Not going to watch the self righteous mainstream media pistol whip @HillaryClinton AGAIN.

I refuse.

First of all, I absolutely agree in principle with almost everything she said.

1/

And this abuse of power debate given the ridiculous excesses of men like Bush 2.0 who continue to walk around unchecked for far more actually consequential abuses of power is laughable to me.

Do I think what Bill reached a legally definable level of such a charge?

Nope.

2/

Do I think he used his stature to get a blowjob from, yes, sorry people, an actual adult woman who actually wanted to give him one already anyway?

Sure.

Do I think he tried to push things in a direction that would save him from having to admit that to anyone?

Yep.

3/

But Clinton was the President of the United States and as we are watching now in real time and watched happen constantly everyday from roughly 2001 - 2008 when a President wants to really abuse his power they will do it, and they won't care about our opinions on the matter.

4/

Bill Clinton was a dude who got caught with his pants down even after thinking he had done everything he could to not get caught.

Jesus we've rehashed this a million times. Monica was not some fucking scared little victim & Bill was not some dominating dark perverted dude.

5/

Yes, he was the President of the United States, but remove that one fact and that whole drama could not be more banal,generic, and common if it tried.

And you expect @HillaryClinton to be somehow above her own imperfect humanness?

Really?

6/

Woman defends/believes the people she loves most in the world, News at 11.

You expect her to have a shit ton of sympathy for a woman who gleefully admitted she aggressively sought ways to make what happened happen?

Sure.

Because she's totally different than anyone ever.

7/

This was a gross, indefensible moral lapse, but it was gross and indefensible from both participants.

You do remember the woman's conversations with the lovely Linda Tripp right?

And that she kept a fucking dress he came on as some sort of groupie treasure right?

8/

Because it was a grown, knew what the fuck she was doing adult woman who did all of those things. I wouldn't let anyone get away with referring to a 22 year old female applicant as a girl so I'm sure as hell not going to let anyone get away with it to make her less culpable.

9/

And none of what I am saying undermines my feminism or support for #MeToo or #BelieveWomen.

I don't believe Bill Clinton sexually harassed, groomed, forced, or threatened Monica Lewinsky in anyway.

I think he flirted and fawned inappropriately and so did she.

10/

So STOP trying to make @HillaryClinton say nice things about fucking Monica Lewinsky.

Are you that thoughtless?

WJC was always Hillary's blindspot & probably always will be. We all have them. So stop trying to make Hillary Clinton different than anyone you've ever known.

11/

The problem is that no one seems to understand one crucial fact.

It escapes notice constantly.

Hillary Clinton is actually a human sexual being in her own right.

And she fucking adores Bill Clinton.

Yes. Hillary hearts Bill.

Stop trying to trip her up over this.

12/

It's fucking cruel.

And pointless.

And demeaning.

And the aspersions thrown from the most cracked ass about to fall down glass houses is pretty rich.

Everyone wants to both sides us into equating Bill's immorality with Trump's caustic misogyny and violence.

13/

It's not the same. And the fact you want to force his wife of all people to suddenly proclaim that it is says a lot more about your own maladjusted moral code than it does about her for refusing.

Yes, #ImSTILLWithHer.
