Monica Lewinsky says former President Bill Clinton should've resigned from office after affair https://trib.al/n6XprzY

Secret Service agent Buzz Patterson agrees:

I was there. She's right. This was 100% Hillary at the time. Hillary knew all along and lied about the affair as well. As soon as Bill's affair was revealed, Hillary threatened him and became the co-president. She ran the "crisis management" meetings at night in the residence. She told Bill to lie. She constructed the whole "vast right wing conspiracy" bullshit. Bill should've resigned but he hated Al Gore. It was, bar none, the longest 2-year assignment of my life. And I've been shot at a few times in anger.

BILL CLINTON & THE AF-1 FLIGHT ATTENDANT

This one truly IS "Dereliction of Duty."

We were returning late one night from a long trip to Europe on AF-1, landed at Andrews, and helicoptered on Marine One to the White House. We landed on the South Lawn at about midnight and, after ensuring the president was on his way to his residence upstairs, I headed to my bedroom in the East Wing. Shortly thereafter, my phone rang and it was the AF-1 presidential pilot. "Buzz, we have a problem," he said. Oh shit," I thought.

Apparently, Clinton had cornered a female AF-1 steward in the galley and molested her. She was young, a staff sergeant, and married with children. I knew her, liked her, and she was super sweet. Now, she was in tears. I asked the pilot what she wanted. He told me that she didn't want to be another "bimbo," she wanted to remain in the Air Force and be promotable. All she wanted was an apology. In the world of Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey, this wasn't surprising to me. It was, however terribly disappointing and sad.

So, that morning, as a young major, I had to walk to the Oval Office and tell the commander-in-chief that he needed to apologize to the young lady. I've been shot at with hot metal but this was the toughest day in my life. I remember on my way to talk with him thinking "I didn't sign up for this shit."

Two weeks later, we got the two together onboard AF-1 in the president's office and he offered a very uncontrite "half apology." He didn't care.

If anybody in the military had done that it would've been jail, expulsion, or both. It would've been Fort Leavenworth. But not for this president, not for this man. It was just another day. Yet another in my experiences working for a man with absolutely no integrity and no moral fiber.

Adam Carolla brought this up with Doctor Drew. When the Hur report dropped and Hur said he could not prosecute Biden because he would come off as a "well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory" -- in other words, they would not convict him because he appears too mentally degenerated -- the Times claimed that Hur cannot tell when someone has memory issues, only "scientists" can, "experts" say.

Memory Loss Requires Careful Diagnosis, Scientists Say A federal investigator said that President Biden had "poor memory" and "diminished faculties." But such a diagnosis would require close medical assessment, experts said.

A lengthy report by the Department of Justice on President Biden's handling of classified documents contained some astonishing assessments of his well-being and mental health.

Mr. Biden, 81, was an "elderly man with a poor memory" and "diminished faculties" who "did not remember when he was vice president," the special counsel Robert K. Hur said.

In conversations recorded in 2017, Mr. Biden was "often painfully slow" and "struggling to remember events and straining at times to read and relay his own notebook entries." So impaired was Mr. Biden that a jury was unlikely to convict him, Mr. Hur said.

Republicans were quick to pounce, some calling the president unfit for office and demanding his removal.

But while the report disparaged Mr. Biden's mental health, medical experts on Friday noted that its judgments were not based on science and that its methods bore no resemblance to those that doctors use to assess possible cognitive impairment.
In its simplest form, the issue is one that doctors and family members have been dealing with for decades: How do you know when an episode of confusion or a memory lapse is part of a serious decline?

The answer: "You don't," said David Loewenstein, director of the center for cognitive neuroscience and aging at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
The diagnosis requires a battery of sophisticated and objective tests that probe several areas: different types of memory, language, executive function, problem solving, and spatial skills and attention.

Well one thing you could do is take a cognitive health test -- which Biden conspicuously refused to do for fifteen years.

The tests, he said, determine if there is a medical condition, and if so, its nature and extent. Verbal stumbles are not proof, Dr. Loewenstein and other experts said. "Forgetting an event doesn't necessarily mean there is a problem," said Dr. John Morris, a neurology professor at Washington University in St. Louis.

No, you're not going crazy -- this is the same media which demanded Trump be removed by the 25th Amendment starting on his first day of office, and who routinely argued that Trump was crazy and unfit to serve in office.

Dr. Drew, who is a real medical doctor unlike Jill Biden, does not agree that you need "expertise" to detect obvious mental defects like poor memory or drunkeness.

Note that the media, which does not have expertise in anything, is always offering their own pig-ignorant opinions on every single story, while simultaneously telling the public that they are not capable of making even the smallest observation -- such as detecting when a man repeatedly loses his train of thought -- without "expert" guidance.

Also note the media uses their complete lack of expertise to decide which experts will be presented to the public as definitive. For example, there are thousands of doctors who will say "Of course a layman can observe that someone's memory is faulty and that they frequently lose their train of thought," but this not-an-expert-in-anything, Gina Kolata, decided to find one "expert" to say that someone failing to remember things is no sign of a poor memory and present that as the last word on the matter.

The non-expert media c*nts are picking which "experts" are right and worthy of presentation to the public, while having absolutely no training whatsoever that would permit them to sift between the competing claims of experts to determine who is right.

They are pushing all-new lies today:
