    Imagine a world in which Bush had actually prosecuted Slick Willy, rather than giving him the old Yale reach around and sending him off to the Wall Street speaking circuit.

    Maybe Hilary wouldn’t have become a Senator and then Secretary of State. Maybe we wouldn’t have bombed Libya. Maybe Trump wouldn’t be president right now, off an email scandal.

      You’re hilarious.

      Prosecuted him for what? The Clintons were investigated and reinvestigated and rerereinvestigated for eight years. Travelgate, Vince Foster, and every other “scandal” was put under the microscope a dozen times.

      Meanwhile, clowns like you happily ignored Trump going on Howard Stern and talking about perving on the children in the Miss Teen America pageant.

        Prosecuted him for what?

        Juanita Broaddrick and Paula Jones, just for starters. The illegal military strikes into Iraq in '93 and Sudan in '98 and the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in '99 which killed three journalists. Their involvement in the Arkansas Prisoner Blood Sales scandal, having appointed and defended a number of people involved.

        Then there’s the more obscure stuff. The Clinton/Epstein connection, for instance. US support for the Yeltsin government’s Rule By Decree following a bad electoral turn and the subsequent cannibalization of Russian democracy. The assorted corporate kickbacks and money laundering scandals that came out of the Clinton/Walmart relationship. Yadda yadda yadda.

        Bush Jr wasn’t going to touch any of that because he was up to the gills in corrupt practices himself. But maybe if the GOP didn’t suck shit…

          No one should vote for the Dems. Lets just sit on our hands until the Revolution magically appears.

              Thanks for proving my point.

              Please, provide a detailed plan for how the same people who failed to get Bernie nominated are going to come up with a brand new third party before the 2026 elections.

              You get funnier and funnier as you get sadder and sadder.
