Read the 1998 Affidavit of Juanita Broaddrick denying non-consensual sex with President Clinton.

http://www.anusha.com/janedoe5.htm

Released on Monday, March 30, 1998
Following is the full text of a Jan. 2 affidavit from the woman named in documents filed by the Jones legal team on March 28, 1998. Those documents reported an unsubstantiated hearsay claim that the woman, here called "Jane Doe #5," was raped by Bill Clinton 20 years ago.

1. My name is Jane Doe #5. I am 55 years old and have been married since 1981. I have one child, age 28. I currently reside in Arkansas.

2. In November of 1997, two private investigators retained by Paula Corbin Jones approached me at my residence. I declined to speak with them, but provided the name of my family attorney. I subsequently was served with a subpoena seeking the production of documents and purporting to require my testimony at a deposition in the civil action between Paula Corbin Jones and President William Jefferson Clinton (Civil Action No. LR-C-94-290). I have never met Ms. Jones, nor do I have any information regarding the allegations that she has advanced against President Clinton. In this regard, I have no knowledge or information regarding the events she has alleged occurred on May 8, 1991 at the Excelsior Hotel or, for that matter, any knowledge or information regarding any interaction between herself and Mr. Clinton.

3. I met President Clinton more than twenty years ago through family friends. Our introduction was not arranged or facilitated, in any way, by the Arkansas State Police. I have never been an Arkansas state employee or a federal employee. I have never discussed with Mr. Clinton the possibility of state or federal employment nor has he offered me any such position. I have had no further relations with him for the past (15) years.

4. During the 1992 Presidential campaign there were unfounded rumors and stories circulated that Mr. Clinton had made unwelcome sexual advances toward me in the late seventies. Newspaper and tabloid reporters hounded me and my family, seeking corroboration of these tales. I repeatedly denied the allegations and requested that my family's privacy be respected. These allegations are untrue and I had hoped that they would no longer haunt me, or cause further disruption to my family.

5. I do not possess any information that could possibly be relevant to the allegations advanced by Paula Corbin Jones or which could lead to admissible evidence in her case. Specifically, I do not have any information to offer regarding a nonconsensual or unwelcome sexual advance by Mr. Clinton, any discussion offer or provision of state or federal employment or advancement in exchange for sexual conduct, or any use of state troopers to procure women for sex. Requiring my testimony at a deposition in this matter would cause unwarranted attorney's fees and costs, disruption to my life and constitute an invasion of my right to privacy. For these reasons, I have asked my attorney to advise Ms. Jones's counsel that there is no truth to the rumors they are pursuing and to provide her counsel with this sworn affidavit.


Further affiant sayeth not.

Trump suffering from severe Antisocial Personality Disorder with sociopathic tendencies

Im not supposed to keep up appearances of a sofa psychiatrist, but we have all gotten to know Trumps race to the bottom.
His actions and statements are not one of a healthy person.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/conditions/antisocial-personality-disorder

Antisocial personality disorder is best understood within the context of the broader category of personality disorders.
A personality disorder is an enduring pattern of personal experience and behavior that deviates noticeably from the expectations of the individual's culture, is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to personal distress or impairment

Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others.

The severity of symptoms of antisocial personality disorder can vary in severity. The more egregious, harmful, or dangerous behavior patterns are referred to as sociopathic or psychopathic. There has been much debate as to the distinction between these descriptions. Sociopathy is chiefly characterized as a something severely wrong with one's conscience; psychopathy is characterized as a complete lack of conscience regarding others. Some professionals describe people with this constellation of symptoms as "stone cold" to the rights of others. Complications of this disorder include imprisonment, drug abuse, and alcoholism.

People with this illness may seem charming, but they are likely to be irritable and aggressive as well as irresponsible. They may have numerous somatic complaints and perhaps attempt suicide. Due to their manipulative tendencies, it is difficult to separate what they say about themselves that is true from what is not.



https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wicked-deeds/201604/how-know-if-you-are-dealing-sociopath

Forensic psychologists have discovered that certain key traits of violent behavior are very consistent with an antisocial personality disorder known as sociopathy.
This disorder is manifested in certain distinct and troublesome behavioral traits and characteristics.
Sociopathy is not classified as mental illnesses by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), released by the APA in 2013, lists sociopathy under the heading of AntisocialPersonality Disorders (ASPD).

The APA estimates that there are approximately eight million sociopaths in the U.S. Therefore, many of us know one, and may be related to one or intimately involved with one.

Sociopathy is characterized by the following personality and behavioral traits:
• A disregard for laws and social mores
• A disregard for the rights of others
• A failure to feel remorse or guilt
• A tendency to display violent behavior and emotional outbursts

Republican Gov. Whitman: Why Clinton is the only choice for president - Opinion

http://www.nj.com/opinion/index.ssf/2016/10/gov_whitman_why_clinton_is_the_only_true_choice_fo.html


By Christine Todd Whitman

Pundits and politicians — myself included — completely misjudged this election.

I certainly did not think that Donald Trump had a serious shot of being the Republican nominee when he first entered the presidential race. When he got the nomination, few thought the polls would ever be this close. And far too many have failed to recognize that there is a difference between change and chaos.

The latter is what we will get with a Trump presidency.


At a time when the country is facing real issues and many are wondering if they have a future of any quality, when we desperately need candidates who will speak to those issues and give us their solutions, we have a candidate who can't get over having lost a debate. Instead of talking about immigration reform or job creation, Donald Trump has spent the last week obsessing about the weight of a former Miss Universe.

Instead of outlining how he would deal with international issues, he complains that the debate moderator didn't like him and that his mic didn't work. Instead of giving real details on his tax policies, he promotes a fantasy that Hillary Clinton got citizenship for Alicia Machado in order to use her in the debate.

Unfortunately, our realistic alternatives are not happy ones. Gary Johnson's refusal or inability to name a single foreign leader, current or former, whom he admired, showed that he is not ready for the presidency. Jill Stein does not have the experience necessary to lead at a national level. That leaves Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton has many faults: And though she has apologized for what FBI Director James Comey called "extremely careless" handling of confidential information in her private emails — with former U.S. Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey saying a criminal charge was justified — the email scandal continues to raise questions about her judgement and honesty.

A Hillary presidency promises more of the Obama failed policies, but she would at least walk into the oval office ready to govern. She would be a steady hand on the nuclear code and she demonstrated a willingness to work across the aisle when she was in the senate.

We desperately need change. We need a Congress that cares more about doing the people's business than their own. We need elected officials who care more about policy than politics.

We need the kind of approach developed by No Labels. It's tempting to think that only a radical change agent in the White House can make that happen, but that assumption is wrong.

You can't fire Congress, the Supreme Court, or the civil servants in government. You can't ignore laws or regulations that are already on the books and have been tested in the courts. Like it or not, you have to know how to work within the process to effect change.

In this election, voting your conscience is not a straightforward choice, but it is critically important to vote. If sensible centrists stay home because there are no great options, we risk ceding control to the fringes of our political spectrum.

Please consider the long-term consequences of your choice and make that choice heard in November.

Trump says 'zero chance" he'll end White House bid,

Donald Trump said Saturday there is “zero chance” he’ll quit the White House race after the release of a damaging audio tape and the ensuing calls from fellow Republicans and others for him to step aside and even let running-mate Mike Pence become the party’s presidential candidate.

Trump candidacy shows lack of GOP core moral values – A dying party.

Morality is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are distinguished as proper and those that are improper. Morality can be a body of standards or principles derived from a code of conduct from a particular philosophy, religion, or culture, or it can derive from a standard that a person believes should be universal.

The election of 2016 will go down in history of the beginning of the end of the GOP party.

The GOP electorate and leadership have let Trump get away with his demeaning and racist behavior, and defended his candidacy due to personal ambition, partisanship, hatred towards a woman candidate and the Clinton name.

In the ruins we find a party without a set of core moral values.

What Bill Clinton really said about Obama Care. The whole video here.



we gotta figure out what to do on health care
our opponent says just repeal it all, the market will take care of it

that didn’t work very well out for us did it
we winded up with the most expensive system in the world, and we
insured the smallest number of people

on the other hand, the CURRENT SYSTEM WORKS FINE WHEN IF YOUR
ELIGABLE FOR MEDICAID, IF YOU ARE LOWER INCOME WORKING PERSON,
IF YOUR ALLREADY ON MEDICARE, OR IF YOU GET ENOUGHT SUBSIDIES ON A MODEST
INCOME THAT YOU CAN AFFORD YOUR HEALTH CARE.


BUT THE PEOPLE WHO IS GETTING KILLED IN THIS DEAL, ARE SMALL BUSINESS PEOPLE,

AND INDIVIDULAS WHO MAKE JUST A BIT TO MUCH TO MAKE ANY OF THESE SUBSEDIES.

WHY....(AND HE EXPLAINS...)

7 Things You Need To Know About Trump And Sex Slave Island

http://www.dailywire.com/news/5556/7-things-you-need-know-about-trump-and-sex-slave-amanda-prestigiacomo

Here are seven connections between Trump and Epstein's sex slave endeavors that you need to know about:

1.Trump himself has said that Epstein is “a lot of fun to be with,” adding that he admired the sex offender's affinity for beautiful women “on the younger side.”

"I've known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,'' Trump once said about the convicted sex offender. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

2. Trump was named in Epstein’s “little black book.”

Epstein’s “little black book” was stolen by a former employee in 2004. The book, nicknamed "The Holy Grail" by the employee, revealed the name of Donald Trump and listed “14 phone numbers including emergency numbers, car numbers, and numbers to Trump's security guard and houseman.”

3. Trump has allegedly flown on Epstein’s private plane — a hot spot for under-age sex orgies.

“Mark Epstein, Jeffrey's brother, testified in 2009 that Trump flew on Jeffrey's private jet at least once,” reports VICE News. “Meanwhile, message pads [see below] from Epstein's Palm Beach mansion that were seized by investigators and obtained by VICE News indicate that Trump called Epstein twice in November of 2004.”

Epstein’s private Boeing 727, according to one of his alleged victims, Virginia Roberts, was nicknamed the “Lolita Express.” Roberts recalled “unsavoury” sex orgies on the private plane when she was just 15 years of age with Epstein and his friends.

4. Both Trump and Epstein are named as sex abusers in a case with an under-aged girl.

Radar Online reports that a woman in California, “identified” as Katie Johnson, filed a $100 million lawsuit against Trump on April 26, accusing the real estate mogul of raping her when she was just 13 years old.

Johnson “claims Trump raped her when she was 13-years-old and forced her to engage in sex acts by threatening to harm her and her family,” notes The Independent UK. “She claims the alleged abuse took place over a four-month period at underage sex parties held in New York City in 1994.” Epstein was also named for alleged sexual misconduct and threats.

Trump’s team adamantly denies the accusation, suspecting the claim is possibly a hoax since there is allegedly “no evidence” the plaintiff “actually exists.”

5. Epstein admitted to knowing Trump under oath, and curiously pled the fifth to Trump attending sex parties with underage girls.

Back in 2010, Epstein admitted to “socializing” with Trump, but when a lawyer representing an under-aged victim of Epstein’s asked if he has “ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18,” Epstein curiously pled the Fifth. Per Vice News:

Q: Have you ever had a personal relationship with Donald Trump?
A. What do you mean by "personal relationship," sir?
Q. Have you socialized with him?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Yes?
A. Yes, sir.
Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?
A: Though I'd like to answer that question, at least today I'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights, sir.


6. At least one of Epstein’s underage sex victims was recruited from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago — which he frequented often.

Virginia Roberts, an alleged victim of Epstein’s, "was recruited to perform a massage for Epstein while working as a $9-per-hour locker room attendant at Mar-A-Lago.”

Roberts claims that “Epstein turned her into a ‘sex slave’ and pimped her out to various friends, including England's Prince Andrew. Over the years, the passengers on Epstein's jet, she said, included ‘a whole bunch of other girls, sometimes famous people, sometimes some politicians.'"


7. Trump was subpoenaed in 2009 for his connection to Epstein’s under-age sex slave rings. Trump has denied ever being served.

In 2009, Trump was subpoenaed in a case against Epstein concerning victim Virginia Roberts. Trump's attorney Alan Garten said that the subpoena "never happened."

"There is no debate over what happened," said one of Roberts' attorneys. "I served Mr. Trump with a subpoena for deposition in 2009. He talked to me voluntarily, and consequently we withdrew the subpoena in light of his voluntarily providing information…. I can't imagine there being any dispute of any of this."

Additionally, Garten told VICE News in January that Mr. Trump has "no relationship" with Epstein other than the Democratic donor frequenting Trump's Mar-A-Lago. "A lot of people hung out there, including Jeffrey Epstein," said Garten. "That is the only connection."

According to the evidence, however, the connections with Epstein appear to go a lot deeper than that.

Taliban declares Donald Trump a 'non-serious' candidate after watching debate

A Taliban spokesman says that after watching Monday's debate, leaders of the group decided Republican nominee Donald Trump is a "non-serious" candidate.

Taliban leaders who were "very interested in watching" the US presidential debate took in the proceedings from a secret location. And it didn't take them long to decide that one candidate was something of a joke.

"Trump ... (says) anything that comes to his tongue," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told NBC News. &quot He is) non-serious.

He said the militant group's leadership had hoped that Afghanistan would feature more prominently in the discussion.

"There nothing of interest to us in the debate as both of them said little about Afghanistan and their future plans for the country," he said.
