Guess who signed the bill to tear down regulations on media companies that made such awful, blatant dishonesty more difficult?
This belongs in leopards in eating faces.

Oh, so you’re gonna give a call to action then? Maybe designate a day for a national strike? Call out individuals most responsible and push for their impeachment? Call for boycotts of companies? Anything like that?
No? Just general words and a subtle wish that things will magically get better?
Ok, thanks Billy.
Can’t be a day, any protest has to last until the desired change happens otherwise it’s a party.
Clinton is problematic as fuck, but holy shit the difference between reading this and the “your mom” outrageously stupid sounding bullshit the current admin puts out is so remarkable. I do so miss having smart people at the top. Say what you want about Clinton and Obama, at least both were wicked smart and able to communicate well.
Clinton being all over the Epstein Files really undercuts any decorum hes got.
Idgaf how well he spoke if he was abusing underage girls.
well, he’s being compared to someone who was also abusing underage girls.
This timeline is fucked
He’s called for all the files to be released, fwiw
“Communication” isn’t something to value itself when its being used to whitewash atrocities.
Deregulation champ weary about lack or regulation.
Not sure what it is like in other countries, but you should know that it is extremely RARE in US politics for a former president to speak out against the current president. Even rarer to issue a formal statement.
It was also rare for the current president to bitch about past presidents. Or sell cars, phones, etc.
“I love tessler!”
At least in my lifetime, every president has commented critically about the previous administration.
You’re absolutely right that US presidents have historically not used their position for personal profit, or at least not overtly so. Jimmy Carter famously sold his potato farm upon being elected in order to avoid potential conflict of interest.
Oh, sorry, I might not have been aware of much of the smaller things (I’m not from them USA parts) - but I was trying to make the distinction between ‘polite criticism for distancing themselves from the previous admin’ (something all politicians do on all political levels, even in cases of direct policy/friendship/spiritual succession, even in companies actually, it enables the new admin to be their own distinct thing & get traction among the people & coworkers sooner) & just bitching for the sake of it, calling names etc.
Also wasn’t it a peanut farm?
Yes! I meant to say peanut lol. Had to go back and see what the heck I typed.
Yeah, that’s cute. We’re a little past the point where the ruffling of the ruling class’ powdered wigs impresses anyone.
Not sure the little kids screaming for their parents care.
I don’t think folks getting their faces kicked and scraped against the pavement care.
Side note: this being a rarity is probably a net good thing. History shows that when the old guy and the new guy fight, it doesn’t bring unity or peaceful transfers of power which are arguably more important than the bad one getting whatever they deserve.
Trump is never mentioned in his letter.
Oh wow! So brave!
Words are great and all, but please put your money where your mouth is, Bill.
You don’t have to go Unabomber but funding has impact, too. If anything, it’s the only language besides violence that works here.
No no. Other people pay politicians to have opinions, silly. They don’t fund political movements, they use them to gain leverage in elections. Duh /s
And then Trump read the message and was like “dude, I have to be good now!”…
Is that all they do in the opposition? Writing letters? No wonder you guys are all going to hell.
Except, you helped significantly get us here, Bill.
You and you shitty fucking wife, not only moved the Overton Window MUCH further right with your presidency, but you and your wife forced themselves upon Dem voters in 2016 regardless of the fact you were and are both insanely unpopular with the voter base.
You’re an asshole. Hillary is an asshole. You both enabled this shit, and should be held accountable too.
… and the statement is typical of the milquetoast “strongly worded letter” response that made Democrats into the weak hand they are now
Well that’s a revisionist republican take. Dude balanced the budget. Hillary’s primary was fair, Bernie was never popular with registered Democrats, he was never going to win and anybody not buying republican bullshit was well aware of it. If anything Clinton pulled the window left before 9/11 and revenge of the Bush put the final nails in the coffin.
There’s too much to explain how fucking awful bill Clinton is and how hard he fucked us from NAFTA to the crime bill and so much in between. So laugh your ass off to this and see you in a few hours.
Also the Democratic supermajority killing Bernie when he was winning the vast majority of popular votes of the Democratic primary made it clear to many that the Democratic party isn’t ever going to work in their interest or budge a fraction left of enabling conservatives. There’s just zero evidence that he wasn’t going to win, but there was plenty that Hillary was much less popular.
Jesus Christ some jackasses podcast isn’t a source. This dumb fuckery is why Americans deserve what we’re getting, we’re a bunch of belligerent dumb fucks listening to other dumb fucks like they know shit. Bernie got barely half the primary votes that Hillary got. It wasn’t even close. Bernie was popular with progressives who didn’t register Dem or vote in the primary. Y’all are too stupid to understand first past the post or the spoiler effect or the way the two party system means you have to vote for the lesser of two evils or you are explicitly condoning the greater evil. If you wanted Bernie you all should have registered Dem and voted for him in the primary but you didn’t, nevermind that Bernie isn’t even a fucking Dem and the idea he’d get the party nom was ridiculous from the get go. Fucks sake the Bernie bullshit is literally Russian propaganda and I’m tired of hearing idiots repeat it.
You don’t deserve the down votes for stating uncomfortable truths. The DNC was NEVER going to give Bernie the nomination, for the simple reason that he’s not a Democrat.
I understand the criticism of Clinton. I would also appreciate it more if people from ALL parties, especially the GOP would step up for basic human rights and if they would write such letters
We now live in a world where Slick Willy is a voice of reason.
We already lived in a world where Dan Quayle saved Democracy, at least for a few years
Do you mean caused the defeat and put curious George in the whitehouse? That shite family was the worst for your country and helped get you where you are today.
No. I mean calmly explained to Pence that there was no way to legally justify doing what Trump wanted him to.
Hadn’t heard that connection. Thanks.
Oof.
Potatoe
And we look back at the ‘nucular’ brockly puking right wing warmonger who wasn’t trying to kill our own civilians with only moderate disgust.
He had to release as statement because he’s the embassador of Epstein Island, Trump’s former position.
Bill Clinton tweet: Everything Slick Willy should say
Angry Leftists: Bah! You suuuuuck! Fuck you Clinton! BlAARghh! DEAaaaaaTH! Deth to ALL!1
Me: Huh.
It’s a nice tweet and I agree with it but I’d rather he was testifying about what he did on Epstein’s island
My prediction of his testimony of Epstein Island: “I saw, but I didn’t partake.”
Well his definition of having sex is when someone else finishes you. He doesn’t believe it’s sex if you finish yourself off. Nothing prior counts. So take that as you will.
I saw, but I didn’t partake
It’s either that or just go in chains, like all politicians he’s going to lie his ass off.
Still a nice letter he put out there telling us to protest, i agree with that.
I would like him to testify in front of competent people. I mean with the republican party questioning him do you really think they’re going to ask him anything interesting when so many many answers would likely be: “Hey I was there with half your political party, just ask the president and all your colleages who were there.” I do hope the contempt goes through because if it goes to an actual court you might get some names.
Just wait for the ‘contempt’ power play. If the House follows through, Clintons get discovery! Oops…
To make matters even worse, at every turn, the people in charge have lied to us, told us not to believe what we’ve seen with our own eyes, and pushed increasingly aggressive and antagonistic tactics, including impeding investigations by local authorities.
What actions of a lifetime are you (Bill, not OP) suggesting to stop ICE?
