Musto addressed the Standard Idiotic Misogyny Accusations on FB (lots of women joining in on the snark; misogynists all!)

anyway the top truth (from a woman) is that the outfit looks most like Lady Elaine's clown smock on Mister Rogers

MM:
We should silence any critiques or satire, right? Please! Not gonna happen and don't try to make it happen. Were fighting for a free country with free speech, and this is part of it. Besides, my fashion critique of Hillary is hardly going to make someone vote for Trump. And it pales next to the criticism I heap on Trump. So spare me!!!!!

There have been elements of corruption along the way (most recently the Clinton Foundation's apparent pay-for-play policy). I don't deny it any more than the fact that she called Nancy Reagan an AIDS activist. I am free to note all that while also noting that she is way better than Trump. Lying or pretending doesn't help anyone.

When did this become the measure of free speech? It actually boggles my mind (to the extent that anything can be 'boggled') that someone can be told something they said is misogynist and then launch into a rant about free speech. It's just 'well, people used to laugh' but with self righteousness and concept creep.

Its desperation. People trying to convince themselves that their righteous hatred of Clinton (or Obama) gives them the green light to spew misogynist (or racist) bullshit.

Right, there are no female misgynists, just like there are no closeted, self-hating gays. Your boundless grasp of sociology continues to impress!

"I am allowed to spew misogynist garbage because people on the internet mock Chris Christie's weight" is a debate strategy I wasn't expecting to filter into ILX from the Yahoo! News comment pages but here we are.

This Time story about Trump's labor practices in the building of Trump Tower is pretty great - really brings out all the shadiness and crooked dealing. This bit jumps out for other reasons:

Forty-five minutes later, Szabo testified, he received a call from a man who identified himself as a Mr. Barron from Trump’s legal department, who said Trump was going to sue Szabo for $100 million for wrongful filing of mechanic’s liens. At trial, Trump admitted that both he and a senior executive at the company had used the name Barron as a pseudonym. “I believe I occasionally used that name,” said Trump. But in this case, Macari said under oath that it had been he who called Szabo while posing as Barron; Szabo testified he didn’t recognize “Barron’s” voice.

the fact that he named his real son after the fake name he used to use is pretty remarkable

frogbs, Friday, 26 August 2016 14:27 (seven years ago) link

I can only assume the son he has with his next wife will be named People, after the otherwise vague and spurious source of so many of the things he hears about.

i also just think it's amazing that we have a presidential candidate whose past achievements include talking in a fake voice over a phone saying "this is barron!" while trying to rip somebody off, but i guess this would barely make it into the top 100 list of staggering unprecedented things about this asshole

That's a total misrepresentation!

He didn't use a fake voice at all.

no kidding. if you listen to the recording there's like, absolutely no doubt

i'm just enjoying imagining what kind of things 'Barron' would tell people about Mr. Trump. "Listen, you better drop this suit, you don't wanna mess with this guy, believe me. He's unstoppable. Just a human dynamo. I don't mean sexually although, I also mean, sexually he's amazing, incredible in the sack, countless women have told me this. Countless women. But he could easily kill you with one hand tied behind his back, just break you in half with his thumbs, he is that, his thumbs - he is powerful."

speaking of which, these comments on immigration:

"It's a process. You can't take 11 at one time and just say 'boom, you're gone,'" he told Cooper, floating the idea that as many as 30 million people could be living here illegally, a projection well beyond most analysts' figures. "I don't think it's a softening. I've had people say it's a hardening, actually."

frogbs, Friday, 26 August 2016 14:51 (seven years ago) link

that sounds exactly like him, like it doesn't even sound like he's putting on a voice

jason waterfalls (gbx), Friday, 26 August 2016 14:51 (seven years ago) link

xxpost There are totally recordings of 'Barron' basically bragging about Trump's sexual prowess!

An Automatic Response To Things That Are Bullshit (Old Lunch), Friday, 26 August 2016 14:52 (seven years ago) link

I've had people say it's a hardening, actually.

This article starts out amazing and gets amazing-er with each paragraph:

The name Steve Bannon may not mean much to most people in Southern Arizona, but to those involved in Biosphere 2, it brings back memories of a troubled time.

Bannon, as you may know, is the new head of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Bannon, previously an investment banker and movie maker, arrived there from Breitbart News, an online outlet founded by the late Andrew Breitbart that has become the Voice of Trump over the last year.

Long before, though, Bannon was deeply involved in Biosphere 2. And, as in his more recent activities, Bannon apparently acted the bully around the enclosed mini-world near Oracle.

We are all Patty Hearst and Trump is the Symbionese Liberation Army.

Neanderthal, Friday, 26 August 2016 14:58 (seven years ago) link

The first thing this reminded me of was when Dilbert's Dad went on different message boards and pretended to be his own biggest fan, writing in the exact same shitty, condescending tone that his he does in his blog, even going as far as to quote his own damn book. This was before I knew he had a raging Trumpboner, which now makes total sense to me.
