    Frankly, I don’t even think Hillary gives a shit about covering for Bill at this stage- The argument that anyone is trying to protect Bill is idiotic.

      Right? The time when there might have been some kind of large amount of people wanting to cover for him was maybe…2 and half decades ago? The guy isn’t in power, no one cares enough for any of that…

      It’s mostly the butthurt cons that were spreading black helicopter nonsense and swapping copies of the Clinton Body Count over email back in the 90s that are still obsessed with Bill (and Hillary).

      And if she did give a shit about covering for Bill in the past and did anything to meaningfully do that, then by all means, lock her up too.

      This shouldn’t be political. I don’t care if there was a stupid slogan for that chanted by idiots, a broken clock can be right sometimes.

        Like giving us the sitting POTUS as a candidate in the first place? Worshipping at the altar of Kissenger and Nunn? Color revos? Or any number of things during her tenure as Secretary of State?

          Those are political things. Those are things she should have been voted out of power for, not locked up for.

          I was thinking more along the lines of the “helping cover up pedophilia and human trafficking” thing. That’s a crime worthy of prison time.

            She was voted out of power. And then we got Trump.

            I’m no fan of Clinton, but rather a million times her than Trump. But the US clearly needs better candidates.

              Certainly, she would have been a better president than Trump. But that’s damning with extremely faint praise. A rotten turnip would have been a better president than Trump.

              I’ve long tried to tell Americans that they need to spend their effort on the party primaries, that’s the last chance for actual options to be considered. Once you get to the election itself the only thing left to evaluate is “which is the lesser evil?”

            Everything is political, my friend. She should absolutely face consequences for her role in the heinous war crimes committed while she was secretary of state.

              We’ve got literal piles of active Nazis and you want to go after Hillary for doing status quo shit.

              Yeah, okay. Let me add her to the list. I think I’ve got a spot here at #187.

                Don’t worry, I want to go after the fascists. But I reject the assertion that making life worse for Americans is somehow more morally wrong than making life worse for Libyans. In fact, I will go so far as to say that if you are willing to hand wave away atrocities as “status quo shit” then it makes sense that fascism is where things end up.

                  But making life worse for more groups is objectively more morally wrong than making life worse for fewer groups.

                    I wasn’t talking about who is better or worse than who. Do you actually think nobody less bad than trump should face any kind of justice?

      I don’t know if that was a marriage of convenience/business since the beginning, but it sure seems to have got there eventually.
