Well, on the other hand, maybe don't ..... Those NY's resolutions always seem to last an hour or so, and then forgotten. At least mine often get forgotten sooner than later 😉

So we're going hungry with just that appetizer to tide us over ??? <<<filthiest of grins >>>

For those affected by the high prices (due to the tariffs, among other issues), the current situation is very "real". Going hungry is "real". Losing one's home is "real", and there's only one place where the blame resides. Closing of rural hospitals, due to government actions is "real". Children who have zero say in how the government's inaction creates unnecessary, serious hardship is "real". I could go on, but you get the idea.

What a fantastic representation of The Life. You have real talent - have you been published yet?

Being a Liberal myself, I was of course gratified by the across-the-board ascension to elected office by the Dems/Liberals. As I see it, this portends the beginning of a potential belittlement of the current Administration, and all it entails. From the East coast to the West coast, citizens have roundly rejected the current administration's policies. Perhaps the fever is broken, and healing can finally begin? Too soon to tell yet, but hope is afoot in the land, and that's a good sign.

You make a good point: Maybe there's something in the water there ... 😇

Welcome new members ! We're glad you're here, and look forward to hearing more from each of you !

Despite having paid into the Social Security Administration their entire working lives (via required withholding from their paychecks), some retirees are, and some aren't. For those that aren't receiving their earned SS benefits, that's robbing them of their duly-earned benefits, not some governmental give-away. If we can give away 40 B to a South American country, then we should damn-well give SS recipients what they've earned as well. SS is the very last thing from largess, it's the government keeping it's end of the bargain. Ripping off Granny & Grampa of what they earned, or promised enhanced purchasing power such as food stamps is beyond bullshit.

I disagree. The manner in which she would have been expected to assume the office of the presidency is explicitly enshrined in the Constitution - the highest authority in our government. The issue of should President Biden have stood down earlier, is an interesting one, however it's also tangential to this issue. The entire purpose of having a Vice President is that there is a duly elected official waiting in the wings, just in case the President is unable - for whatever reason - to fulfill those duties. She was duly elected to the position, with every voter recognizing that in the event a President is disabled in some way, the Vice President becomes President. This arrangement is clearly written into the Constitution, which is the highest authority in the US. For a historical example: President Lincoln was shot, and Andrew Johnson was sworn in as President less than 24 hours later (Lincoln didn't die immediately, as we all know). Had Harris said anything other than she would fulfill her Constitutional duty to her best ability, that would have been something to criticize. The circumstances of her ascent to the Presidency were a potential occurrence that every duly elected Vice President accepts. The fact that she ran a truncated race to become elected to the Presidency on her own is tangential to the issue at hand.

I'm certainly not against a more equitable (population-wise) distribution of health care opportunities. When a state-sponsored health care program is controlled for a balance of cost-to-benefits ratio, every participating citizen knows well in advance what their own situation happens to be, and could become. That said, when a state-sponsored health care program, with citizens suddenly denied their earned, expected care, is simply taken away, that is indefensible. Food stamps, for example, is something the less fortunate have depended on for years. Regardless of whether one believes it is a faulty program or a good one, the fact remains that citizens have become accustomed to that program to help the less fortunate keep food on the table. Yanking that out of the clear blue sky is nothing less than cruel and indefensible. Regarding medical care, when decades of promised health care assistance is yanked, that leaves the ill, the elderly in an undeserved situation. I'm assuming the system in South Korea would fit the above parameters, and the onus of maintaining that system falls upon the current government's shoulders. An established governmental assistance program of any type cannot simply be halted, simply because the government decides to spend money on something else. That's nothing short of an abomination.

Hardly, but if you'd like another suggestion, how about two-faced (as though one isn't enough !) I wouldn't trust her farther than the tips of that bottle-blonde hair. That's true, but I doubt it was of her own making. Virtually all political campaigns begin to prepare, settle on an agenda, gather support, all of that many months before the campaign gets into full swing. She had a fraction of that amount of time. Frankly, I wouldn't have blamed her at all for refusing, but she was a sitting V.P., and she had no choice in the matter. The utter chaos that resulted is demonstrated daily, but it's not her fault. Harris wouldn't have considered tariffs for an instant. She wouldn't be cutting off food stamps for the needy. She wouldn't be tearing down the East Wing to build a Lord-alone-how-expensive ballroom . She wouldn't have sent paramilitary soldiers into cities across the country, to arrest and deport whoever they could. She possesses more intelligence than twenty trumps.

I did, and read it shortly thereafter. I voted for her, and proudly so. That lady is more than capable of being President, and if the "loving shepherds" of a thoroughly decent, but fading man hadn't been so pushy in trying to maintain his Presidency, we wouldn't be in the mess we're currently in. But, it's election day in many parts of the country, so by tonight we should have a better situation. The "government" can't afford to keep food on the table for the poor, disabled, but that "government" can afford to send paramilitary troops into our cities, arresting/jailing/deporting as many non-Caucasians as they can manage to grab off the streets. Occasionally, a "thumbs down" is actually taken as a compliment.

What about the elderly, the indigent, those with health problems, and the plethora of other issues old folks are afflicted with? How are those issues addressed by the government? I can understand how those who can work, but choose not to could be not included, but are the retired seniors, after a lifetime of contributing, they're cut off as well?

For me, the thing about gloryholes is, they remove all the extraneous visuals, allowing one to concentrate only on that which is important: the cock and/or the hole. Maybe the guy on the other side eats a little too much, doesn't get enough exercise ... maybe he doesn't fit one's idealized notion of a cumdump ... maybe this or maybe that isn't quite "perfect" enough. But what counts is his cock or his hole, and gloryholes remove all the visuals that may not measure up in our fantasies, and allow us to visualize whatever we find burning hot in our own minds. As long as the booth-dividers are of thin enough plywood, guys can fantasize whatever makes them crave the cock/load the most.

There are a number of social-service agencies around that offer hiv-preventative medications (as well as the lesser bugs). One highly-regarded agency is the "Mistr" program,(intentionally misspelled), which anyone can apply for. They'll want some financial information, of course, since their entire purpose is to save the health care for those that actually need it. They send the pills in the mail, and provide a monthly testing kit that is mailed back for their testing purposes. And, for most, it's completely free.

and I love you back - all of you load-hungry bottoms. I do "get" it - we Tops have what you crave, and you bottoms have what we need. I call that a win/win all the way around. That's probably true, but the more interesting question would be ... WHY ? Tops would be a really pissed off bunch of guys if there weren't bottoms in love with hard raw cock to breed them, over and over and over again. If Tops really looked down their noses at cumdumps, they wouldn't interact with them, and certainly wouldn't breed them. Tops honor, respect, and uphold that which they crave. Period. If it weren't for cumdumps, we Tops would be one damn crabby lot. Let's face it: any guy can fuck other guys; it's those that need, crave, and go get topcock breeding their holes - cock after cock after cock - that are the most-needed guys.

I don't see a response doo-dad for a hand held up high, so ... It's not really a physical thing (meaning, breeding a previously cum-filled hole), it's the fact that I'm rutting in other TopPigs loads, which confirms for me that the bottom is indeed addicted to offering up his hole to any cock that wants it. These are the kind of bottoms that I find the most exciting, since they're not talking a good line, they're actually living their greatest fantasies, their most foundational truths, and they love themselves fiercely for all of it. That's what I both respect the most, and thus, celebrate the most.

and thank YOU, blackrobe, for your addition to the conversation. I'll gladly grant you (and everyone else) that it's hardly the easiest goal to accomplish - particularly given the cultural taboos re: who we are, our truths, all that. I realize that I was one of the lucky ones, in that I met my life-partner at a tubs, where we just so happened to be servicing either a cock or a hole, literally shoulder to shoulder. The potential issue of one of us claiming they "didn't approve of wanton raw sex" would have been laughable in that circumstance. You address "ageism", and properly so. It's an unfortunate fact that the younger crowd seems to always get the most attention, and that's probably the default circumstance. That issue is widespread, even across-the-board regarding sexual attractiveness. That facet, however, (attractiveness) is fleeting, as every guy already knows. Maybe that's why some younger guys avoid a committed relationship with a not-that-young a guy, thinking that only younger guys are truly "hot". By the time this type of gay guy figures it out, he's often on the edge of becoming seen as an "older" guy. That's very well said. It is odd how (seemly few) young guys simply can't see beyond their next birthday. Sadly, it doesn't occur to some young guys that experience, skill, is worthy of consideration, particularly if they're unable to consider their future. Posting about this seemingly universal concern will at least help the younger guys to - maaaybe - think a bit as well as revel in their sexual libertinism. What is, simply is. Please don't allow yourself to become melancholy; we don't live forever, so grab everything you can, and try to be satisfied with a slightly-reduced diet. That sweet hole of yours might bitch a little, but - what is, just is.

I too am surprised by what appears to be a streak of courage running down her back. I wouldn't go so far as to use your choice of noun regarding her, but then you're a most generous guy. I like that old saying "trust, but verify", and while she's definitely on the right track lately, I haven't forgotten how she's been beating the wrong drum for so long. Question: just how small is a "modicum" ? If it could fit in a thimble, maaaybe I could say I "trust (but verify)" her ... depending on when she's up for re-election. Thanks for sharing that clip; I'd only seen bits and pieces in the major media so far.

Great stories, and they have something in common: #1: It's not productive in any way for one guy in a committed, monogamous relationship to think he can simply ignore/forget/disavow his true nature. #2: That fact results in carrying guilt, shame, even embarrassment at his lack of willpower. #3: #'s 1 & 2 result in a fracture - even if the "cheated-on' partner remains unaware - which begins to gnaw at the foundation of the relationship - even if the unaware partner remains blissfully ignorant. The "cheater" feels guilty, becomes more distant, begins to withhold the fullness of his being, and the "cheated-on" partner will sense that. He may not understand why, and begin to withdraw emotionally as well. The act of taking anonymous loads in fuckjoints like the above-described is an act of self-affirmation, it's an act, a demonstration of who and what he really is. Who he simply needs to be. Thus, if the relationship was founded upon the sand of dishonesty (however well-meaning), eventually the relationship will be damaged, even if the cheated-on partner never finds out. It's the guilt that one guy feels for being the man he simply is. A raven cannot simply will himself to be a bluebird, when foundational human sexuality is in question. Cumdumps are to be upheld, reinforced, celebrated in celebrating their truth. It's simply not reasonable for a raven to be expected to turn himself into a bluebird or anything else. That's an act of denial of one's core of being; attempting to become that which he most certainly is not. We cannot simply change our very nature, we can only celebrate it with a life-partner who upholds his loved-one's thirst. Thus, having that conversation - however long it takes - prior to establishing the relationship - is crucial to the life and depth of the relationship. Avoiding our truth when considering a close relationship with a lover, partner, husband, whatever is planting a time-bomb with a loooong fuse into the bedrock of that relationship. For Heaven's Sake .... be open and honest about all the things you have to offer, all the things you want, including your sexual needs - desires - fantasies - requirements beFORE establishing a committed relationship. Even if that disclosure ends the prospect, that's better then hurting the prospective partner. Take all the precautions against disease if you need to. Delineate certain times or places or circumstances if you need to. Just share the wholeness of your life. At the very least, the prospective partner deserves to know them all - each guy deserves to know something that special. And, if it doesn't work out, at least ones integrity remains intact. There are tons of men who adore cumdumps, and one of them will fill all the shoes, including the big black boots.
