As a kid, I recall wondering & asking how German citizens could have allowed shitler 1 to do such horrific things.

Maybe I shouldn't have asked.

They're an international disgrace, the lot of them. And I honestly believe this is precisely why pootin chose dump to install, because he never shuts his mouth & attempts to denigrate & disparage REAL Americans esp those in govt positions & veterans.

Thx for the welcome back!

How are your sweet kits?

My rescue queen departed for the Bridge 3 wks ago.

The boys keep an eye on me. Carys is still pretty reclusive but some days she hangs out in the same room as me and the boys.

I lost my sweet Sian, 3 weeks ago today. It's a hard adjustment.

The odds are she had some sort of ticking genetic time bomb and maybe only survived as long as she did because I brought her inside.

It was after her crossing the bridge that the boys started sticking very close to me. I think they miss her, too.

And I was with her when she passed. My brother came right over. He was very fond of her.

She's buried right next to the spot where I first saw her.

And I'm crying, again.

Brilliant! But of course he is a white man, which negates all the negatives.
Imagine having all that power, privilege and preferential treatment just because you have a pair of balls and a ding-dong hanging between your legs!

Without a penis need not apply.
Any skin color not white need not apply.
and absolutely
People who are gay need not apply.

The people they want are just like them.
Old men who spend most of their time, googling young girls
and thinking up ways to make the lives of women harder than they have it now.

I say fuck no! I will not go back, I refuse to allow any man to tell me how to live
my life, just to make them happy.

We already voted overwhelmingly to elect the first woman President. Too bad the ghosts of dead slave owners got in the way of that...

and only concerned his entire life with making money for a small private family company that he inherited but still drove into bankruptcy and used fraudulent practices operating the phony "University" and phony charity, both which he was ordered to terminate and never resume operation because they were proven to be scams.

If you are one of the people in one of the communities that “America is not ready for,” you won’t understand. You can try and empathize, which is good, but sometimes you need to step back and listen.

I wrote a lengthy post of how damaging it is to rail on and on about how America would never go for a gay man for vice president. One of the common replies was, “I don’t have a problem with gay people. It’s everyone else. Step out of the way so the people who know better can tell you what’s possible. Wait.”

What I didn’t successfully get across then was that this is hurtful to gay people, especially youth. I was ‘splained to so much that it wasn’t worth trying to keep up with replies. The thread became an echo chamber. It was a play on of the greatest hits - sing along if you know it - “Some of my best friends are gay.”

It became ugly, when I was told to get off my high horse. “You’re not better than anyone else.”

The problem runs deeper than this post conveys.
