From Uncoach X Algorithm Echo Chamber-

Great acoustic rendition of this Triumph song from 1981. Lead singer still has the pipes to sing it, too.

Clinton got his butt handed to him in 1994 with much thanks going to his leftist dipstick wife. Clinton was pragmatic and moved towards the Center. Your current crop of comrades don’t appear to be anywhere near as politically astute as Slick Will.
The point is that the party was thought dead in 1990 with no bright stars and two years later Clinton comes out of nowhere to win the primary and the Presidency twice.

I'd say the arrival of Clinton marked the end of the traditional (D) party and paved the way to what it's become today. Some people seem to think that's a good thing, but I'm not among them.

So he enabled a predator for 30 years, by not speaking up about this? I don’t have much respect for people who protect predators and then squeal decades later.
Everybody knows about Bill Clinton. What Patterson said isn’t a secret. Did you expect Bill Clinton to get prosecuted for what he did? Were you born yesterday?

The entire democratic party loves him. It is no secret how he and Hillary behaved. They are still heroes in the leftwing circles.

Also we are talking about the 90’s. Rilla thinks standards of 2025 were the standards 30+ years ago. Next thing you know Rilla is going to complain about To Kill a Mockingbird being in a school library.

What in the world are you talking about?

I’m adding on to my other response. You clearly don’t understand what happened here. Patterson followed the wishes of the victim. She didn’t want the news out because she wanted to remain in the military and be promotable. This was the 1990’s, not 2025. Patterson got Slickster to offer an apology to her even as he wasn’t contrite. Why have you become such a feelings over logic individual?

why didn’t we hear this story from Buzz 30 years ago? I haven’t heard this story about molesting a girl and apologizing to her. Why is this tweet trending if we already knew about it?

This Buzz story does nothing but hit people in the feels.

My logic tells me that people should report crimes when they happen, not when it is politically convenient 30 years later.

You didn’t read the entire information for 1. You’re too ignorant of women entering the work force and the military before you were an adult. 2. You hold account of what you think should have been done, as opposed to what the victim desired. You aren’t a knight in shining armor.

By this logic, many criminals would never be exposed and prosecuted. Abusers know to go after vulnerable people. Clinton did that. The people who saw it happen, and let it continue, just allowed others to be victimized.

“We made him apologize for sexually assaulting someone.”

Wow, so brave.

So you would have lost the woman her job in the military that she wanted to keep and be able to promoted. Flat out moronic on your part. Go back and watch movies from the 80’s. Go read up on Apple and its culture in the 80’s. Next thing you know, you will want to remove all of the Christopher Columbus statues in the US and replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People who actually murdered and enslaved their enemies Day.

You’re veering off topic because you know he’s done nothing with his statement.

30 years ago he could have said “Bill Clinton sexually assaulted someone. The victim does not want to come forward, and I will respect her wishes. But the public needs to know that our President is a predator.”

Instead he asked the President to apologize, and notes that it didn’t impact BC at all.

He acted the way priests and bishops did in the past. Apologize and we will all move on. Well, except the victims. And the future ones. They will be resilient. I don’t need to watch movies or research Apple to say that people that did nothing during those years are cowards.

I’m not veering off-topic at all. Your logic is illogical. It isn’t real or applicable to the situation and you can’t acknowledge that. You’ve come up with a lot of dopey nonsense lately and tried to defend yourself. The world does not operate in your ideal standards. The world did not operate in the 80’s and 90’s to the standards of 2025. What your logic says to do is victimize the victim by doing something else she doesn’t want to do. You are just as bad as BC.

You brought up Christopher Columbus and indigenous people. Sure.

Buzz could have been courageous in the past. He wasn’t. He wrote a book and is trying to stay relevant. Trying to boost his image by exposing scandals he should have exposed in the past.

Did he consider warning women about BC? That could have helped.

But sure, awesome post Buzz! Really impactful!

Did you really add “you are just as bad as BC”?

lol

Is the woman involved talking about it now? If not, Buzz just revictimized her for his benefit. I’m sure she loves that memory being sent out to the world, knowing no one did anything to stop it from happening to her or others.

Saying there was a culture of men sexually assaulting women in the workplace, in the 80s and 90s, and that the people who ignored it were just part of the culture, is a wild cope. Cucks for abusers.

“My neighbor beat the **** out of his wife for years. She was afraid to say anything because she would lose her house. I made him apologize. He didn’t seem impacted by it much, hopefully he stopped beating the **** out of her, and didn’t move on to the kids. I never said another thing about it to him, or anyone else. But man, I feel great telling this story off my chest 30 years later.”

It’s almost like predatory men prey on women that have something to lose. Buzz was one of many that enabled BC.

This clown is an idiot, please stop posting his nonsense. Nothing was sketchy all Republicans led investigations made same conclusion. Rubio said it was irrefutable. plus even if sketchy that does not make it immoral, that is what investigations look at all the time. LOL
Check Nunez invest.

FYI, the Muller Invest is what gave the Dems the idea of running a brain dead candidate, just like Mueller !
