re: Has Anyone Watched the Entire Bill Clinton Deposition?
Posted by RoyalWe on 3/2/26 at 9:59 pm to Godfather1
I got the transcript and put it into ChatGPT. Some selective commentary:
Cliffs on Clinton’s Epstein deposition:
• Didn’t have a close relationship
• Didn’t know Epstein visited the White House 17 times
• Flew on his plane but it was “for charity”
• Never saw anything inappropriate
• Last contact was conveniently 2003
• Never intervened with DOJ
• Doesn’t recall most awkward details
If you’ve watched Clinton operate for 30 years, this was vintage Slick Willie.
Nothing explosive. Nothing incriminating. Just:
“I don’t recall.”
“Not to my knowledge.”
“I have no memory of that.”
Flat denials where it matters (sex on plane), fog everywhere else.
The man is a political survivor. He’s not going to give you a Perry Mason moment. He gave exactly what a seasoned operator gives in a deposition: zero admissions, maximum ambiguity, and plausible deniability on everything uncomfortable.
You can believe him. You can not believe him.
But nobody can say he doesn’t know how to lawyer up a narrative.

D-Generation X has two words for you.
Relax. I’m not drawing battle lines here.
If you were loading from cassette, fighting DOS memory limits, dialing into BBS boards, and hand-editing config files, then you were in that early wave too. That’s the only distinction I was making.
This isn’t 50s vs 40s vs millennials.
It’s about whether your first experience with computing was “figure it out or it doesn’t work” versus “click it and it works.”
Plenty of people across multiple age groups hit that early phase.
We’re arguing over inches on a timeline that moved at light speed.

quote:Sure, computers existed when you were growing up. That’s not the point.
That bitch saw personal computing come around too.
The point is whether you experienced computing as a finished product… or as a moving target.
I didn’t just “use” computers. I loaded programs from cassette. I typed commands at a blinking cursor. I tweaked AUTOEXEC.BAT so games would run. I dabbled in machine language when that was still something a curious kid could realistically poke at. That wasn’t exotic — it was normal if you were into it.
We watched the shift from hobbyist boxes to mainstream machines. From dial-up modems to broadband. From command line to GUI. From local disks to global internet.
By the time most 40-somethings came online, the rough edges were already sanded down. Windows existed. The internet was packaged. Plug-and-play mostly worked. You didn’t have to fight the machine just to make it do something interesting.
That doesn’t make your experience lesser. It makes it different.
Some of us grew up when computing was still a frontier.
Others grew up when it was infrastructure.
There’s a difference between arriving at the party… and helping wire the building. You're welcome.

I count myself lucky that I was old enough when personal computing happened and have seen the evolution over the decades. Many cannot truly appreciate it because they weren't engaged in it.

What's funny is that Tiger Droppings reminds me a lot of old school dial-up C-Net BBS sites because they were local. You'd have to wait until the phone line was open to log-in so one user online at a time. I used to run a local system called the Asylum. Good times.

I still remember my 300 baud HESmodem. Had to disconnect the cable from the handset and plug it into the modem. My parents wondered why the pigtail cable kept getting damaged. When there was some software trickery that got that bitch up to 450 baud I thought I was the shite.
I'll be there, but I won't be acting like an a-hole.

It’s so fricking nice to have men of courage and actual substance in charge of important things again.

I guess you have more important things to panic about than your penis cough. Good luck.

That was kind of my point...
The Screwtape Letters is going to be at the Baton Rouge River Center Theater on March 14th. If were going to be in town, I would check it out.
I just watched the video and, for me, it highlights that Lewis’ “Law of Human Nature” is Romans 7 in plain English.
We know right from wrong.
We just don’t consistently do right.
Romans 7:15 (NLT): "I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate."
That’s not ignorance — that’s brokenness. And that’s why Christianity isn’t just moral advice. It’s redemption.

quote:Matthew 7:3-5 comes to mind.
Out of curiosity, does the Pope fly commercial?
3 “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? 4 How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.
It's all good. I enjoy them myself and only recently decided to participate in them, trying to steer them toward actual discussion without the ad hominem. I fail sometimes. I wonder when Christians attack other Christians where they're coming from. I don't mind disagreements, but name-calling doesn't help anyone and seems a bit ironic to be using in a Christian discussion.
