DONALD TRUMP SAVAGED US media last night for reporting “outright lies” that he groped and forcibly kissed women.
The New York mogul came from a “swamp of crazy” that Republicans had cultivated over decades, US President Barack Obama told a Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire.
It’s a state where Trump has long held a lead but where a poll on Thursday edged Clinton ahead.
Obama’s comments followed on from a fiery speech from his wife Michelle in which the First Lady attacked Trump following multiple allegations of sexual assault.
But the 70-year-old Trump was defiant, castigating his accusers as “horrible liars” and accusing Clinton of conspiring in a coordinated media attempt to sabotage his campaign.
At least six women have accused Trump of making unwanted physical advances in accounts reported by The New York Times, NBC, People Magazine and others, most of them after Trump asserted in Sunday’s debate with Clinton that he had never sexually assaulted a woman.
With his campaign in free-fall and sliding in the polls, Trump pounded the battleground states of Florida and Ohio, denying the alleged incidents occurred and turning the guns on his opponent.
“These vicious claims about me of inappropriate conduct with women are totally and absolutely false,” Trump told a rally in West Palm Beach.
“They’re outright lies.” The attacks, he added, “are orchestrated by the Clintons and their media allies.”
Trump said his lawyers were preparing a lawsuit against The New York Times — which published the accounts of two women who accused him of groping and kissing them — unless the paper retracts the article.
‘Disgraceful, intolerable’
The Times refused to back down following the legal letter.
“We published newsworthy information about a subject of deep public concern,” the paper’s assistant general counsel David McCraw wrote in a letter to Trump’s lawyers.
The women’s accusations surfaced after a video emerged of Trump boasting in 2005 of groping women with impunity because he was famous, sending the White House race into unprecedented levels of vulgarity.
He apologised and, trying to stem his bleeding in the national polls to the 68-year-old Clinton, downplayed the comments as “locker room talk”
In an evening rally in Cincinnati, Trump sought to get back on message, blasting Clinton as “corrupt” and repeating his pledge to hire a special prosecutor to investigate her email scandal
“She should be locked up,” he told a rally of thousands.
She doesn’t have the strength, she doesn’t have the aptitude, she doesn’t have what it takes.
In a sinister note, he charged that Clinton met “in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of US sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers.”
The former secretary of state, visiting a campaign field office in San Francisco, briefly addressed the ugliness of the presidential race.
“We cannot let this pessimism, this dark and divisive and dangerous vision of America, take hold in anybody’s heart,” she said. “There’s hardly any part of America that he’s not targeted.”

Its all about getting people hooked into one of the most intrusive operating systems that ever came out of Microsoft and it certainly ties in with TTIP and the recently passed CISA Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act.
There is no such thing as a free lunch and more so from Bill Gates.
Microsoft are really pushing this. Annoying pop ups throughout the day offering free ‘upgrade’.
Anyone I’ve spoken to about Windows 10 tell me ‘don’t get it – it’s crap’.
Makes me suspicious when something is promoted to such an extent.
Time will tell.
I have it and I find it completely fine. there are some privacy steps that are easily applied and after that I’m completely comfortable with it.
Not crap but far from perfect yet. Using it daily for work and is mainly fine. Some extremely basic issues such as sees an SD card, asks if you want to import photos, say yes and it asks from where as Photos can’t see it. You can still copy and paste them but it’s very strange. HyperV services need restarting every morning after a clean reboot. These are minor and I am sure will get resolved soon enough.
Microsoft needs to get people off old versions as otherwise advertising all manner of security enhancements and features is pointless when all versions are lumped under the same title of Windows and they get slagged every time someone finds some issue in XP etc
Tommy , you can turn off the reminder pop-ups by uninstalling update # KB3035583.
My son upgraded my Windows 7 to 10 on the laptop (admittedly about 3 years old) and managed to delete the roll back option too. It was so slow I gave up and wiped it and put Linux on. Much faster and seemingly more stable too.
Well i love Windows 10, I’ve used all versions, if you are unhappy with he data they take here are a few solutions. http://bgr.com/2015/08/14/windows-10-spying-prevention-privacy-tools/
What ever you can do about stopping Microsoft from spying on you, Google already knows unless you change your browser.
There some serious bugs still. One is the “Fatal_power_error” which crashes systems. Apparently a hibernation issue that kicks in.
Installed it but forced to go back to Win7 on a dual boot as default system.
Hopefully the expected November major update can help resolve some of these issues.
Wins 10 does still have some issues that need to be addressed, normal or new users will or may find it difficult to navigate around. As for the upgrades for users that have older PC’s/Laptops they may have issues finding drivers that support Wins 10, so sound cards, VGA drivers etc are but just 2.
For these users if they have wins 7 are are looking for the chance to try something new/stable and Free try Linux Mint http://www.linuxmint.com/start/rafaela/ this has a wins feel about it and the user does not have to be totally savvy to use it.
This distro (linux Mint) allows to create a dual boot when installing it so you can still have your wins 7 and you can choose which operating system (OS) you wish to boot into at startup.
It installs almost all the drivers required on both new and older machines, installing software is very easy and best of all 99% of the software is Free.
There always a Linux troll lurking around.
It is so slow with Chrome or Mozilla and I am certain that is deliberate to make you use the Windows search engine. I could not accept that on rain opal, but hey, who am I , you are very odd these days if you are a sheep !
it also can ruin your hard drive when downloaded. mine corrupted within hours after installing, almost €200 for a new one
Still awaiting it even though I requested it back in July!!
have your say
