Would it hurt to wear pants/skirt/shrinkwrap?hepcat wrote: Thu Jun 11, 2020 8:03 pm I think I mentioned this before, but when it comes to sharing bathrooms, neither sex wants me in one of those stalls when they enter the room.
I got that. I wasn't responding to you restroom comment. Rather to prior posting history regarding your disposition towards garments for your lower half. I was struck by the truth that one cannot truly appreciate the freedom of going without if one has never experienced going with.hepcat wrote: Thu Jun 11, 2020 8:22 pm Easy children. Mine was a gastrointestinal warning, not a missing pants one.

Can you really ever have too many pants?
Tucker Carlson has one of the most-watched shows on cable news, but the Fox News Channel host is losing advertisers – again.
Whereas in 2018, when 20 companies yanked their ads after Carlson obtusely proclaimed that undocumented immigrants made America “poorer, and dirtier, and more divided,” this time the exits are over the host’s stance on the death of George Floyd and the ensuing nationwide protests against police violence and racism.
Both Disney and T-Mobile have cut ties with the primetime Tucker Carlson Tonight over the host’s polarizing point of view on the Black Lives Matter movement and the desire for justice and equality in America that many of its members advocate. Along with Papa John’s, the media giant and the telecommunications brand faced a backlash in recent days for their association with Carlson and his belief that the well-attended protests were “Black Lives Matter riots.”
We were shocked to read the internal CDC documents instructing the agency's media relations office to refuse media requests from "anyone associated with Voice of America," citing White House tweets accusing VOA of spreading Chinese propaganda. VOA, a federally-funded independent news organization, strongly rejects the accusations and calls on the CDC to immediately withdraw the instructions. The CDC documents were released this week in response to a Knight First Amendment Institute’s FOIA request.
For a federal agency’s public affairs office to categorically deny in advance interview requests from VOA journalists, including our colleague Greta Van Susteren, based on a White House opinion statement referring to an Associated Press story about COVID-19 shared by the VOA newsroom as "propaganda," is even more troubling.
It gets more insane when the CDC claim is that VOA is doing the bidding of China. It's pants on heads crazy.Holman wrote: Sun Jun 14, 2020 6:27 pm As a child of the Cold War, I'm trying to get my head around how that even works.
I can understand it, but that doesn't seem like the right move.
They're resigning in protest because their new boss is going to be a disciple of Steve Bannon.Alefroth wrote: Mon Jun 15, 2020 3:55 pm I can understand it, but that doesn't seem like the right move.
Steve. Bannon.Two veteran journalists in charge of Voice of America, Amanda Bennett and Sandra Sugawara, resigned on Monday as a result of the recent congressional confirmation of a conservative activist and filmmaker to be the head of the agency that oversees the government broadcast organization.
President Trump has in recent months placed extraordinary pressure on Voice of America by personally denouncing its work and pushing Republicans in the Senate to confirm Michael Pack, the filmmaker. Mr. Pack, who is a close ally of Stephen K. Bannon, the former campaign strategist and White House adviser for Mr. Trump, was confirmed on June 4 by the Republican-controlled Senate. Democratic leaders had opposed Mr. Pack’s confirmation.
This is firmly on the GOP Senate and once again they won't be held to the fire for it.Holman wrote: Tue Jun 16, 2020 8:20 amThey're resigning in protest because their new boss is going to be a disciple of Steve Bannon.Alefroth wrote: Mon Jun 15, 2020 3:55 pm I can understand it, but that doesn't seem like the right move.

Oh, and according to CNN, the plan is to bring Sebastian Gorka in to a leadership position as well.
(Wasn't VOA originally founded to *fight* fascism?)
Fuck, that was my retirement plan.

Gaetz has never mentioned an adopted son before, but he has posted pictures of the young man before, but referenced him only as a “local student” or a house page.

follow the weirdness, if you dare.
That explains all those Twitter people saying they adopted people from Cuba with pictures of very clear non-Cubans! (My favorite was George Takei adopting Colbert.) I had no idea what to search to figure it out.

Wasn't that an episode of Archer?Smoove_B wrote: Fri Jun 19, 2020 11:35 pm I've been following this story since it was reported and it makes absolutely no sense to me. The more information that comes out, the less sense it makes. I can only assume Gaetz was paid a suitcase full of money by Trump for a distraction and he's sharing it with a random Cuban teenager that has apparently be living in his 1BR apartment for 7 years? See what I mean? It's insane.
Richmond, who is Black, was making remarks about the Justice in Policing Act saying, "to my colleagues, especially the ones who keep introducing amendments that are a tangent and a distraction to what we are talking about, you all are white males, you have never lived in my shoes and you do not know what it is like to be an African American male."
Gaetz asked Richmond if he was insinuating that Republican congressmen did not have any "non-white" children, to which Richmond quickly responded, "Matt, I am not about to get sidetracked about the color of our children. I reclaim my time!"
“Our relationship as a family is defined by our love for each other, not by any paperwork,”

That is weird to me. Seriously. Is that just me?
I don't want knock to adoptive or step parents. I don't know what it's like to in those shoes but don't they make the leap of love by saying "you are my son/daughter"?
That makes this 0.0001% less creepy. Without that, an unmarried single male taking in a just pre-teen boy that he’s not related too should be setting off some alarm bells, no?Skinypupy wrote:The story I read is that he was a child of a former girlfriend who (somehow) ended up living with Gaetz after the relationship ended.
