When America had a president with a brain and had consensual extramarital sex with someone.
Instead of a brain dead orange bean bag for a leader who committed multiple sex offenses and is linked to offenses of rape and pedophilia.
Uh...Bill had a lot of frequent flier miles to and from Epstein Island.

Neither of them should have been punished? The joke is that America lost its goddamnmotherfucking mind over this. America is the joke.
Remember Gary Hart? He had to drop out of politics because of a rumor of an affair.
Meanwhile... Margaret Trudeau is doing blow with the Rolling Stones at Studio 52.

I mean, with that power imbalance I certainly wouldn't call that affair consensual.
Last I heard, Monica Lewinsky does, and her opinion matters more than any of our.

Consent in an imbalanced power dynamic is not always recognized as consent.
Sure, the girls that Louis CK jerked off in front of didn't scream and run out of the room, but they WERE placed in an inappropriate situation with someone who held the keys to their career. And what did we as a society do? We lambasted him for being weird and not understanding that dynamic, and his career has yet to really recover. He didn't rape anybody, no, but he sure did abuse his power over those people. Are these similar situations, in your opinion?
The women with Louis CK said it was not consensual. Monica said she didn't understand how inappropriate it was, but it was consensual. That is the difference here.

To the benefit of absolutely fucking nobody; especially Monica.
Like not only did you guys embarrass yourself on the national stage, give fuel to the right wing media apparatus, subject Monica to a life of infamy, undermine the progress of your own administration; you guys accomplished fuck all for real victims of sexual violence ... or else why would you be bringing up Louis CK?

No wonder he looks so happy.

Can we not make joke about Monica? She got horribly treated by the public while he is the only one who should have been punished.
She is fighting bullying and she is pretty cool for that.
Why should he be punished? Nothing either one of them did was illegal. It was consensual private behavior that none of us should ever have heard about.

Trump and Clinton both bad. Trump objectively worse, but both bad.

Such a silly scandal. Let people enjoy sex. Sure he was technically her boss but it was fully consensual and neither side regrets it.
Compare to some recent American presidents....
This smells like blue-no-matter-who mental gymnastics.

They did.

Compared to her? Not at all.

Combine that with the fact that someone commiting adultery should be disqualifying for them becoming president.
Look, I get that all the social norms have been completely ground to dust, but character does in fact matter. We should want a good person who refuses to cheat on their wife as a leader.
Reducing this to just a fun fling because you like the guy is the same thing the hypocrites who support Trump and all of his scandals do.
If he's willing to betray his wife for a quicky from an intern, why would I trust him with anything else? For the person who's leading the entire nation the bar should be higher.
Also not to mention that he was 49 and she was 22. If this was anyone less "likeable" than Bill we'd all be calling him an absolute creep. He was pushing 50, and she could barely drink. And he was her boss.
And he wasn't even fucking satan.

A quick Google search is telling me she now considers it a gross abuse of power. The #metoo movement helped her reframe her understanding of consent.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman" - lying means nothing?

She could not give full consent given the power imbalance. She does regret her role. Please consider looking into how she has reframed her experience since the #metoo movement.

So the American public has the right to know about the president's every sexual experience?
Frankly, I don't want to know. Especially with a pervy pedophile like Trump.
