Trump for president

[HairOfTheDog]

My Mailbox is filling up with political flyers again. I can't wait for this election to be over with.

My mailbox is clear, but I'm anxious for this shit show to end too.

This election is now more like the sexual assault trial of Donald Trump, with women coming forward left and right and Trump spending most of his speech time acting as his own defense attorney. He keeps issuing in-depth denials and implying that he's obviously innocent because the women aren't good-looking enough for him. Bragging about having the power to commit sexual assault and get away with it is so very stupid and weird. Whether all, some, or none of these women are legit, Trump's big mouth and big ego opened the door.

Melania Trump is not making any appearances or defending her husband against the allegations. She only issued a statement, shortly after the tape was leaked, saying that the words on the tape don't reflect the man she knows and she believes he has the heart and mind to be President (my paraphrase).

Trump did take a few minutes today to tell his rally audience that he'll give voters lower taxes whereas Hillary Clinton will raise taxes (which is only true for the wealthy), that he wants to close the borders whereas Hillary Clinton wan'ts open borders and free trade (that's something she references as a dream during a hacked/leaked Wall Street speech), and he talked about how Hillary Clinton claimed the equivalent of she 'couldn't recall' 21 times during her testimony in regards to her private email server (which is 100% accurate).

For her part, Clinton went on the Ellen show yesterday and talked about how Trump 'stalked her' on the debate stage last Sunday. I didn't see it that way at all and think that's bullshit. She also outlined a new child care tax credit increase and spoke about climate change earlier in the week, which I was glad to see. Currently, she's doing fund-raising while her surrogates campaign on her behalf. She's got a strong lead over Trump now and I believe it's probably smart of her to lay low and let Trump keep digging, which allows her to avoid answering questions about the content of the illegally obtained/leaked DNC and Clinton campaign emails.

Meanwhile, U.S. Intelligence officers are pointing the finger straight at Russian hackers for the stolen emails fed to Julian Assange of Wikileaks. And, former US Intelligence officials are going further and directly accusing the Russian government of attempting to influence the U.S. Presidential election in favor of Trump (true or not, it's no longer hard for me to believe).

These are some effin' surreal and dumbed-down days, in my opinion.
