Hillary Clinton Was a Model of Grace and Poise Throughout a Disgusting Ordeal by Michelle Goldberg Slate
In the spin room (after Sunday night's presidential debate), British right-winger Nigel Farage compared Trump, favorably, to a silverback gorilla: “He dominated her.” Maybe men will find this impressive. I suspect that women will not. ~ Michelle Goldberg, Slate Magazine
This outlandish celebration of the ultimate "alpha male" dominance inspired me to inquire into the penis size of a silverback gorilla. Low and behold, the silverback gorilla has the smallest penis of all, writes Carole Jahme. And he relies not on the size of his penis but strength and girth to dominate the females.

Democrats and Republicans Agree: Donald Trump Was Wrong to Threaten Hillary Clinton With Jail Fortune
In the aftermath of daylight, most American citizens found Donald Trump's assertions to go beyond what we know of America's 1950's McCarthy era, a period that specialized in routing out alleged Communists by jailing them. Perhaps never in American political history did one presidential candidate promise to jail the other if elected. This is the practice of undemocratic, third-world countries, aka dictatorships.
Leaders from both political parties spoke up today on Trump's promise to jail Clinton -- a key plank in the platform of America's alt-right, nationalist movement.
“Winning candidates don’t threaten to put opponents in jail. Presidents don’t threaten prosecution of individuals. Trump is wrong on this,” said Ari Fleischer, former White House Press Secretary for President George W. Bush.
“Be afraid of any candidate who says he will order DOJ/FBI to act on his command,” said Eric Holder, who served as Attorney General under President Obama. “This is dangerous/so is @realDonaldTrump-he’s not qualified.”
“In the USA we do not threaten to jail political opponents. @realDonaldTrump said he would. He is promising to abuse the power of the office,” Holder added.
Trump: Warren Buffett avoids taxes like me. Buffett: Nope, and here's my taxes to prove it VOX
After CNN's Anderson Cooper asked Donald Trump point blank if he used his $916 million reported loss from his 1995 tax return to avoid income taxes in other years, Trump shot back that he did — but so did the fourth richest man in the world, Hillary Clinton supporter Warren Buffett. Now Trump is in the muck on this topic because Warren Buffett is one of the strongest advocates for the rich paying their fair share of taxes, including a return to the estate tax -- which Republicans abhore. Note that close friend Bill Gates also pays his fair share of taxes and speaks together with Buffett on raising the estate tax. Donald Trump argues that all billionaires are created equal and they ALL try to pay the least amount of taxes possible. In fact, among Democrats and many Independents, this is not true. Many billionaires believe in a prosperous middle class and believe that their wealth is key in creating civic success for as many Americans as possible.
Today, Warren Buffett really stuck it to Trump, releasing the details of his tax records.
Buffett delivered a statement saying, in effect that he never used a carry-forward, the technique that Trump used to avoid paying federal taxes for about 18 years. Buffett declares that he has paid taxes every year since 1944, when he was 13 and paid $7 to fund World War II.
It gets better. Buffett reports that he took only $3.5 million in charitable deductions — even though he donated more than $2.8 billion. This is a not-so-subtle dig at Trump’s “charitable” efforts, which amount to donating other people's money in his name. Buffett, by contrast, has pledged most of his estate to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the remainder to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation (named after his late wife). Both the Gates Foundation and the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation are among the biggest backers of family planning and reproductive health and rights programs in the United States and worldwide.
In a final twist of the proverbial knife, Buffett notes that he is currently being audited — but is releasing information from his 2015 return anyway, since that is totally allowed. Apparently Warren Buffet's lawyers aren't as smart as Trump's, who are rumored to have advised him not to release tax returns that are under audit.
