Even if it's not true, he has nothing to lose by saying it happened. He's 79 and already has a reputation for this kinda thing

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 days ago

him lying about it would be low on the list of bad things he's done if nothing else and it would be the funniest possible option

I don't know. Last time he lied under oath about a blow job it caused quite a stir.

I think he could do even better by not saying it explicitly. Instead being suggestive without perjuring himself.

"Can you clarify what constitutes oral sex?"

"I am not aware if any photos of this alleged event still exist."

"I dont think I could describe what we had as a relationship"

The conservatives got so excited by this quote:

It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the—if he—if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement. … Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true.

They would absolutely lose it over non-admission statements. The option becomes "Bill Clinton is telling the truth!" or "Trump yummied down on Bill's throbbing hot man-chicken".

And I have to say, from the very depths of my soul, the fact that I'm even thinking about both Clinton and Trump, looking at this current reality of American politics.... I fucking hate it.

Fucking stupid as fuck timeline.
