a 10-year-old girl on an escalator, he saw "someone he'd be dating in 10 years."

In the wake of the Access Hollywood video in which Donald Trump admitted to groping and kissing women without their consent, stories and archival clips have come forward showing the extent to which Trump just views women as sexual objects. For a man with such small hands he has an extremely big mouth, saying disgusting things about women ages one to 35, because for him, that's "check-out time." CBS dug up a video of Trump in 1992, when he was 46-years-old, talking about a 10-year-old girl in a way nobody should.

This sadly comes as no surprise, seeing as he talked about he talked about his daughter's future breasts when she was just one year old.

Time to shower forever. Or at least until November 8th.

Donald Trump might sue the 'New York Times.' Experts say that's a bad idea.

0

Reporters from CNN and the Washington Post say the Trump campaign is drafting a lawsuit against the New York Times for publishing two women's accounts of sexual assault at the hands of Donald Trump, according to the Huffington Post.

The same goes for the Palm Beach Post, which published yet another story from a woman, named Mindy McGillivray, who says Trump groped her 13-years-ago.

As of yet, the Trump campaign has not threatened to sue People Magazine for publishing their own writer's first person account of a her sexual assault by Donald Trump, although he has categorically denied it.

He has also completely denied allegations laid out against him in the other articles. One of the writers responsible for the New York Times piece shared Trump's response when she spoke to him Tuesday night.

Regarding the Times story, the Huffington Post obtained a quote from the paper'sspokesperson, who told them, "We stand by the story, which falls clearly into the realm of public service journalism."

Meanwhile, a Trump lawyer, Marc E. Kasowitz, sent an "open letter" to Times executive editor Dean Baquet:

Your article is reckless, defamatory and constitutes libel per se. We hereby demand that you immediately cease any further publication of this article, remove it from your website and issue a full and immediate retraction and apology. Failure to do so will leave my client with no option but to purse all available actions and remedies.

According to CNNMoney, a lawsuit could actually benefit the papers more than Trump, because "it will give both the Times and the Post the opportunity to pursue discovery and request information on Trump's entire sexual history, because Trump would have the burden of proving falsity and actual malice."

As the Washington Postelaborates further, a lawsuit against journalists or their institutions would be "risky."

"It would be very appropriate and relevant for the reporters to question Trump on the truth of the allegation under oath, and a court would likely order depositions," a media law expert named John L. Diamond told the Post. "There is no Fifth Amendment protection for civil cases."

This means, roughly, that the whole truth would come out in a court of law. Even if he could prove that the victim's statements were false, he'd have to prove"that a statement was made with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether or not it was false."

Trump has also threatened to sue the New York Times over the release of his partial tax return earlier in October.

EVERYONE BREATHE, Aaron Carter and Azealia Banks no longer support Trump.

Yuuuge news. Donald Trump has lost those highly coveted Aaron Carter and Azealia Banks endorsements. Damn, he's never going to win now!

Carter endorsed Trump back in February, prompting tens of people to say, "Who Aaron Carter again?"

In a now-deleted Twitter rant, Carter said that he is voting for Trump because "70% of him agrees" with what the Republican nominee has to say. Fast forward to April and the "Aaron's Party" singer was already eating his words.

But once you have the stench of 'Trump supporter' on you, it is hard to shake it off. Following pussy-gate, Carter reiterated to his followers that he would not be voting for Trump.

When Azealia Banks, the controversial rapper whose racist remarks got her kicked off Twitter, endorsed Trump, it seemed pretty on brand for her. But not even she can stomach the hateful rhetoric any longer.

True patriot Azealia Banks.

On her Facebook, she wrote.

I made a major mistake endorsing toupey-toupee. Womens rights are important and we must protect them. I tried.... I reached ....I even carried ......I take it all back.

In case it was unclear that "toupey-toupee" meant Donald Trump, she clarified with a longer note.

I feel so dumb for ever having added my two cents to this election mess. I tried being a vigilant citizen , seeing as being up on it seemed to be the responsible thing to do... but instead I alienated loads of my fans and followers. I deeply regret mixing music and politics as I am now finding it nearly impossible to keep up with the election and the media frenzy.

I'm finding myself confused and disinterested.

I really hope my fans and peers can forgive me for that as I make a promise to never mix music and politics ever again.

One seems to be the antithesis of the other huh?

She then uploaded this picture:

Now that these questionable celebrities have pulled their endorsements for the most questionable celebrity, Trump's celeb backing is pretty much down to Scott Baio, Tila Tequila and Jon Voight. Sad!

Alex Trebek savagely mocks contestant who just wanted to share her nerdy passion with him.

Alex Trebek has hosted Jeopardy! for 32 years, so when a contestant manages to hit him with an anecdote he hasn't heard before, it's a joy to behold. Especially because he DGAF anymore, and is totally willing to throw these poor, nervous nerds under the bus just to get a laugh. And when legislative librarian Susan Cole started talking to him about nerdcore hip hop, he couldn't resist knocking that softball out of the park. But did he take it too far this time?

No, he didn't. That was awesome. And she won anyway. Long like Trebek, and long live Jeopardy!, America's true national pastime.

Felicity Jones is such a badass in the new 'Rogue One' trailer.

EVERYONE STAY CALM. The newest trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was released on Thursday. It's a beautiful day in the galaxy.

Rogue One is the first in a series of Star Wars standalone films. That means it's not a direct continuation of the narrative involving Luke Skywalker and company, but is a different story from the same universe. The film takes place in between Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Episode IV: A New Hope on the Star Wars timeline.

The story is about the Rebel Alliance's attempt to steal the plans to the first Death Star (an event that was referenced in A New Hope). Plus, it's continuing the recent trend of badass female leads in Star Wars films. In other words, it's going to be awesome.

Rogue One comes to theaters on December 16. What do you mean we have to wait two more months?!

Little kid finds message in a bottle from coke heads.

13-year-old Robbie Chappell lived every child's dream by discovering a message in a bottle while walking his dog along the beach, but instead of an old pirate map, he found a note written the day before by two yakked up coke-heads

With his step-dad behind the camera, Chappell gleefully smashed the Heineken bottle found on Hayling Island in Hampshire to reveal a soggy note penned by the only people who still send messages like this: dudes on lots and lots of cocaine.

Dan and Dan was here 1/10/16 12.19pm”

Out our nuts on cocaine! Massive love for the sesh!

Lots of love sesh gremlins aka Hud & Suv.

For some reason "Hud and Suv" have been blurred out of the photo to protect these addicts fake aliases.

"So no pirates then, just druggies," says the step dad. The kid doesn't seem to be surprised that coke heads would do this at all.

Disappointing though it may be to not have found a map to buried treasure, the Dans did somehow manage to translate the experience of actually doing cocaine. They got this kid really hopped up and excited for absolutely nothing.


Former Miss Teen USA was told Donald Trump 'doesn't like black people.'

0

Kamie Crawford, a TV host and former Miss Teen USA winner from Maryland, claims that she was warned in 2010 before meeting Donald Trump that "Mr. Trump doesn't like black people." On Wednesday, Crawford posted a series of tweets about her experience meeting Trump.

Crawford was allegedly told by someone working for the pageant that Mr. Trump wasn't fond of black people, so she shouldn't take it personally if he wasn't nice to her.

She claims she saw Trump snub another black contestant during the pageant rehearsals, but when he met Crawford, his demeanor changed, because she was apparently"the 'type' of black he liked."

She'd already won the crown, and as just a teenager, she was pretty happy her boss liked her, because it would make her year of serving as Miss Teen USA that much easier.

In hindsight, however, Crawford feels very differently. She advised everyone to get out and vote on November 8 (or November 28, if you're voting for Trump) unless they wanted to find out what kind of black he doesn't like. Yikes.

Mom shares photo of C-section scar for everyone who told her she 'didn't give birth.'

WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGE BELOW.

A new mother named Jodie Shaw has gone viral by sharing a very personal photo of her cesarean section scar on the Facebook page Birth Without Fear. She felt compelled to come forward after being hurt by too many self-righteous social media posts from know-it-all supermoms, saying that moms who have C-sections never truly give birth at all. (The only person who could ever get away with that argument was Shakespeare.) As she points out, you never know someone else's reasons.

Posted by Birth Without Fear on Sunday, October 9, 2016

Shaw's post reads:

Please read before commenting. "A new day and a what seems to be another new post from someone insinuating that giving birth by cesarean means that you didn't give birth.

Can we please just stop!

I obviously can't change people's views but I've decided to post this picture to see if it may make people understand that despite what our birth plans might say. Sometimes we don't get a choice. I didn't get a choice.
I had a fibroid the size of a melon sat on my cervix and a low lying placenta which meant that I've been left with no ordinary csection scar. But whether you believe this or not. I gave birth to my baby. .

So next time you judge someone for not doing what you consider to be "giving birth" please take a minute to think about why they may have had to deliver that way. Think about the fact that given the choice they probably wouldn't of chosen this but had no choice. Why would you choose a major operation and 6 weeks of recovery?

This scar saved me from losing a life threatening amount of blood and meant my baby was brought into this world as she should be. Healthy and unharmed, as was I." -Jodie Shaw

Hear hear. Before you shame a mother for undergoing major surgery, maybe you should make sure it didn't save her life. And even if it didn't, it's none of your damn business.

Here's the terrible advice Donald Trump gave Bill Cosby about handling his sexual assault allegations.

0
0

Donald Trump offered some advice to Bill Cosby on how to handle his sexual assault accusations because when you think of people who are great at staying out of trouble, you think of Trump.

“I think it’s very sad, and frankly I don’t think he’s handling it very well,” Trump told E! from the red carpet in 2014, a time when people were finally taking seriously the 46 women who eventually came forward to accuse accuse Cosby of sexual assault.

But instead of condemning Cosby for his actions or showing sympathy for the victims, Trump, a man who has his own littered history of sexual assault allegations, judges Cosby for not living up to his PR potential.

And he should say something because he is being accused of terrible things, and to have absolutely no comment ― I think he’s getting very bad advice from a PR standpoint. And he should do it differently. He’s not doing a very good job of handling it.

Of course Trump would tell Cosby to speak up, what else would you expect from a man who sent frantic 3am tweets to defend calling a Miss Universe fat? Forget treating women correctly, it's all about the image to him.

Blac Chyna's new baby bump is looking great in Instagram post that's clearly just an ad.

0

Rob Kardashian's fiancée​ Blac Chyna posted an Instagram of herself Wednesday night, wearing beige pants and a matching shirt tucked into her bra to show off her burgeoning bump. She's currently 36 weeks old with the couple's first child (she has a son with her ex, Tyga), and while she hasn't reached her goal of gaining 100 pounds during her pregnancy, she hasn't done too badly.

The caption to the picture is basically an advertisement for a tea drink, one that she says is safe during pregnancy. She also apparently plans to do a detox offered by the same company after she gives birth. Just as long as she doesn't feed the baby any tea, everything seems to be in order. One month to go!

While the tea might be safe, the way Chyna posted it isn't entirely copacetic. According to guidelines set by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), celebrities hawking products on Instagram are required to say that they're being paid for their promotion. It can be as simple as adding a hashtag like #ad or #sponsored, or a sentence reading, "X Company sent me this product to try." There are exceptions, such as when a celebrity's promotional relationship with the company is "well-known." Of course, that's a tricky one, because who can say who knows what, right? But in this case, it seems pretty clear that Chyna should probably mention that she's not just obsessed with this tea for its taste—the money they're giving her probably adds quite a bit of flavor.
