I want to yell at the tv when Clinton is listed among predators: He did not strong-arm Monika. That's why he didn't deserve impeachment.

That's why I never cared one wit about it. No victim.

Hey stupid ! Klinton was impeached for LYING UNDER OATH to Congress.

10. He should not have been impeached nor hounded by Republicans either.

**** Republicans. A political motivated house impeached Pres. Clinton...their fearless leader at the time was Gingrich who was screwing his own intern...so spare me the BS please. And Bill Clinton was acquitted in the Senate which means he was found 'not guilty' by the Senate...and the next election cost the GOP the House and Senate-Gingrich resigned...think about that all of you calling for the impeachment of Trump without the votes needed either for an impeachment or a conviction. But spare me the high minded BS. We are Democrats and should not engage in trashing our own even before we know what happened.

I believe the lying under oath for which Clinton was impeached was done in the Paula Jones trial rather than in testimony before Congress.

That said, :hammer:  :banghead: many DU-folk may never let go of the delusion that the impeachment was "all about sex". :banghead:  :hammer: Which means the 20-years-belated acknowledgements by Libs and Progs of the kind of sexual predator Bill Clinton was have got to be rather uncomfortable for at least some DU-folk.

Well, IIRC what I've read on it is that 16 was the age of consent there and then, so any actual sex with 16 and up by him was also 'Consensual and adult' in the eyes of the law, and anything that wasn't actually physical sexual contact wasn't a crime anyway.  Got anything else, DUmmies?

Yep. Just conveniently forget all the other rape/molestation victims of Bill.

The Left will venerate criminal corruption and even rape as long as the Agenda is pushed along.

Selective memory.

It's going to be uncomfortable for a while for willfully blindered Progs like "lindysalsagal", with so many Libs' & Progs' recent condemnations of Bill's horndoggery and sexual assaults.

Haven't seen much about the N.Y. weiner, but he was probably too far gone to try to save anyway
