Frankly, I don't even think Hillary gives a shit about covering for Bill at this stage- The argument that anyone is trying to protect Bill is idiotic.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 91 points 21 hours ago (7 children)

And if she did give a shit about covering for Bill in the past and did anything to meaningfully do that, then by all means, lock her up too.

This shouldn't be political. I don't care if there was a stupid slogan for that chanted by idiots, a broken clock can be right sometimes.

I don't know if that was a marriage of convenience/business since the beginning, but it sure seems to have got there eventually.

Frankly I love this, because now we get to watch the conservatives squirm.

Is Bill Clinton a pedo for associating with Epstein? Or are they going to walk back all of their statements and say Clinton did nothing wrong writing a sex trafficker a birthday card?

All the Democrats I know are fine with locking him up if evidence against him surfaces, but boy howdy is it gonna do a number on the conservatives in my life.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 73 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

If they weren't shameless hypocrites, yeah. You really think they'll have any issue saying Clinton is a pedo for associating with Epstein, while in the same breath saying Trump did nothing wrong for that exact same thing?

Didn't you hear? He was an FBI informant.

They really aren't squirming. We have to stop letting the stupid algorithms and memes we subscribe to color our thinking about the reality of social divides.

The right broadly is happy as pigs in shit right now. They DO NOT CARE about Epstein or any of the other "scandals" broadly. They're just happy their angry, orange Jesus is making the nasty, nasty liberals and trans kids cry. They wanted all of this, they don't care about crime and law and consistency and leadership and the economy and policy. They just care about the narrative and the narrative they are hooked into right now is that the left broadly is screaming in rage and they LOVE IT.

There are some here and there who are really uncomfortable and it may be a wedge issue for them, but don't get fooled by amplified minority voices on any topic.

to them, trump can do no wrong, so anything he does gets excused. they'll happily tear down others for doing the same things that trump did. trump humpers don't operate on logic

Lock him up if there's enough evidence of a crime. After going after Trump. I don't care about party or celeb status if they did such things.

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 52 points 13 hours ago (5 children)

Bill Clinton was an FBI informant infiltrating the cabal of shadowy pedophiles. I will literally die for Bill Clinton. See source.

I don't care if the list has Karl Marx, Jesus and my dad on it.

Anyone on that list needs to be held accountable.

I hope your dad isn't on the list, he was a very gentle lover.

Plus, the guy was way wrapped up in financing stuff, which just attracts other money-grubbing people anyway. Same with Harvey Weinstein, where they use the money and cloud of flies buzzing around them as the cover if they get caught. They use the ones that didn't know about their crimes as protection. Fully disgusting, but such is the thrall of money I suppose.

[–] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 11 points 12 hours ago (7 children)

"Thrall of money" can be rearranged to spell "holy lemon fart".

Every now and then I see a phrase and wonder about anagrams. Really paid off this time.

The same release also includes confirmation of the Trump "wonderful secret" note that he claimed was a hoax, and is currently suing the WSJ for billions for reporting on.

Wonder if he'll withdraw the lawsuit, or whether the whole thing was just another "it's not a bribe, it's a settlement" scam.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 hours ago

Wonder if he'll withdraw the lawsuit

Doubt it.

He will toss out as many roadblocks for as long as possible to continue to threaten the WSJ and try and delay any further releases from them or any other media.

[–] CaptainBlinky@lemmy.myserv.one 34 points 22 hours ago

The new take: "Epstein was a popular rich guy, everyone knew him and wished him well! It doesn't mean they 'knew' him! Nobody knew what he and Ghislane were up to!"

But it doesn't matter. The oligarchs don't pay for their crimes. They don't even get charged. Do you want to see them pay? I hear there's a discount on pitchforks recently seeing as there's nobody to work the fields.

No oppressors ever walked away peacefully at the request of the oppressed. Just sayin'

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 31 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

And notice we're not frothing at the mouth falling all over each other to protect him. Throw his old ass in jail I don't care!

Life in prison is too good for pedos. They should be castrated and have their feet removed. Full stop.

Ok.

He's not president. And when he was our economy was stellar.

But put him in a cell too. I'm down with that. Because I'm not in his cult.

Clinton met with Netanyahu in the Oval Office in February 1997. Subsequently, according to testimony Lewinsky gave to the special counsel’s office, Clinton’s secretary Bettie Currie reached out to Lewinsky to invite her to an Oval Office meeting, telling her Clinton “had something important to tell her.”

It would turn out to be their final sexual encounter, but Clinton also used the opportunity to tell her that “a foreign embassy” had tapped his phone and recorded their conversation, Lewinsky said. Clinton did not specify which embassy, though the meeting with Lewinsky came the month after his meeting with Netanyahu.

This is the picture that Jeffrey Epstein had hanging in his house.

Everyone on that list, without exception, needs to be prosecuted. Former POTUS, current POTUS, Mr Rogers, Keanu Reeves, The Pope, Optimus Prime, idgaf who they are, if their name appears on the client list or the flight logs, throw the fucking book at them.

The good thing about both parties hating progressives is that no one circles the wagons to protect progressives.

Anthony Weiner was immediately persona non grata when his allegations came out.

Progressive perverts get no protection because both parties want them gone, so there's no backlog.

Meanwhile, republicans and centrists alike participated in a culture of protecting reprehensible predators in order to hold on to power that might otherwise be vested in people who give a shit about the poor.

There is some credit to be given in that no one seems to be circling the wagons for clinton now, but he's already served his purpose: 8 years of triangulating with the right.

Wonder how many centrists are sitting in awkward silence and how much of the "fine, lock clinton up too" sentiment is coming from progressives.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 18 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

It's a damn good thing Bill Clinton is no longer actively president, nor at risk of being elected again. Hence my focus on the elephant in the fucking room, so to speak.

(That said, I say hold each and every one of them accountable in front of a jury of their peers).

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 15 points 21 hours ago

This isn't surprising anyone.

What? No way. We should lock him up.

I might have felt better voting for Hillary if she dumped his ass when she should have.

Fuckin' great, lock his old ass up too.

Throwback, also, to the Lemmy fake-leftist who was pretending that back in the 1990s him and all his activist friends were super excited for Bill Clinton and all his leftist politics, and lecturing me about how far the Democratic Party has fallen since then. Fuckin' what lol. I was around for it, literally 0 of us were as excited about Bill Clinton and his balanced budget as this guy was pretending that him and all the left were back then.
