Another "Never Forget" is that if Jack Ryan hadn't tried to get his wife Jeri (y'know, the actress that played Seven of Nine) to do kinky sex shit in public sex clubs it wouldn't have been part of their divorce's custody records, which wouldn't have led to said divorce records getting unsealed when he was running against Obama for Senate, which wouldn't have led to him dropping out of the race. We basically ended up with President Obama because the Republican candidate got kink-shamed out of the running by his ex-wife.

It's weird coincidences like that that make the truth of the world stranger than fiction.
