Update: Hilary Clinton Regrets Saying That Trump Supporters Belong In A “Basket Of Deplorables”

SMH… Hilary Clinton Apologizes For Trump Supporter Comments Remember when we told you that Hilary Clinton went IN on Trump supporters and said that half of them “belong in a basket of deplorables” ??? ‘To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the ‘basket of deplorables,” Clinton said. ‘Unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.’ Well the Presidential candidate is backing away from her comments. CNN reports: Hillary Clinton expressed “regret” Saturday for comments in which she said “half” of Donald Trump’s supporters are “deplorables,” meaning people who are racist, sexist, homophobic or xenophobic. “Last night I was ‘grossly generalistic,’ and that’s never a good idea. I regret saying ‘half’ — that was wrong,” Clinton said in a statement in which she also vowed to call out “bigotry” in Trump’s campaign. The Democratic presidential nominee sparked an uproar late Friday when she described Trump’s supporters at a fundraiser. “To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” Clinton said. “Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.” She added, “And unfortunately, there are people like that and he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric.” Clinton then said some of these people were “irredeemable” and “not America.” She described the rest of his supporters as people who are looking for change in any form because of economic anxiety and urged her supporters to empathize with them. Say it with your chess, Hil! Her apology makes sense considering how sensitive folks are these days, but she definitely wasn’t wrong!

Traveled To A Destination With Zika? Guess How Long You Have To Wait To Have Sex Now!

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently reviewed their suggested guidelines on the sexual activity for those who travel to or from areas where the Zika virus is prevalent and came up with a new recommendation. WHO now advises travelers to be abstinent or have protected sex for at least six months after they return to the United States. This advisement was updated after WHO learned the virus can live in sperm for up to the same about of time. Initially, the organization suggested people abstain from sex for eight weeks, prior to learning that the virus can remain dormant in the human body without any signs or symptoms along with the possibility of infants being born with birth defects… [ MadameNoire ] This Is Where Your Luggage Goes When You Don’t Claim It Have you ever wondered where your lost luggage goes when you don’t collect it? Well, it makes a trip down south to Scottsboro, Alabama, where the ultimate thrift store known as the Unclaimed Baggage Center (UBC) is stationed, selling lost and found items from airlines. Doyle Owens established the store in 1970 when he decided to purchase unclaimed bags from the local bus station, reports The Thrillist. After selling lost items a few days a week, Owens decided to expand the business to airline companies, and since then the store has expanded to more than 40,000 square feet over the past 46 years. But before you think employees at the bus or airline companies are stealing your personal belongings for Owens to sell, think again… [ MadameNoire ] Dr. Dre Is The Top Hip-Hop Earner Of The Last Ten Years Dr. Dre is richer than your favorite rapper. According to Forbes, the OG “n*gga with attitude” has raked in $923 million over the last ten years. Forbes has been reporting on finance [i.e. “pocket watching”] for decades and they have had their sights on Hip-Hop for the last ten years. According to their research, Jay Z, Diddy and Dr. Dre were the top earners on their first ever Hip-Hop Cash Kings list in 2007. A decade later, those three names are still at the top of the list, but not in that order. Per Forbes: The highest-earning hip-hop act of the last decade: Dr. Dre. He accounted for one fifth of that cumulative total, banking $923 million pretax–and more than any other rap star–thanks largely to Apple $3 billion Beats buyout in 2014.

Skinfolk Ain’t Kinfolk: Latino Donald Trump Supporter Doesn’t Want ‘Taco Trucks On Every Corner’

Latinos for Trump founder @MarcoGutierrez : “you're gonna have taco trucks on every corner” #inners https://t.co/Vifo3q7Ah8 — All In w/Chris Hayes (@allinwithchris) September 2, 2016 Latino Trump Supporter Defends Donald Trump’s Position On Immigration It’s crazy what self-hate can do. Marco Gutierrez , the founder of “Latinos For Trump,” made some eye-poppingly ridiculous comments on MSNBC earlier tonight. Guitterrez, after Trump’s visit to Mexico, said his “people” were “dominant” and that if America didn’t keep them out there’d be “taco trucks on every corner.” Trump and Mexico haven’t been on the best of terms since he insisted that the Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto would pay for the wall to keep the “illegals” out. Nieto said in response that he “wasn’t going to build that f****** wall” via Complex GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s much-talked about visit to Mexico on Wednesday and his speech on U.S. immigration that followed apparently left out one important consequence should immigration continue: an invasion of taco trucks. Latinos for Trump founder Marco Gutierrez warned about the impending doom of “taco trucks on every corner.” But what about Trump-approved taco bowls? Marco Gutierrez, who it should be noted is Mexican himself, made the remark on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes” Thursday. “My culture is a very dominant culture,” Gutierrez said. “It’s imposing and it’s causing problems. If you don’t do something about it you’re gonna [sic] have taco trucks [on] every corner.” Trump, who has a documented history with Mexico, including calling Mexican immigrants to the U.S. “rapists” and “drug dealers,” visited the country yesterday. His trip was made possible after being invited by Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto. Trump’s trip was highlighted by the trending Twitter hashtag #TrumpMexicoTripSayings. After saying he’d be open to a “softer” immigration policy, despite previously promising a policy as impenetrable as the proposed border wall, Trump said he’d create an immigration task force in a speech yesterday. Trump also reiterated plans for the wall he plans on building, but that Mexico will reportedly pay for.  But just hours prior to Trump’s statement, Peña Nieto publicly said that wouldn’t be happening. Taco trucks on every corner sounds like heaven. Who doesn’t like tacos?

Hope Solo: Suspended By U.S. Women’s Soccer!

Soccer star Hope Solo has been suspended from the U.S. Women’s National Team for six months, the organization announced on Wednesday. The athlete will be ineligible to compete until February . Here disciplinary action comes after the goalkeeper, who helped Team USA to gold in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, lashed out in Rio. Hope slammed the Swedish women’s soccer team after the U.S. was stunningly defeated and knocked out of medal contention early. Sunil Gulati, the president of the organization, criticized “the comments by Hope Solo after the match against Sweden at the 2016 Olympics.” Solo’s comments “were unacceptable and do not meet the standard of conduct we require from our National Team players,” Gulati said.  “Beyond the athletic arena and beyond the results” of the match, “the Olympics celebrate the ideals of fair play and respect.” The USWNT felt Solo didn’t live up to those ideals. “We expect all of our representatives to honor those principles,” Gulati said, explaining the suspension, “with no exceptions.” After the August 12 defeat, Solo said she thought the losing Team USA played a “courageous game,” while Sweden … did not. “I think we showed a lot of heart. We came back from a goal down. I’m very proud of this team,” the controversial star began. “But I also think we played a bunch of cowards,” she said. “The best team did not win today. I strongly believe that.” Obviously, her comments did not go over too well. Swedish coach Pia Sundhage, who previously coached Team USA to those two Olympic gold medals, blasted the goalie for her attitude.  “We won the game. They played more attacking football than we did. We defended very well,” Sundhage told  The Los Angeles Times .  “It’s OK to be a coward if you win.”  In response, Solo retweeted  Sports Illustrated ‘s full transcript of her much-discussed quote and admitted that she’s not the best loser. “Losing sucks. I’m really bad at it,” she wrote. Hope Solo Taunted by “ZIKA” Chants in Olympic Opener That wasn’t sufficient to avoid a suspension, but at least it was honest; Hope does not mince words, or hold back her actions. After posting photos that some felt were disrespectful about the host nation, Solo was taunted with “Zika” chants earlier in the games. This isn’t Solo’s first brush with trouble. In 2015, she was benched for 30 days for “an incident that occurred during the current WNT training camp” that was held in Carson, Calif. Allegedly, there was drunken driving of the team van  by her husband, who’s been by her side throughout a few of Solo’s lower points. Hope was arrested for domestic violence in 2014, and has been involved in some eyebrow-raising incidents with Jerramy Stevens (below):
