Edit: A few comments mention the power imbalance between Lewinsky as an intern and the president. This meme shouldn't be seen as me approving of Clinton's behavior but point out that an adult man having "sexual relations" with a child should have some bearing against a sitting president.
If Clinton is in the Epstein files, show the world.
The current sitting executive officer of the USA is literally a scammer, rapist pedophile . I think the bar has been lowered so far that Clinton looks like a respectable adult in comparison.
But he's not and we shouldn't accept that
Unless you were there to bear witness. How do we know that Monica wasn't the aggressor ? The power dynamics implies that he was in the wrong? I'm no conspiracy theorist, yet i have to question her bank account, especially after the Panama papers leak.
Edit: honestly..I don't care who is in the Epstein island files.. the politics stops there.. anyone who participated isn't left or right wing, they're all criminals
Yes, because of the power dynamic. Also, Monica wasn't Bill's only victim.
Serial killers and mass murderers have victims. Cite your proof, else it's another Clinton conspiracy and you speaking from your cloaca.
Sexual assaulters also have victims.
I dont have proof of anything. But personally I am convinced that women like Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broaddrick had legitimate complaints against him, considering how easy he showed he can lie about such things (like when he denied anything with Monica and then admitted it later).
I also believe the whole impeachment of Clinton was a political hitjob by the right, but I dont excuse assault because of that.
The existence of worse doesn't make bad any better.
Is that a quote? If not, I'm going to use ~ryathal when I use it
The bar to 'decent' doesn't actually lower.
Donald Trump is just orders of magnitude further below the bar than Bill Clinton, but the bar is in the same spot.
I was thinking about this recently as I learned that a couple of public figures engaged in extramarital affairs, and I just wasn't getting outraged because they were engaging with consenting adults. I should be upset about it but at this point so many prominent people have been getting in trouble for severe abuse of power, rape and pedophilia that I'm too jaded to get upset over someone I don't know cheating on their partner.
