Michelle’s Message

When Donald goes low:

Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina just firebombed our office in Orange County because we are winning @NCGOP

Hillary goes high:

The attack on the Orange County HQ @NCGOP office is horrific and unacceptable. Very grateful that everyone is safe.

NCGOP responds:

Thank you for your thoughts & prayers, Sec. @HillaryClinton.

Just this incident alone proves that Trump is dangerous and unfit to be president. If you’re not voting for Hillary, shame on you.

The Arizona Republic Responds to Threats

Mi-Ai Parrish:

To all of you who asked why we endorsed — or what right we had to do so — I give you my mother. She grew up under an occupying dictatorship, with no right to an education, no free press, no freedom of religion, no freedom to assemble peaceably, no right to vote. No right to free speech. She raised a journalist who understood not to take these rights for granted.

Thank you for choosing patriotism over party.

SNL Gets Under Trump’s Thin Skin

In its comic way, SNL declares that Hillary is now president and Trump had handed her the election. Watch the brilliant skit that had Trump exploded on Twitter.

The New Acronym for GOP

When I listened to Bill Maher podcast on Saturday morning, I spat out my coffee. He came up with the new acronym for the GOP: “Grab Our Pussies.” Maher quipped, “There’s a lot of things people don’t like about Hillary Clinton, but when she rubs you the wrong way, it’s just an expression.” Watch Maher’s hilarious monologue.

Fighting Sexism

Margaret Talbot:

Plenty of the attacks levelled against Clinton over the years have been policy-oriented and substantive, stemming from her mishandling of health-care reform during her husband’s first Administration, or from her initial support for the war in Iraq, or from her use of a private e-mail server while she was Secretary of State—criticisms that could have been lobbed in the same terms at a male politician of similar ambition. But much of what Clinton has had to battle, for decades, is sexism. She has not, as Trump noted, given up, but the fight has been a wearying spectacle, and one that may explain, at least in part, why people complain of Hillary Clinton fatigue.

Hillary has fought her past embarrassment as Talbot wrote:

Clinton’s reputation has also been prone to another unfortunate pattern: she was often more popular when she was seen to be suffering a traditionally feminine humiliation. As First Lady, her approval ratings rose after the Monica Lewinsky revelations and during Kenneth Starr’s investigation of them. In 2008, many people rallied to her after she was excoriated for seeming to tear up at a campaign event. Trump was clearly seeking to humiliate Clinton by inviting women who had accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment or assault to be his guests at the second debate. But this time it felt like she was long past embarrassment of the sort he was trying to induce—the stakes were too high, and Trump’s insults to women too categorical

The Des Moines Register Endorses Hillary

Editorial board:

For those who believe America should be a beacon of a hope in a world ravaged by terrorism, that it should be a force for good and that its leaders should embody all that is best about this nation, there is only one choice for president: Hillary Clinton.

#TrumpDrSeuss

He calls them Miss Piggy.
He grabs them by their pussy.
Then he says they are ugly.
The Donald has lost his basic decency.

The Miami Herald Endorses Hillary

Editorials:

Ms. Clinton is often accused of being secretive, which is true up to a point. Yet most of her adult life has been lived in the glare of the public spotlight. She has the scars and headlines to prove it. She may be the most scrutinized individual in public life. Her flaws have been chewed over for years. And yet she’s still standing, an accomplishment in itself. Throughout her trials and triumphs, she has shown an admirable level of resilience and self-confidence.

The Number is 15

15 women have accused Donald Trump of assaulting or violating them. My prediction might be correct: By Nov. 8 @realDonaldTrump will beat Cosby in sexual assault allegations.

In other news, Marlee Matlin responds to Trump’s “retarded” remark:

The fact that we are talking about this during a very important moment in American history has upset me deeply. As a person who is deaf, as a woman, as a mom, as a wife, as an actor, I have a voice. And I’m using that voice to make myself heard … and vote. There are millions of deaf and hard of hearing people like me, in the United States and around the world, who face discrimination and misunderstanding like this on a daily basis. It is unacceptable.
