Great now im imagining a timeline where bill was 100% honest about it in a congressional hearing "Yeah I solicited a blowjob from monica, im one of the most famous and wealthiest politicians of the era. Spoilers, all us rich politicians like to get away with stuff we shouldn't be doing, and the system is rigged to let us do it. So, what are you gonna do about it?"
Or even better:
"Hilldawg and I have been ethically non-monogamous since reading The Ethical Slut and I don't really understand why America should be brought into our personal business. Monica is regularly our third and we both filed paperwork with White House HR before any physical interaction to avoid suspicion of bias towards her job performance"
I mean if it's my dream timeline, I wanna make it fun.
Photos from early in their relationship definitely had the requisite amount of fuck-mojo
The young Clintons could both get it, ngl
I've always wondered why they stuck it out. It seems they both have different ideas about physical intimacy, so why stay? Is money worth years of being unloved and unhappy. It makes no sense to me.
I don't think they're unloved. I genuinely think more politicians than you think have "arrangements." Even if not, infidelity happens, and I'm glad they worked through it
