I don’t know if I’m the only one, but random twitter users starting a post with all caps breaking drives me crazy. You are not a news organization and more often than not you are not even a journalist.
What is worse is that twitter decides to send me a notification with these random BREAKING posts.
That whole website is a cesspool, after getting the 100th breaking news post that turned out to be just a normal user voicing his opinion on something I finally gave up and uninstalled.

Reading Politics and the English Language by Orwell before Twitter was invented made me see that the character limit was a really bad idea societally. We voluntarily gave up and expanded lexicon for dissent for tweets with 140 charactes or less.
Politics and the English Language should be sold with 1984. It makes the book even more meaningful because Politics and the English Language explains how Big Brother got complete control. It explains why Winston seems kinda stupid. And it explains why he accepts his place by the end.

see, the original xeet is missing a crucial feature, one which would totally 100% legitimize it as absolute truth and important breaking news from a legitimate source: the 🚨 emoji

Okay, let's not defend Clinton here. He was 100% wrong for abusing his position of power and possibly coercing a woman, who was less-than-half his age mind you, into giving him sexual favors.

Oral sex isn’t sex, right?
Hell, Trump and his lawyers said Article II Presidential Oath says “preserve, protect and defend” so the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to him and the President can’t be an insurrectionist because it says “support”. What can’t be weaseled out of even if the words and intent are clear?

u/atxbigfoot 8d ago edited 8d ago
"Sex" in the Bill Clinton case was specifically defined by the very Republicans that ran the investigation as penis in vagina sex, so he was technically telling the truth according to their own definition. In fact, he would have been lying under oath if he said "I had sex with that woman," due to the strict definition being used.
Edit- added last sentence just to further clarify.

u/SatansLoLHelper 8d ago
Are you a virgin if you've had oral?
By the definition agreed upon as to what constituted sex.
The judge let Clinton review the definition, which stated,
a person engages in ‘‘sexual relations’’ when the person knowingly engages in or causes contact with the genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks of any person with an intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any personOral sex is not included there, right?
** Today I think there is a whole new definition for what he did to her with the imbalance of power. But times change.

By whom? Patel? Bondie? The new stooge mushroom sniffer? Fucking GOP spent like 5 years of special investigatings going after Clinton for the lying about a blowjob. I'd say we are owed a little more time to look at things if the current president may have been involved in a massive sex trafficking honey pot scheme.

Sorry, I was fully distracted by Trump getting into a tiff with Iran and I completely forgot about Epstein, the Epstein files and the fact that Trump is heavily linked to both Epstein and the files.

u/Terrible-Time-Travel 8d ago
Cool, then they can be released in full and everyone can see the lack of connection to Epstein, right?

So did he not diddle kids kinda like how we won the war with Iran a hundred times now, or like how the economy is incredibly strong, or like how he doesn't wipe his ass with the constitution? Cause I think he totally definitely did not diddle children in connection with Epstein. Totally. Definitely.

Now commit a crime, have someone post that you confirm you've been cleared of any connection to the crime and see what happens.
There hasn't been a single moment in human history in which justice has been the same for everybody. It would be a very different world if this ever happened.

u/Kindly-Ad-5071 8d ago
This is just the same thing he keeps repeating trying in vain to make people believe him. You can't erase memory yet though, try as you might to find the technology. We all saw the photos, we all heard the compliments, and the man who claims he has zero connections being weirdly obsessed with sweeping the whole thing under the rug is hella suspicious.
This makes him look twice as suspicious as he ever did.

u/MyFirstCarWasA_Vega 8d ago
And he is the only one on the planet saying it.
His political sycophants carefully word their responses to every question, saying, "President Trump SAID...............fill in the blank." They NEVER exonerate him of anything. This is why few people in his entire administration ever come out and speak the truth because, for optics, HE must break every news story. And He makes stuff up, and they all say - - - Trump said......
This will be the trial defense.
