For those unaware, that's a reference to the "Clinton Body Count" conspiracy theory. It's been around for decades and has been propagated by a video promoted by televangelist, Liberty University founder, Moral Majority founder and glutton Jerry Falwell and sold out of mail-order ads in the back of right-wing print publications, but has become more popular with the rise of Trumpism--that Hillary opposed Trump in 2016 certainly plays a part--and the tendency toward conspiracy in general among Trump Republicans.



It's come up a bunch in this thread, mostly by way of editorial cartoons and memes, but was even referenced directly in discussion.

The Clintons are mentioned as likely candidates because for one thing, Bill Clinton made several dozen trips with Epstein even though he admits to four or so. For another, there is a very long list of people who died under mysterious circumstances who had information detrimental to the Clintons. Many of these are suicides where the victim was shot in the back of the head.

Says Jerry Falwell.


...

What's more, the idea that the Clintons are obviously responsible for a supposed Epstein homicide instead of, say, Trump is absurd.

There's a great deal of photographic evidence of the Trump/Epstein relationship and Trump, who has admitted on videotape to inappropriate behavior with women and has been accused of even more inappropriate behavior with younger females made possible by his pageant dealings, previously referred to the scum bucket Epstein as a "terrific guy" and acknowledged Epstein's...erm...preferences.

With significant cronyism, it's not pure chance that Trump assigned Alex "Secret Sex Lips" Acosta--who as a civil servant gave Epstein a sweetheart deal--as Labor Secretary. And the falling-out that Donald and Jeffrey are supposed to have had? Well, it's not a stretch to think of the former as being unwilling to share and perhaps Epstein called him on it.

Of course nothing's going to come out connecting Trump to Epstein's death or sexual activities with minors while Barr is overseeing things.

...

I don't believe any of these things, mind you, but it took really no effort at all to think any of it up.

That's how conspiracy theories work. You take established truths and believable rumors to make absurdities seem possible, and then you allege coverups to preemptively shut down criticism of the theory. Unfortunately it works.
 
Article cites the link between smoking and cancer as an example of a big lie. Turns out people on "the left" bought that lie too, maybe moreso.
OK. They're great at financing big lies that are bought by the "left" and right though.

I guess the goat is an acronym for "greatest of all time" in the eyes of the muskrat sculptor and a lot of those people ratioing the Europe map tweet seem to think there's a vast liberal conspiracy to fool us into believing climate change exists to fund useless scientific research judging by as many of the replies as I could stomach.

Of course, he will. It's exactly the sort of thing that feeds his oversized ego.
I wonder if the asking price is so high because a few hundred thousands of it is Musk tax.
