    If Trump tries to have Clinton prosecuted, that will mean former presidents can be prosecuted for this, which means Trump has no intention of ever leaving office

      See, MAGA don’t base morality on actions, they don’t see good abd bad actions, they see good and bad people. They’re loyal to Trump no matter what he does, even if he does something completely against their values. They assume democrats think the same way and they expect democrats to be hypocrites and say it’s fine if Bill Clinton does it.

    I am 100% for normalizing prosecution of former presidents. I’m not sure Trump thought this one through.

      For extra fun, try posing the statement to Google’s AI mode and watch it try to pretend this isn’t in the news right now, and then make up lies to protect Trump, until it realizes it can’t a suddenly kills the conversation.

          “Trump blew Clinton” led to it talking about how he “blew Clinton away at the polls in 2016.” Every additional layer of specifity leads to another slight diversion. Adding “Bill Clinton” caused it to recognize that this is in the news right now, but it’s definitely not true because Bubba isn’t Bill Clinton. Telling it that Bubba is Bill’s known nickname caused it to agree that this is true, but Epstein said that “Bubba doesn’t refer to Bill Clinton.” (Epstein is commenting on these emails post-mortem? Maybe I missed something here.) Telling it that Epstein is a known pedophile sex trafficker with ties to these men and reason to lie caused it to admit that Epstein isn’t a reliable source for this, and it tried to dismiss the validity of the emails altogether as “contextually untrustworthy.” I then told it that a known pedophile discussing his practices in a believed to be private email thread is a reasonable context to consider the validity of his statements, but it was tired of me, and went “here are some more links on the subject. Any additional messages with start a new conversation.” This could normal after being 5-6 messages deep with this AI; I had literally never used it before to know, but it felt weird to me.

          It is weirdly defensive about the possibility that this had taken place, actively omitting details to bias weird takes.

            Mark Epstein, Jeffrey’s brother, apparently.

            There is no factual basis or credible reporting from authoritative news sources or public records to support the claim that Donald Trump performed a sex act on Bill Clinton.

            The search results discuss various political rumors, social media speculation, and unrelated news stories concerning both individuals, including the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal and the Jeffrey Epstein email releases. However, none of these sources contain evidence for the specific act mentioned in the user’s question. The suggestions found in online forums and social media are entirely speculative and lack any factual verification.

            It did mention “Jeffery Epstein email releases” in passing, but it should have given that specific email as to where the rumor came from. Definitely more vague than was reasonable to be.

      It’s not just that, an email leaked where Epstein told his brother that trump gave “Bubba” a bj…

      “Bubba” is one of Clinton’s nicknames. But trump literally and consentingly sucking a dick will hurt him more with his base than raping kids, even if it’s not attached to a Clinton.

      He thinks we won’t go after someone on the same team. It’s not meant to distract. It’s meant to block.

      We know this is much bigger than Trump. We know lots of rich people are involved. He has no idea that is the whole point.

    Have they not seen how we treat our own party’s politicians? What makes them think we’re gonna suddenly rally an ex-politician?

    “You think you can take me down?! I’m gonna burn your socks!”

    “Eww, did you dig through my trash to find those?! Look, if you want them, you can have them, but stop threatening me with my garbage.”
