I hope to go in August or September, 2021.

This is a September 19th tweet from Steve Schmidt of The Lincoln Project. Do Not Be Afraid. Do Not Tremble. Do Not Waiver. Do not doubt either the goodness of our people or the possibilities for our future. Do not let small men with tyranny and malice in their heart, or hypocrites with no core, make you afraid for our future or of your countrymen and women. Do not let the fascists, racists and conspiracy theorists make you afraid of your neighbors or the strangers who could be your friend. We should all be grateful that we have been chosen by this rancid and dangerous hour to stand up and fight. What we do now matters. Our Capitol is occupied by a cabal of small and low men and women who have betrayed all of us, the American experiment, their oaths and basic decency in service of a corrupt and malignant cult of personality that is vandalizing our principles, ideals, inheritance, future and fundamental goodness. 200,000 of our countrymen and women are dead. At least 150,000 of them could be alive, but for Trump’s lethal lying and the immoral, supine complicity of his collaborators and enablers. Let us resolve to rise up and strike down Trumpism. Let us put it down with righteous anger and fury. Let us resolve to never let this happen again. Let us do our duty as American citizens. Let us be conscious that we are called to safe action when we consider the blood, sacrifice and courage of ordinary people who stood their ground on a field in Lexington and Gettysburg. The men who stormed the beaches of Normandy and dropped from the skies over France to crush fascism are smiling at our cause. The men and women who taught the world the meaning of the words “human dignity” as they protested segregation, absorbed the beatings and marched across the Edmund Pettus bridge are watching and judging us. We are in the right and for the right. We are fighting for the good. Trumpism is UNAMERICAN. It is illiberal, demagogic, dishonest, cruel, corrupt and disgusting. Let us strike it down. We will. Vote. Have joy in this fight. RBG is with her husband again. She is arguing with Scalia and meeting Washington and Lincoln. Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass are there. Susan B. Anthony is there, and so is Elie Wiesel. A great champion of freedom has arrived in heaven. Her work is done. Her burden is now ours. Let us honor her legacy by doing our duty. FIGHT, REGISTER, VOTE. I DISSENT are the most American of words. Thank you, Madame Justice. May your memory be a blessing. We all know that it is. (I did a search and did not find it previously posted.)

Is your partner with you or in Thailand?

Interesting to see posts with names I don't recognize. Curious hasn't posted since April, Ethan since July. Now we welcome Jeff who is a new member. (Welcome, Jeff!) How do we keep new members interest in posting on this site? We see lots of new names, but most disappear after brief membership.

I know this: Junior believes in client confidentiality. Once when I was speaking with him I mentioned tomcal. He astutely denied the name meaning anything to him. My intentions were obviously friendly, but he wouldn't crack.

I was being facetious, Suckrates. I like your pictures.

Where's Rockhard when you need him?

My short password is not the problem. I log in from the home page, and when I go to the forums I am not logged in. I do so from the forum page and I'm in.

Adam, I think God is preoccupied with the election, the pandemic, the wildfires, poverty, and Beyonce's breasts to get to this issue here. There is no button where I can reply to you with a quote, just to reply to the topic.

I hope that it has been fixed now.

A porn movie could be fun!

Don't call his wife Demi.

Thanks for the interesting reports, @numazu1. I enjoy reading them and especially appreciate that you put some space in between paragraphs. That makes them easier for me to read.

Such a short post!

You won't be able to see it until you have ten posts.

Seven and a half years this thread has been dormant! Finally, someone realizes that muscle guys might have needs to trade!

I can't wait to see all of the new posts from our new members. Welcome, guys!

A troubling story in the Washington Post: "... the right-wing former army captain is more popular than at any time since the beginning of his presidency." https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/brazil-bolsonaro-coronavirus/2020/08/24/47a22cf6-e17a-11ea-8dd2-d07812bf00f7_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-more-top-stories_bolsinaro-640pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans

That meeting room looks more like a gathering of tassojuniors supporters here.

You like to change the parameters rather than admit defeat. You said ONE MILLION Black men were sent to prison for life. Yet there are only a half million Black prisoners in all state and federal prisons, and the bulk of that includes those sentenced for much shorter terms. On the pot smoking, you now cite stats that include other offenses such as possession, cultivation and sale, the latter two frowned upon more severely. AND you have broadened it to include the WHOLE state! Yet pot smokers going to jail specifically? YOU DON"T KNOW. I lived in SF. It was widely known that smoking in itself did not go anywhere even if cited. Don't forget. A DA is obligated to enforce the law. Discretion can be used, but a DA can't simply ignore the law.

She did not send thousands of people to prison for smoking marijuana. Those charges alone don't even make it to court. One million Black men to prison for life? Prove it. It hasn't happened.
