LOL @ Fux News Spending The Whole Day Running A Documentary on The Clinton Impeachment.

[TrollBuster9090]

Fox News spent the first day of 2019 running a three hour documentary called 'Scandalous,' about the Republican attempt to impeach Bill Clinton over and over again.

Really? Why would you do that? Sure, it might buck up your base to re-live their GLORY DAYS. But even your half-witted viewers might notice a couple of things:

-You're showing EXACTLY THE SAME Republican politicians demanding that Ken Star be allowed to complete his investigation into Clinton, who are now demanding that Robert Mueller's investigation into Trump be STOPPED. Thus, exposing them all as a steaming pile of putrid, amoral political hacks and hypocrites.

-You showed dozens of Republicans on the Senate floor insisting that 'nobody is above the law, not even the President.' And now, EXACTLY THE SAME Republicans are insisting that a sitting President can't be indicted, and even if he is, he has the power to PARDON HIMSELF. In other words: no President is above the Law, UNLESS he's a Republican.

-You tried to impeach Clinton over a blowjob, while claiming that Trump's embezzlement, money laundering, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy to subvert American democracy should be ignored. Talk about priorities. And if it's tawdry sexual affairs you're after, Trump did more of that than Clinton EVER did.

--You reminded everybody that it was Republican operatives who forced the issue of Clinton having to testify in the civil suit by Paula Jones, and the (Republican) Supreme Court ruled he had to. And that EXACTLY THIS RULING will force Trump to testify in the Stormy Daniels civil suit, with exactly the same goal in mind (humiliation of the President, and a possible perjury trap).


Finally, the subliminal message of their pathetic 'documentary' is concern trolling, by pointing out that Clinton actually got MORE popular every time they took a shot at him. And thus, maybe Democrats shouldn't try the same thing on Trump.


There are three problems with your concern trolling, however...

1. You tried to impeach Clinton when he had a 60% approval rating. Trump is the opposite, with a solid approval rating ceiling of 40%. It's not a universal law that whenever you try to impeach a President, he becomes MORE popular. DUH! Have you selectively forgotten the Nixon hearing? It IS, however, a universal law that it's harder to impeach a POPULAR President with a FAKE scandal than it is to impeach an UNPOPULAR President with a half dozen REAL scandals. Nice try, though...

2. Clinton didn't actually break any LAWS. You just tried to impeach him for 'bringing the Presidency into disrepute.' Trump does more to bring the Presidency into disrepute by 8am than Clinton did in 8 years. But, in addition to that, he's committed REAL crimes. Good luck trying to keep actual law breaking within the political realm.

and finally,

3. WE'RE NOT BUYING IT, ANYWAY. Save your energy. Re-running clips of Trey Gowdy in the Benghazi hearings would be a better use of your time, dingbats.

3. Good points. Thank you for suffering thru FOX 'news' broadcasts.

4. I wonder if the cult learned anything. If they paid attention they might come to the conclusion

that near treason is worse than anything Clinton ever did or thought of doing. The Mueller report is going to make Watergate look like a prank.

5. K&R. Good rant, TB9090. Well said.

Faux is setting up the deplorables for a very hard fall...........

6. Going back to their "good old days."

That’s all they’ve got. On a stained blue dress. While the rest of us can reference Nixon and genuine high crimes and misdemeanors sdemeanors. Let ‘em sit ‘n’ swivel their way down Memory Lane.

That’s all they’ve got.

And meanwhile, they reinforce the whole idea of IMPEACHMENT. Seems to me that just makes the whole idea of IMPEACHMENT all the more realistic and probable. That this theme is EVERYWHERE now seems to make the whole idea a bit more real, logical, accepted, commonplace, and assumed inevitable.

The longer this goes on, and the more logical a conclusion it becomes, the more people get used to the whole idea, the more inevitable it becomes.

Soon it will be an idea we’re all familiar with, and comfortable with. Thus easier to accept. Talk of it SHOULD be everywhere. The easier it develops as the logical next step.

9. That's right...the good old days for Republicans

And the beginning of the big decline for America.

7. Maybe we can pick up a few pointers to use on Trump.

I like that their audience is being prepared for Trump's impeachment.

8. Actually did commit a crime

He lied about the blow-job under oath.

After a few years of hard investigating that went nowhere (if you want to use the phrase 'witch-hunt' here, I understand completely), they found:
The Clinton's got scammed by family friends. (Whitewater)
The Clinton's fired the travel agent for the WH (and that was their right, IIRC). (travel-gate)
Bill got a blow-job by a willing intern, and lied about it. (I won't comment beyond I have female friends who would have volunteered, too). The blow-back took out several REPUBLICANS that were screwing their aide's for several years, in that they missed their chance to be speaker of the house. I don't think anything else happened to them, because, IOKIYAAR.

Did I miss any?

10. It was the media's cheerleading

the Clinton impeachment that got me to stop watching the corporate media for information. Only one TV news reporter refused to cover the impeachment, Keith Olbermann.
Since there was no real impeachable offense, the media should have jumped all over the House Republicans for damaging the nation for cheap political gain.
Fortunately, Bill Clinton didn't resign in the face of Republican extortion.
The perjury charges against Clinton were neutered when the Judge ruled that the question regarding Clinton's relations with Monica Lewinsky as irrelevant and stricken from the record.
Does anyone recall Dale Bumpers' opening of his summation in Clinton's defense in the Senate trial? "When they say it's not about the sex, it's about the sex."
I remember Pox News commentators denying any knowledge of oral sex until the Clinton impeachment. Everything changes once the lying starts.
The genesis of Pox News is rooted in the hatred of Democrats, and there was no Pox News until 1996, coincidentally the beginning of Clinton's second term.
Once I determine someone is a Pox News cult member the conversation abruptly ends.
