spoilers!
This afternoon, azurelunatic was reading Red, White, & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. Azz convinced me to put a library hold on this fluffy m/m romance novel by detailing the potentially-reelection-campaign-derailing scandal the first female US President would face the moment certain events became known. This scandal, should it materialize, was expected to be headlines for weeks.
The PR lady dressing down the President's son over this potential scandal is apparently, in the same scene, witness to the visual pun of the English prince stumbling out of the President's son's closet, halfway into a borrowed pair of boxers.
Yep. The President's son is not straight, and a visiting diplomatic-type guy got into the President's son's pants.
That's the news story the PR lady, with (to all appearance) good reason, thinks will scandalize the American public for weeks. Nothing involving breaking laws, nothing involving hurting anyone, and no expectation of anything more significant chasing it out of the news cycle in the next month, never mind the next day.
I asked how much it would cost to move to that America.

But yeah I'd like to move to that reality also. Hell, at this point in our dystopian timeline I'd settle for a president who has enough impulse control he can just read from a goddamned teleprompter. The scripted speeches for the teleprompter are bad enough; the ways in which our president manages to fuck THAT up due to his lack of impulse control are...
Yeah. Can I move to an alternate reality now, please. I'm not quite at the point where I'd roll a D20 on exactly which one, but I'm really fucking close.
