      In all seriousness we need to just promote all the Dems wrongdoings, and push it hard. That way MAGA will be baying for blood and Trump is protecting the libs if he doesn’t release the files.

      This story needs to be upvoted and reposted everywhere. Because also, fuck Bill Clinton and anyone else who diddled kids. Idc who you are.

    This was reported by the WSJ a month ago.

    I guess we have the image now so we can verify WSJ’s reporting that Clinton’s handwriting is impossible to make out in parts?

    Why are people not understanding… this is the game, this is America… it’s not about the left or right… this is America.

    Stop pretending law or protests will change anything… citizens can’t even change this with guns… we gave them this power to own reality and bought into their manipulation. We handed them this at will.

    Shit half the people complaining about this called people and victims of the system mentally ill for years.

    Get right. Live for humanity over everything.

    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.

      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.

        Like giving us the sitting POTUS as a candidate in the first place? Worshipping at the altar of Kissenger and Nunn? Color revos? Or any number of things during her tenure as Secretary of State?

          Those are political things. Those are things she should have been voted out of power for, not locked up for.

          I was thinking more along the lines of the “helping cover up pedophilia and human trafficking” thing. That’s a crime worthy of prison time.

            She was voted out of power. And then we got Trump.

            I’m no fan of Clinton, but rather a million times her than Trump. But the US clearly needs better candidates.

              Certainly, she would have been a better president than Trump. But that’s damning with extremely faint praise. A rotten turnip would have been a better president than Trump.

              I’ve long tried to tell Americans that they need to spend their effort on the party primaries, that’s the last chance for actual options to be considered. Once you get to the election itself the only thing left to evaluate is “which is the lesser evil?”

                When the campaign started in 2015, I thought Clinton vs Bush would be the worst lineup ever. I had no idea then that an even worse one was possible.

                I don’t know how Americans always manage to get the worst possible candidates winning their primaries.

                Don’t worry, I want to go after the fascists. But I reject the assertion that making life worse for Americans is somehow more morally wrong than making life worse for Libyans. In fact, I will go so far as to say that if you are willing to hand wave away atrocities as “status quo shit” then it makes sense that fascism is where things end up.

      Right? The time when there might have been some kind of large amount of people wanting to cover for him was maybe…2 and half decades ago? The guy isn’t in power, no one cares enough for any of that…

      It’s mostly the butthurt cons that were spreading black helicopter nonsense and swapping copies of the Clinton Body Count over email back in the 90s that are still obsessed with Bill (and Hillary).

    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.

      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.

        The minority voices here are more important than you think. The hardcore MAGA base is not that big, and they need more mainstream conservatives to go along with it–the ones who say “I hate Trump, but Hillary/Biden/Kamala would be worse”. You start cleaving away pieces of MAGA, and it will fall apart as a political movement.

          I don’t know. With everything that was known about Trump from his entire history, first term, j6, and campaign ‘promises’, you’d think he wouldn’t have been electable, much less actually win. But here we are, with a complicit congress and enabling supreme court (maybe that’s the other way around), and the wholesale destruction of safety nets, regulatory bodies and systems.

      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.

    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.

      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.
