Why was the president getting extramarital pussy such a big deal to Americans of the 1990s?
>>18755816He was getting a little bit too optimistic about Palestinian statehood so the A-Team had to remind him who's really calling the shots here.
>>18755816By the late 90s, there was legit nothing else that people could be mad about, so this was the closest thing, crazy I know. Bob Dole even had a slogan during the 1996 election saying "Where's the outrage?"
>>18755816Because cheating is objectively evil and sociopathic.
It wasn't, which is why the whole scandal ended up costing Republicans seats in Congress, Newt Gingritch's position as speaker of the house and Slick Willy's approval rating only increased.
>>18755816Because if you can't be faithful with your wife, you can't be faithful in anything
>>18755903Really?
>>18755816Have you seen how people react to their favorite podcaster getting some pussy?
>>18755816It blew up any trust the public had in the mainstream (media industrial complex) press once it got out that they were covering for Clinton, which provided Drudge and future independent journos with an opportunity to make a career for themselves.It doesn't seem like a big deal now because everyone's following a James O'Keefe or Nick Shirley, but back then journos were quietly managed and controlled.
>>18755816When I was a kid, my parents told me that Clinton did plenty of shit worth being critical of, but that the people feigning outrage over the Monica shit were just taking an excuse to go after someone who they didn’t like. Considering those same people are just fine with the current mess in the Oval Office because they like the thing? I’d say my parents were right. Then again, maybe affairs are based if you rape the woman to them? Monica was over 18 and consented.
Conservatives back then were actually conservatives, unlike modern rightoid LARPers.
Bubba committed perjury in a civil trial over him whipping out his dick to a state employee. The judge went after him hard, and he finally pled guilty to the charges. Lost his law license, paid a fine, and is an historical lolcow because a cumstained blue dress convicted him. Some felt he should be impeached for lying under oath. Not 2/3 of the Senate, but a lot. It was great blackmail for globohomo to use on him, for sure. They would find and pay for those 2/3's, if he didn't play ball.

>>18756408It's not even true because Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh were basically the direct progenitors of the modern Republican culture warriors.
