The Second Presidential Debate

Hello friends.

I watched the debate, and it put a bad taste in my mouth.  Donald Trump has learned behavior as an abuser.  He repeats the same accusations against Hillary Clinton over, and over, and over.  He repeats his same stump speech rather than answer questions.

The act of repeating the same arguments and accusations, even when previously refuted, is a form of censorship.  It is done to silence the other person.  Who wants to get into another peeing match with a skunk?  The abuser thinks he has won when all he did was defile the atmosphere.

Here’s the debate in case you missed it.

  1. And his little game of having the four women beside him…, what a jerk… “Oh it was only words” He said. I wish he would go back under a rock…. Yuck

    • Hey Juan! The problem with the words is that they are disrespectful of women, no matter where and when they were spoken.

      • It’s not just words, that’s his deflection, he admits to those acts. There is also the FL who the Donald wanted to partner with so his name would make more money with events they put on and all he wanted was to have sex with his girlfriend.

        It’s not just words…….I’ve been in a real locker room for 13 seasons of football, no, he’s deluded to think most people buy into that.

            I can name at least 20 team mates who would have landed on anyone talking like that because we prided ourselves on having some class and dignity. Respect for all others is important and talking like that then saying I respect women blah, blah, boring blah is not believable at all.

            Thank you Sage for confirming and putting your name on it. Dude……you’re the best.

          “Narcissist.” I’ve looked up that word recently because a person who used to write for this blog is still passing around rumors and trying to severe relationships. It’s been almost a year and he is still hurt with not being able to control. From all of the professional pieces I’ve read, they all narrow it down to control. One said that narcissists don’t like themselves which is why they sabotage their own lives.

          That sounds like Trump.

  3. FACT CHECK: Clinton And Trump Debate #2

    • Hey Jim! Thanks for the link to the fact check. I was just reading snopes about the case where Trump alleges Hillary got a rapist off. Snopes has the court order on the site — the guy plead guilty.

      As far as Trump being a bully and jackass — YES! He’s and arrogant and disrespectful bully. Did you see where he stood as close as he could to Hillary’s back at one point? He was trying to physically intimate her. Now, imagine him doing that to the leader of another country.

      • Dear Xena,

        I recently blogged on this case, “.Will The Real Hillary Clinton, Please Stand Up, Part VIII (1975 Rape Case).”

        Hillary Clinton did not volunteer to take this case. She was part of the U of Arkansas Legal Aid Clinic that she started around 1975. She was directed by a judge to take this case. She called the judge to try to be removed but she was not able to withdraw. She did her job as required. Her client did serve jail time. He was charged with a lesser offense.

        What got me last night were the visuals. He was looming behind her fuming on multiple occasions. It was unseemly!

        Anderson Cooper is the one who acted on the question as to whether DT actually did the things he bragged about on the 2005 tapes. DT was hedging but Mr. Cooper kept asking until DT was forced to answer that he never did act out in a way as described on the tapes. Now as folks come forward, HRC will be in the driver’s seat. One has already come out as an adult married woman and then there is a rape case ongoing in NY civil case.

        Last night was a nightmare for the country. HRC won the debate last night by just looking presidential.

        • Gronda,
          I had not heard of that case until last night during the debates. Snopes has written about it, including the court’s order showing that the defendant pleaded guilty. For Trump to lie about that is outrageous.

          I haven’t checked out any polls today but don’t think that Trump gained the trust of any people other than his die-hard bigots.

            So for the record……..Hillary & William Clinton……lawyers. Kaine……a lawyer, most of her staff…….lawyers.

            the Donald…..a business dude, Pence a business dude turned politician, their staff….?

            Having done work with and for lawyers, even at the small level of doing reports for CFA auto cases, I clearly see the pattern. Hillary and Tim are conducting depositions here. She won the 2 debates hands down, but it’s about crushing sound bytes. Kaine took one for the team if you think he didn’t win, but so what. Look at the stuff he got Pence to say.

            the Donald and Pence have both thrown each other under the bus.

            It tickles my fancy when Pence cannot defend the Donald……hell, he didn’t even respond.

  11. In looking at some polls today……none where the Donald started with “I took a poll today and I’m winning” which is his normal line. I found some interesting swings.

    I’ll post them by last week and today………..

    Clinton the Donald Clinton the Donald

    NJ 42% 51% 100% 0%
    PA 32% 60% 93% 9%
    FL 18% 70% 84% 16%
    HI 56% 30% 100% 0%
    CO 18% 71% 93% 7%

    Several states have the independents with a few % points, and the accuracy is +/- 1%.

    PA, FL & NJ have been GOP states for the most part, but look at the numbers today. I cannot fathom them getting better for him. I see him alienating more people as the next 3 weeks unfold. I doubt he can dig up any Hillary secrets and will just spin what bs he’s been slinging already.

    Today the Donald claims the shackles are off and he can do whatever he wants to win, which means more BS, lies, rhetoric, demeaning, filth and I guess he’ll be forced to join another sports team so that when Geraldo Rivera makes public what he has on the Donald, it goes down to “..a different locker room”

    By “shackles” he means, well, take your pick……..

    1) Class
    2) Dignity
    3) Decorum
    4) Fair Play
    5) Humility
    6) Intelligence
    7) Respect
    8) Honesty
    9) Transparency
    10) Restraint
    11) Any combination or all of the above

    So when your party literally abandons you and pulls all the party financing, that means what, get more ridiculous, stay up all night Tweeting crap, make up more lies ??

    I’ll go “tip of the iceberg theory here and say, if this is what we know, what don’t we know ??

He has shown that he will go after Bill Clinton and he has several times blamed Hillary for his birther movement. That is the devilish way for narcissists try to rile up hard feelings between friends.

    Now that is exactly what Hitler said……and did……so did Stalin…..and Mao Zedong, among others.

          I remember that Hillary’s response at the debate was that Trump didn’t understand our laws. If I remember the rules for the special appointment of prosecutors, that takes place before there is any investigation. The first requirement is to know what they are looking for based on alleged violations. Hillary knows that Trump is blowing smoke because she violated no law. She keeps telling him that there were no damages from her using a personal server.

  16. Amen !! the Donald is now saying the system is rigged and he’s done with it and may not even attend the 3rd debate. (good……go away and stay away) however one of his PR guys said to the effect, and I’ll even quote the Donald “…it’s just words..”

    So I think…..and this is a guess, the next thing he’ll say is “….it’s my ball and I’m taking it with me ‘cuz you guys don’t let me win”

    Lets talk about this rigged stuff……I can’t imagine him not being in a rigged game since he’s stated God knows how many times, he rigs the system in his business deals.

    Dear God help me, it’s in his book “Don the Con” I mean “Stump the Trump”…..wait was it “Living with tiny hands”…….smokes……maybe it was “I’m Huge, Get Over It” or maybe it was “How to Alienate Friends and Whine to Enemies” Holy Jeeez, I forget…..was it “How I live with extreme sniffles” ?? or ” Trumpageddon” ???

    Now I’m totally confused…..was it “How I stay so Humble” ? or his book, “Making America Grope Again” or “Hitler was misunderstood” with the Forward by David Duke, not to be confused with his 1st book “Hitler, my kind of guy” with a Forward by Andrew Breitbart.

    Wait, I think I remember, it was “The Great White Grope” “I’m a wanker and a spanker” “Crazy Bernie and other assorted short stories” “The Donald Tax Code” “The Constitution of The United States of America in 3 easy lessons” ?

    Naaaaaa, it’s “Trump, the art of the deal” in which he clearly outlines rigging things in your favor. well……..his favor since he’s the only one smart enough to……well…..we all know what.

    “He [Trump] once called [Paula] Jones a “loser” and said of the [Monica] Lewinsky scandal that “people would have been more forgiving” if Clinton had slept with “a really beautiful woman of sophistication.”

    So he’s calling her what ?? by default.

    Trump told Howard Stern that it was okay to call his daughter Ivanka a “piece of ass.” They both discussed the size of her breasts and her “voluptuous” body.

    I see a problematic pattern here……any help ???

    “In a 2002 appearance, Trump called 30 “a perfect age” for a woman. “Until she’s 35,”

    Okay, is this profiling, or simply sexist ?? Derogatory……..you betcha !!

    “….and now it’s the tallest.” –Donald Trump, bragging about his building following the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center in an interview with WWOR/UPN 9 News in New York (Sept. 11, 2001)”

    This is surreal. His building is tallest because of terror attacks ?? WTF ?

    “When Iran, when they circle our beautiful destroyers with their little boats, and they make gestures at our people that they shouldn’t be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the
    water” 9/9/2016

    I’ll give anyone I want the finger and you can’t even sue me, let alone start shooting.

    “Dwyane Wade’s cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!”

    Geeez……I see 0 correlation here, but after all, the world does revolve around me.

    “What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump? What do you have to lose? You’re living in poverty; your schools are no good; you have no jobs; 58 percent of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?” –Donald Trump, making a pitch to win over African American voters, adding, “At the end of four years, I guarantee you that I will get 95 percent of the African-American vote.” (8/19/16)

    Brilliant, just mind boggling……..

    {Russia} is not going into Ukraine, OK, just so you understand. He’s not gonna go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down.” –Donald Trump,completely unaware that Russia had already annexed the Crimea in a 2014 attack that left thousands dead (7/31/16)

    Nothing like staying current on world events is there.

    “I might lie to you like Hillary does all the time, but I’ll never lie to Giacomo, okay?”

    Were you lying then………..or all the time ??? Nothing like an admission !!

    “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.” –Donald Trump, on receiving a Purple Heart as a gift from a retired lieutenant colonel and supporter (8/2/16)

    What ……. did he just insult every American military Vet ??

    “If she gets to pick her judges – nothing you can do, folks. Although, the Second Amendment people. Maybe there is. I don’t know.”

    This is a suggestion to assassinate Hillary and anyone she appoints. This is scary

    “Why can’t we use nuclear weapons?”

    This was said 3 times in the same place and is self explanatory

    “They don’t write good. They have people over there, like Maggie Haberman and others, they don’t — they don’t write good. They don’t know how to write good.” –Donald Trump, attacking the New York Times in a grammatically flawed tirade, Fox News interview with Sean Hannity (8/1/16)

  18. At 11:41 AM today I got a call from the NRA local chapter asking for a $100.00 minimum contribution to the Trump campaign. The phone no. by my caller ID is 856 – 283 – 0422. It comes up as IMC. This guy began his sales pitch with “As you know, Clinton is going to abolish the 2nd Amendment…..” and I didn’t let him finish that sentence. I blasted him about NJ having probably the most comprehensive gun laws, which I’m in favor of, and I’m in favor of gun control Nationally that keeps guns out of the hands of people who can be deemed irresponsible.

    Then after stating that, he states “everyone” is donating at least $100.00 to the Donald’s campaign because Clinton is winning the election !!!!

    Okay 1st…define everyone…..by name.
    2nd The election is 26 days away. How is she winning……well…..she’s leading by double digits and I can’t see that changing, especially since the Donald is now “unshackled”

    So, I addressed that blunder and the customer in my shop at the time said to the effect, thank God someone feels like I do……and ain’t afraid to speak out.

    Damn…….I remember getting this almost exact call back in 2012 or 2013……asking for Fogen defense money. Just how deep is their gutter ??
