KD23: Talk about the nation being: "stuck between a rock and a hard place".....we can't go forward, and we can't go back. In the back of my head, I keep on picturing a miracle from the Almighty Himself, that the degenerate orange-headed SOB is removed from office, and thrown into the slammer where he should have been put months ago. Ain't gonna happen, I know, but, what the hell, it IS a consoling thought, if nothing else........
We can go forward but, first, we need to deal with the current situation. Going back serves no purpose and negates all of the good shit we did to get to where we were on 19 January 25. I suspect that after a stupidly slow start, moves are being made to correct a grievous error on the country's part by creating the current situation. Wait and see. In the meantime, keep being bi or gay because you should never, ever, let anyone steal your joy.
KD23: Agreed 100%. NO ONE (especially the government) has the right to tell its citizens HOW (or how NOT) to live their lives; this is a VERY personal matter, and is NO ONE'S business but their own. This is what happens when you have a "Dictator-in-Chief" residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, instead of a a TRUE President. So much for the God-given "pursuit of happiness".............
The pursuit of happiness was never God-given; it was a right granted by the Constitution; God gave us self-determination and a few other things after the Garden of Eden debacle. You'd have to read all of the Constitution - and right along with The Bill of Rights - to see what the government can and cannot do and to see if we truly have a right to privacy. We are guaranteed "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" but, as it seems to be, the pursuit of happiness doesn't mean what you say it is; it's what he who has the gold says it is or the remnants of the Moral Majority who says that you can pursue happiness as long as you do it the way we tell you to - and anything resembling homosexuality isn't the way we want you doing anything... you heathen perverted sinner. At the same time, what you do behind closed doors is your business as long as it's not illegal and all that good stuff. You could be spanking your sub's bottom like he's a rented mule and unless he calls the cops and has you arrested for assault and battery, well, you pervert, that's your business and we don't wanna know about it - but don't let us find out about it. Or, well and truly, it's like a sergeant told us during a weekend safety briefing: It's only illegal if you get caught - so don't get caught. So as long as that sub bottom you're spanking is legally old enough to consent to sex and where the sex is taking place, you're good. Not old enough and we find out about it? That's gonna be your ass, pervert, and have fun trying to survive in genpop. That asshole in the White House actually doesn't give a fuck but he is about not just rocking the boat but trying to sink it for everyone except him and the RWA and, fuck those MAGA fools; they got conned into doing their part - voting him into the office again - so their services are no longer needed unless he wants to start even more shit that will detract and distract from what he's really doing... and he's doing it because he declared himself above the law and, hilariously, it's illegal for him to do that. But now we're back to what you, me, or anyone else should be focused on: His antics or living our lives the best way we know how to. All of the shit he's done and is currently doing has not changed the fact that I'm bisexual.
kD23: Once again, I agree with you all the way. Still hard to fathom that we have a "President" in the White House who is a convicted felon, a liar, a cheater, a philanderer, a sneak, a bully, a liar, a fraud, a pompous braggart, a rabid snake-oil salesman, an all-out asshole. He's obviously illiterate as all hell, barely has a grasp of decent grammar, and is full of more hot air than a Zeppelin, not to mention a walking monument to intolerance and ingorance. Dammit, NEVER thought we'd see all this toxic shit going down...........
Sadly, the Founding Fathers couldn't see this happening to us in 2025 from where they sat in the 1700s. It's like how we misinterpret the 2nd Amendment and saying that we have the right to have a gun when that's not what it says nor what it meant. The SCOTUS totally reinterpreted that section of the 14th Amendment to allow him to really face charges of treason and to be able to campaign when, clearly, the 14th Amendment doesn't allow it. It's bothersome that the SCOTUS is supposed to protect the Constitutional laws, not change the tenets of the Constitution itself. We really need to get him and everyone associated with him out of office so we can get back to the America we're supposed to be as well as the poster children for freedom and democracy.
A like-minded buddy of mine (during an earlier phone conversation) played a song he had found (on the 'net), a parody of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight": ".....in the White House, the mighty White House, the Liar sleeps tonight........" Too damn funny, and right on the mark! (Of course, I was thinking of happy-go-lucky meerkat "Timone" singing the tune in "The Lion King"; Obama would have made for a damn good "Mufasa", while Trump would have been MORE than convincing as the slick, double-dealing, vindictive, power-hungry, evil-minded, untrustworthy "Scar")............. "Hukuna Matata"........"it means no worries, for the rest of your days........" If only it were as easy to adopt "Hakuna Matata" as our "live it every day" philosophy.....
KD23: Well, as you are well aware of by now, circumstances prevent me from adopting that "Hakuta Mata" motto. HOWEVER, I DO NOT blame others for who I am, what, I am, or why things are the way they are. I DO enjoy may hobbies, pastimes, and, what I DON'T worry about is my sexuality being "outed"; my family has known since 1995, and, as I have no friends locally, or do any socializing, my sexuality is PRIVATE. I DO know that I am the equal of ANY straight man, and, again, make no apologies for what my sexuality dictates about me. In all honesty, I vastly prefer my fantasies to the "realities" of the world, and there are many "positive negatives" I indeed value. Being celibate my entire life, I do not have to be concerned with: Contracting an STD. Being stalked or bashed (once was MORE than enough) No worries about having a "partner" suddenly decide to stab me in the back, for no reason. No worries about "my significant other", without any warning, ditching me out of the blue, for someone else. I have long ago admitted, that, even though I am a very strong and resilient man (character-wise), I am far too emotionally vunerable, and I've always been honest and open enough, and man enough to openly admit it. I'm just the man I am, and am not going to change at this late date, nor do I have any desire to jeopardize my quiet, peaceful, solitary lifestyle......it fits me QUITE well, and NO complaints!
You wistfully say, "If only..." and I rhetorically asked the questions because I happen to know that you can... if you really wanted to. And, who really worries about those things? But I guess worrying about them is better than worrying about the crazy motherfucker running the country into the ground. I'll say it again: I would never let anyone steal my joy. Not some demented son-of-a whore in the White House; not anyone who has ever bashed me or try to make me into something I'm not and wouldn't ever want to be; the only thing that will stop me being who and what I am is... dying and staying dead. Otherwise, it's don't worry, be happy. Being bisexual while MAGAs are running around like deranged cultists isn't really all that different from any other time our country's politics have gone off the rails for some reason or another. I was bisexual when we protested American involvement in Vietnam; I was bisexual when Reaganomics fucked up a lot of shit and a lot of lives; I was bisexual when both George Bushes were in office and the younger one, well, there was a time when I thought there would never be a worse president than he was... and there's someone worse than he ever was. I've been bisexual through the good and bad times so while all this shit has changed and keeps changing erratically, I have been consistently - and happily - bisexual.
KD23: Always does my heart good to hear of someone like yourself who truly-and-honestly is HAPPY, regarding both their sexuality as well as their overall life in general. More power to ya, my friend......keep on keepin' on!
And, as far as that orange-headed demented asshole at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue goes, he's got more bumbling clowns in his fucked-up entourage than Ringling Brothers! Vance, Musk, Kennedy, Santos, etc......at least the CLOWNS in the circus are SUPPOSED to be ENTERTAINING!
Just heard on the news that Trump's doctors gave him a clean bill of health. dictating that he is fit to run our country(!!) Something is telling me, though, that a MENTAL examination was NOT included in all this?
They're lying, of course; he probably caught wind of a move to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office as being unfit. So, of course, he's not going to allow the medical people to tell the truth about his health and especially whatever signs of mental instability they've noticed.
KD23: I was thinking much along the same lines; do you think that the doctors would ACTUALLY find him unfit for office, and then ADMIT it? One look at Donald "Jelly Belly" Trump (thanks, Jimmy Kimmel!) tells you that a LONG-OVERDUE gym membership is pending. Wouldn't be at all surprised if the docs involved got paid off quite generously to give the "JiC" (Jackoff-in-Chief") a bogus clean bill of health........with this major-league asshole, and his equally fucked-up cohorts, NOTHING whatsoever would surprise me in the slightes............
They either lie about the results or they're fired, and his MAGA Gestapo will be in their asses (and definitely not in that good way). Would they report that he's unfit? Sure, they would if they were guaranteed protection from the uber-major hissy fit he'd have once the 25th got invoked. If word got out that he didn't pass the physical, the sharks who want him out of the office would be on him like flies on shit; our enemies - the old ones and the new ones he's made - will take that as a sign of America being weak and vulnerable - and might get bold enough to attack American interests.
KD23: Again, if the "Powers That Be" in DC would FINALLY grow a backbone, a set of balls, and REMEMBER that THEY are there to SERVE the AMERICAN PEOPLE, and to STAND UP to this goddamn orange-headed bully, MAYBE we would FINALLY start to SEE some "fighting spirit", which America was once noted for. "Castration" is indeed a word has several definitions......and, ever since January, there, indeed, has been castration on a monumental political scale in Washington.......and it sure ain't pretty.........
Further on the "GDP" (Great Degenerate Pumpkin's" medical exam.......... As expected, Jimmy Kimmel last evening TORE into this with fangs bared! It was all about the doctor's glowing over his "fine overall health", which set Jimmy off on Trump being overweight, his penchant for junk food, his ability to reduce stress, etc. Jimmy also made this remark: "....well, no wonder Trump is in such good health.......look at all the excercise he gets hopping in and out of his golf cart......"(!!) Jimmy also suggested that Trump's next annual be shown on NATIONAL TELEVISION, so that we ALL could see what REALLY was happening........this broadcast, of course, would NOT be for the squeamish, certainly......
When the government needs to act on the behalf of the people, it is notoriously slow to do so - they forgot that they work for the people and not the other way around. They're starting to fight back but as expected, slowly because they're more worried about their own asses than ours.
