Buttigieg went to San Francisco, where Kamala Harris is from. How did he do? Read more; https://www.politico.com/story/2019/03/29/pete-buttigieg-san-francisco-1243203

Why did you not credit the author of this report? I find that person to be one Sasha Abramsky, of Truthout! Plagiarism bad, truth good!

I finished the book, which was no small task given the length and extremely bad writing. We are left with the idea that many (the book says maybe 80%) of the Church hierarchy being gay in some way. These priests form a gay cabal of sorts. The author maintains that it is the closeted priest who does the most harm because they feel the need to be homophobic to cover their own secret. Worst is when gay church leaders tell men with AIDS or wanting to avoid AIDS that condom use is banned. The author details other stories of closeted clergy in thrall to local dictators, essentially held hostage due to their secrets. A couple of the priests named were truly horrific people in their brutality. Anyway, I am glad to be done with it.

I think it's pretty darn crazy. Don't the police work with the prosecutors? Why would 16 charges get filed by the police only to be dropped by the prosecutors? And if he is innocent, why make him forfeit his $10,000 bail?

This review in The Guardian summarizes the book well. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/mar/03/in-the-closet-of-the-vatican-frederic-martel-review

The news pundits don't think it is over by a long shot. And I was wrong about things calming down even for a moment! We need to see the whole report.

...is not over. We still have a President Trump, and with his virtual exoneration by the Special Counsel he may swell up even more. I find myself strangely comforted by the lack of findings. Did we really relish years of fighting over topics like collusion? The GOP is gleeful, the Democrats hopeful. Hopeful that the US Attorney in New York will find some stuff on Trump. If and when they release Muller's report, then we might know the whys and wherefores. Until then, things might actually calm down for a brief period. Yeah, right.

In San Francisco, untold hordes of men have wagged their wienies at a private club known as Blow Buddies. Those days may be coming to an end as the property is up for sale and the proprietors of the sex club are not expected to put in a bid: https://www.ebar.com/health/sex//273627/blow_buddies_building_up_for_sale Also closing in San Francisco is Divas, a transsexual bar on Post Street. Finally, I hope, Project Inform has closed. During the AIDS crisis, the agency provided a wealth of assistance for those affected by the epidemic. https://www.ebar.com/index.php?id=273839

I have read that the stars of Moonlight are either not available or are quite expensive. Part of the fun of watching those shows was fantasizing about hiring the guy. Have I received correct information?

Oz, I found the video interesting, but it doesn't do much to squelch the tiny dick theory. I guess I like twinkier guys. BUT, if that show was being performed in Palm Springs, I'd go!

It's nice to see our two Bangkok residents getting along!

I made the assumption for the purpose of the thread that each of the 30 posts was by a different individual, but of course some folks made multiple posts. Ergo, of the 91 online, far less than a third posted.

Not that anyone is counting, but over the last 24 hours, only 30 posts have gone up. Why say "only?" Well, it's clearly been slow for new content, except for the Latin Forum. But in the last 24 hours, those 30 posts came from 91 members who signed on in the last 24 hours. So, after log-in, only one of three members even others to say something! Just saying. I mean, who cares, really...

Plenty of people here are banned at Daddys. But we don't have many Trump supporters since Bucky stopped posting.

Are you banned at Daddys?

So there is a new book out, released simultaneously in several countries. In France, the title is "Sodoma". Here it is "In The Closet of the Vatican." The author says he has spent 4 years researching the book. The finding is that the majority of priests in the Vatican are homosexuals, although not all are practicing. He has already gotten the first dagger in. The crooked Archbishop Marcinkus, who forbade the use of condoms to prevent AIDS, was himself, a homosexual. The book is 560 pages long, so let's hope it maintains its objective facade and keeps up the stories!

This is the same message that I get. Oz has told us that they work as fast as they can to fix glitches, and this one isn't exactly high priority since it happens when you are done reading the site. It seems harmless as it does not affect your next sign-in. But we all want the site to shine, so patience will reward us.

Too much Agent Orange?

Trump is talking about having the military on his side, along with the police and the Bikers for Trump. He seems to forget that police and military generally stand for law and order. Now we have this whacknut Congressman Steve King proclaiming that the red states have EIGHT TRILLION BULLETS in the event of civil war. So folks are stoking the possibility. Steve King and Donald Trump, who couldn't even express sympathy for the dead in New Zealand. But he will lead a civil war from Mar A Lago, feeding those bikers all the fast food they can eat. And I'll bet it's a lot! https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/03/18/steve-king-posts-meme-warning-that-red-states-have-trillion-bullets-event-civil-war/?utm_term=.a099f4323c96

Then Beto and his conservative and evangelical friends could pick a new Justice! They would all skateboard down the National Mall.

Now we have RockHard responding to himself. Time for those bloviator pills to kick in! And sure, I would love to support a candidate who is in favor with the conservatives and evangelicals. I might even send him one of those big $25 checks that are going out from New York. No doubt he would support gay rights over his evangelical Texan powerhouses.

I finished reading this biography and although it is extremely well-written, the subject is a closet case who watched others suffer, lose their jobs, commit suicide, and did nothing to alleviate it despite the high degree of influence he had with Eisenhower. He fell in love with a younger man and acted like a teenage girl with his lovenotes. Yet he was involved in the highest levels of discussions and planning for things like nuclear war.

The next President is going to have to undo a whole list of negative accomplishments by Trump. Experience will go a long way to fixing the damage done. So many of the Democrat candidates are relatively new that they won't have what it takes. We don't need another inexperienced candidate.
