84 Days

On Sunday night, the New York Times published a highly detailed, deeply researched and sourced article (link here) about the nearly three month period during which Donald Trump's Ukrainian scandal unfolded. The piece is titled "Behind the Ukraine Aid Freeze: 84 Days of Conflict and Confusion" and with the secondary title of "The inside story of Trump's demand to halt military assistance to an ally shows the price he was willing to pay to carry out his agenda."

Greg Sargent at the Washington Post wrote an excellent, much shorter piece yesterday (link here) breaking down why the Times piece was so important and why it's so damning for Trump and his Republican enablers.

If only have time to read one of these pieces, then I suggest you go with the shorter Sargent story

Unfortunately, neither article will likely move GOP sentiment much on Capitol Hill. But the Sargent piece will hammer home for them the extreme price they will likely pay for their failure to act.

Backfired

Donald Trump's tariffs on various imports, instead of boosting the economy, caused job loses and higher prices, according to a study by the Federal Reserve released last week (details here). This should surprise no one who took even a basic economics course in high school or college.

Tariffs have a long history of being inflationary and hampering economic growth, particularly in the long term. That's why many first world countries largely moved away from them during the last century.

Indeed, part of the reason the Great Depression in the 1930s was so long and so severe was because the imploding economy was further burdened by new tariffs.

Trump alternatively brags that he went to Wharton and also that he never read the assigned texts and rarely attended classes. It's no wonder he seems entirely clueless about how tariffs are bad policy.

But it also demonstrates how the Republican Party — which strongly opposed tariffs up until 2016 — so blindly follow Trump, cheering on the very policies they vehemently opposed only three years ago.

Trump likes to portray himself as an economic genius, but in reality he's an economic charlatan. On that note, Steven Piersanti wrote an excellent piece at Raw Story yesterday (link here) with the title "Trump runs the country just like he ran his bankrupted businesses: The national debt is skyrocketing while economic growth is lagging."

The economy may seem strong now. But anyone who has weathered past recessions will know that prosperity can be very deceiving. An apparently strong economy can suddenly flatline within a matter of weeks, as was seen in the final year of the George W. Bush presidency.

When that happens to Trump's economy, who will he try to blame? Because, surely, he'll never admit he was wrong.

Blink

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made a fatal mistake when he openly admitted he was colluding with the White House on how to have a short, perfunctory impeachment trial of Donald Trump with a predetermined verdict.

As a result, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has the upper hand and has put a hold on transmitting the articles of impeachment to the Senate (details here) until McConnell agrees on an honest, objective trial.

And now there are cracks in the wall on the GOP side with more moderate Republicans expressing displeasure at McConnell's strategy. Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski has openly criticized McConnell's approach (details here). And a Democratic Senator has revealed as many as ten Republican Senators are expressing similar displeasure behind closed doors (details here).

While Trump's removal requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate, only a simple majority is needed to determine how the trial would take place. So only a handful of GOP Senators are needed to break away from the pack in order to force McConnell's hand.

If you live in a state with a more moderate or independent Republican Senator, now is the time to demand he or she step forward and demand a fair, honest, and objective trial. You can find a directory with contact information for all current Senators here.

Hairy Beasts

If you like big, hairy, inked musclebears, this video is for you. These two blokes rather resemble each other, too, giving the scene an incest subtext.

Grim

On Thursday, Slate published a well written but bleak article (link here) about the effect of so many Donald Trump-nominated judges in the Fifth Circuit, the federal court system in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.

The piece notes that Trump has now nominated a fifth of all federal trial judges and a quarter of all federal appellate judges. Of course, Trump himself hasn't picked them but, instead, allowed the extremist Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society to make all the choices for him.

Nowhere has the impact been felt more than in the Fifth Circuit, how dominated by far-right judges. And, sadly, this effect will linger for decades, given judges are nominated to lifetime terms.

The only possible glimmer of hope, which the article does not mention, is that the turnover rate for young, inexperienced judges is significantly higher than for those later in their professional lives. Some — and hopefully many — will be tempted to monetize their experience on the bench, resign, and then take up a lucrative slot in a prestigious law firm.

In the meantime, Trump's judges will continue to attack civil rights and laws protecting American citizens by completely ignoring judicial precedent, which is necessary in the United States.

It's always darkest before dawn, but in this matter, it will still be dark for quite some time.

Big Submissive Bottom

John Thomas is the big hot bottom in this scene. He's done fourteen hardcore scenes to date, always as a bottom. He's British, 6'3, 200 pounds, and in his early thirties. He keeps a Twitter page (link here) where he posts some original hardcore content.

Into the Abyss

The Washington Post published a very disturbing article yesterday (link here) about how the White House essentially has no Russian or Ukrainian expert advisers to the President, and that intelligence assistance is crippled, because of Donald Trump's endless meltdown over his impeachment.

This kind of deficiency seriously threatens America's national security.

Consider this excerpt from the piece:

"The new Russia adviser at the White House — the third in just six months — has no meaningful background on the subject. The only expert on Ukraine has never spoken with President Trump, only been mocked by him publicly."

"The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv will soon be without its highest-ranking diplomat for the second time in a year, as another ambassador departs after being undermined by the U.S. president and his personal attorney."

"The CIA analyst who triggered the impeachment inquiry continues to work on issues relating to Russia and Ukraine, but when threats against him spike — often seemingly spurred by presidential tweets — he is driven to and from work by armed security officers."

If this was happening with a Democratic President, Republicans on Capitol Hill would be beyond apoplectic. That would be demanding impeachment and removal.

Because it's a Republican in the White House, however, they insist everything's fine and that the problem is all with the Democrats.

If this nation is faced with any kind of crisis — a terrorist attack, a major natural disaster, a national security threat — we will only see too late what a catastrophic fuckup as President Trump has turned out to be.

This may not end well but, instead, very, very badly. What a dark place the end of 2019 is turning out to be.

Friday, Friday

As the last full week of the decade draws to a close, a goofy song called "Friday, Friday," sung to the tune of "Monday, Monday," is bouncing around in my head. Presented here for your enjoyment is another weekly installment with an instant porn collection. Today's selection features nearly sixteen hundred photos from twenty hardcore shoots released just within the last week. To download the complete collection in a free zipped folder, click here.

The Holy Man

Donald Trump has wailed endlessly about the alleged war on Christmas. He's also wrapped himself in the mantle of being a great champion for Christianity, claiming to be "born again."

So one would expect he'd be super reverential and religious at Christmas time.

Not so. He whined endlessly on Christmas Eve about how unfair the impeachment was. He proudly proclaimed that his "gift" to America was a good economy, ignoring how it's not as strong as it was under Obama.

At his various websites, you can find a lot of Christmas merchandise for sale, but curiously it's entirely secular. No manger scenes. No guiding star ornaments. No holy family memorabilia. It's just a lot of overpriced stuff with Trump's name and face all over it, like a roll of wrapping paper for thirty dollars that will wrap three small boxes.

But nothing puts the Christ back into Christmas more than a new website that Trump unveiled on Christmas Eve to help his supporters provoke family fights during the holiday season (details here).

What a godly thing to do.

(Sarcasm mode off.)

Boxing Day Without Boxers

If you're from the UK or a commonwealth nation or a former empire country, you probably celebrate Boxing Day today. If you're from the United States or another country outside the British realm, you probably do not. Wherever you're from, Boxing Day is as good a day as any to lose your boxers and have at the man you love.

The originals for the images below are larger than they appear here and are part of a large collection featuring more than twelve hundred photos from sixteen different hardcore shoots released within the last two weeks. To download the complete group in a free zipped folder, click here.

Ho Ho Ho

Happy Holidays to you and yours. May you spend a memorable day with the ones you hold most dear. (No porn or politics today. They will resume tomorrow.)

Peace and love and health and happiness to you all.

Windy

Over the weekend, Donald Trump gave a speech to young conservatives. Consider this short excerpt:

"We'll have an economy based on wind. I never understood wind. You know, I know windmills very much. I've studied it better than anybody. I know it's very expensive. They're made in China and Germany mostly -- very few made here, almost none. But they're manufactured tremendous -- if you're into this -- tremendous fumes. Gases are spewing into the atmosphere. You know we have a world, right? So the world is tiny compared to the universe. So tremendous, tremendous amount of fumes and everything. You talk about the carbon footprint -- fumes are spewing into the air. Right? Spewing. Whether it's in China, Germany, it's going into the air. It's our air, their air, everything -- right? So they make these things and then they put them up."

What the fuck is he talking about?

This is why I can never understand why people support him. If you listen to what he's saying, he sounds like a blithering idiot.

I am reminded of Being There, a brilliant novel by Jerzy Kosinski turned into a terrific movie written by Kosinski and starring Peter Sellers and Shirley MacLaine. A simple-minded gardener is mistakenly thought to be a profound genius and people want him to run for President. And now we have life imitating art.

But keep speaking Donald. Keep reminding people you're a confused, babbling fool. You're talking yourself into losing your reelection bid. So keep it up.

Horny Elves

Gabriel Phoenix is the furry top here and he looks great. I'm glad porn world seems to be moving away having every last male in their stable smooth and hairless.

In the Dead of Night

Late Friday night, after being compelled to do so by court order, the Trump administration released emails that considerably weakened Donald Trump's impeachment defense (details here and here).

The emails show that Trump ordered a freeze on military aid to Ukraine a mere 91 minutes after his now infamous July 25 telephone call with the president of that country. As has now been well established, Trump blocked $400 million in congressionally approved military aid to extort Ukraine into investigating potential 2020 rival Joe Biden.

The email release also shows Trump's direct involvement in the aid withholding and that his staff knew this was wrong and conspired to keep it secret.

This release also suggests that the summary of the call released by the White House — which Trump wrongly calls a transcript — omits Trump applying more "or else" pressure on Ukraine.

The fact that the administration released the emails in the dead of night shows they're hoping no one will notice. That, however, was a foolish assumption because already the media and Capitol Hill have taken notice.

Unfortunately, Senate Republicans will likely ignore the release, rationalizing it as still not an "impeachable offense." One is left wondering if a video was released showing Trump smothering children whether that, too, would not be an impeachable offense in Republican eyes.
