American Crime Story: Impeachment

[Jester]

Anyone tune into this? The season finale was Tuesday and the series seemed to really bash everyone but the Clintons and Monica, despite all the evidence that Clinton did EVERYTHING he was accused of in regards to these women. Some how he gets a pass?

I watched most episodes, and it was interesting enough (not near as compelling as Season 1's O.J. Simpson, of course). I actually fell asleep during this week's finale... they really start those eps too late for me. Maybe I'll buy it digitally when it goes on sale via VUDU.

I had the feeling going into this that it would take a very "contemporary" attitude to the historical events, maybe because of who the lead director was.

Poor Paula Jones seems to get some of the worst of it. I live near Lonoke, AR, so I've seen her on rare occasions (she occasionally shopped at the grocery store where I worked years ago) and she seemed nice enough not sure why this series decided to make her a gullible hayseed who practically deserved to have her life destroyed.

Yeah, every episode I saw was almost savage. I guess I had forgotten about that psychic hotline phase though. Kinda odd that anybody could just call her directly for a "reading."

When's the Biden episode?

Heh, I wonder how long they'll wait to do a Trump mini-series... or two?

Has Season 4 been confirmed yet?

I'm sure it'll happen eventually.

Not watching it - the Clintons disgust me and always have - but I'm not surprised they get a soft touch on this kind of thing. We're "supposed" to love them, after all.

Despite, y'know... him being a rapist at worst and a cheating womanizer at best, and his piece of sh*t wife being an enabler who looked the other way on him being a rapist and/or cheating piece of sh*t, on account of she knew that one day she was gonna try and ride his name into the White House. She's got her own history going way back, smearing the reputations of rape victims and getting their rapists acquitted. She might be WORSE than her disgusting husband, if anything. I mean for a woman to treat other women that way... I can't get my head around that. She's garbage. They're both garbage. Lowest of the low. That "Aw, shucks" hayseed crap Bill always tried to portray might be enough to win over the rubes, but I always saw right through his act. They're both trash.

Not shocked they get portrayed kindly in this. One more reason for me not to watch it. If I had my way they'd both be in jail.

I don't like people who lie. Especially when your entire position is based on convincing an entire country to trust you. You have a responsibility to be MORE honest and ethical in that position, not less.

I don't like people who commit adultery. Don't be married if you can't be faithful.

I don't respect women who stay with men who cheat on them because they expect to benefit from it financially. They don't respect themselves, because they choose to stay with men who disrespect them. So if they don't respect themselves I certainly am not going to.

I don't abide rapists. This one should need no explanation.

If you're a woman and you stay married to a rapist... and have in the past actually worked to get rapists set free and their victims' reputations ruined... I kinda think you're better off dead, because you're garbage. Irredeemable f*cking garbage.

SO YEAH, this doesn't sound like the kinda show I'd watch. But that honestly doesn't shock me.

Yeah, I think I tuned in to see just how they were going to portray Clinton and was very disappointed that they seemed to treat him with kid gloves and almost make him a victim of the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" as his wife would famously claim.

Can't wait for season 2, where it explains how Trump hid those deep Russian connections.

And that's a big part of why I hate HER so much. "How the f*ck COULD you?!"

She stood by him through EVERYTHING, and for what? WHY? "Because I wanna be the first woman President!" So you stay married to a rapist who'd stick his dick in a potted plant if there was nothing else warm and wet around. You chew through your tongue and smile through your teeth even though you probably HATE the son of a bitch, and what's more you DEFEND him... and all because "Hillary Rodham" couldn't get elected Dog Catcher, but "Hillary Rodham CLINTON" just might become President one day.

What a fine f*cking role model for girls and women everywhere. THAT'S who our daughters should be looking up to, right? "I don't give a damn if he IS a monster... I need his name because I get more money and power that way." And women glorify her, Because Vaginas.

If I were a woman, I'd be disgusted to share a species with a piece of sh*t like that. I would CERTAINLY never call her any kind of "role model". If Bill's a monster, she's arguably worse, because she helped him be that way and never wavered.

Like I literally cannot fathom for one second why these two are beloved by anyone. They're PROVEN garbage. Most of it isn't even "accusations".

Every time I see/hear anyone talk them up, I taste battery acid.

[Jester]

Imagine living near a city with his presidential library and an airport renamed Bill and Hilary Clinton National.

Edit: Also Irony.
