    I loved Slick Willy while he was in office, he presided over the greatest decade in American life, the 90’s, one of such hope and progress, and relative safety, I’m quite sure we’ll not see the like again while I’m on this earth.

    That said, the Lewinsky stuff was embarrassing, and the repeal of Glass-Steagall set up the Subprime mortgage crisis and later the Global Financial crisis which saw the American people have to pay Billions to bail out banks, who weren’t forced to change in any way, while average tax paying American citizens lost their livelihoods, homes, and in some cases their lives.

    I’ll always have a soft spot for Bill, I wish him well.

      Really? You’re actually defending his “third-way” neoliberal bullshit?

      I don’t even care about the blowjob; Bill Clinton was a piece of shit president for reasons entirely unrelated to that.

        He’s one of the core reasons why politics are as fucked up as it is right now. Hopefully he dies a very painful agonizing death.

          That’s a funny way to say Newt Gingrich. Once again, we’re blaming the wrong group and party for not doing enough to defend the country from fascists, without blaming the fascists. Well done.
