          For one Biden made a lot more concessions to the left and his campaign strategy included working with rather shutting out progressives. For another morgues were literally overflowing with Covid deaths, and enough people wanted something to be done about that to get Biden just over the edge. Hillary and Harris were both running campaigns strictly inferior to Biden’s, and not by a small amount, so given that Biden’s race was already very close you’d need zero additional information to predict their losses.

    I get the point the person replying to Hillary is trying to make, but it’s really not strange to think that in her current age she views a 15-year-old as a “little girl” the way we view Epstein, Trump, and the like as pedophiles for what they did to young teenagers of similar age.

    Speaking of which, they release those Epstein files yet?

        America had a space program before NASA and was recruiting the Mercury 7 in 1957 when she was 9 or 10, aka a little girl. like. Hillary Clinton sucks, but this argument for why she sucks sucks.

    Not saying she’s telling the truth, but this is hardly a “gotcha.” The Mercury 7 were selected in 1959, and it was celebrated news at the time. An 11 year old girl could certainly have written to NASA.

    This thing is old as dirt. It has much jpeg, the patina of the internet. Never post a tweet with the date cut off. Also I never saw how Hillary replied to that.

    Anyhow, when will the current admin show us those Epstein files?

      This is a very old meme. It looks to be from 2019, and is just another repost by a random person (or bot) on the Internet. It has nothing to do with Epstein on any level.

        Very old meme followed by 2019 does not work in my head. I was expecting something like 2012, lol.

        The distraction machinery definitely uses bots and it seems like an easy strategy to just reuse posts that did well. Not saying that this definitely is part of that. But I’d be careful with sentences like “It has nothing to do with Epstein on any level.”

    I too cannot possibly think of wanting to be something that no American has become yet. :P

      Yes. They were the original computers. However none of them were eligible to be astronauts at the time. It was male only.
