The news today reports that the diet sodas receive their sugar substitutes from China. Coca-Cola announced an expected reduction in those supplies. So, maybe I can quit Coke Zero too! https://finance.yahoo.com/news/diet-coke-coke-zero-shortage-163742056.html

The President of the United States of America today blamed Democrats and the media for stirring up panic about the outbreak of corona virus. Following that, he named the Vice-President as the leader of the opposition to the virus. Pence, who has no medical background, is best known for anti-gay policies while governor of the State of Indiana. "The fast-spreading COVID-19 virus appears on track to test the competency of an administration that has proposed large budget cuts to the CDC, shut down an office assigned to track deadly diseases around the world and is rocked by constant turnover in top positions responsible for handling emergencies and potential emergencies."

He's a United States Senator, a millionaire, owner of three homes, in the news every day, and angry all of the time. Or so it seems. Why?

Thanks for the clarification.

"Nonconsensual sexual encounters with underling employees of the company I worked for...post @metoo, not one of them would be considered OK..." When is nonconsensual sex ever okay?

The Biebs has issues a new pic- without the 'stache!

A billion dollars! But Trump's stint on The Apprentice probably gave him a billion dollars worth of publicity.

But he did reveal it anyway.

In an interview with Telemundo in Nevada, Amy Klobuchar and Tom Steyer could not name the president of Mexico! Pete knew it! https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-02-14/in-interview-klobuchar-steyer-cant-name-mexican-president

It would be weird to go to a gogo bar and see the guys all wearing face masks but showing dick!

Are you going today?

I have a friend leaving Sunday for Bangkok...via Hong Kong. I think he will be fine.

Pete is doing very well at the debate! Go PETE! https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-02-07/pete-buttigieg-new-hampshire

The angry old man is stepping up his attacks on Pete. IMO, Sanders supporters are worse than any of the other candidate fans. They play dirty.

There is plenty of reason to think of Harvey Weinstein as a pig, but jurors can only act on the evidence presented in his trial. The two victims allege rape, but then went on to later have continuing sex with him. Is the rape charge credible? I would not convict him on this evidence. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/07/nyregion/harvey-weinstein-trial-consent.html?action=click&module=News&pgtype=Homepage

Pete is barely hanging on to the lead this morning, but he will now be a historic figure, having done much for the gay community with this run. Either Klobuchar or Warren is toast. Perhaps they will merge on one of them. Biden, thankfully, is done.

Interesting (to me) development of the conversation. The OP inquired about availability of "young men." Badboy replied, using "guys." But, it ended up, so far, with "boy." I know that I am not the only one who likes to see the guys we talk about referred to as men or young men, or guys! But then, the website is not called Mentoy.

Congratulations on your first post! I am curious what prompted you to post now since you joined years ago and didn't post. Hopefully you will continue!

There is a vaccine for the flu.

I wish the Bangkok travelers well. It would be a horrible shame if we lost that country to travel because of coronavirus.

A Tanzanian official who led anti-gay round-ups, and encouraged people to spy on suspected gays has been denied entry into the US. Here's the story:https://nypost.com/2020/02/01/anti-gay-african-leader-barred-from-united-states/

In Hong Kong, health care workers are threatening to go on strike Monday if all Chinese borders with Hong Kong are not closed. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3048558/fears-coronavirus-spreading-locally-hong-kong

The dancers in bars, the taxi drivers and the tuk tuk drivers, just about everybody will soon be wearing face masks in Thailand, I predict. Heck, all over Asia the masks have become common. One good thing, the venues won't be packed with Chinese women competing for the boys' attention! They can't get there! Here, some of Oz's former boyfriends pledge to wear them until the crisis ends: https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30381427?utm_source=homepage&utm_medium=internal_referral The Bangkok Post reports that Phuket is deserted! https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/1848409/chinese-tourists-desert-phuket Other virus news: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1846299/coronavirus-outbreak-possible-in-major-tourist-centres
