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.

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 94 points 4 days ago (29 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.

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 76 points 4 days ago (1 children)

now we get to watch the conservatives squirm.

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?

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.

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.

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).

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago (5 children)

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.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Put him in a cell with Trump. Fuck em all

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.

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.

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.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 days ago

Burn them all at the stake

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

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.

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.

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'

From report on birthday book tributes, compare

tributes to lechery

One friend compared him to the main character in Ernest Hemingway’s “The Old Man and the Sea,” except instead of fish, Jeffrey Epstein caught women, “blonde, red or brunette.”

“So many girls, so little time,” wrote a third associate of Mr. Epstein.

the book contained everything from a handwritten letter from Mr. Epstein’s mother, to photos of scantily clad young women, to a cartoon drawing of Mr. Epstein lying in a beach chair getting what appears to be a nude massage from four topless women.

Most notably, the book contains the now well-publicized poem to Mr. Epstein that bears Donald J. Trump’s name.

Elsewhere there is an oversized check that purports to be Mr. Epstein jokingly selling a “fully depreciated” woman to Mr. Trump for $22,500.

The venture capitalist William Elkus described how Mr. Epstein managed to conjure a beautiful woman out of thin air during a visit to a farm town in Iowa

Another person, named Leslie wrote, “I wanted to get you what you want,” so “here it is.” The brief, scrawled note is accompanied by a drawing of breasts. And another contributor, who said he “agonized long and hard about what to write,” added photos of zebras and lions having sex, adding that the images “seemed more appropriate than anything I could put in words.”

In one letter, a person who signed only “Nick,” recounted an evening in London that left Mr. Epstein “howling with laughter.” That night, the contributor said, an “old man smiling sweetly” pulled down a woman’s panties and put his hand on her privates, only to find another man’s hand already there. Another letter alludes to when Mr. Epstein, in the mid-1970s, first “discovered the Maxwell teen-age daughter.”

Another poem ends noting that somehow at age 50, Mr. Epstein “has avoided the penitentiary.”

and One submission attributed to former President Bill Clinton focused on what he described as Mr. Epstein’s “childlike curiosity” and his “drive to make a difference.”

Right, positive evidence of crime!

Anyone else annoyed these stories don't link to the book?

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.
