    In all honesty the absolute weirdest thing about the whole Trump and Clinton BJ thing is that it never crossed my mind that those two would ever do anything close to that…

      To be fair Mark Epstein said in a recent interview that “bubba” was NOT Clinton. Will that stop me from claiming that it is with my maga family members? Not in the slightest 😂

        And the funny thing is that he only says Bubba isn’t who we think he is — but he doesn’t say that ‘blowing’ was meant in any non-literal way. He could’ve easily claimed that ‘blowing’ was meant as some kind of political subservience and that the ‘photo’ was just a joking reference to proof or leverage. Like using those words in a playful, provocative way.

        But the emails also show that they knew how to get politicians to owe them favors. Pretending like Bubba is someone else so Trump owes him one is well within the behavior we’ve seen discussed in the files.

          Honestly to me it just sounded like a guy joke. Sorta like locker room talk. Could have been just making stuff up honestly.

            It doesn’t matter. It’s a rumor that one US president sucked off another US president, except there’s a sliver of credibility in it. It’s one of the least likely things imaginable, yet here it is showing up in a context where you can’t just completely dismiss it as an obvious shitty joke. This is probably going to become one of the most iconic and significant memes in American history, even if it turns out to be false. Our great grandkids will be joking about it in their locker rooms.
