As I wrote today’s post on Trump’s “unshackled” speech yesterday attacking an evil conspiracy headed up by a shadowy cabal international bankers, I kept thinking of this classic bit from The Larry Sanders show, featuring a baby Jon Stewart (as the new host off to a bad start), Jason Alexander (as the disappearing guest), and Jeffrey Tambor (as “Adolf Hankler”). Enjoy!

During a speech yesterday, the newly “unshackled” Donald Trump denounced the women who have accused him of sexual harassment and assault as “horrible people” and “horrible, horrible liars.”
But he also devoted a good deal of time to another group that he claims he’s fighting against, a conspiratorial cabal he variously labeled “the establishment,” “those who control the levers of power in Washington,” “the global special interests,” and “people that don’t have your good in mind.”

Yesterday, after poll guru Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight posted a chart showing that Donald Trump could easily win the election if only men were allowed to vote, some Trump fans began wondering, with varying degrees of seriousness, if maybe it would be a good idea to repeal the pesky 19th Amendment that gave women in the US the vote in the first place.

With more and more women stepping forward with stories of being sexually harassed and/or assaulted by Donald Trump, Buzzfeed has set up an email address (and a Google Doc form) to make it easy for anyone with a “Trump story” of their own to contact Buzzfeed’s reporters.

After that Access Hollywood tape of Trump bragging that his fame allowed him to get away with sexually assault women on a whim, his supporters and surrogates seized on what they saw as the ultimate rebuttal to Trump’s critics. Borrowing the argument from a meme that had already been circulating on the Internet for some time, they declared that they were “much more bothered by what Hillary has done than by what Trump has said.”

As Donald Trump descends ever further into the maelstrom of his own id, the rhetoric of his most devoted fans grows ever wilder.
On the blog of the rabidly racist pickup artist James “Heartiste” Weidmann — you may recall his recent attacks on Paul Ryan — one of the regular commenters has a rather creative new theory about Hillary: She’s deliberately trying to start a war with Russia because she wants to kill off as many young American men as possible.

If you haven’t seen this already, give it a watch. H. Bomberguy forces himself to sit through that inadvertently hilarious Alt-Right version of the Reservoir Dogs title sequence and takes apart a Davis Aurini blog post. It’s goooood.

In the real world, the general consensus is that Hillary Clinton won last night’s debate against a rambling, perpetually dishonest Donald Trump. In a snap poll by CNN last night, 57 percent of debate watchers gave the win to Clinton.
The not-so-good folks over at The Daily Stormer disagree. “Glorious Leader Hits a Home Run” reads a headline on the site today.

In news that will shock precisely zero people, fantasy author/piece of human garbage Theodore Beale thinks that Trump’s newly exposed boasts about kissing and groping unsuspecting women are just fine.

Embattled presidential candidate/sexual predator Donald Trump told the Wall Street Journal this morning that there is “zero chance” that he’ll be dropping out of the race, because “the support I’m getting is unbelievable.”
Some of the most unbelievable support is coming from a longtime fan of his known on the Internet as Heartiste — an extravagantly hateful pickup artist very familiar to readers of this blog.
