Don't give him credit for including O'Reilly, it's just a way of being able to say "I'm able to acknowledge bad people on both sides, unlike those partisan liberals" as a deflection for when you question why the most notable figure in politics today isn't included.

Gotcha, better then 90% of cartoonists is still not 'good'. That's why I'm looking at Bill Clinton. Consensual blowjob vs grab them by the pussy. HMMM who should by my pig?

There were a few women that came forward saying that he solicited sexual stuff from them, but I know at least one recanted later, and I remember it being more political.

Well, there is an argument that the power imbalance between President Clinton and any of the people working at the White House makes the notion of the sex being consensual murky and difficult to determine at best. However, that's not the argument the right wing wants to have. Their notion is: All sex a woman has with a white Republican male is consensual, no matter what the circumstances. All sex a woman has with any other male is rape, no matter what the circumstances.

I mean really when you come down to it, is sex with the president of the United States ever consensual? Talk about a power imbalance

I think it extends even beyond just party lines on that to A manly man who is a REAL man means that a woman always consents. Once again that is used to make the republicans the manly men defending the ways that REAL men are supposed to act. While liberals are limp wristed with manbuns and a potbelly.

Clinton has literally been investigated by the right wing media non-stop for nearly 30 years--without a single indictment much less a conviction--and he's talking about 8 months.

FreeKillB posted:Accusations run the whole gamut: Paula Jones alleged sexual harassment, Kathleen Willey alleged sexual assault, and Juanita Broaddrick alleged rape. There are enough accusations that it would be unwise to dismiss them wholly, but the really serious ones seem to have pretty big inconsistencies. Clinton is in the rare situation where it's plausible that women could plausibly be incentivized to make false accusations. I would say in this case that it is hard to dismiss either possibility out of hand.

Yes, sure, a word that literally means "broken bank" cannot be applied to a bank. Just ask the Lehman Brothers. Or, like, this ridiculously long Wikipedia page that's only for the USA and only since 2008. Granted they haven't all technically filed for bankruptcy, if your idiot boss is a nitpicker.

 Kudelka:  Pope:  Rowe:  The high court ruling on the citizenship issue was that five members of parliament were ineligible to have been elected, including Barnaby Joyce, deputy PM and leader of the National Party. The other four were Senator Fiona Nash, Senator Larissa Waters, Senator Scott Ludlam, and Senator Malcolm-Ieuan: Roberts., the living soul. Barnaby Joyce will be running in a by-election, and until then the government no longer has its majority in the lower house.

DACK FAYDEN posted:As someone who was far too young to know anything back then, all I know is that rear end in a top hat Ken Starr wasn't willing to bring Juanita Broaddrick's testimony in at any point in the entire sordid Presidential affair. Given how motivated he seemed to find literally anything real... well. I don't know if Bill did other things to other people, but I think what he did to Juanita is probably not what she said. Which doesn't mean it's nothing! But. I really dislike this talking point a lot. Ken Starr probably didn't raise the Juanita case because he knew his audience, which was still in the 90s.

Mueller's not even the one behind the dossier, you massive dumbass. He has nothing to do with it beyond looking into it after the fact like everyone else. Seriously, all the right-wing cartoons on the subject have been really stupid, but this one doesn't even have the basic facts right.

I would say in this case that it is hard to dismiss either possibility out of hand. Much of the left would happily tar Bill Clinton as a sexual predator if the right would do the same to literally anyone on their side with the same or worse evidence of it. But it's all just such a disingenuous line of bullshit that amounts to nothing more than "no, you!" that no one who cares really gives a gently caress. Also, the problem with Juanita's claim was by the time Ken Star was sniffing around, she'd signed an affidavit saying it never happened. Considering the history of trying to hold men, especially powerful men, accountable for their sexual malfeasance, that's not enough to rule it out for me, but I'm not going to blame the court for taking it at face value.

Roland Jones posted:Mueller's not even the one behind the dossier, you massive dumbass. He has nothing to do with it beyond looking into it after the fact like everyone else. Mueller is a white Republican authority figure so they can't quite bring themselves to say mean things about him. Instead Hillary is their convenient scapegoat. Edit: Also, Juanita Brodderick's claim is largely plausible in my opinion, regardless of her present political leanings. I think that the body of evidence for Bill Clinton being a sexual predator is large, and he fits neatly into a broader discussion of powerful, mostly white men abusing their privilege to take advantage of women. Right-wingers just want an excuse to deflect, however.
