Has anyone articulated a reason I'm supposed to care about the Stormy Daniels story yet?

Honestly. It just smacks of a lot of people pretending to care because they think it's some gotcha from 1992 politics.

Meh.

Yes, I agree: Bill Clinton is a bad person. What’s your stupid point?

My point is this is silly to get upset over. Your moral superiority and pearl clutching is noted.

Bill was married to Hildawg

Stormy >>> Anything Clinton fricked

Another dem making homophobic statements as an insult. Sad.

Do you need a safe space, snowflake?

See how this game is played?

Here’s my response: frick you. If you think that Bill Clinton is an acceptable standard for the morality of our Commander in Chief, then we’re simply fricked as a country. You can not let Bill Clinton, a pathological liar, almost certainly a rapist, and a minor war criminal be the standard that is the passing bar as a President. It will continue to be lowered and lowered until we go from metaphorically throwing shite at each other to literally throwing shite at each other.

Excusing Trump saying that Clinton did it is simply a celebration of the moral decay in our society. I instead choose to hold up modern Presidents to the standards set by Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower, two fantastic Presidents both policy and morally speaking that were back to back. I refuse to accept the standard that a rapist has set, and go frick yourself for saying I should.

Why are we worried about Bill Clinton here? It's 2018

Well, as you pointed out, Clinton did a LOT more than just frick some chick on the side.

Here's where you run off the rails.

You have literally ZERO of knowing that's true. Were you their friends? Neighbors? Kids? Cause otherwise, all you know about public people is what comes out.

That's why running around acting like you seek out paragons of virtue in politics is silly.

You can know only 4 things for sure about a politician.

1. What they say they stand for.

2. What they do politically in terms of voting on issues.

3. How well the first one lines up with the second one.

4. How well the above 3 line up with what you want.

Everything else is bull shite projection hope and prayer and irrelevant to the task at hand.

Sounds the same as Bill and Monica.

The same?

Well for starters, Bill diddled a 20 year old WH intern while he was POTUS. It was sexual harassment at minimum according to the operating definition of workplace sexual harassment at the time.

Trump and Stormy Daniels, if it happened, took place 12 years ago while both were private citizens. No laws were broken. Both were consenting adults and private citizens. How is this the same?
