    There is a line in an email that refers to “trump blowing bubba”.

    It’s not clear who “bubba” is, but it’s one of Clinton’s nicknames.

    More importantly though, it’s not clear that the line is intended to be taken seriously. Obviously a lot of people want it to be true though.

      It’s honestly making American liberals look as stupid as MAGA/QAnon dipshits. In no kind of reality did Donald Trump blow Bill Clinton and it’s so ridiculous that of all the things in the emails THIS is what the supposedly more sensible and intelligent left has decided to waste its energy on.

        Difference is we all know that, but we’re running with it FOX style, to make a fucking point.

          Conservative dipshits do not understand “points” and fascists are just happy you’re making memes instead of throwing punches.

      The line is about Putin having pictures of Donnie blowing Bubba which implies Russian blackmail.

      Yes, Donnie is Trump and Bubba is Clinton and it is possible that is is just dark humor but if so their delivery sucks.

        Hmm yeah I knew that other commenter who insisted everyone was taking it as a joke but pretending it was literal was full of shit… Anyway.

        How are you to assess their delivery? You’re not (presumably) their friend. The fact that it doesn’t come of as humorous to an external reader shouldn’t be a surprise - or shall we analyse some of your texts without context :P

        Someone else put forward the completely plausible scenario of a photo of Trump in a position where it kind of looks like he’s sucking off Clinton, which became an in-joke. Is that so unbelievable to you?

        This is a case of those opposed to trump being completely credulous because it suits their beliefs, and noone would be taking it seriously if it were someone more aligned with them - which in that case would be very reasonable.

            Nothing useful to say, then. It’s not surprising that you’re not really able to think critically about what I’ve said given your inability to think critically about an email.
