I don't Ronny took a crap without getting the OK from Nancy AND I don't think she gave the OK until she checked with her astrologer first! It's my own personal opinion but I too have a issue that neither addressed Aids. Both had political and Hollywood ties and could of spearheaded campaigns to draw attention to the crisis and didn't! Thank god Liz Taylor pitched in and helped! |

This guy got 10-20 years in prison for a small amount of weed for personal use. I know for a fact that the weed was all he had. They almost lost their home. The wife and son worked hard to make ends meet. He built up his landscaping business, and she went to work doing some difficult job that made her come home dead tired. When I lost my townhouse in the Great Recession, he still had not come home, which was over ten years. I got acid from another neighbor. The AIDS Crisis was horrible back then. They needed research money badly. It caused the largest LGBT march in DC. I was in that action and the die-in in front of the SCOTUS. I worked medical for the die-in in case the DC police injured one of the participants. Cops weren't about to touch anyone who had AIDS. Organizers put all the medical staff in isolation gowns, gloves, and goggles if they caused significant injury with bleeding. That was after the march itself, where the Leather Contingent were sharp. There were Leathermen in chaps, codpiece, shined boots, and a vest. That's it for the bottoms. The Tops wore head-to-toe shined leather. They put the Leatherdykes up front with our biker jackets with chains on our applets. T, The men put those of us sporting floggers and whips in front by the banner that read "Leather Contingent." When we started, all you could hear was the thuddy sound of leather slapping leather and the swinging of chains in unison. Have no photos of that, but the Leather Archives in Chgo has many. I think it's on Clark or used to be, near Women and Children First Books around Foster. A few of us watched the entire march from beginning to end. It was impressive; we returned to the starting point and watched the groups come through. The crowd estimate was 250,000. It was also the last time the entire NAMES Quilt was displayed, taking up nearly the whole Ellipse. It took about four hours for me to walk it, tears the entire time. Think I did that before the march; we were there four or five days. A good friend, Drusilla (scene name), booked a two-bedroom suite at the Watergate. She is/was a psychiatrist, so she had a little money. She took one-bedroom, I the other. We had a bunch of women staying in the suite's main room on the floor, one of whom brought me my morning coffee...good times from a negative. The whole point of the march and the SCOTUS action was LGBT rights and money for AIDS research. In the 1980s-90s, I got news of more friend's deaths every week, some by suicide, to avoid the horrible AIDS-related cancers, toxoplasmosis, and PCP. I still see my Leather brothers, who were taken by senseless ignorance. The first time I heard about these new once-a-day wonder pills that make HIV undetectable by lab tests and make it not passed any longer by sex, I wept. How many people could that have saved? Good friends who were lost too young. The Leather community collapsed on itself. My friends and I shuttled condoms from AIDS awareness charities to the Leather bars like The Eagle and bathhouses. The fishbowls were always empty before we could get more.

HE is the one who taught me to be transparent with telling my partners everything from my drug past, shared needles, always get hiv and aids tests, I still do even after being clean for 20 plus years. I miss him, very much, if he was around and telling his stories maybe we wouldn't have the epidemic we have now.

Mitch McConnell says the labor shortage will be solved when people run out of stimulus money because Americans are 'flush for the moment'
IMHO..This *MF is SO removed from reality it'd be laughable if it wasn't so deadly! https://www.yahoo.com/news/mitch-mcc...193708143.html |

I just don't think it's so much that he is removed from reality as he is trying to create his own, i think he is very clear on his message and the things he says, as ridiculous as they sound to most thinking people, reinforces the narrative the radical right is trying to portray. I think it is a purposeful misdirection and it is a part of the Republican agenda (at least what passes as Republican nowadays). It is dog whistling. And it is heard loud and clear by those who wish to blame the government/liberals/Biden for their problems and still hold fast to that ludicrous narrative about lazy poor people (especially POC) who are being mollycoddled while sucking on the government teat. One thing it is not is a benign statement made by some out of touch politician who just doesn't understand. He understands perfectly well what he is doing and saying and who he is talking to.

OR Are they spending their inheritance? All I know is that one NEVER spends the principle according to my parents who weathered the Great Depression rather nicely and always found money for charity. At home, we might have been told to tighten our belts, but charity was mandatory just like the electric bill. There are many going hungry in the US as well as elsewhere. I'm on SSDI, but still give about half of the it to charity. Maybe, they don't spend frivolously on charity. That could be it. I waste money on charity <said tongue-in-cheek>.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., suggested in a videotaped podcast this week that the shootings on the Fourth of July, including the one in Highland Park, Illinois, were “designed” to get Republicans to support gun restrictions.
“Here’s what I have to say. I mean. Two shootings on July 4: one in a rich white neighborhood and the other at a fireworks display. It almost sounds like it’s designed to persuade Republicans to go along with more gun control. I mean, after all, we didn’t see that happen at all the pride parades in the month of June,” Greene said. Oh sure Marjorie I'm sure that's the reason and not because these events were done by some unstable mental cases! https://www.yahoo.com/news/rep-green...172939156.html |

"We can tell customers are starting to be a little more frugal about their shopping list," said Leonard, who owns seven grocery store locations. The average cost of a summer cookout for 10 people has risen to $69.98 this year, a 17% increase year-over-year, the American Farm Bureau reported. And according to the latest consumer price index data, food costs are up 10.1% year over year as the Russian invasion of Ukraine and global supply chain snarls have led to price increases in a wide variety of groceries. Ketchup prices have spiked 21%, snacks are up more than 13%, hot dogs more than 10%, and ice cream prices have risen nearly 10%. Beer, meanwhile, has only increased about 4%. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/i...120754086.html |
