Trump & Clinton are both men of their era who believed they could have any woman they wanted as perks of their fame, power, or money.

Good thing that era no longer exists, huh? ..........right? 

There are a few more enlightened men out there.

Still there are a lot of John Lennons who told Tom Snyder on the Tomorrow show way back when I watched it regular that the reason he got into rock was for the chicks.  That there are girls who want a piece of show business so bad they will fuck the guy that cleans up after the elephant's.

Elon Musk sure seems to chase all the tail that catches his eye. 
His daddy as well.



It's a short-sightedness.

Even an addiction.
Sex with lots of women says "I'm a stud" 
Maybe makes up for self loathing.  Cover up inadequacy they feel.

Chase? Or just partake?

I'm a stud.........or I've got some wealth or fame.

Maybe some of you ladies just refuse to acknowledge the science/biology of the situation?   

You claimed to despise all of the church and it's oppressive teachings.......but embrace the notion that multiple partners is something to be ashamed of and to avoid?

I started this & it got eaten...

So that was hours ago.
Let's see...

There is a maturity to being able to be honest with another human being.
Casual sex/multiple partners is easier. You don't have to get to know the other person. You don't have to compromise. 

There is give & take in partnership. It's not all one person's way. One learns one has to accept some of the other person's wants & needs. 

It's not a prostitute servicing you.
It's not a fangirl notching celebs in her roster of who she's scored. 

You need to remember some names.

So, yeah, I see a certain selfish immaturity to someone not being able to commit.

Sex and monogamy are two different things, though. Nobody is arguing against the pros of monogamy. But you seem to be debating the facts of sexual drive. People all too often DO seek out the path of least resistance.

That's the part I find so funny coming from collectivists such as yourself. You know  it's extremely tough to find even one person to get along with and live together.....but somehow you figure collectivism and socialism is the clearly best option for billions of people with their own wants and desires?

Of course. Selfish and immature. You've pretty much summed up the male gender in general.     It's biological.

See, that's what I find amusing about you & the Clintons.
What a married couple decides together is their business. Even Roger Stone's swinger lifestyle, though I admit bias because the "friend" my husband hung out with that led to him getting gonorrhea was that type. Bill was the guy's name. Attorney. Cheated on his wife all over the place. So yeah, I see Roger Stone as the same slimeball.

The satanic church says a couple must be in agreement. If one wants monogamy but the other wants an open marriage it isn't fair to either for them to be together.

But if the couple agrees to an open.marriage which the Clintons seemed to, fine. I just think Bill was too stupid to keep it on the down low. 

A marriage can be seen as a corporation. It was the merging of 2 families in the day. Love had nothing to do with it. 

I believe prostitution should be legal
 Up front & open.

But all these guys like Musk seeking to conquer various targets be the women in bed or other companies are pretty immature. They are.playing monopoly which is a long, boring game.

But you didn't more connect him with BILL Clinton instead of Roger Stone? Personally, I don't care what couples voluntarily get up to, as well.

Satanists do not hold the monopoly on common sense like that.

He was too stupid to not hook up with interns. I just caught an olde interview with Christopher Hitchens and Charlie Rose (of all people, right?) He was talking about his book 1999 No One Left to Lie To: The Values of the Worst Family.........and he had nothing but contempt for Slick Willy. Not only for his behavior with women, but for becoming a typical president and allowing overseas wars to flare up and create death and destruction for profits.

I'm fine with that legalization.......even slight taxation. 

You and I may think it's immature......but I do not see you calling out the women? And he's clearly got enough money to support dozens more children. Unlike a good portion of this country these days.

All people named William are the same?
I've known many Williams.
Not as many Roger's. 

This was the 80s so the comparison to the political figures came after. Bill was a slimy jerk. Not a southern accent either.


Clinton was like a lot of guys. 
When I confronted my husband about cheating he said "I got it whenever I could". With him I  know it was ego. He didn't have much going for him. 

So, yeah I see Clinton more in that light. More horndog than sleezeball like Stone. Maybe it's the Nixon tattoo.
Add to it the power thing. The "I can have whoever I want because of who I am" Rockstar thing.

I don't hate Rockstar. 
I don't hate politicians like you do.

I see Stone as an advertiser. A marketing agent. Pyramid scheme.

And how about Musk insisting he's creating a school?
Texas Institute of Tech & Science.
Only when someone pointed out it should be Texas Institute of Science & Tech, he said no. T.I.T.S.

Such a mature man!

That's something my brain damaged hubby would say.
Beavis & Butthead.
I hated that show. 
Never watched it, but my husband did. Always saying crap off it. 


Don't you talk about how immature men.can be?

Oh yeah.
Our discussion on getting dogs fixed.
John Waters was the interview & mentioned neuticles. The minute he said it, I remembered reading about them.

Gregg Miller developed the idea for Neuticles after his bloodhound, Buck, was castrated to stop his wandering. Miller, along with a veterinarian, patented the procedure for implanting Neuticles. To sell his idea, Miller established CTI (Canine Testicular Implant) Corporation, and the first commercial Neuticles were implanted in 1995. Miller won the 2005 Ig Nobel Prize in Medicine, a parody of the real Nobel Prize, for the invention of Neuticles.

While recognizing that responsible pet ownership requires neutering, nonetheless, many pet owners find themselves uncomfortable with such a disfiguring procedure. The permanently altered appearance of their pet serves as a constant reminder of their surgical choice. Comments by strangers who misidentify the gender of the pet may serve to exacerbate this discomfort.

Shia LaBeouf says he has cheated on every woman he has ever been with. ‘I was a pleasure-seeking, selfish, self-centred, dishonest, inconsiderate, fearful human being.'

Shia LaBeouf has given a candid, two-hour interview about the abuse allegations that have been made against him, admitting that he has been unfaithful to every woman he has been with.

In December 2020, LaBeouf’s ex-girlfriend, the musician FKA twigs, sued him for “relentless abuse” including sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress

LaBeouf later denied causing twigs “any injury or loss”, saying that she was not “entitled to any relief or damages whatsoever”.

The trial date for twigs’s case against LaBeouf has been set for 17 April 2023.

In a new interview with The Walking Dead star Jon Bernthal on his podcast Real Ones, LaBeouf said: “I f***ed up bad. Like crash and burn type s***. I hurt a lot of people, and I’m fully aware of that. And I’m going to owe for the rest of my life."

He said he has a “long list of people that I need to make amends to”, admitting that he has “cheat[ed] on every woman I’ve ever been with” and never told his “sexual partners about getting cold sores”, which he acknowledged was “manipulative”.

Without naming twigs, he said: “I hurt that woman. And in the process of doing that, I hurt many other people, and many other people before that woman. I was a pleasure-seeking, selfish, self-centred, dishonest, inconsiderate, fearful human being.”

The actor added: “When I think about what my life has become, and what it is now, like what my purpose is now… I need to be useful. And when I look at this #MeToo environment, there’s not a whole lot of dudes that are taking accountability.”

He said that when his accuser first made allegations against him, he’d wanted to “hit Twitter and be like, ‘Look, I got receipts.’” But he said he has realised his accuser is a “saint” and “saved my f***ing life”.

LaBeouf said: “Had she not intervened in my life and not created the avenue for me to experience ego death, I’d either have a really mediocre existence or I’d be dead in full.”

The actor said he is “in the tribe of the f***-ups”, adding: “I’m a very public sinner, a very fallible person in the public sphere. What I think now my purpose is, is to not do… the other examples that we’ve had of how to navigate something like this — which is to go after the woman, or try to win a court case, or get back into a f***ing movie or like get back on at all.”

LaBeouf talked about a seeming support group he is in – a “squad” of “60 dudes” who he meets every day on Zoom at 6pm. They go on bike rides on Thursdays and hang out at the beach on Sundays

LaBeouf told Bernthal that going to rehab and raising a daughter with his wife, Emma star Mia Goth, have altered his outlook.

Bernthal told LaBeouf, on the podcast, that he is part of his “support system”. Promoting the interview on Instagram, he wrote: “Please join me for a conversation with my friend Shia. We discuss guilt, shame, making amends, friendship and so much more. I ask you to come with open eyes and an open heart. Big love y’all.”

So like lots of guys, get it as much as possible, but then he found something worth committing to.

Imagine that.

Before Mikhail Gorbachev's death, a close friend said the former USSR president was 'upset' at the state of Russia and felt his 'life's work' was ruined

Former USSR president Mikhail Gorbachev died Tuesday at the age of 91, Russian news agencies reported.

In July, a close friend told Forbes Russia that Gorbachev was "upset" with the current state of Russia.

The friend said Gorbachev felt that "his life's work" had been ruined.

A month before Mikhail Gorbachev's death, a close friend said the former USSR president was upset at the current state of Russia and felt that his "life's work" had been ruined

Russian media reported the death of Gorbachev on Tuesday, at the age of 91. Reports earlier this summer stated he was suffering from a serious kidney ailment.

Gorbachev was the last president of the Soviet Union before it collapsed. He helped end the Cold War and usher in a new age of warmer relationships between Moscow and the West.

About a month before his death, journalist Alexei Venidiktov, who was close friends with Gorbachev, expressed to Forbes Russia that Gorbachev was "upset" at the current state of Russia and felt that his "life's work" had been undone.

Venidiktov was interviewed about the closing of his radio station, following President Vladimir Putin's crackdown on the press in Russia following the invasion of Ukraine.


Venidiktov pointed out how a lot of the work Gorbachev did in office — tempering tensions with the West and granting citizens more freedoms — had been reversed recently under Putin. Putin stoked tensions with NATO by deciding to invade Ukraine in February, threatening broader conflict in Eastern Europe, and prompting widespread sanctions. At home, he's cracked down on dissension by censoring the press and arresting citizens who protest.

"What Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev did is all destroyed. All Gorbachev's reforms to zero, to ashes, to smoke... When Gorbachev left, there were 4,000 people left in NATO's rapid reaction force in Europe. Now NATO has announced that there will be 300,000 by the end of next year," Venidiktov said.

"I can tell you that Gorbachev is upset, of course, he understands. It was his life's work. Freedom is Gorbachev's business. Everyone has already forgotten who gave freedom to the Russian Orthodox Church. Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev. Private property — Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev. So what is he going to say now?"

Gorbachev never said anything publicly about his thoughts on the Ukraine war.



Over the years, he both criticized and praised Putin publicly, according to The Washington Post. The Post reported that Gorbachev commended Putin for helping to strengthen Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but worried about his limitations on a free press.

Putin had not yet commented on Gorbachev's death as of Monday afternoon.

Yeah, never mind what the US & NATO have been doing to Syria, Russia and other for years. They're just supposed to take it.......dry.

I notice no mention of Gorbachev's opinion on what the United States has done since his presidency to 'warm relations' with Russia. Why is that omitted?

Why don't you ask the friend?

Article didnt mention that.

He lives in Russia so he's probably been a tad more focused on what the leader of his country was doing to dismantle his work.

Sort of like when I point out I have no control over Saudi Arabia so while I may dislike how they treat LGBTQ, all I can do is boycott product from there where I can.

The chairman of Russia's Lukoil oil giant, Ravil Maganov, has died after falling from a hospital window in Moscow, reports say.

The company confirmed his death but said only that Maganov, 67, had "passed away following a severe illness".

Russian media said he was being treated at Moscow's Central Clinical Hospital and died of his injuries.

Maganov is the latest of a number of high-profile business executives to die in mysterious circumstances.

Investigating authorities said they were working at the scene to establish how he died. Tass news agency quoted sources saying he had fallen out of a sixth-floor window, adding later that he had taken his own life.

Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, the Lukoil board called for the conflict to end as soon as possible, expressing its sympathy to victims of "this tragedy".

Its billionaire president, Vagit Alekperov, resigned in April after the UK imposed sanctions on him in response to the invasion.

Several Russian energy oligarchs have died in unusual circumstances in recent months:

The body of millionaire Novatek former manager Sergei Protosenya was found alongside his wife and daughter at a Spanish villa in April;
A former vice-president of Gazprombank, Vladislav Avayev, was found dead with his wife and daughter in their Moscow flat, also in April;
In May, a former Lukoil tycoon Alexander Subbotin died of heart failure, reportedly after seeking alternative treatment from a shaman.

Lukoil is Russia's biggest private company. In its statement it said it was down to Maganov's managerial talent that it had evolved into one of the world's largest energy firms.

He began working for the private oil company in 1993 and took over as chairman two years ago.
