LAS VEGAS >> Donald Trump’s labeling of Hillary Clinton as “such a nasty woman” during the final presidential debate has given a boost to Janet Jackson’s 1986 hit, “Nasty.”

Spotify says streams of “Nasty” are up 250 percent, though the company wouldn’t release specific numbers. Some Twitter users are having fun with the comment Trump made Wednesday night.

Some Twitter users are having fun with the comment. One video being shared features Jackson’s video for the song with Clinton’s face crudely pasted over top of the singer’s. It references the song’s lyrics with the note, “It’s Hillary. Madame President If You’re Nasty.”

So far, Jackson hasn’t weighed in on the 30-year-old song’s sudden injection into the presidential race.

    meanwhile, the female felon leaked more classified information when she revealed that there is a four minute lag between the presidential authorization and the launch of the first nuclear missiles. must be nice not to care about keeping secrets.

      I think we ought to prosecute Peter Sellers and Stanley Kubrick for releasing classified information about the steps in the deliberative process for deploying nuclear weapons in Dr. Strangelove. Oh wait, they’re both deceased. Is there really anybody in the world who doesn’t know that there’s a few minutes between go-code authorization and launch and does it make any difference at all?

        Did you see the disclaimer before that film? The US Army assured the viewer that nothing like what happens in the movie could ever, ever, happen in real life…

    Cool. Bruddah is stimulating the economy and helping a long time performing artist share her music with new generations.

    Wish the media would spend less time on BS “fluff” stories and more time sharing facts. Tell the people how many laws Clinton broke while working as Secretary of State. Not to mention all of the arm twisting she did to get various people to donate to the foundation, which in turn illegally funnels money to her campaign.

    • CEI says:

      IRT HRS134: The media has to fill the holes with something. It is strictly forbidden to speak of the many misdeeds and screw-ups of Waldo Clinton and Barry Hussein for that matter. The Clinton News Network foot soldiers even speak in threatening tones about viewing Wikileaks documents unfavorable to Waldo. Instead the various cowardly “news” outlets spend days on Trump’s locker room talk.

  3. CEI says:

    Not many people know this but Trump was the lyricist for the Janet Jackson mega-hit. He’s going to make out like a bandit in royalties after this.

  4. Ikefromeli says:

    Thanks to big shifts in several key races, Democrats now have a 73 percent chance of winning the Senate, according to the FiveThirtyEight polls-plus forecast, and a 72 percent chance according to polls-only. Both those numbers are up by more than 15 percentage points from last week, when the polls-plus model gave them a 56 percent chance and the polls-only model 54 percent. 538

    Cricket crew……buahahahahahahah.

      ‘We are seeking a substantial number of employees to elect this benefit, but we reserve the right to reject a volunteer based on business considerations,’ editor-in-chief Gerard Baker informs the newsroom

      Earlier this week, the Independent Association of Publishers’ Employees told employees of The Wall Street Journal in a memo that there would be bad news coming. “Management, we were told, is looking at the company’s cost base, the business as a whole and how it can proceed in the current business environment.”

      wsj-10-20-225Today, the publisher let the staff know the details of that bad news. They are seeking buyouts as a way of limiting the number of layoffs they will eventually announce.

      “In order to limit the number of involuntary layoffs, we will be offering all news employees around the world – management and non-management – the option to elect to take an enhanced voluntary severance benefit.” Gerard Baker, editor-in-chief, said in the memo.

      “We are seeking a substantial number of employees to elect this benefit, but we reserve the right to reject a volunteer based on business considerations. Employees will be required to sign a separation agreement and release of claims in a form provided by the Company in exchange for the accompanying severance benefits.”

      The news comes, as it often does, just before a company is to report earnings. In this case, News Corp, which owns Dow Jones, which publishes the WSJ, reports on Monday, November 7. Sadly, companies like to have these staff cutbacks already out there so as to be able to tell investors that the company is already cutting costs in order to lessen any bad news contained in the earnings report.

      The culprit here is declining print advertising. GroupM, the ad-buying unit owned by WPP, said it expected print advertising in newspapers to decline 8.7 percent in 2016 – a reasonable forecast based on what we have seen from earnings reports through the first two quarters of the year.

      Print losses are not restricted to the US. Earlier this week, the Canadian newspaper publisher Postmedia Network reported a large loss, with total revenue falling over 13 percent, and print advertising revenue decreasing 21.3 percent. Digital revenue only increased by 0.8 percent in the quarter.
