This is unprecedented. Do ANY of you remember EVER

[BigDemVoter]

recall seeing a headline in a major US newspaper write that a presidential candidate is lying?

The NYT not only did so today, but they fact checked all throughout the article and pointed out lie after lie. I am stunned in a very pleasant way. Sorry for the lack of a link, as I read a hard copy of the paper.

In any case, I want to get back to my paper, as I am enjoying it so much!

[niyad]

1. there are a number of articles on drumpfy's lies in the nyt today. talk abou cya

nyt has been just as complicit as the rest of the media in its uncritical and slavishly adoring coverage of the yammering yam.

[ananda]

23. Humpty Trumpty sat on a wall ..

...

[thesquanderer]

24. Hardly matters, since pretty much no one who reads the NYT is likely to be a Trump voter anyway. (n/t)

[anamandujano]

43. Trump supporters are lost people. Nothing can reach them. It's the others that might read it.

[madamesilverspurs]

2. Also don't remember

any presidential candidate effectively soliciting the murder of his opponent.

That he's gotten away with it TWICE is gut-churning.

4. Is it really legal

to call for the assassination of anyone, especially a presidential candidate? What is the Secret Service doing about this, which will cause more work on their part.
It is extremely scary that he is allowed to get away with this once, let alone twice. Media seems to be saying it is OK. No one calling for an investigation into trump about these threats.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Rumor says Sec Serv talked 'informally' to Trump's camp after the August incident.

His campaign says the Secret Service did not "formally" speak to them.

It seems to me they used a careful choice of words.

I think it is about time they had a "formal" discussion with the candidate.

[neeksgeek]

19. That "formal" discussion should begin with the Miranda Warning. n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. I'd say "Good one", but I think there is a serious edge to the idea. Good. . . . nt

[Soxfan58]

18. Who's job

Will it be to stop the bullet. This must piss the secret service off. But these guys will bust their butts to protect the protectee. Even the big orange turd.

Donald Trump’s Anything-Goes Campaign Sets an Alarming Political Precedent

“It’s frightening,” said Vin Weber, a former Republican congressman from Minnesota. “Our politics, because of him, is descending to the level of a third-world country. There’s just nothing beneath him. And I don’t know why we would think he would change if he became president. That’s what’s really scary.”

Stephen Hess, who served in the Eisenhower and Nixon administrations, could not even contemplate the prospect of Mr. Trump as commander in chief.

“It’s incredibly depressing,” Mr. Hess said of Mr. Trump. “He’s the most profoundly ignorant man I’ve ever seen at this level in terms of understanding the American presidency, and, even more troubling, he makes no effort to learn anything.”

33. thanks loves. eom

[Jade Fox]

5. Thank God this is happening......

Also, last night on his show Lawrence O'Donnell did a masterful job calling down Trump's lifetime of lies.

[Ilsa]

11. I watched part of that as he was talking about the

"hundreds of friends" lost on 9-11-01. Drump has never named one single person he's known that died from that attack. It's DEPLORABLE that he would use such a tragedy the way he has.

[Jade Fox]

14. O'Donnell calling that 9/11 lie the worst of Trump's lies......

is absolutely correct, IMO.

I also loved O"Donnell's comments on the 1 inch lie about his height. Trump is both appalling and petty.

[bettyellen]

15. He just stood in front of a bunch of moms of crime victims....

So sad threat he is using them to fuel the bigotry and racism.

[Ilsa]

35. I haven't watched any of it today.

He's a pathetic excuse for a human and it doesn't surprise me that a sociopath like Drump is using and manipulating moms of crime victims.

[Pluvious]

41. But he did brag about...

... how his tower was now the tallest in Lower Manhattan again - just two hours after the 2nd tower fell.

He is but human dirt.
(Apologies to dirt)

[oldtime dfl_er]

8. ALL the major news outlets

NEED to factcheck the debates IN REAL TIME. On twitter, on blogs, in as many outlets as possible. I hope they all have ARMIES of researchers at the ready. In this day and age, factchecking the next day is a day too late.

[spiderpig]

9. If we can do it sitting at home, why can't they?

[nikatnyte]

13. LAT is on it today as well

Top headline: "Trump trades one falsehood for two more"
Sidebar: "Tripped up again by his own words"

[world wide wally]

16. Okay. Some of Trump's supporters are nothing short of "deplorable"

But some are probably decent people, like some of your parents and relatives.
Just explain to me how a "decent" person can vote for a known liar, thief, scam artist blowhard buffoon like that?

[vanlassie]

17. My 89 year old father says he's still voting for

him because he doesn't want Hillary picking Supremes.

[world wide wally]

21. So, he wants a corrupt Russian friendly liar with conflicts of interest to do it?

[vanlassie]

25. Well he only watches FOX so he doesn't know about that shit.

[katmondoo]

27. It wouldn't matter who was on the Supreme Court if Trump wins

The whole Country would rapidly deteriorate to a Police State and The Supreme Court would become meaningless

[Motley13]

28. Tell your dad, he'll probably name Dennis Rodman

[Ilsa]

36. and Gary Busey, etc. nt

[vanlassie]

40. Ha Ha. True! But dad won't listen. I need to maintain my sanity, people!

[Pluvious]

42. Yesterday my BIL told me, ...

...in all sincerity, that tRump is currently polling better with "blacks" than Mitt Romney ever did.

I realized suddenly that I needed to change the topic.

:-/

[awoke_in_2003]

22. Unfortunately...

print media matters very little anymore. Too many people are getting their news from the idiot box, and they are all on board for tRump.

[vermont farmguy]

30. your unfortunately

is on social media. So which is it... idiot box or here? I get the feeling that the idiot box, given that Jeb Bush and HRC have spent millions on it to no avail, are wondering if there is another way to get the message out. Do you think there is? Perhaps you should enlighten rather than give up.

[Arazi]

38. Double unfortunately Trump voters aren't reading the NYT

[awoke_in_2003]

39. They can't read

polysyllabic words.

[vadermike]

26. So

Trump is gonna win now regardless what he says ? Maybe for his hardcore base But I don't think he is gaining any other support hopefully losing it

[PJMcK]

29. Here's a great link from this morning

Thanks to Rose Siding for taking the trouble to scan images of all these newspapers:

31. Wow--thanks!

[BSdetect]

32. TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE?

Why has it taken till now?

I guess we know.

Ratings for crap cable "news".

[LuckyLib]

34. It's about damned time! Long overdue!

[rock]

37. The Presidency is a pretty respected office

But if we put enough turds in, it will lose its luster. Like I always say, "You can't clean a turd by licking it, but the Republicans love to try." They apparently enjoy that chocolatey looking ring around the mouth.
