    just seems like everywhere you look the gay agenda is front and center being force fed to the masses
    i don't think its anything more than the militant gays and overcompensating homophobic adults (mostly white liberals imo) that put it on blast
    unless you're a boorish fool you probably don't have any issue w gay people doing their thing and getting married since society says thats how we want it
    i think mayor Pete seems like a good enough guy and i appreciate he acts like a man first and not a primping affected look at me type
    of course if he did he wouldn't have a chance in hell and as i said earlier i still don't think he does
    all that aside even the competition says he's scripted and robotic and i have to agree
    at times it sounds to me like he's trying to channel obama without the personality idk
    really think trump is licking his chops to get at any one of the candidates
    used to vote for democrats on occasion but this field is an absolute mess and probably tulsi was the best chance
    seems like the party has pushed so far left now that a socialist/communist is the front runner
    can't go any farther than that
    when a person openly cites things like castro had his good points i can't listen anymore
    no socialism, free speech and free markets and i don't see any dem advocating any of those core tenants

    I can’t argue that Pete is scripted and robotic. I appreciate it from a “prepared” standpoint, but he certainly doesn’t have the personality of Obama, Trump, or even Bernie. Personally, I find the Trump personality exhausting and having a president who values making good decisions over saying whatever will get the most cheers would be refreshing... I’m starting to worry that won’t be the case though.

    IMO, Pete is the best speaker in the Democratic race, but Bernie has the most personality because he’s just unapologetically who he is (Trump has that same personality, different values and experience obviously, but same personality).

    I’d like to see the parties move back towards the center so we can agree on the 80% of things that most people agree with, and just argue the 20%... but we seem to be moving towards the poles. Ugh. Politics.

    Pete's not my guy. All I can say.

    Bernie? Well, I'm terrified that there are enough gullible people in this country to have turned a communist who writes erotic short stories about women being gang raped, praises Fidel Castro's re-education programs, and has never had a real job in his entire life into a millionaire 10X over...and into a presidential front runner.

    The fact that Trump or anyone for that matter would not win all 50 states against somebody like Bernie is scary.

    I'd also like to know how they calculate and verify people living "paycheck to paycheck"
    They scream about how this economy doesn't work for everyone, and how so many live paycheck to paycheck.
    A lot of that has to do with fiscal irresponsibility
    I know people who make 180-250k per year that live paycheck to paycheck.
    I also know dishwashers and custodians who have zero debt, five-figure emergency funds, healthy IRAs, and could miss 6 paychecks without going under.

    exactly
    i have a sister who lives paycheck to paycheck and i guarantee if you gave her 500k she be living pc to pc within 2 years max
    a lot of people have no idea how the dream is supposed to work
    work hard, deny yourself everything you want, save, invest, repeat
    no one is supposed to get anything for nothing but thats certainly changed
    to the point that if you point it out you're called all sorts of names

    Kids aren't a minority.
    They are THE minority.
    The original protected class.
    The first ones whose rights had to be fought for by human civil and social justice rights activists.

    It's not about gay candidates.
    Only the fringes really cares about that at the end of the day. Just like Diablo said.
    But more folks that are cool with gays and gay marriage still get upset at the glorification or exploitation of a child's sexuality.
    It's normal for us here out west to see it.
    But not everywhere else.
    And the fact that it's normal for us kinda disgusts them.

    Go west young man!
    That saying simply means progress.
    And the west is the best because it's also the end. The final door.
    Or as the final door is called in persian... Babylon.
    Babylon is not a country for old men.
    Old men get more conservative as they age.
    And that's not a good thing in general.
    Because it's a young man's world.
    Always been.
    Regardless of age or time.
    The next generation always wins.
    They always get in the gate.
    By hook or by crook.
    Unless you are an old man.

    Or unless this generation really is the start of the millennial kingdom.
    But then the church people and the global warming people can hold hands and sing kumbaya while spreading the crown virus to each other waiting for Trump to nuke the ice caps just so Jesus can come back with his band and rock them all to Oblivion or Beyond.

    But Anywhoo...
    Still have hope for Tulsi and Yang.
    Yeah Yang walked away.
    He did the math.
    And the math says that his type of thinking and even speaking style and personality but more importantly his character is gonna be missed.
    Then the math will be right again.
    And the Dems are gonna need someone who can give you the right answer quickly.
    And who always shows his work when asked for a proof.
    Unlike almost everyone else in this business.
    That's why the people and even the party will pull him back in. Just when he thought he was out.

    Your posts are quite the adventure, rube. They have it all, ups, downs, twists & turns. I'd rate this post as better than Season 8 of Game of Thrones, but not quite as good as Season 7.

    Wow...stilted, narrow minded, provincial thinking in the most part that taken element by element, is the underlying problems of the system currently.
    Sprinkling it with undeniable, obvious "self evident "bits here and there doesn't hide the tunnel vision aspects of it.
    OBEY.

    If you're able to criticize it that strongly, you must have been able to make sense of it.
    So you're doing better than me.

    I thought the post was pretty straightforward and easy to follow.
    Well in comparison to other times when Ive made rambling posts tinged with a little emotion.

    Season 7 was ok. It had its moments and definitely left us clinching our armrests wanting more, which only highlights the failure that was Season 8. But yeah, for what it was, Season 7 delivered enough.

    Had a guy discussion ( one gay chick, too) about who on GoT looked best naked...John Snow , of course is the overwhelming winner, so excluding him.
    The consensus was Danerys, the Dragon mom, by a wide margin. I guess petite, really pretty blondes have most fun. Until stabbed by their lover.
    But for me Lena Heady ( Cersei) was top of the pops. Not the naked walk of shame, shame, ( which she didn't do), but when she gets out of bed, from an incest boink, to answer the door.
    There were others, too, that were great...what say you? or, who say you?

    For the sake of giving everyone a fair chance, I might have to go back and review all the nude scenes. Danerys stands out the most, walking naked through fire is hard to forget - without further review that's who I'd vote for. Don't sleep on Khal Drogo either. Natalie Dormer (Queen Margaery), Talisa (Robb's wife - although I heard she had a body double), and I don't think Ros gets her just due. The Sand Snake who seduces Bronn and Massandei (Greyworm's crush) should get mentions as well. Really no wrong answer IMO except for Shae (not because the actress isn't beautiful, but that's the one character where I couldn't stand the acting) and maybe Melisandre (the red woman) without the necklace.

    Game Of Thrones is one of the best TV shows I've ever watched. The final season, Season 8, was bad though. It felt extremely rushed and amateurish from a story perspective. That said, the acting and effects were still top-notch that season. I'd say it's worth a go if you've never seen it, but if you aren't hooked 3 or 4 episodes in then you're probably not going to get hooked.

    I dont know Blue, it really is how you look at it.
    But old is death and life is young.
    Like the difference between sucking and fucking.
    Or exhaling and breathing.
    One is death, the other life.
    These are basic concepts.
    Not literal ones.
    I am not talking out of class here.
    You will find this in the bible and in many other texts.
    Including non religious types.
    It is not an age thing at all.

    Now some other bits may have been obtuse.
    But im sure some of you here understand.
    Babylon is Babel and that word in Persian means Gate of God.
    The same word was used as code by the Jews to mean Confusion.
    As in that babylonian old time religion/lifestyle is just a land of confusion with not much love to go round. Although its all about peace and love.
    Xerxes thought himself the god of this world remember.
    He wanted to bring peace and love to the planet.
    With swords and spears and steers and... well you know the rest.
    Im sure you saw 300.
    It was about the western Spartans vs the eastern Persians who descended from the first empire of Media. The Medes were able to use their own brand of propaganda to quickly rise from small group within the Eurasian empire when one of their sons became the first self styled King of Kings to actually try and conquer the known world.

    I was not trying to be confusing though.
    On the contrary.
    What is in the content of my post that was so bewildering though?
    The millennial kingdom part?
    That is a thing. It was a big deal for folks in the previous century.
    About Jesus Christ superstar coming down with his band of rock lords to usher in a new world order?
    Yeah that was a dream I had as a kid in church listening to When The Saints Come Marching In but wishing there was a heavy metal version. I still see that dream in my mind frequently.
    But you can look it up if you forgot about the concept of the spirit in the sky or the ghost riders the old cowboy used to talk about. They riding that millenium falcon.

    Was it about Yang and Tulsi?
    Because we know its going to be Bernie vs Trump.
    But who will be his running mate?
    Tulsi is who I think he will pick.
    Not someone like AOC.
    Certainly not Warren.
    And if not Tulsi then Yang makes the most sense.
    Who else from the field could help put him over the top with the segment of voters who voted for Trump but are disillusioned by his style.
    Not any of the senior citizens running.
    Yes because they are old. But don't trip.
    Bernie is old and has heart issues.
    Yang proved he can move the internet like Bernie does.
    And in a weird way since he is all about numbers and business and entrepreneurship but he is the most communist of all candidates.
    Wants to give everyone 1k a month.
    And his parents were born in China where the concept of big brother is not the government per se but a successful older mentor you respect and can get help from when you need it to better your situation.
    He can't run on the big brother thing here for obvious reasons.
    But the asian community who never NEVER votes may just turn out for one of their own.
    Specially since he wants to be everyone's big brother.
    And when I say that he may even reenter the race im not just pulling it out of my ass. I am pulling it out of my ear.

    Yang and Tulsi are both minorities and are both bold progressives with forward looking ideas instead of harping on the past or on the Don.
    Bernie knows this and they are his type of people.
    So yeah, things are inevitable blue.
    Just like rain when the weatherman says.
    You just prepare and bring an umbrella and a wide hat. And if you know whats best for you you will OBEY!
    That's Tulsi and Yang.
    Because even if the weatherman is wrong and its sunny all day.... you are still protected from the infrared and the ultraviolet if you just OBEY!

    Now if there is anything I said that you thought was offensive or controversial in my previous post then Im sorry man.
    Let me know what you wish me to clarify.
    I was not trying to be occult.
    Or funny or whatever.
    Yeah there was some attempt at a lighthearted moment with the way I characterized the frenzy over the corona virus pandemic.
    I made it a little bit over the top/end of the world.
    I will admit that part was a little glib.
    And that I framed the post as if it was a story.
    We all have our own distinct style.
    I sometimes can't help that.
    Specially if my health meter is low and im running out of hearts and I cant find the princess anymore no matter how many bombs I set off on the side of death mountain.
    So yeah, sometimes I get a little artsy fartsy.
    Its probably a self defense mechanism to keep me from actually putting my heart directly where my mouth is.
    But everything else was a post in earnest.
    As is this.
