Sunday News: Trump Threatens to Sue Women Accusers in Opposite-of-Lincoln Gettysburg Speech; SNL Does the Third Debate

by Lowell

Here are a few national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Sunday, October 23. Also check out SNL’s “cold open” last night, with Tom Hanks as Chris Wallace. LOL

• Trump threatens to sue all the women who accused him of sexual assault (“All of these liars will be sued after the election is over.” Yep, that’s how Trump would govern…a dangerous tyrant, not to mention a serial sexual abuser and raging misogynist. Explain to me again how ANYONE is supporting this sociopath?)
• Woman Says Trump Sexually Assaulted Her, Offered Her $10,000 For Sex (“Jessica Drake said Trump kissed her and her friends without permission and offered her money to spend the night with him.”)
• The good and bad news on climate change (Just remember, Trump and many other Republicans either outright DENY this is happening or are “skeptical” about man’s role in causing it. VOTE THEM ALL OUT OF OFFICE!)
• Buoyed by rising polls, Clinton shifts to a new target: The House and Senate
• Adult Film Star Jessica Drake Becomes 11th Woman to Accuse Donald Trump of Sexual Misconduct
• Trump tries to look to the future but gets mired in present troubles (“In a speech outlining his vision for his first 100 days in office, the GOP nominee initially used the talk to accuse the media of biased reporting and vowed to sue the nearly-dozen women who have accused him of sexual assault.”)
• As Trump delivers his Gettysburg address, Republicans prepare for a civil war (Great headline!)
• THE NEW YORKER ENDORSES HILLARY CLINTON (“The election of Hillary Clinton is an event that we would welcome for its historical importance, and greet with indescribable relief.”)
• The battle for the Senate has narrowed to these 6 states (“Donald Trump’s October slump doesn’t appear to be expanding the map, yet Democrats still hold the pole position.”)
• Clinton looks past Trump (“‘I don’t even think about responding to him anymore,’ the Democratic nominee says as she focuses on electing down-ballot candidates.”)
• A Chance to Unseat Marco Rubio (This pathetic coward richly deserves to lose.)
• Journalists Mock Trump’s “Grievanceburg Address” At Gettysburg (That was basically the polar opposite of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Of course, Trump is the polar opposite of Lincoln, and today’s GOP the polar opposite of Lincoln’s GOP, so there you have it…)
• AT&T Agrees to $85 Billion Acquisition of Time Warner
• Log Cabin Republicans board votes against endorsing Trump
• ‘She didn’t have credibility anymore’: The moment Rolling Stone’s U-Va. rape story unraveled
• Miley Cyrus knocks on doors for Hillary Clinton at a Va. college dorm (“The 23-year-old pop star — a former Bernie Sanders supporter — was greeted by thrilled George Mason University students eager to take selfies.”)

• How can Goodlatte and Griffith support Trump? (Because they’re both horrible and need to be voted out of office ASAP?)
• Virginia can grow clean energy business, cut energy costs and create jobs
• Dittmar, Garrett vie for open seat in 5th Congressional District (Garrett would simply add to the dysfunction we’ve seen in the horrendous Tea Party Congress. Vote Dittmar, who will be infinitely better!)

• Virginian-Pilot editorial: Time for The Tide to reach the Beach
• Metro riders like the cure, but aren’t sure about the medicine
• At Regent, Trump makes push for evangelicals, military vote (The “Liberty” students who wrote the letter explaining how Christians can NOT vote for Trump are 100% correct. Trump is antithetical to everything Jesus stood for.)
• Juror’s posts about thugs, Black Lives Matter went unnoticed before Norfolk officer’s trial (My god…)
• Feds in Burfoot corruption case want to see more video from Norfolk council meetings
• The best of fall, with mild days today and tomorrow, then another cool shot
