FOX News Billy Bush

Two months, tops. Billy Bush will be on FOX news in some capacity.
I had no idea who this guy was until the Trump bus tapes story broke. He's going to monetize this way above his talents and value.

"Their Rapists"

I still insist that Trump was misquoted when we thought he said Mexico was sending "Their rapists". He has no problem with rapists. He's nuts. What scares the hell out of him is THERAPISTS.

Trump the Pussy

Awaiting Trump's video response to the news today. He will apologize profusely in some sort of non-apology Trumpspeak.
He will NOT step down from the presidential race. Not tonight. But the deal is in the works. There's no way he's going to survive this.

Next up? The imminently insane Mike Pence for POTUS.

BTW, lucky enough for FOX News, Hurricane Matthew is tearing up the East coast so they can avoid reporting that another FOX hero foisted on the American public is going down in flames. For now. Tomorrow, they'll have a spin on it. Tonight? They just sweat bullets in spin rooms.

Sean Hannity has to be glad that the hurricane bumped him off the air tonight. Let's tally it up. He trumpeted the Bundy clan, Michele Bachmann, Louis Gohmert, Sarah Palin. Anyone else? Oh yeah. Ben Carson. Every loony-toon right-wing fascist idiot of the past 20 years was promoted to the hilt by this guy, all soon to be laughingstocks and national embarrassments. His record is intact.
Trump is out. The writing is on the wall. It may take a few days to sort out, but it's a done deal. The REAL fun now is what must be going on in the back rooms between the camps of two truly insane power-mad idiots trying to make their case for which gets to take the mantle of candidate. Ted Cruz or Mike Pence. No one could have written a trashier, more satisfying political dime thriller.

Hillary's Cannabis Conundrum

Word has it that Hillary wants to take a harsher federal stance against the use of marijuana. If this is true, I predict she will soften the rhetoric about it, or hide it, or try to thread the political needle on the issue. She  has barely over 30 days  to parse her stance, and she's going to feel the heat of the backlash from this.
Jill Stein and Bernie were absolutely clear on the issue. We won't be able to expect the same from Hillary.

Population and Dr. Borlaug

Consider the warnings of Norman Borlaug:
"The green revolution has won a temporary success in man's war against hunger and deprivation; it has given man a breathing space. If fully implemented, the revolution can provide sufficient food for sustenance during the next three decades. But the frightening power of human reproduction must also be curbed; otherwise the success of the green revolution will be ephemeral only. Most people still fail to comprehend the magnitude and menace of the "Population Monster"...Since man is potentially a rational being, however, I am confident that within the next two decades he will recognize the self-destructive course he steers along the road of irresponsible population growth..."
Technology and progress can buy some time, but it can't solve the coming crisis. There's just too damn many people. Until we solve that problem, all other problems are inconsequential.
By the way, the quote is from his Nobel Peace Prize speech in 1970. I think we're seeing the affects today, the ones he warned about 46 years ago. We haven't begun to address the problem, and the situation will accelerate in seriousness.

Thirty-Five Percent

Trump has a floor of around 35%, which is about all he's going to get. Hillary is going to win with over 53%. That's about the gist of it. That being said, I'm voting for Jill, though I know it's a done deal. Unless something big happens, Hillary gets forced out, and Bernie becomes the nominee. (Highly unlikely, but possible).
But there's going to be 35% of people in this country going to vote for Trump. That thought ought to scare the hell out of you. Even after he loses. I mean, those people are still here. Tens of millions.
