Which is why the MAGA cultists and their false god doesn't faze me because they want to revert the US to the period of time I was born in and, well, been there, lived that already. America was great back then; we had the best education system in the world, our ability to grow foods, make building materials, etc., was unmatched in the world... until politicians and lobbyist groups started fucking with everything and now, we're a mere shadow of our former greatness and with a POTUS who is doing a great job of trashing what's left of our greatness. Republicans were assholes in the 1950s and they're still assholes in 2025 and at every turn, they've tried to turn back the clock on America and like doing so can recapture what life was life here when, nope, all they really want to do is recapture the moments and other things that made RWAs rich and at the expense of everyone who wasn't rich then... and now. And they still haven't realized or understood that there's no going back to the way it was. As I just saw in a news story, "Hate Doesn't Make America Great" and it never did but the cultists believe that it does and, well, it's one of those things that I understand but I don't understand because the mindset defies both logic and common sense. They don't seem to understand how certain things work, i.e., if you take something away, you have to replace it with something that'll serve the purpose of the thing you took away. Like in cooking and you have foods that have fat, salt, sugar, and gluten removed but many of them don't put anything back, so you wind up with foods that are unappetizing to look at and they taste horrible. These sorry motherfuckers want to take America backwards and without replacing the things they're removing from our society with something that, again and in fact, will make things better for all of us which, by the way, the RWAs don't give a fuck about. All this tariff shit happening - and as I've been reading, it's illegal because only Congress has the power to levy tariffs but, oh, yeah - the law doesn't apply to him - is making somebody rich and at the expense of Americans everywhere. They've been wanting to cut and/or eliminate all of the things the government does to help its citizens because they want that money for themselves and they figure that we don't need the money or the programs it supports and... this is no different that the shit they used to do in the 1950s and forcing America to have to recover from Republicans making us take two steps back at every time they have the political clout. I didn't worry about that all that much back in the day and I'm not going to worry about it all that much now and, once more, especially where my being bisexual is concerned.
KD23: Well said, my friend; you indeed have a clear view and a firm grip on just what (and who) is destroying our country, along with its values. We KNOW what is now "going down", for certain.......but, WHO will STOP It......and HOW? If only those who are SUPPOSED to be WORKING for US, the American people, would grow a BACKBONE as well as a set of BALLS.....
God I love reading this thread. It makes me laugh. Doesn't matter who is president, senator or local dog catcher. All the shit stays the same. Look at history over the last thousand years or so. Look at probation Government tried to stop alcohol and all it did was make bootleggers rich. Nearly everything that comes out of DC is nothing but hot air. The affordable health care is bullshit. When I tried to get it my yearly deductible was going to be $5000 a year before it would even pay for a doctor visit. Yeah like that's affordable. I'm 73 years old and the only thing that has effected me is the raising of the standard dedication for income taxes. I now don't have to keep track of all the money I spend on the things I used to. Nothing much is going to change and 20 years from now no one will care. And why do some people have to YELL all the time?
Well, I guess the old time-honored saying is indeed true, after all........... ".......the more things change, the more they remain the same........." 'nuff said..............
It’s not looking good saying fuck due process and fuck the Supreme Court. Hopefully the alarm bells are ringing for enough people. I don’t like to overreact but at this point It’s safe to say trump is a dictator and should be impeached
He was impeached...fucking twice! And if the system worked he'd at least not have his fat smelly baboon ass in the White House anymore. But Congress is useless now to do what's right on top of not being able to put party aside and work together to find solutions to benefit all Americans. It boggles my mind! At least the Supreme Court shows signs of having some balls these days.
To say that Trump should be impeached (AGAIN!) and is a dictator is indeed the understatement of the century. I actually feel my stomach turn and turn sour whenever I see that pompous, overbearing, bigoted, racist "DIC" ("DICKtator-in-Chief") on the news; ditto that TOTALLY f****d up little toadie of a troll, Elon Musk, another immoral cretin I cannot stomach. If the "Powers-that-Be" had BACKBONE and BALLS, Trump would have been already rotting in jail, where he belongs..........no matter how you slice it, it's sickening as all hell, and a stinging slap in the face to our Founding Fathers.........
Earlier, our good friend KDaddy23 stated that, no matter WHAT the current political climate is at the time, gays (and bisexuals) will always have many challenges and obstacles to battle and overcome. HOWEVER, during the Obama/Biden administrations, we all at least KNEW that our leaders were "on our side", and we would not be looked down upon, or discriminated against, at least as far as these fine gentlemen were concerned. Today, in 2025, well, you already know what hypocriscy and "PUB" ("Pure Unadulterated Bullshit") that we are dealing with. A damn disgrace, no matter how you slice it.........
GG57, any man who isn't heterosexual has always been looked down at, reviled, and discriminated against and regardless to what political party was running the show in DC. Always. There have always been challenges and obstacles. Always. Not because of politics but because of religious beliefs and dogma. Trump isn't going to don his glove encrusted with Infinity Stones and eliminate all non-heterosexuals with a snap of his fingers a la Thanos. and no matter how homophobic he is but, in truth, he doesn't give a fuck - he uses homophobia to rile up his so-called Christian cultists and to make them believe that he is one of them and is on their side. He isn't. Everything he's done has been ploy after ploy to make RWA even richer. Rumor has it that he wants to make America white again by repealing the Civil Rights Act and any other laws that prohibits discrimination. What we should be worried about is a government that appears to be doing little or nothing to stop him from doing what he's doing since, duh, none of this benefits Americans or America outside of the RWAs. Now, having said all of this, you have a choice: You can let this bullshit bother you and otherwise affect your life - and your sex life (if you have one) or you can choose not to buy into the bullshit and keep trying to live your life as best as you can, get your dick hard, and let others make it soft again - and just like bi- and homosexuals have been doing all along. And hope our government can get him out of office before he really fucks everything up and irreparably so.
KD23: Agreed 100%. Hopefully, miraculously, BALLS and BACKBONE will make a LONG-OVERDUE return to Washington, and we can "dethrone the dictator", get his fat carcass behind bars, and TRY to rebuild what he has already so wantonly destroyed. In a perfect world, Vance and Musk should also be in his same cell block; they should ALL be behind bars, before inflicting any more damage upon our already weary, divided nation............
Yeah, I'm thinking that everyone in his administration should be impeached, removed, fired, whatever it'll take to get them out right along with him. Meanwhile, I'm still bisexual and I was just recalling a moment when I was giving a new guy his first male blowjob...
KD23: In a perfect world, Trump and his entire coven of warlocks should all be incarcerated at Alcatraz, after its being re-opened as a Federal maximum-security facility, or, deported to some godforsaken nation where dictators are both welcomed and worshipped............
Let me rephrase this: In an INTELLIGENT world Trump would NEVER have been elected. STILL finding it hard to fathom that we're stuck with this orange-headed lowlife AGAIN...........
That would imply that we are less intelligent than we should be. So many of us thought the choices were simple: Elect the Black woman over the traitor/convicted felon. And we elected the criminal. He fucked around and let a lot of Americans die because he didn't believe in COVID-19. Then tried to overthrow the government. So now, he gets to finish fucking us all in the ass and we're just lying here and taking it ad, yes, not all that intelligent of us.
KD23: Sobering to consider, but, recall how Trump INSISTED Covid was "fake news? Had Biden been in office then, it is a safe guess that many thousands who contracted the disease might have survived........but, again, true to form, ANY news that Trump does NOT like (or that does not show him in a favorable light) is automatically classified "fake news".................what bullshit......
How many thousands of Americans died from the virus that he kept insisting was fake news? That alone should have told those who put him in office the first time that he didn't give a fuck about America and its citizens. And then we voted him back in because, as I keep saying, those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? Yeah... we fucking did that.
KD23: So much for taking the the advice of a certain old saying: ".......you learn from your mistakes........." Right, that's why we elected that orange-headed DICK-tator to be our President a SECOND time......talk about the "dumbing down" of America. My one nephew has an 11-year old son; I truly cringe what the country is going to be like, by the time he turns 18......
It's not so much of a saying as it is something we're all told we should learn to do: Learn from our mistakes. It's not that you make mistakes because everyone does; it's what you do after the mistake is made that will make all the difference and, hopefully, you won't make the same mistake again. It's also why we learn the lesson of the scorpion, too, so that we don't make fatal mistakes and, well, you see what happens when we don't learn from our mistakes and give the scorpion a ride even though, in the end, it's going to stab us after it lies and says that it won't.
KD23: Well said. They also say that we never stop learning until we pass on; seems to me that far too many of us go through life's journey without even embracing the simple "do's" and "don'ts" of human existence. And, for too many, they come to the end of life's road, and learn what they SHOULD have learned, far too late to do them the least bit og good........many times, it would seem. "simplicity" is just to elusive to grasp.......
