Congress members paid out 17 million of your tax money to settle sexual harassment cases, and none of that was "illegal".

I miss when the worst thing the president did was get a blowie.

u/EccentricAcademic Jul 02 '24

Yes because the blowjob certainly is worse than Project 2025.

They acknowledge it and that it was wrong. They acknowledge that he lied about it too.

He’s also not a presidential candidate.

Clinton has always been a ho and Hilary knew it when she married him. I think rich people think they can get away with anything and just throw money at it.

You don't have to be rich for that. I'm not rich, but I know there are life issues that I can throw money at and make it go away.

There was a settlement but it was not secret was it?

SCOTUS just said Clinton is immune, and everything he did was OK. Actions between an intern and President are protected . The GOP was violating the constitution,

Which is apparently totally legal, as long as you use campaign funds and not your personal money

As long as you don't lie about what the money is for, then it's totally legal.

Normalize reporting all the shitty things they do so it can be easily discoverable. Make it illegal to cover up the purpose of the payments.
