2016 US Presidental election thread

I couldn't find the whole SNL sketch on the second debate but CNN has some of the funniest moments.
Is it wrong I have watched this show since the 70"s and though the laughs are few and far between for me now, I think Alex Baldwin did an excellent portrayal and Kate McKinnon is hilarious!

I've only come across this on one site..

Democratic officials in North Carolina have asked law enforcement to step up protection of campaign workers after Orange County offices for both the Republican and Democratic parties were targeted on the same day. On Sunday, the Republican Party said that its Orange County headquarters was set ablaze by vandals. Graffiti found on a nearby building said, “Nazi Republicans leave town or else.”
In a message posted to Twitter, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump blamed the attack on “[a]nimals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina.”
But Orange County Democratic Party Chair Matt Hughes told Raw Story on Monday that vandals had also targeted his offices in Carrboro. Both attacks were said to have occurred early Sunday morning.
According to Hughes, staffers found the words “Death to Capitalism” scrawled on the OCDP headquarters when they came into work.

Vogue endorses Clinton

For all the chaos and unpredictability and the sometimes appalling spectacle of this election season, the question of which candidate actually deserves to be president has never been a difficult one.
Vogue has no history of political endorsements. Editors in chief have made their opinions known from time to time, but the magazine has never spoken in an election with a single voice. Given the profound stakes of this one, and the history that stands to be made, we feel that should change.
Vogue endorses Hillary Clinton for president of the United States.
Perhaps that sentence won’t come as a surprise. Vogue has enthusiastically covered Hillary Clinton’s career, her rise from Yale law student to governor’s wife to First Lady to senator to Secretary of State. She has been profiled by the magazine six times.
(For the record, we have also featured Donald Trump—or, more particularly, his family members Ivana, Marla, Melania, and Ivanka—multiple times in our pages.)
We understand that Clinton has not always been a perfect candidate, yet her fierce intelligence and considerable experience are reflected in policies and positions that are clear, sound, and hopeful.

Jewish reporter targeted with anti-Semitic tweets from Trump supporter

A Jewish female reporter for the political news website Politico has been targeted with anti-Semitic messages from a Donald Trump supporter.
Hadas Gold is the editor of Politico’s “On The Media” blog. A photoshopped image of Gold was posted Monday on Twitter, including a bloody bullet hole in her forehead and a yellow star worn by Jews in Nazi Germany pinned to her chest. She also received emails with threatening and anti-Semitic messages.

“Don’t mess with our boy Trump or you will be first in line for the camp,” read a message accompanying the photo. “Aliyah or line up by the wall, your choice.”
Aliyah is a Hebrew term for immigrating to Israel.

What does it say about this election that I'm so meh about really crazy anti Semitic attacks on me on social media and via email?
— Hadas Gold (@Hadas_Gold) October 16, 2016

The Twitter account that sent the message has been suspended, according to Buzzfeed, which published a screenshot of the image.
“Politico notified Twitter of the threatening and vile tweets, and Twitter acted promptly to suspend the account. There were many more tweets and emails, some even more vile if that is imaginable. A police report is in the process of being filed,” said Politico in a statement.

Did anyone watch Don Lemon last night interviewing Mark Cuban? Mark says he personally knows 2 women Trump has sexually abused!
The video interview clip has Mark's opinions on the debate coming tonight, but for the particular remarks about Trump sexually assaulting women go to the 3:10 time stamp.
