Yes, of course. But the latter doesn't have nearly the same impact on a T-shirt as does "Haha Trump blew Bill Clinton".
Hate everyone focusing on "Haha Trump blew Bill Clinton" and not the fact that we have countless evidence that the entire US government is AT BEST complicit in decades of abuse if not actively doing it. Again.

Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

The "He's a hebephile not a pedophile" argument is giving immense "The A in AR-15 stands for ArmaLite, nor Assault!" energy.
Both are a distinction without a difference resulting in irreparable harm to children while the MAGA enablers think they've made a point.

As someone who has had multiple MRIs, you absolutely know what the techs are imaging before they put you in the machine, because if there is any sort of metal in the target area you *really* need to let them know beforehand since cleaning bloodstains out of the tube is NOT a good time
Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.
Reporter: Was it your brain?
Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

Our current president could not *possibly* have given Bill Clinton a blow job. That's inconceivable, and we should keep talking about how inconceivable it is.
Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

Trump cuts ties with MTG - and says he’ll back a primary challenge if the “right person” emerges. No credible Republican has floated a challenge, and Greene has easily beat opponents from both sides of the aisle. Time will tell if this encourages a serious contender to emerge.
