2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'm going to guess Trump's biggest scandalous claim against Bill,
based on lies I've been fighting on Facebook.
Trump is going to bring Bill Clinton's FAKE bastard son to sit in the front row.
This story was disproven 17 years ago with DNA tests, but it will come back to haunt us.

(108,990 posts)I've been fighting with was asking how any black people could support Hillary, knowing the way she and Bill have treated Bill's poor black son.
The fake one, I mean.
They would view that as a bigger bombshell than a different identity for Chelsea's dad.

(44,164 posts)This again is an old right-wing smear (Drudge, etc) that has been scientifically proven to be untrue.

(108,990 posts)But Slate magazine in 1999 said maybe that test wasn't precise enough (it was) and since then it's turned into a big conspiracy theory. Supposedly there are new owners of Star who are saying they don't know anything about the DNA testing.
There have been a rash of stories just in October, seeking to undermine the DNA testing that Star said it did.

(44,164 posts)Of course there have been a "rash of stories" full of lurid innuendo, unfounded speculation, and pseudoscience in the last month. That is what these liars do.
You're one of my favorite posters, do not let your bs Facebook "friend" cloud your mind.
Like everything else, this will backfire on Trump with sane voters.
No mainstream voter wants to relitigate the 90's. Especially over bs that has already been proven false.
Additional, If a handful of AA millennials on face book are buying this, pretty sure their relatives who lived through the 90s will fill them in on the truth.

If they want to trot that one out, bring it!
It will bring Trump full-circle back to birtherism.

(108,990 posts)and I kept making references to the Ken Starr investigation and she kept insisting that Bill had never given DNA to Starr. I finally realized that she apparently didn't know the difference between the Ken Starr investigation and STAR magazine.

(62,444 posts)You know, I tend to believe that people who actually put their energy into living their lives instead of obsessing over every political detail for the last couple of decades have probably been living happier lives.
But you know what? Our media has not been putting any effort into stuff like "Here's why we know the moon landing was not fake" or other crazy shit people believe because, hey, it's crazy shit.
People can't wrap their head around the fact that humans who lived thousands of years ago were perfectly capable of having brilliant minds and could apply their technology in ways that they spent a long time working on, in order to do fantastic things like build the pyramids.
So, aliens it is.
But honest-to-god what a society we'd have if stuff like Ancient Aliens wasn't passed off as a documentary, or if they were a little clearer about their intro "What if it were true?" I mean, hey, I love the show because it is entertaining, and has luxurious HD video of really cool archaeological sites. It's also funny as hell.
We can all laugh at it. But this thing airs on a God-damned "History" channel, and I'm sure that a lot of well-meaning people just don't know any better.
So, heck, yeah, let's get it all out there in plain view - the "love child", all of it - and let's have a national conversation that reaches the point of "Have you people all thrown your critical thinking and common sense clean out the window or what?"

(4,787 posts)that comes up from time to time. He will undoubtedly think that would cut her to the quick, by dissing her attractiveness to a fine hunk of man like him. Because lesbians, as we all know, can never be attractive!
And there was talk of an alien love child too, and by alien, I refer to the intergalactic kind. I saw of a pic of he/she/it(?) in the grocery store checkout line several eons ago.
