    If your only complaint about a president is that he didn’t change a practice older than the nation itself, indentured servitude / prison labor, then that sounds like a damn fine president to me.

    Sadly, Clinton was not the saint you make him out to be, he was actually pretty anti-welfare and you would do better to criticize him for things like that which he actually wrote policy on.

      That’s not my only complaint by a long shot. But there’s a straight line from keeping slaves in your Governor’s mansion to keeping them on Epstein Island. If the standard of decency for a human being is so low that brutalizing someone into servitude is a step below sainthood, we’re a nation that deserves a thousand years of Donald Trump.

        I think if the Trump admin had any dirt on Clinton in the Epstein files they would have unloaded it all by now. Hell, Bill Clinton actually threatened the Trump admin and asked for the immediate unloading, image attached.
