Yes, she was an intern.

I wonder where she would be in life right now, if this hadn't come to public light against her will, after she had already left the White House and was no longer in a relationship with the President.

Yes, I’m not saying she was innocent, but she was 22 and he was in his 50’s and a President. He sat back and let her be the lightning rod to take the heat off him. Being called in for what he did with a intern and his role as upper management is unprofessional, she could have turned around and claimed sexual harassment.

Maybe black parents should push their kids harder to do well in school like Asian parents do. White parents can be just as guilty sometimes, especially when it comes to sports, being the quarterback of the football team being more important than being the valedictorian of the graduating class, American society places it’s priorities in the wrong direction sometimes.

The valedictorian of my graduating class was half Japanese, she was also the best person in my graduating class hands down, I thought more highly of her than any sports team captain or homecoming queen, even after 40 years I still run into her here in town and she is still as wonderful as ever.

A lot of bickering back and forth about the letter coming from BLM or not. The point of the letter, which could easily have been written by them as it's stuff they say, but just how gross it is to expect a white person to not go to a good college to save the seat for a black person.

That kind of racial division is not good for a society such as ours. We're all here with differing backgrounds and people should work together as Americans, not all of this subdivision and tribalism.

That's who we are. And it's our strength. To go through movements and move forward. Kind of in an ADHD way, though.
Well at least you didn't try to claim it didn't happen.

I'm sure BLM will be comforted to know that their cause has gone the way of acid wash jeans and beanie babies because people only cared about the election and didn't really give 2 poops about them otherwise.

When do we think, and WHY do we think, a grown man and grown woman need to be put before a GRAND JURY, with Ms. Lewinsky and her parent's threatened if they didn't cooperate, to talk about a BJ?

Really, a low point in our history when everyone is demanding detailed information about consensual sexual encounters (which, by Ms. Lewinsky's statements in her books, she was the aggressor and her only real complaint is that she herself didn't get pleasured in return).

And also that the woman she believed to be her friend, secretly taped their conversations and went public with them, causing no one to be able to look at her face without thinking about her mouth, which was another complaint she expressed.

We have no business whatsoever asking about the private, consensual sexual behavior between two very willing adults

Enough with the hijacking. Go start a Clinton thread. We need about 2 pages of posts deleted now.

I think you skipped over the part where Clinton was in the midst of a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Paula Jones when Monica Lewinsky filed a sworn affidavit that Clinton never behaved inappropriately with her and that they never had a sexual relationship. This was after an anonymous tip to the lawyers for Paula Jones about Lewinsky and the president. Considering the circumstances of that case it was entirely appropriate to inquire about whether Bill Clinton was having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a young intern in his office.

I thought it was stupid at the time, but now I do believe all things considered Clinton had no business messing around with his intern.

He's got Stockholm Syndrome. If he finds offense he is racist so he praises his thought captors and eventually brainwashed himself to love them.

Maybe the pledge should include paying the tuition bill for these students that will be going to these expensive schools.

This pledge would only result in more students from conservative families getting into these schools.

Now, if past is prologue, the Democrats will say "We agree these people are fringe! We never said defund the Police! We never endorsed Black Lives Matter as a movement!"


But, of course, we all know that's not true.



It's getting a little tiresome but here is the pattern: The Left endorses a radical movement/idea, something horrible comes of it - and then they say "Nothing to see here! We never said that! And if you disagree, you're like....a white taco supreme or something!"


But we all see it. Heck, I used to be a Democrat - so I am (sadly) intimately familiar with just how craven and shameless they have become.


Even with the media, the Deep State, Hollywood, Academia and the military attempting to run interference - the fraud is still being exposed.


And sure, this is just one tiny example - like a grain of sand on a vast beach.


But, boy oh boy; even in today's ludicrous media universe, this is a damning one.


This just isn't American, and the people are going to vote all of you out very soon for enabling this Marxist garbage.
Some will parents who are allies will do just that. Get woke go broke
