Edit: Last night and this morning 100% reassured me that the internet remains undefeated and unfuckwithable.

The reaction to the Trump/Clinton blowjob rumor was easily the funniest thing that has happened in like, a decade. For several hours, I couldn’t turn anywhere, on any social media platform without seeing thousands upon thousands of memes about it. It got to the point for a while where I literally couldn’t see anything except memes about that, on any social media platform that I use. Just…endless memes about trump sucking Clinton cock. It was absolutely incredible. I don’t even think that it actually ever happened. But the fact that like two billion people latched on to it and immediately began relentlessly making fun of it is a beautiful thing. It was the most unhinged shit I’ve ever seen in my entire life, and I’m old. It was beautiful.

      Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 after it came out that a white house intern, Monica Lewinsky, had been giving him blowjobs, and now this.

        He was impeached because he lied about having an affair with an intern. Not because of the act.

          The Ken Starr report that lead to Clinton’s impeachment begs to differ.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starr_Report

          Many of the details reveal highly personal information; many are sexually explicit…Because Starr’s office allegedly leaked portions to press about sexual details that were mentioned in his report, he was criticized for using the scandal as a political maneuver and was charged for violating legal ethics by presenting information irrelevant to an investigation as evidence of legal wrongdoing.

          That report is ten times the size of the 9-11 report btw.

          Reading the charges now is hilarious considering Trump is guilty of the same hundreds, possibly thousands of times over.

          He was impeached for daring to be a Democrat when the Republicans had an axe to grind. Monica didn’t even work at the white house yet when Ken Starr started his investigation.

        No, he was impeached for lying to Congress about it.

        If he had just said, “Yeah, Monica blew me,” he would have been fine.

        His popularity soared higher, the lower his pants went. I seen it.

        And he won against congress in that impeachment.
