If what can only be good news for us, Vanity Fair says that Donald Trump and Roger Ailes aren’t speaking.

The reason for the fallout depends on who you ask.

“Ailes’s camp said Ailes learned that Trump couldn’t focus—surprise, surprise—and that advising him was a waste of time,” Sherman said. “These debate prep sessions weren’t going anywhere.”

On the Trump side, Ellison said the story is different: “Even for the second debate, Ailes kept going off on tangents and talking about his war stories while he was supposed to be prepping Trump.”

Oh, they they both agree that the other one has too big an ego.  With any luck at all, they will explode and fly around the room backwards for hours blowing ego foam all over the room.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.

From the Las Vegas newspaper …

Don’t worry guys, once the election is in the bag, Obama is coming to get your guns.

And you can buy it on Ebay.

Journalist Jemima Goldsmith debuted the costume at the Unicef UK Halloween Ball and is now selling it on eBay.

Goldsmith told The Huffington Post she chose to wear the costume for the Halloween fete because “Donald Trump seems to be the ultimate horror.”

“I generally steer clear of politics when supporting UNICEF as they try to remain apolitical as an organization,” she told us. “But given that Donald’s views on refugees and the World’s needy are the antithesis of charitable, I made an exception this year.”

Tasteless and wonderful – my favorite combination!

Thanks to Epp for the heads up.

It’s hard to decide if tonight’s debate is dueling guest or a debate.

Hillary is bringing Mark Cuban and Meg Whitman.

Trump is countering with Obama’s half-brother and a ghost from Clinton’s past: Patricia Smith, the mother of Benghazi victim Sean Smith, who has accused the former secretary of state of “murdering” her son.

I have wondered why Trump felt it was necessary to publicly attack Khizr Khan when Democrats did not say a word about Patricia’s Smith carefully worded and painful speech at the GOP convention, when even the man who wrote her speech is now voting for Hillary.

Look, my heart goes out to Patricia Smith and if believing that Hillary Clinton murdered her son makes his death easier for her, then so be it.  She has the right to grieve in any way that helps her.  Democrats instinctually know that and said nothing negative about Smith.  Trump is incapable of feeling compassion so Khan was a handy target for him.

I am sadly sure that tonight’s debate will not accomplish anything worthwhile.

But, Honey, did you see Barack Obama’s boo last night?

Darlin’, that’s some powerful dress wearing.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is a stoopid sumbitch.

He’s whining about “rampant” voter fraud and election rigging in Texas.

Open your damn eyes, Abbott.  Texas Republicans own all statewide offices, the Governor’s mansion, all the Courts of Appeal, the State House and the State Senate.  So, paint this on the barn in waterproof paint: If there’s fraud going on, you’re the one doing it.

Holy cow.  Come on, man.  How ignorant can you be?

The only election fraud going on in Texas is the wild butt gerrymandering, and, dammit, you built that.

You know, Texas Republicans did not say one word about rigged elections until it began to look like Texas is flipping.
