Chummy Reporters: How Will Hillary React to Trump on Bill’s Women?

Joking and laughing with reporters, Hillary Clinton on Thursday only gently had to deal with Donald Trump threatening to bring up Bill Clinton’s sexual infidelities. In a friendly atmosphere, the journalists wondered more about how the Democrat will respond and very little about the actual issue it raises about how Mrs. Clinton treats other women.

Libs Gone Insane: ‘What’s at Stake for Porn Performers on Election Day

Editor’s Note: Normal people might find some of this offensive. (We hope.) Whether you want to cover yourself in native costumes or octopuses (not octopi), crazy liberal journalists are covering themselves in anything but glory this election.
