Joe Biden made a cameo on SVU tonight.

He commended the characters on ending the backlog of untested sexual assault kits. Then this happened....

http://tvline.com/2016/09/28/law-order-svu-recap-season-18-episode-2-joe-biden-making-a-rapist/


Tl;dr/spoilers : The character freed by testing the kits sexually assaults and murders the daughter of his accuser.

Did no one read the script before agreeing to a cameo?

MSNBC Chyron: "Trump (Falsely) Claims Clnton Started Birther Controversy"

Looks like Team Trump has finally pissed off MSNBC. Two days ago, they would have acted like it's a debatable thing.

Colin Powell Calls Trump A “National Disgrace” In Personal Emails

https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/colin-powell-calls-trump-national-disgrace-in-personal-email?utm_term=.vyjZjgzrgp#.bubOePNEPd
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, a retired four-star general who served under three Republican presidents, slammed GOP nominee Donald Trump as a “a national disgrace” and an “international pariah,” according to his personal emails seen by BuzzFeed News.

The remarks came in a June 17, 2016, email to Emily Miller, a journalist who was once Powell’s aide. In that same email Powell also said Trump “is in the process of destroying himself, no need for Dems to attack him. [Speaker of the House] Paul Ryan is calibrating his position again.”


And in an Aug. 21 email from Powell to Miller, he blasted Trump for embarking on a “racist” movement that believes President Obama was not born in the US.


So how bad do you think the Trump response going to be?

Pneumonia is actually a fitting end for this whole medical episode hysteria.

For rational voters and people not on the Trump train, Hillary was suffering from a relatable illness and not some mysterious. undisclosed condition as the Trumpers would like to point out. Now the Press will bitch about not being notified, but most people will see this for what it was, someone sick overexerting themselves when they should have been recovering.

Politico: Trump’s mob-linked ex-associate gives $5,400 to campaign

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/donald-trump-russia-felix-sater-227434

A Russian-born, mafia-linked businessman whose ties to both Donald Trump and loyalists of Russian President Vladimir Putin have sparked scrutiny, visited Trump Tower last month for undisclosed business, he told POLITICO.

The businessman, Felix Sater, also donated the maximum allowable contribution to Trump’s presidential campaign, according to the campaign’s most recent FEC filing.

Sater, whose firm co-developed a major Trump project in New York and who was later hired by Trump to drum up business in the former USSR, has said that he closely associated with Trump and his family, while Trump has suggested he wouldn’t even recognize Sater.

Sater told POLITICO that he has not seen the candidate recently and that the purpose of his visit to Trump Tower last month is “confidential.” Sater declined to say whether he’s had recent contact with the Trump Organization or Trump’s children. “I don’t see the relevance of that,” he said.


But the real scandal is that Hillary met with a Nobel Laureate who donated to a charity, right?

The M$M needs to bring on some African American surrogates to combat the AA speakers paid by Trump.

As an AA democrat, I'm appalled that the M$M is dedicating so much time to these paid shills that have the nerve to bolster a party lead by a white supremacist, without bringing anyone on to fight back.

Hell, MSNBC has no excuse when Joy Ann Reid is probably in the studio.

Trump threatens to 'tell the real story' about Morning Joe 'clowns'

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/trump-blasts-morning-joe-227258#ixzz4I3qZ8WOT

He's "back!" (Let's be real, he was never gone.) Someone needs to make sure Andrea Mitchell is ok.

Donald Trump laced into the hosts of MSNBC's morning show anew on Monday, accusing one of co-hosts of being "neurotic" and a "mess" and both of them as being "two clowns."

"Tried watching low-rated @Morning_Joe this morning, unwatchable! @morningmika is off the wall, a neurotic and not very bright mess!" Trump tweeted Monday, referring specifically to Mika Brzezinski, in response to the first hour and 20 minutes of MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Minutes after his initial tweet, Trump offered another personal broadside.

"Some day, when things calm down, I'll tell the real story of @JoeNBC and his very insecure long-time girlfriend, @morningmika. Two clowns!" Trump tweeted, a day after campaign manager Kellyanne Conway insisted that he "doesn't hurl personal insults."

Anyone else notice the uptick of Trump supporters taking credit for the 14th and 15th amendment?

Apparently, African American Democrats like myself didn't know that before the white supremacist/alt-right retweeting Trump reminded white people of our total poverty and utter failures last week.

Saw this more than a view times today.

Joy Reid and the Panel vs. Gilmore

Did anyone else just catch that segment? It was explosive. Paraphrasing.

Gilmore: The Clinton Foundation is the bigger scandal.
Joy: It wasn't illegal and she was not running it.
Gilmore: Legality doesn't matter.
Walsh: Her husband ran the foundation.
Joy: You can't try to pin someone for something as if it was illegal and then scream legalities don't matter.

Gilmore: The economy is a wreck.
Joy: No, here's the facts on the growth.
Gilmore: That's not enough.
Joy: It's never enough for you.

Gilmore: Trump is going to create opportunities for African Americans.
Smith: Can you tell me some of the specific plans that Trump has for AAs.
Gilmore: No, he'll take care of everyone.


Jim Gilmore is a mess and Joy Ann Reid should be the new host of Meet the Press.
