    Maybe not the best example.
    At that time this sleezebag (and others with power) got away with a lot of sexual misconduct.
    And in his case probably rapes.
    Minimising it as him being some naughthy schoolboy and making jokes about is not really something I miss.

      I don’t want to downplay sexual misconduct, but the issues we are facing right now are orders of magnitude higher.

      You will never find a perfect point it time where life is good for and harmonious everyone. The 90s had their problems, for sure, but the USA wasn’t tearing itself apart, or bringing in and welcoming in a new wave of fascism.

        I know that wasn’t your intention, mentioned it bcs it just sounded weird and and unfortunate choice.
        " USA tearing itself apart" is the best thing that could happen to the world.
        I feel sorry for the handful of non-uniparty voters that have to suffer but as a European this feels like your country is getting a taste of its own medicine.
