Full. Blown Panic.
As the polls showing a Hillary Clinton lead narrow, democrats are now in full blown panic mode. Barack Obama is book ending his Presidency with another apology tour in Laos in which he painted Americans as “lazy” and “racist.” As Clinton continues to dissemble about her emails FBI Director James Comey informed the country that more Clinton documents are on the way. The left went postal about Matt Lauer’s daring to ask Clinton pointed questions about her emails.
It was a high-stakes political moment, far from the chummier confines of the “Today” show and, for Matt Lauer, NBC’s stalwart of the morning, a chance to prove his broadcasting mettle on the presidential stage.
The consensus afterward was not kind.
Charged with overseeing a live prime-time forum with Donald J. Trumpand Hillary Clinton — widely seen as a dry run of sorts for the coming presidential debates — Mr. Lauer found himself besieged on Wednesday evening by critics of all political stripes, who accused the anchor of unfairness, sloppiness and even sexism in his handling of the event.
And then the obvious bias spills out:
Mr. Trump stormed onstage in his familiar motor-mouth style
That’s editorializing, not reporting. But then, it’s the NY Slimes.
For more left wing outrage, you can visit here.
Matt Lauer has been labeled a ‘morning show lightweight’ by furious political pundits after he failed to grill Donald Trump on his claim he never supported the Iraq War during a Commander in Chief Forum on Wednesday night – but relentlessly questioned Hillary over her private email scandal.
Never mind that she’s lied through her teeth with her ever changing stories. Now let’s pile on.
Confidence in Donald Trump is growing on the Hill:
“Trump is getting better,” Graham told reporters Tuesday pointing to the recent polling. “You can see a more disciplined message. If he can hold it together for another 8 weeks.”
Graham, who ran against Trump in the primary and doubted that the New York billionaire could beat Clinton, appeared impressed that Trump could withstand the amount of political attacks he had taken so far.
“He’s had massive political body blows that would knock anybody else out. If he can cross the lines in the eyes of the public and be ready for the job, then I think you’re gonna have one hell of a race,” Graham added.
Uh oh.
Hollywood is peeing in its collective pants:
Hollywood Democrats are getting nervous about recent polls that show the race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump tightening.
“I’m freaked out,” David Schneiderman, co-owner and founder of Seismic Productions and prominent Clinton supporter, told TheWrap. “I now post stuff on Facebook every day bugging all my friends to do something. No one wants to wake up to Donald Trump on November 8.”
A Tuesday CNN/ORC poll showing Trump leading Clinton in a head-to-head match for the first time in six weeks caught some of Clinton’s staunchest industry supporters and donors by surprise. It is one of the “big five” polls widely considered the most reliable — though some journalists questioned its methodology.
A number of celebrities are threatening to leave the country if Trump wins the election- perhaps blissfully ignorant of the fact that that is likely to be a incentive to vote for Trump.
Clinton henchman James Carville, who famously browbeat sexual assault victims, is already ranting about the election.
Bubba is raging about Trump.
Former President Bill Clinton ridiculed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for his slogan “Make America Great Again” suggesting that it was a false promise to American voters and racially motivated.
Senility must be setting in, because back in 2008 Bubba said Hillary would make America great again.
I saved the best for last. I thought I was somehow on The Onion website when I caught this article:
WASHINGTON — Nancy Pelosi, the House minority leader, sent a letter on Tuesday to Speaker Paul D. Ryan urging him to bar Republicans from using hacked documents in the campaign, arguing that “defending our democracy is more important than any advantage or disadvantage in this election.”
Did she really write that? apparently so.
Ms. Pelosi, calling the hack into Democratic servers, apparently by Russians, “an unprecedented assault on the sanctity of our democratic process,” said Mr. Ryan should not condone either party using materials originating from the cybercrime.
“Democrats and Republicans must present a united front in the face of Russia’s attempts to tamper with the will of the American people,” Ms. Pelosi wrote.
No sane person would expect Pelosi to honor a similar request were the shoe on the other foot. Pelosi knows something is coming in the air tonight. It’s panic in Clinton Park.
Oh Lord.

@Greg: I guess we just add you to the clapping seals that cheered when she said “We are going to raise taxes on the middle class!”
As far as ethics who was the last candidate that fixed the nomination? Another historical first for the whore of babylon.
@July 4th American, #49:
Obama hasn’t actually committed any impeachable offences. There have only been repeated accusations, which serve the same political purpose as a laundry list of accusations of criminal wrongdoing on the part of Hillary Clinton that are never substantiated with evidence. The endless repetition is part of a propaganda campaign.
As was previously observed, with the largest Congressional majority since the 71st Congress of 1929–1931, there are only a couple of reason why Republicans wouldn’t have begun impeachment proceedings long before now: Either they know none of their accusations of high crimes and misdemeanors on Obama’s part will stand up to close legal scrutiny, or they’re so dysfunctional as a legislative body that they can’t rise to the occasion.
Common Sense As much as you dislike HRC, you can double it re. my distain for Trump–Remember Doc, as a political junkie and former New Yorker, I’ve been following him for forty years. I’d feel dirty if I voted for him.
With a clear conscience I’ll write in Clifton Roberts of The Humane Party,
Semper Fi RW
@Greg:
Here you are Greg. Give this a once over and defend the Constitutionality of this action by obama.
June 15, 2012: The Obama administration announced it will stop deporting illegal immigrants under the age of 30 in a “deferred action” policy to circumvent immigration laws. This comes after Congress rejected a similar measure about a year ago. Since then, more than 500,000 illegals have received the deferment and only 20,000 have been rejected. As for the law-abiding applicants who have been waiting in line, well, that’s Obama’s idea of “lawfulness.”
@a: Rich, I understand where your coming from but in this case I still believe your misguided. Any vote other than for Trump puts hilldabeast in the white house. Now tell me Rich, has Trump done anything as vile as leaving men to die on the field of battle and then even worse lied about it?? Please identify what that might be. Secondly has Trump ever shared confidential emails with our enemies or as Secretary of State taken in millions of dollars in a pay to play scheme?? There is NO way Trump is as evil as hilldbabeast. So far you haven’t identified to me one thing that rises to this level. Also has she ever created jobs, ran an international business with a net worth of billions of dollars. Bankruptcy BTW is a part of business in the real world so that isn’t even closed to high treason!!
@July 4th American, #54:
Has something recently made prosecutorial discretion illegal? Or are you simply unaware of the fact that it’s completely within the authority of any governmental prosecuting attorney to exercise it, and by extension, fully within the authority of the Chief Executive of the United States of America, aka the President?
For all practical purposes, such authority is virtually absolute. If you doubt the truth of that, look the term up.
@Common Sense: Trump is sleazy. Spread unfounded rumors about Dr. Carson, Demeaned Cruz’s wife and father, Ridiculed a disabled reporter. Demeaned Meghyn Kelly. Is a birther–that’s just stupid. Demeaned Mac and other POW’S while ducking service.Praises a criminal like Putin.
I could go on– He’s crass, classless and yes sleazy. Not for me.
Like I said he didn’t do near what hilldabeast did and a vote for anyone else puts her in the white house!! BTW hilldabeast said that anyone, that’s anyone, who votes for Trump is deplorable. Coming from someone who did what I said in my last response. Rich, what Trump has said on the campaign trail, and BTW Carson has endorsed Trump. A campaign is different than being President or Secretary of State. HIlldabeast left soldiers on the field of battle to die and lied about it over their dead bodies. You own your vote but I owe it to the country I served to do all I can to keep a treasonous person out of the White House!!
@Common Sense: If you check the polling many when polling on a head to head, Clinton is winning, When 3rd party is added she is behind, Trumps numbers dont move, there are a great many who are still undecided or wont admit of who they are going to vote for. Any vote not for Hillary is an intelligent well informed vote, as my 1st choice candidate said vote your conscience. Those supporting Trump weigh your words to undecided or nearly not Hillarys wisely. The media will exploit rude and crass behavior of supporters. We need to exploit the ignorant, ill informed liberal I know it all attitudes with facts keep them simple. Do you feel safer more secure after 8 years of Democrat rule. I simply dont feel their policies are helping I and my childrens future.
@Common Sense: Re HRC YOU ARE PREACHING TO THE CHOIR. I won’t vote for her either. My vote will be for The Humane Party’s Clifton Roberts.
@Greg:
Stealing and using someone’s Social Security number is an impeachable offense.
@a:
Correction, he’s in the Vegetarian Party.
@Richard Wheeler: 57
Unlike Hillary, who blamed the women that Bill raped. And had poor ole Vince eliminated when he quit playing ball. Let’s see, was that Trump or Hillary that fired all the employees in the Travel Office? I’d guess Crooked Hillary. But at least she allows ole Slick to take his Lolita Express flights, I guess that’s a plus for her.
@Richard Wheeler:
You’re still confused. He didn’t demean Mac, he simply said he preferred heros that didn’t get captured. While I doubt that Mac deliberately got captured, I sure don’t consider him a hero. Hero’s do heroic acts, getting captured hardly falls within that category.
Trump reported for his physical and was rejected by the medical exam. How is that ‘ducking’. If you had failed your medical, would you then be a draft dodger? Praises Putin? Simply said he is a far better leader for his country than Obozo is for his country. You surely can’t deny that as truth.
@Richard Wheeler:
That’s the ‘Vegetarian Party’ what country in Roberts from, Indonesia? or Somalia? I can never get the truth on that.
@Redteam (One of The Proud Deplorables), #61:
Both versions of the story are fabrications, originally spread across various mailing lists of gullible people (otherwise known as the republican base) as viral emails.
If any further verification were needed that the republican base is extraordinarily gullible, we now have the candidacy of Donald Trump as irrefutable evidence. There’s a strong possibility many will be abandoning FOX News for a newly launched Trump News Network sometime after November. Trump has developed a cohesive national following and compiled the mother of all mailing lists, and would never let an exploitable opportunity like that go to waste. He can smell a multi-million-dollar investment opportunity 100 miles away.
@Greg:
gullitble? that would be Obamites. it is established fact that he is using someone else’s SS number.
Trump hasn’t been ahead of her in the RCP national poll average since July.
Not to worry. Trump has already paved the way for a “rigged election” assertion, with corollary claims of a “rigged system” and a “rigged debate.” That should be a hot topic for the launch of Trump News Network, home of the National Anger Monkey.
Here’s your one-stop-shopping source for debunking common Obama conspiracy theories: The Debunker’s Guide to Obama Conspiracy Theories
@Greg:
Prose tutorial discretion is not illegal. Do you believe the prosecutorial discretion as argued before the Supreme Court by the adminstration that Obama “can make millions of people in this country illegally eligible for Social Security, disability and medicare”.
Obama decided to prioritize the deportation of the most undesirable undocumented aliens and not to waste the resources required to do so on prosecution and deportation of the most desirable undocumented aliens. I fail to see any problem with this. It is the wisest approach, given the situation as it exists. The job of the Chief Executive is to make such executive decisions.
Trump has proposed no coherent alternative immigration policy. He simply flaps his lips, and has contradicted himself on the stated details so often that there’s no clear policy there at all. He expects people to choose the statements they like the best and disregard the contradictions. That’s a deceptive campaign tactic, not an alternative immigration policy.
@Greg: Greggie, Obola won’t even agree to enforce the laws on the books. Trump said he would do this from day one. What’s difficult to understand about that Greggie?? English your third language?? You really have never attempted to understand his policy statements have you Greggie. He spelled out his intent after he returned from Mexico. What did hilldabeast say after she returned, never mind. Another news flash Greggie, Obola’s presidency is coming to an end!!
@Greg: Wrong Greggie, most recent poll has Trump up three. Then again is English your third language??
@Greg:
POSTED ON MAY 15, 2015 BY PAUL MIRENGOFF IN IMMIGRATION
DHS IG REPORT UNDERCUTS ARGUMENT FOR OBAMA’S EXECUTIVE AMNESTY
In defense of President Obama’s executive amnesty, the Department of Justice has argued in court that the policy is a proper exercise of prosecutorial discretion. It claims that by deferring action on millions of illegal aliens, the Department of Homeland Security can “focus limited resources on higher priority aliens,” namely those who pose “threats to national security, border security, and public safety.”
However, as Hans von Spakovsky explains, a report by DHS Inspector General John Roth undercuts the Justice Department’s contention. The report, published on May 4, finds that the DHS “does not gather and analyze prosecutorial discretion data. . .” Thus it does not have the ability “to fully assess its current immigration enforcement activities and to develop future policy.”
In other words, the DHS isn’t collecting the information needed to focus its enforcement efforts on the most dangerous illegal immigrants. Thus, it’s difficult to take seriously Team Obama’s claim that the executive amnesty is being granted to enable the DHS to focus on these illegal immigrants. If the administration had any intention of so focusing, presumably the DHS would be gathering the data with which to do so.
The administration’s “prosecutorial discretion” argument is also undercut by the fact that the DHS currently refuses to deport large numbers of illegal immigrants it knows have committed serious crimes in the U.S. Von Spakovsky points to information released by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee at a hearing on April 14, 2015. It shows that ICE let loose on the American public 36,000 convicted criminal aliens in fiscal year 2013 and 30,558 in fiscal year 2014.

@July 4th American, #73:
Hans von Spakovsky, of the Heritage Foundation? He’s hardly a non-partisan, unbiased source, is he?
@Greg:
Another paid responder response, attack the messenger not the content. It appears that in reality the so called prosecutorial discretion fell flat on its face. Why were thousands of illegal alien criminals in our prisons released into the general public and not deported?
By the way, regarding Trump’s repeated claims that the U.S. economy is a total disaster, folks—a total disaster; this just in, from Reuters, Sept 13, 2016:
U.S. household income posts record surge in 2015, poverty falls
I have every confidence that Donald Trump can “fix” this problem.
@Greg: Where did Reuters get their data?
Uh-oh… propaganda alert.
Certainly not from Donald the Liar, or any crack-brained right-wing voodoo economists who rely on a Magic 8-Ball and the examination of chicken entrails rather than data collected in the same fashion it has been collected for decades.
@Greg: Well, let’s see… Hillary has NOTHING in the way of a single positive achievement to campaign on and MEANWHILE, her lies, corruption and incompetence continues to be exposed more and more. All she and the Democrats have to cling to is a popular Obama (not his policies or record, which stink, but the person himself). So, who would doubt that this administration that has lied for 8 years would spread false information about the economy to lure more fools into the trap of voting for Hillary? After all, that’s what they’ve done since “stimulus” failed.
Worker participation is at an almost all time low, most of the jobs created are part time and low paying, the economy is growing at .95%… and thinking people are expected to suddenly suspend reality and believe the economy is booming?
Good luck with that.
It’s probably a tough sell among those who lack the educational background, vocational skills, and flexibility to adapt to a rapidly changing 21st Century economy and workplace. Their situation won’t automatically improve dramatically as the economy grows. Unfortunately, time does not stand still, let alone roll back to some earlier era. We’re now competing in a technologically advanced global economy, and it will become even more so in the future, not less so.
Trump is successfully harnessing dissatisfaction and anger, but he’s making promises that he can’t keep.
@Greg:
GDP for $500 Alex…..
This president is the first to have never had a quarter of GDP growth in two terms…
Who is obama?
@Greg:
where is this income growth supposedly coming from? Because wages and total earnings are not rising anywhere near 5 percent real. Neither is total compensation.

@July 4th American, #82:
Why don’t you take a look at Donald’s tax returns, and then try to figure out which income segment most of the nation’s GDP growth has been going to for the past few years? As Donald well knows, it might be instructive.
The average annual GDP growth rate for the years from 1947 through 2016 is 3.2 percent. The years of the Obama administration will likely average a bit under 2 percent, which isn’t actually too bad, considering he inherited the worst and most prolonged economic recession since the Great Depression. When he took office, the annual GDP grown rate was around -8 percent, or a negative 8 percent—the GDP was shrinking at a rate of 8 percent per year.
I measure a recovery by the actual extent of the recovery, not against the GDP growth rate as it existed during optimal economic conditions. Doing otherwise is dishonest.
Yes. Donald Trump is a liar. He lies constantly. He can’t open his mouth without lying. Why the hell should we take this jackass’s word for anything? That question isn’t about Hillary Clinton. It’s specifically and entirely about Donald Trump. The fact of the matter is that Clinton has been put under a microscope in the media, while Trump has been handed a pass. Look what happens when someone dares to ask Conway direct questions. She gets up on her high horse and pretends to take offence. Apparently no one is allowed to ask pointed questions about Donald Trump. Because, you know, Clinton.
All Kellyanne Conway does is deflect, dodge, and change the subject to bullshit about Hillary Clinton. She’s been hired to put a nice face on things, but she’s a shill. Trump is a lying fraud, and this fast-talking woman is helping him lie to the American people. yap yap yap yap yap yap. But no straight answers. NONE.
To hell with all of this left-leaning media b.s. If the media doesn’t go after Trump and demand straight answers, it’s complicit in the deception.
@Greg: Greggie, rather than blowing a bunch of Bull Shit why don’t you list the things Trump has lied about. All you do is accuse with NO proof. WE know for a fact that Obola has lied to America and I’ll help you. He said if you like your health insurance and/or doctor you can keep them period (6 million lost their coverage), he told America Iraq was stable, he told America ISIS was a JV Team, he told America ISIS was contained, he told America AlQaeda is on their heels, and he told America Benghazi was caused by a video. He won’t even admit that Radical Islamic Terrorist exist. Now those are lies Greggie. Tell me how Trump has lied. Please provide times and facts Greggie!!
@Greg: True. The truth is out there on Hillary. She is a corrupt, lying incompetent and should never have the opportunity to ransack the White House again.
Your inaccurate characterization of Trump is a precise definition of Hillary. She has YET to tell the truth and must continue lying to cover up past lies. She has provided nothing positive to the world while Trump has created businesses and tens of thousands of jobs.
Obama says Trump has no idea how to manage a crisis; well, obviously, neither does he or Hillary. Certainly lying and false blame is managing nothing.
Greg, don’t get despondent and cranky just because Hillary is cratering (again). There’ll be other incompetent liberals to support. Lord knows there are plenty to choose from.
@Greg:
Is the increase in the household the result of an increase in the size of the household or an increase in the he income of the people in the household?
Labor force participation is at the lowest levels since jimmy carter.
Your president will be the only president in the history of presidents to not have a not had a single quarter of 3% economic growth.
Apparently as far back as 1998 Hillary was lying about her health.
She had a blood clot in her leg.
She passed it off (to her staff and any public/media) as merely a sore muscle.
She forced a nurse to go around with her ”plainclothes,” so as to administer and monitor her while she was on prescribed blood thinners (and should have been on 100% bed rest in a hospital.)
A female Rear Admiral came clean about it in her memoir.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3789248/The-Clinton-health-cover-revealed-Doctor-tells-Hillary-kept-blood-clot-SECRET-staff-nurse-travel-plain-clothes-administer-drugs.html
So, lying is Hillary’s first line of defense.
Then she slings mud.
As do her syncophants.
@Bill, #86:
The right’s willingness to be deceived in return for the illusion that they have found a political savior in a fraud like Donald Trump is nothing short of pathetic. There’s something fundamentally wrong and degrading about an adult human being needing something so badly that they’ll submit to lies so transparent that they should be an insult to anyone’s intelligence.
@Greg: They lost with gentlemen like Mac and Mitt
“Let’s go with a crass, classless flame thrower. We can’t do much worse.” They got lucky that HRC got the Dem. nom. Biden would have won big–Even Bernie would have beaten Trump.
The race is close with high negatives for both. Pennsylvania winner will be POTUS. SAD DAY FOR AMERICA
@Greg: No, the problem the left is faced with is the comparison of Hillary with ANYONE. Compared to her, Trump is indeed a savior. Hillary is a proven liar, incompetent and corrupt. Proven, beyond ANY doubt.
On every count, by every measure, Trump is a better choice than Hillary.
Keep telling yourself that, Bill. Maybe that will make it be true.
