An American Tradition: A Guy Can Never be Too Safe
“President Peña of Paraguay is here. President. President, thank you very much. Young, handsome guy. It’s always nice to be young and handsome. Doesn’t mean we have to like you. I don’t like young, handsome men. Women, I like. Men, I don’t have any interest. Good. That’s right." DJR
Trump may have sold out on Epstein, forsook DOGE, surrendered to the military-industrial complex, and bowed to Israel, but I'm still glad I voted for him. At least I can use the word "faggot" again without fear of government-supported recrimination.
And I enjoy his throwback ways, like the quote above: "Oh, frick, I just said another man is handsome. I gotta be sure people know I'm not gay."
Though he could've made it pithier by saying:
"Young, handsome guy."
Pause.
"No homo."
It's a venerable American tradition. When I drafted the bylaws of a local men's club back in the 1990s, I added the following membership requirement: "Applicants must not have engaged in any homosexual activity within the past 200 years." And then, if any men declined to join, I pointed to that clause, nodded with sympathy (not empathy, btw), and thanked them for outing themselves. They'd then hurriedly scratch out an application.
The problem with this great tradition is, well, it kinda alienates homos. And there are plenty of homos, including at high levels of government. So they feel like they need to stay in the closet, which is where the Mob or Mossad or M16 gets pictures of them blowing some dude, then the Diabolical Ms have 'em by the scrotal retention unit.
So do we get rid of the societal construct that legitimizes heterosexual sex only?
Naw, we just have to get rid of people who believe in things like "societal constructs."
And then get rid of the high levels of government that make it worthwhile to blackmail its employees.
That'd take care of it.
But since that ain't gonna happen anytime soon, I think we need to strap ourselves in for a continued bumpy and corrupt ride.
