BREAKING: Second U.S. Presidential Debate Rescheduled For Midnight

IMG_6229.JPGWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – The Commission on Presidential Debates has announced a change of schedule for the second debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.  It was originally scheduled at 9 p.m. Eastern on Sunday night.

The debate in St. Louis, Missouri, will last 90 minutes and be conducted in a “town hall” format featuring questions from undecided voters, moderated by CNN’s Anderson Cooper and ABC’s Martha Raddatz.

The commission told The Adobo Chronicles that the debate will be moved out of prime time and rescheduled for midnight the same day.

The decision by the commission came after the explosive audio tape of Trump surfaced in which he bragged to TV host Billy Bush about kissing and groping women.  In that audio tape, Trump actually mentioned the word “p*ssy.”

Because the presidential debates are supposed to be rated G (for general audiences), the commission saw it fit to move it to midnight.  It said that the Trump audio is sure to be brought up by Clinton and it would be unwise to allow minors to be listening to an exchange where “p*ssy” would constantly be mentioned.

The commission advised parents to make sure that their children who are not yet of legal age be put to bed before the start of the midnight debate.

Donald Trump Calls Philippine President Duterte For Advice

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Minutes after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump posted a taped “apology” for what he said about women in 2005, he immediately called Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte for advice.

Trump’s apology stemmed from an explosive audio tape released yesterday in which he said he bragged to TV host Billy Bush that he would forcibly kiss and grope women.

His 15-minute phone conversation with the controversial Philippine president focused on how he could come out of this latest controversy and still gain the trust and approval of the American voters.

Duterte has become world-famous because of his colorful language, joking about rape and catcalling women reporters. The former Davao City mayor had also used cuss words which were supposedly directed at the pope, President Obama, the United Nations and the European Union (EU).

“How do you do it,” Trump reportedly asked Duterte, “and still have a 91% approval rating by the Filipino people?”

Reliable sources told The Adobo Chronicles that Duterte advised Trump that “words alone don’t matter, actions do.”

Despite his colorful language and controversial statements, Duterte has been credited for significant positive changes in the Philippines since he assumed the presidency 100 days ago today.

Where In The World Is Mike Pence?

IMG_6225.JPGINDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (The Adobo Chronicles, Chicago Bureau) – During last week’s vice presidential debate, Mike Pence repeatedly denied the many  controversial statements that his running mate D0nald Trump had said in the campaign trail.

“Nonsense,” “That’s not true,” the Indiana governor kept saying as his Democratic opponent recited a litany of Trumpisms directed against Mexicans, Muslims, women and the disabled.

Today, however, the Republican vice presidential candidate could no longer defend his boss after an explosive audio surfaced in which Trump talked about forcibly kissing and groping women.

Pence hurriedly left an event he attended, ignoring questions from his own press pool. He has not been seen since.

Rumors have it that he had checked into a private clinic to consult with his mental health provider to help him deal with this latest Trump fiasco.  Others have reported seeing him enter a convent in Indianapolis, presumably to immerse himself in prayer and meditation.  Still, many are speculating that he has convened his closest advisers at an undisclosed location to decide whether or not he should withdraw from being Trump’s VP running mate.

Stay tuned to The Adobo Chronicles as we follow Pence’s trail and hopefully get an official statement from the man himself.
