pushing Clinton under the bus for the better good, as they should
Wrong link?
I don't remember seeing Clinton mentioned. The article is more about Schumer trying to use a law that should (the precedence of it being used and it working is very light) let the house oversight committee force the release of the Epstein case if at least 5 members request.
As others have said, this is about the bigger picture. If Clinton was involved with the Epstein Child-Fucking ring, he should go down. Anyone who has been part of the Epstein Child-Fucking ring should go down, honestly. I think that's the one thing we and Conservatives can agree on. Child Fuckers are bad. Problem is: It's super-easy to categorise the Other Side as childfuckers while ignoring the childfuckers on our own side. expatriado was just making it clear that they are OK with Clinton (and presumably other Left-leaning childfuckers) being caught up in this if we get all the Republicans involved in this shit as well.
Not that I expect we will. The Epstein Files will be curated so they only hit Dems as long as the Shitgibbon is in charge.
no. if there is irrefutable proof trump is a child fucker, the rightwingers will just switch to the stance of "child fucking isn't that bad".
hell they've even elected literal known child fuckers in several red states as senators and congressmen. to them child fucking is only bad when they can accuse democrats of it. the fact that they keep trying to lower the age of consent should be proof enough of this. conservatives are not your allies homes.
Or... "He was only having sex with young women, not boys. 16 is still legal in some states. 14 is still legal in some countries. He was just confused on how the laws applied on a private island."
I hate how plausible this is.
No, OP refers to Bill Clinton allegedly having been an Epstein client.
They can throw people who aren't vulnerable minorities under there?
It's very rare but not unheard of.
Republicans routinely throw each other under there to slow it from hitting them
