Milo and POTUS
Sep 3, 2017

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Yet the country collectively places the blame squarely on her shoulders

Can't Monica Lewinsky sue Clinton? He pretty much ruined her career regardless of what profession she pursues.
Hardly just Clinton to blame - Linda Tripp, Ken Starr, every late night host, the FBI, the media, all treated her like poo poo.

Can we even call it a mistake? If she did the "smart" thing and refused Bill Clinton she absolutely would have faced repercussions for that refusal. Monica deserved so much better than that.

Uh she pursued him. I was around then, read everything about it as an adult- she had a crush which became a love/hate thing. She initially thought they may have had a future together. I haven't ever read anything that sounds like coercion (besides the obvious power dynamic which makes him very much in the wrong.)

It was a mistake many young women make including myself- getting involved with a very bad guy or entering an obviously toxic relationship.

Hers went very public. :(

Pursuing an obviously Bad News relationship is like something every young person does, and learning from it is part of growing as a person

hers just happened to be the president, and because people are trash, they treated her like poo poo for it

I feel so bad for Monica but I also really admire and respect her for the way she's handled it

she's funny and she is a serious anti-bullying advocate and that is extremely cool and good and you should watch her ted talk if you haven't

e: that whole scandal is where I learned the word "intern"

and "semen"

growing up in the 90s and 2000s was a real weird time

He was the president of the United States, one of the most powerful men in the world. She may have started with the crush, but if she backed out she would have suffered every bit as much as she did now, if not more so. Powerful men have a bad habit of getting a bit testy when they don't get their way.

I'm just clarifying that in her own statement she said "I didn't notice the coercion, aside from the coercion" which struck me as a "missing the forest for the trees" kind of thing. Monica may have initiated it, but she didn't get much of a choice in the matter after that.

My mom gave me a candy dish and while I accepted it with what I hope was grace and gratitude, I also really don't eat a lot of candy. So I thought it would be funny to go to the dollar store and buy some of these candies and just keep them in this dish on an end table, never to be eaten by anyone, just as something to look at.

Well, a couple of months ago I adopted a new cat, and she thinks these candies make delightful toys, and so long story short, I now have these strawberry candies turning up in the damnedest places. The prophecy has been fulfilled.
