    Yeah, we (at least I) don’t prop up shitty people to save face, just because they’re on “my team” and I can’t admit I messed up–like basically every MAGA applogist.

    Yes yes yes, some founding fathers have very questionable sex lives with young women, so now let’s see the files and maybe we will find one thing trump has in common with founding fathers?

    Guess I’ll have to take all the Clinton flags off my f850 dually, take all the Clinton signs outta of my yard, and quit wearing my made in China Clinton hat. Hell, I might have to stop letting Bill fuck my wife.

      Well, investigate both. And if they’re guilty (which seems likely for both) throw both in jail!

      Though to be fair, Dump himself should go to jail even without any Epstein revelations, he’s done plenty else too

    The cult has always assumed that everyone’s as bad as they are. That’s why they do the things that they do.

      This might unfortunately make me sound like a pedophile… but all decent humans don’t hate pedophiles, they hate (child) sexual assaulters (is that a word?). All decent humans want pedophiles to get appropriate and effective help long before they act. Which would both reduce the number of harmed children and increase the number of functioning and (possibly) happy adults

      All decent humans hate pedophiles

      There has been a recent wave of online influencers and their ilk suddenly talking about how being attracted to minors is “the most natural thing in the world for all men.”

      Combine this with the recent push for removing child-labor laws and you really see what the right’s values are.

          I don’t like how we can’t define what being “Decent” even means anymore. Why is it now such a huge problem for people to figure out what’s right and wrong? How did we actually have a Christian pushback against empathy?

          I lost a friend recently. To religion.

          He revealed that he can’t figure out how to have his own values so he turned to Jesus. He said he can’t tell what’s right or wrong anymore. What was happening is that his family were supporting Trump mindlessly, but he felt uncomfortable with it because he has a young daughter and feels really apprehensive about Trump’s history and allegations among other things.

          So his solution? Turn to Christ, his family’s Church said that Trump is chosen by God, so he can now support Trump without a conflict of conscience.

          Yes, that is literally his reasoning, and he is fine with it.

          This is the average median voter in this country. This is why everything has gone to shit. Because average people look outside themselves for moral guidance.

          I was always told how people follow cues of other people for an idea what to do or not, but I never really saw it until I saw a car get crushed by an 18-wheeler on the highway and traffic came to a stop. Someone got out of their car. Picked up a piece of twisted bumper that was in the lane in front of him, moved it aside and got back in and everyone kept driving. (I helped pull the old couple out and they were okay, not another soul stopped. DPS officers said that’s normal, sometimes they will go out to remote accidents and people will have bled out in their car because nobody stopped to check the occupants.)

    Their angle is not “haha your guy will lose!” but had already shifted to "well your guy does it too so it’s ok you can’t accuse us of anything otherwise you’re a dirty hypocrite "

      I remember this with Elon Musk’s Nazi salute back in January. Even if the images of other politicians “doing it” hadn’t been taken grossly out of context, Musk still did it.

        Most of those are photos of a wave, which is what gets me. They say “Elon had a photo out of context just like these people!”

        And it’s like “No…it’s a video with the context very much kept and there are no illusions”

      Which i always hate because he’s not “my guy”. He’s a politician that I voted for based on their policies. This isn’t a sports game.

    At this point, I doubt even Hillary would defend that asshole if there’s solid evidence he was involved.

    Throw them all in a low security jail and let nature take its course.
