As if things aren't already stupendously bad enough for Donald Trump

now his pants are on fire. Trump and his surrogates are referencing a doctored tape to allege that Hillary Clinton wants to raise taxes on the middle class. The tape is being used in a Trump ad attacking Hillary.

Luckily, some reporters who were present, a transcript of the prepared remarks, and an analysis by a linguistics professor who specializes in phonology (!) confirm what Clinton actually said: "We aren't going to raise taxes on the middle class."

Now maybe the press will abandon their tortured exegesis concerning Hillary's remarks about her emails (quibble much, Glenn Kessler?) and focus their spotlight on the lying Mr. Trump.

Jill Stein is running anti-Hillary TV ads in NY metro area

Jill Stein has no problem demonizing Hillary.

"Donald Trump says despicable things, but Hillary Clinton has a terrifying track record."

Here's Clinton's record according to Stein:

"Catastrophic wars, helping destroy the social safety net, creating mass incarceration, and supporting deportations."

“It’s time to reject the lesser evil and fight for the greater good."

There was an OP here that expressed concern over the demonizing of Jill Stein. As far as I'm concerned, she's fair game.

You can watch the ad here.
