What kind of trouble do you fear he'll stumble into? I have not stuck with most of the onlyfans pages I've tried. There are factors that make some onlyfans pages a winner and most of them not. But he'll never know unless he tries. What can it hurt? Why does he think he is a good candidate to break into porn? Did you ask him his opinion of himself, whether he thinks he has a good look or a plan how he'll style himself. I get off on a sexy, scruffy nerd, but not everyone does.

Perhaps walking will make a comeback. I friend from Scandinavia is all about hiking. His diet sucks though.

Since Lindsey Graham is not on the review committee for Transportation he would not take part in questioning Buttigieg. Too bad. Could have been fun. Tammy Baldwin, Tammy Duckworth, Amy Klobuchar and Ted Cruz do serve on that committee so there could be some interesting banter if someone decides to "go there" about sexuality. CBS ran entire stories about Mayor Pete when he ran for President without mentioning he's gay. People can figure it out or not, but most don't care, except for the few that still try to fill their collection plate by preaching fear of the "gay agenda." Looking at the current Sec. of Transportation, one might be encouraged to get someone like Buttigieg to retool that department. But yeah it's too bad he didn't get Ambassador to the UN. He'll get almost no press now in comparison. He could have an impact on the auto industry, discussed in Car and Driver. Their piece on Buttigieg mentions he was an officer in the reserves, and a midwesterner but nothing about being gay. One might expect that some on either side want to highlight it, but one might also wonder if Buttigieg would rather just discuss the work.

I have a reminder set for this one. The acting looks great.

Funny how the biggest Kremlin trolls have dropped off that site now that the voting is finished. That "Buttigieg-in-the-cabinet" thread is so lame it isn't worth the effort. The OP made no point at all, just copying and pasting a news article. Since the Repubs have some big gay wheels in their party not to mention a closet case or two in the Senate, I would expect the Senate to not make a big deal out of Buttigieg's sexuality. That he is the first openly gay cabinet member is somewhat newsworthy, but not too much The less said about it the better, to be fair to him. He'll be approved on his own merits, and nothing else, IMO.

No guarantee that donating $$ would give you a pass. After what went on there this year I am breaking my string of years sending to him.

Without his wild card executive power, will there be a cloud hanging over Trump?

Better than Hillbilly Elegy.

Funny how the Dems and the media aren't willing to call a spade a spade and report how this is one huge grift. The voting fraud initiative is far past $200,000,000 taken in by now. But yeah, these donors in large part are the people that believe there is a Deep State and there is a Q. Let's give a shout out to Republican Adam Kinzinger, though his voting record is pro upper 1% and anti LGBTQ, at least he was out front about recognizing Biden was the winner. GOP Rep. Kinzinger wages a lonely fight against Trump’s falsehoods and right-wing disinformation This one time I'd agree to suck him if he forced my head down on it. <-- That's sarcasm!

Yup, performance counts.

More and more, it seems that "smarts" is not a Republican trait. However, IMO they are clever, evil and greedy enough to get their way.

I didn't care for it, but glad to hear it has an appeal for some of you. I certainly like Glenn Close.

Perhaps I give the Rebubs too much credit, but it seems they've successfully focused on how to gain control during the last 30 years, granted not always using noble means. Democrats ought to focus on whatever worked for the Blue side and do more of that rather than pointing fingers at their perceived fuck ups. This is the approach followed by private sector gurus, that investing more resources in what works versus investing everything in solving the fuck ups will bring the best outcome and help beat the competition. Certainly doesn't hurt to listen to the perfesser, but what about winning more Senate and gubernatorial elections, holding onto the House, and gaining control of the state legislatures? Reading the tea leaves for the next presidential cycle does less to help the Dems with the bigger picture. If the Blue side doesn't wake up and focus on what works for winning elections, then aren't their expectation that the good guys will win a flawed worldview? Remember how the pundits rang the death knell of the Rebubs after Obama was first elected? As Trump likes to remind, WRONG! We ought not be too willing to sit back and cross our fingers that the political stars will align in the way the Lichtman describes, and not focus on the bigger picture. Dems need to get busy, like Stacy Abrams did in Georgia. In the words of Chris Cuomo, let's get after it.

I am somewhat convinced that Trump shows no class because he is psychotic. But also, his latest conspiracy initiative, election fraud, is helping rake in millions of dollars in donations to an initiative that is reported to be a little bit soft on how the money will be spent. One might not be surprised how Trump would lean into one final big grift while in the White House, keeping the money rolling in until inauguration day when he will skip the swearing in and instead officially announce his 2024 campaign. Similarly, Matt Braynard, a former Trump operative, was on Lou Dobbs last night pumping up his Voter Integrity Project, spewing false claims how dead people voted for Biden, while providing no evidence. In the meantime, he has collected big money donations but provided no evidence how he is using the money., reported by Daily Beast. Braynard seems to be a right wing fanatic based on a Mother Jones article. Lou Dobbs is an old time birther who will say anything for ratings, IMO, so putting Braynard on his show last night was no surprise. Big picture is the Trump base continues to be riled up and squeezed for every last drop of money they can send. Over the years, whether it is Trump's private con games, or his presidential rip offs, the media doesn't seem to give this side of the equation much reporting. Perhaps, NY state will help change that next year.

Consider that Trump's brain may already be declining slowly into dementia (as his father did). Imagine how Republicans will handle it, how in 3 years Trump sounds more and more crazy. Can Rebubs speak up if his base is still driven to support by Fox news and OAN fanning the MAGA flames? Or will the Party continue to roll the dice and stick with their status quo? He'd be doing the Rebubs a favor, but I doubt his physical body will cooperate and decline into death at the rate is brain will.

It's gotta hurt for Trump to hear a Jew, Saul Alinsky, was behind the vote count fraud, especially when he has always stood by Jewish guys as the most trusted for doing the counting at his casinos. Today's WAPO article on Trump's voter fraud craziness includes a clip from Fox where Trump claims the FBI should be investigating how many dead people voted, but they (the FBI) "are probably in on it". I hope there is a way to make Trump pay for all this. He is a nasty man, IMO. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/11/30/cybersecurity-202-chris-krebs-fiercely-defends-election-while-president-trumps-attacks-it-get-weirder/

Here is the 60 Minutes Chris Krebs interview, including discussion of the GA vote, and their Secretary of State putting country first. Makes me wonder who has the goods on Miss Lindsay, prompting that old queen to attempt to influence the GA vote count. The 60 Minutes interview does not mention her. https://youtu.be/YzBJJ1sxtEA

Never say never, but for now I am finished contributing $$ or political comment over there.

These two in the video played brothers in From Beginning to End, a Brazilian film. I understand the video at the link was a screentest prior to filming the movie. Happy Thanksgiving.

Not a beach read?

What is the MC you refer to? What was it about The Englishman you liked if the style turned you off?

Stacy Abrams' initiative in Georgia got enough new voters registered to put Biden on top there. Will the Democrats take that model nationwide, and perhaps promote Abrams to help? Doubt it. The Dems thought having Eva Longoria at their convention was sufficient to win Latino vote. The Dems have a knack for not understanding winning strategy. Maybe it's from maintaining the worldview of too many old straight white guys, still affecting decisions.

I have not read any of Holleran, but have read Edmund White. One of his includes an account of the Stonewall riots. Interesting!

Was a unanimous winner, though I'm curious why that would be known. I read Alan Hollinghurst's The Thin Line of Beauty which won. Were there other gay winners?

Is this going to be their next Benghazi or their next Birther conspiracy? Fucking Republicans. Seriously. ....and now, something funny.
