The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Didn’t they try to charge Hilary Clinton for using an insecure private server?
This would matter if Republicans and their voters gave a shit about being hypocrites. That is not a new thing. Newt Gingrich went after Clinton for having an affair while he himself was having one for instance.
Gingrich was worse. His wife at the time had cancer and he served her divorce papers while in the hospital and then left her and their child pennyless.
Christian love
Instead of mocking things as Christian that clearly aren’t (which includes pretty much everything I know about religion in the USA) we should remind those people what their values, their religion stand for. That’s far more likely to get them to change for the better.
I get what yours saying, but being hateful is what evangelical Christianity gas evolved to become. These are their values
It feels weird to say who was worse. Gingrich was worse to his wife for certain. Absolute monster of a husband and father. Clinton engaged in workplace sexual harassment as the president of the united states, and for some reason it took like 20 years for people to realize that lewinsky was his primary victim after spending years and years shaming her more than him.
Tbh I’d rather be sexually harassed in the workplace than get to the end of my life and realize that the person I had children with and wanted to grow old with didn’t give a flying fuck about me as a human being.
Not that either is good, but most of us understand that our bosses view as as resources. And if you’re raised female, you’re definitely aware of that dynamic.
I think I include the whole of the media circus in with lewinsky’s treatment. And I also think I might have higher expectations of employers than of husbands with dying wives.
I don’t want to disagree with your main point, I just want to say that this is a misstatement of what happened with Clinton. He was being sued for sexual harassment by Paula Jones in civil court. He was impeached for lying under oath and obstruction during that investigation.
The hinky part of it is that Kenneth Starr was originally supposed to be investigating whether the Clintons had participated in fraudulent real estate dealings. When that investigation turned up nothing, he was directed to look into Clinton’s testimony about his relationship with Lewinsky, which had nothing to do with the original investigation. It was a massive fishing expedition. At one point they had the FBI working with Lewinsky’s friend to secretly record her talking about the relationship.
Depending on how much you believe David Brock - they were going to keep going until they found something. They were also happy to make up a lot of shit too - the stuff about state troopers bringing in women for Bill to sleep with, Vince Foster and the other “murders.” The entire investigation was not about justice.
Which of course doesn’t make Bill Clinton not a lecherous shitbag and sex pest. The way the world treated and treats Lewinsky is fucked up. He probably did harass Jones, if not all of the other weird mentally ill women Alex Jones types like to trot out.
Agreed on all counts.
Genuinely. I had a discussion with somebody at work which boiled down to “Yeah but Trump stored the top secret documents in an unused bathroom while Hillary had emails in a private server which ended up being poorly secured so Hillary is actually the much worse security violation.”
Both sides are hypocrites. Remember Nancy Pelosi getting a haircut during Covid when regular people couldn’t? Or Gavin Newsom attending a birthday party during his own lockdown?
Let’s not both sides this shit. Yes, there are some corporate Democrats that are indeed hypocrites (I despise both Pelosi and Newsom) but Democrats have a mole hill while Republicans have a Denali sized problem with it.
The Biden administration has been happy aiding and abetting a genocide which caused hundreds of thousands of casualties, most of them innocent women and kids.
Not sure how that is an example of hypocrisy. Politician doing shitty thing does not automatically equate to hypocrisy. He also got a good amount of criticism for his actions and it possibly caused Harris to lose. Compare that with the complete lack of criticism with Trump from Republicans.
Are you suggesting aiding and abetting a genocide is a mole problem? I beg to differ.
It is an example of hypocrisy when the Biden administration praises themselves as leader of the free world and promotes a rules based order only to be accomplices of genocide.
Of course, this does not excuse what the Trump administration is doing.
Didn’t they tank her presidential bid on this? How she was unprofessional and unfit for office for this? And his Perfect Ukraine Call, his hacked emails, his every other lapse of OPSEC or security clearance issues… weren’t disqualifying? Or was it just what she had in her pants, same with Kamala.
Yeah I don’t think it’s a fair comparison. A private email server vs dming randos by accident.
