It's these little chips in the Republican Wall of Trump that gives me hope that America will finally clearly see that the emperor has no clothes, as disgusting an image as that may present considering who the emperor is!

They should have left the teeny weeny.

Safety is obviously the #1 issue, but I also would love to see a new group of boys back at the house creating new scenes........I'm sure these are tough decisions for Mark and Sha about filming new scenes.

Availability of virus testing will be the only answer. The boys are all horny after a four month layoff. With testing to insure that it is safe, I'm sure that they are ready to go at it!

Let’s hope it’s soon. Even with these older scenes things just don’t seem exciting. I hope they get back to more interesting scenes soon.

Prioritizing how to safely resume porn filming in the state should be Kemp's first order of business...before trivial issues like the re-opening of schools.

That’s exactly right Tampa, first things first!

I did read that Governor Asshole (I mean Kemp) withdrew his lawsuit seeking an injunction against the Mayor of Atlanta for ordering that face masks be worn in public. Both the Governor and Mayor took oaths of office to protect the public health safety and welfare. The Mayor took her oath seriously, and not only did the Governor refuse to do comply with his sworn oath, but he also went to Court to seek to stop the Mayor from doing her job. For this, Governor Kemp will go down in history as the worst Governor in the history of the United States with blood of innocent Georgians on his hands!

It does amaze me how cavalier some folks are taking this epidemic. The current death rate is 4.6 per 100,000 which is one of the top 10 death rates in the world. As important if not more important is the fact that doctors are discovering that those who are infected even if not being subjected to a serious bout are having serious side effects. Yesterday there was an article on a medical study showing that people who had minimal symptoms were now discovering changes to their hearts as if they had suffered a mild infarction. The long term effects of this disease on seemingly healthy members of the population may turn out far worse in the long term than they realize now. Some of us posting here are old enough that we can barely remember the polio epidemic and how seriously people took that. This hodgepodge of rules with one state having no rules or relaxed rules while an adjacent state has different rules is absurd. We need a coordinated, national plan to address this disease and we do not have one. I saw a tv new bit on KPIX regarding some family in Auburn CA who have moved to Florida because they want their 14-year old son to play football his Freshmen year of high school because they think he is good enough to go pro. Just stop and think of how incredibly absurd and twisted their logic is to make a decision like that. I just hope that no one in the family or near them is harmed by this foolishness.

I have been spending the summer working on my parents' home in Illinois. My sister and I are discussing what we are going to do with it but it is 60 years old and needs to have some preventive maintenance and some repairs done regardless of what we do with it. So I have been in Bloomington-Normal and I have to say that most people here are compliant with the mask and distancing regulations. Most stores are enforcing them strictly. The biggest issue I have seen is the students are starting to come back for fall semester at the university and they seem to have a larger percentage that simply ignores the rules. I went by one of the local student pubs last night and the back patio was filled with kids hanging out far too close to each other, no masks, and no one seeming to care.

You are right juanjo that it is the younger people who seem to be the main contributors to spreading the virus now. Two examples are the two dozen lifeguards at Long Beach Island, New Jersey who tested positive after attending parties there. And I think one dozen or more Miami Marlins baseball players testing positive as well. These are all young healthy guys and of course they can spread it to their families and whoever they come in contact with.....

Isn't it awful how a health crisis has become so politicized? You have the virus deniers who swear up and down it's all a hoax to control the brainwashed population and take away its freedoms. Or the virus is a liberal hoax whose sole purpose to harm Trump in the next election. Or if you wear a mask you are a cowardly spineless chump. I'm so sick of the B.S.

You made the point well. One can't help but ascribe at least partial blame to the failure of US national leadership to send a clear message as opposed to mixed messages for political purposes.

If we needed any more proof that Trump wants to abolish inconvenient democratic elections and become dictator-for-life like his fuck-buddy Vladimir Putin... There's this golden nugget trial balloon that he floated yesterday:

“With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???"

 

[elyot1]

Thankfully he himself can't do this. A trial baloon happily rejected even by republicans. He's scary.

Amen to that. I was actually surprised that so many Republicans came out against Trump's brilliant idea. It IS a scary state of affairs when you actually have to wonder if a major American political party is going to support delaying/cancelling elections that in the moment are not looking promising for an incumbent.

Mitch McConnell is already telling Republican senators to distance themselves from Trump if necessary. They’re scared of their chances in November. I wonder if Lady G is scared.

I hope lady G has to pick up her hoop skirts and get the hell out of town this November, along with her turtle neck buddy, Moscow Mitch.

I'm surprised that Susan Collins is actually in a good or decent position to win her election from the little bit that I'm hearing. She must have a very weak Democratic challenger up there. To me she is a "moderate Republican" only in her own mind. On paper she is a reliable hard-core Republican. She goes on and on about how "concerned" she is about Trump's many failings of leadership. But then when push comes to shove in the age of Trump, from what I can tell she always comes through with that reliable Republican vote. Who cares if she's all woolly sheepish about issues in press conferences, or is an unapologetic hyper-partisan bulldog like a Ted Cruz? If the end result is the same?

If I were a moderate Democrat or moderate Republican constituent of hers in a progressive state like Maine I wouldn't give a flip about how worried, "concerned" or conflicted she was internally about Trump's escalating authoritarianism and the corrupt Republican acquiescence to same on the national level. I'd be voting for or against her based on what she was doing with all of that supposed "concern" and which way she was actually voting in the Senate.

Are there any Mainers in here or those close enough to the neighborhood to explain some of the local dynamics of the Senate race up there?
