He has many flaws, but the dude sure has a silver tongue.

Had HP training in Peachtree Dunwoody 20 yrs ago with another reseller sales guy from Mississippi. His mom was in the band with Clinton in college. He fucked everyone and tries to fuck her, as the gentlemen told the story.

Isn't that like a family guy episode or something? I might be getting my cartoons wrong

[-] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

He has the big time rizz.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 51 points 2 months ago

Man, remember when getting a sneaky beej was the most shocking thing a president could do?

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

Remember the OUTRAGE the right exhibited?? I always knew they were full of shit and hitching their waggon to Trump proved it without the shadow of a doubt.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

it's still sexual harassment if not assault and what happened to Lewinsky at the time is a national disgrace. the republicans were faking outrage but on the other side there was none, and that's shameful too.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

Oh I think there was plenty of outrage from Hillary. He'd have felt that behind closed doors.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

If she'd opened that door, she might not have lost in 2016. Hard to respect the judgement of someone who was still married him after all that. Her loss was a perfect storm of a lot of factors, but I believe that was one of them.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The other thing they could have done is just be honest about their relationship . Their marriage is political and economic, and they may very well have great affection for each other - I don't know. But they clearly don't expect fidelity in their relationship, and if that's what works for them that's fine. Just be honest about it.

I have a lot more of a problem with Bill taking sexual advantage of a 22yo intern while he was President of the United States. That power imbalance makes consent nearly impossible, and I'm still mad at my fellow Dems for defending that.

He should have been impeached for that, not the trumped-up perjury bullshit.

We also would've had an incumbent President Gore going into 2000, which might have been nice.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Trump is way worse, and the "perjury trap" used with separate definitions of "sex" in the 2 investigations (Lewinsky and Jones) so Clinton couldn't answer the question without committing perjury was bullshit.

But in the post "me-too" era can my fellow Dems admit that the President of the United States getting a 22yo White House intern to give him a blowjob is beyond unacceptable. There's such a massive imbalance of power in that relationship that consent is really tricky.

[-] Reptorian@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

As a Dem, I'm going to say that I don't support what Bill Clinton did given their power level difference. But, I do acknowledge what Trump did was way worse, and I will always compare him negatively to whatever you come up with.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Lying about sex is a tradition that goes straight back to the Jefferson administration.

[-] zgasma@lemmy.sdf.org 51 points 2 months ago

If he really works on it, I bet he can stay younger than Trump for the rest of his life.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago

He looks so much younger/healthier than last time. I wonder if he had covid last dnc, because I remember him looking like SpongeBob with the suds.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He looked like death last time I saw a contemporary pic. He looks like a really healthy 78yo in that pic.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 months ago

4+ years more than most men

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Personally, I liked the joke about him talking about Hannibal Lector more.

[-] cupcakezealot 9 points 2 months ago
