Government is ruining everything ...

Well no “government” is not ruining everything….  Past federal governments have done wonderful things (social security, Medicare, Medicaid… air traffic controllers… food safety… drug safety… national weather forecasters…foreign aid… the coast guard…. The military - when properly lead keeping us safe…. The voting rights act and civil rights act….  It’s a long list of vitally important rules, regulations, and enforcement that the government HAS done… to protect all of us, and make our lives better 

it is THIS federal government that is ruining everything through their massive hypocrisy… they believe in “personal independence” unless you are a woman or trans person seeking medical aid…. they believe in “freedom of speech” unless your speech includes words like “gay, black, woman, color, diversity, …..   I could go on, but I am already on enough blood pressure medication….

Wait a second, I did not vote for Trump, but prefer to get fucked without artificial lube and never use poppers.

4solvents.com is up and running. i have an order coming from them. however PTGO .,... 3 weeks and only a statement that thbey have received my order.  they have not cashed my check, so that looks very bad.

finally heard from ptgo   apparently i left one item in my basket. i said forget it and mail what i did order. meanwhile ordered four bottles from 4solvents, in addition to the two bottles earlier and the two bottles from ptgo.   that should tide me over for a while.  and, frankly, given the state of the cdc/fda, i do not see how they can enforce this as their numbers are crumbling. very sad.

It boggles my mind as well that Americans were so easily manipulated by this charlatan

You're not just kidding ...  

I blame (well, in part) the public educational system.  I don't believe they teach critical thinking in public schools anymore; if they did, more of these young folks would have the tools to smell bullshit and refuse to vote for it. 

There's another factor that may be in play, namely an undue emphasis on allowing ourselves to be defined by how much "stuff" we own, rather than what kind of human being do we want to be.  That might be because "values" are too concentrated on "stuff", as opposed to values. 

Integrity, honor, the things that create self-worth are simply not being taught, and there's a price to be paid for that error.  

That said, my mind boggles as well - how on earth could this idiot have actually been elected ???  I know that societies rise, societies fade, but I'm not ready quite yet, dammittall.

I've discussed the probability of his re-election with several people from different parts of life, not just gay men.  One thing that was repeated was the fact that he defeated a black woman. What if it had been a black man?  The point that was made is that it could have been both due to racism as well as sexism.  If she had been a he, would we have a different result?

[hntnhole]

Hmmmmm .... I hadn't thought of that.  

I guess I would need some time to think about this.  I voted for her gladly - not just because the other choice was - to my mind - totally unthinkable. She is clearly far more intelligent, cogent, able than the wannabe-king.  Race (meaning, how our country has treated the issue), what our country hasn't done about it, what we still need to accomplish, etc didn't come into the equation for me this past election. 

As far as I'm concerned, we should strive to be color-blind in political issues, as well as personal ones.  Same goes for "sexism".  There are eminently capable women in this country, and plenty of them. 

I'd gladly trade an intelligent woman of any race over the current fraud squatting in the White House.

That in itself would be the S&M scene of the century (LoL) 😋😋🤣.

Sorry guys but having lived the best & worst life can throw at you, I always found that humour was the "best medicine". 

I agree he is a moron of the highest order 🤬🤬🤬.

No, I don't think so. 

The ridiculous one would have appealed to the more base instincts, jealousies, hatreds, regardless of the gender of the opposition.  There are apparently an astounding number of incompletely/poorly educated folks that he appealed to by harping on the jealousies, envies, "shoulda been me-isms" and all the excuses they come up with for failing to actually think, reflect, spend any amount of time actually assessing.   These folks only "felt", they didn't use any rational faculties they may possess.

ellentonboy, I notice we're a little bit off topic for this thread .... maybe we should move this to some other topic ....
