Clinton was impeached because he lied about a consensual blow job, yet this orange mf seems immune to consequences, more than that, actively shielded from them.
I mean Trump was impeached too. It’s just impeachment means nothing now.
Trump was impeached twice.
Thing is, the bar for impeachment is a majority vote in the House. That's just the formal accusation of wrongdoing. It doesn't do anything to the President on its own.
Then you move on to decide whether to convict. That's a two-thirds supermajority in the Senate, and we've never met that bar.
It's crazy that the people can't use impeachment to remove the president, but the president can unilaterally pardon unlimited crimes. One day in the future historians are going to be embarrassed for us.
Well, he can only pardon federal crimes, not state ones. For example, in Colorado he tried to pardon Tina Peters who was convicted of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election but his pardon is only symbolic and she remains in prison for her state crimes.
Trump then (because he's a little small bitch boy) is working to dismantle a really important climate science organization in Boulder, Colorado, as revenge. You know, because climate is a hoax and all.
Just DEI already
The regime is actively trying to expand the presidential pardon to cover state crimes as well.
Still need a willing earthworm, centipede and spider.
Clinton was impeached, not removed as well. Requires a supermajority of the senate. So same shit really
He promised a lot of people a lot of power and they now protect him. All of the people supporting him, especially his cabinet, needs to go down with him. No excuses.
I think he black mailed a lot of people. His promises are worthless
He was the president. Lewinsky was an intern. There's such an imbalance of power that consent shouldn't even enter the conversation.
Lewinsky almost cost him reelection, and arguably derailed the Democratic agenda that Clinton was selected by the American people to enact in his second term. Clinton could have cost her her career at most. From a national security perspective Lewinsky wielded and used power that changed the course of history in a way that few people have.
The national conversation in the early 90s about sexual harassment including the Clarence Thomas scandal with his assistant (forgot her name) was one of how sex could compromise powerful leaders (men generally) and it's worth considering whether Lewinsky was acting as an insider agent to compromise Clinton, perhaps as part of a nation state level attack on the integrity of of the office rather than it all simply being a man using the clout of his office unethically to have sex.
We don't know what is in Lewinsky's CIA file and it's entirely possible she was a Russian or other agent acting intentionally to cause chaos. Her family comes from a former Warsaw Pact country and she immediately fled the country to Canada to be on the Tom Green show after the scandal so it's plausible. We really don't know but the power imbalance may have been intentionally reversed in some ways. The Epstein files show Clinton to be easily compromised by young women so it would be an obvious avenue of attack by an adversary, and the scandal continues to have an effect on how we talk about power and sex to this day.
You're only supposed to wear the foil hat. Not inject it intravenously. Try again with your insanely misogynistic crackpot conspiracy theories.
I think it's more misogynist to assume the best of Lewinsky, like a woman can't be a powerful foreign agent that character assassinates a sitting president? Like, especially with what we're seeing of the Epstein disclosures, why is Lewinsky the only one of all the women that Bill apparently took advantage of that was able to have any effect on his career?
I’d be more inclined to give Lewinsky the benefit of the doubt if she hadn’t saved her Clinton-spermed dress? Did she want a memento?
I think she deliberately saved it at best for leverage, at worst for extortion. She’s wasn’t an innocent country girl.
