Not to get too tinfoil hatty, but I imagine this is a bluff. He can say let's do this in public because he's not in power. Trump/republicans can't really agree because then Bill will expose Trump. Bill gets to say I have nothing to hide and Trump can't make Bill actually testify publicly because then they would both be exposed. At any time, Bill could go to any journalist and explain everything. Its honestly pretty smart if you know that the republicans will never sell trump out, which is a pretty safe bet.

I respect it but if Bill Clinton isnt a pedophile nobody is.

Maybe he'll just say "I'm a pedophile and so are these people." Which would be the coolest thing a pedophile can do.

Either way it's a weird move.

If Bill Clinton isn't a pedophile then the current sitting president still is and has been, publicly, for decades. Who's upvoting this bullshit?

[-] Knightfox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

What makes you say that? I'm 100% in agreement that he's probably a sexual deviant, not meant as a bad thing but rather than just being a missionary only puritan, but I never got the impression he was a pedophile.

previous commenter is probably either a bot or has shit for brains and is whatabouting.

Second coolest thing he could do live on camera if he's a pedophile. Number one is this

Can the Clintons not simply make a public statement on YouTube / Twitter?

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 hour ago

It's a matter of getting everything out in the open. You know the r's wouldn't talk about Clinton revealing anything about trump, or anyone they're covering for, if it was behind closed doors.

First of all, it's not only the American people. Several peoples deserve answers, I'd say many, considering the influence of countries like the USA and the UK, and known victims from over the world.

Second, fuck Bubba. He does not need a political scenery to spell what he knows. Any respectable journalist would do, if he is so inclined to reveal the truth as he knows it.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 hours ago

And you trust with the government to decide what happens behind this closed doors?

[-] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Of course not, but it's not an isolated discourse. There are already tons of evidence and testimonies out there.

I'm so excited to hear lies in front of Congress with no repercussions

What is there to lie about really. When a 79 year old man is asked a question and he responds, "I don't know or don't remember" there is little reason it shouldn't be believed. There is a reason that air traffic controllers are forced into retirement at ~56, because studies found people's mental acquity starts declining rapidly and they can't be found reliable for important roles. This guy hasn't held office in 25 years now, it would be hard to find anything you can guarantee he remembers accurately during his time in office without having to review documentation and fill in gaps and let his brain believe it remembers.

It's the whole thing about a person will run a red light, remember it being green, witness says it was green, video feed shows it was clearly red. And that testimony happens within minutes to months. Witness testimony isn't worth much, let alone years later.

Kind of like when Trump did a testimony back in 2019, like all of his responses were "I don't recall"

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 6 points 4 hours ago

It depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

[-] boaratio@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I'll never forget that testimony from slick Willie.

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 8 points 6 hours ago

They really believe that the public will believes their excuses

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

People still defend him lying under oath because "just a blowjob"

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 hours ago

About 1/3 will believe whatever they're told as long as that person shows they're on the "right" team first.

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

another 1/3 will believe what they see online as long as it is repeated confidently and by enough people. A couple studies show this pretty well. The best way to change that 1/3 of peoples opinions who are not die hards is to show that you're strong by being unmovable and by reading the same opinion over and over and over again. It rewires the brain.

Which is good because the left has a very strong presence on social media and they actively contest this government by challenge it in the space that the government puts all it's eggs in. Because if your enemy is putting all this effort into an area, it would be dumb to let them set up in that area. You'd have to be dumb as shit to just concede that area because it's "too hard to deal with"

comey wants a closed door so they can manipulate what is sad to FOX.

"yes, Trump did suck my dick. Only once, and it wasn't great, but it did happen. I am ashamed but am willing to state the actual facts above all."

[-] Oak_Kitten@slrpnk.net 13 points 5 hours ago

What a dilemma. I want to upvote this comment but it’s at 69 upvotes right now and I don’t have the heart to ruin it.
