What a delusional desperate dumbfuck!

I've had it with Trump. Now, no matter what he supposedly says, whatever the fucked-up "main stream" media report about him saying, or what his followers say, there can be only one response, and it is really short:

"You believe that shit?"

Nothing else deserves to be said. He does not deserve any attention, which is his fuel. He just lies, so what is the point of even listening to him. Let him fuck around all he wants, but also do nothing to give him any recognition, good or bad. Stop reporting on him. Nothing to see here, moving on. ,,,and he will melt the fuck down and be gone.

To Canadians, Trump is a bloviating idiiot when it comes to foreign affairs, but being polite, Canadians remain silent but royally pissed.

He is about to take back command of the world’s greatest armed forces, yet does not see the irony in his “joking” about Canada becoming a US state.

Like Russia taking over Ukraine, such an action, the invasion of a neighbouring sovereign nation, is deeply offensive and hypocritical.

Americans seem so upset about immigrants invading, who just want to pick your vrops, have a life, and pay taxes, but y’all would go ahead and annex Canada for its abundant resources if you could. Fuck what it’s people think.

Like Ukraine, Canada is a sovereign NATION, that will resist assimilation To The Death!

Only a fucking moronic leader “jokes” about it.

He is looking really old and tired. I bet the guy on the right is prepping to 25th Amendment himself into office soon.

Am I wrong in saying all one had to do is open up X, and look at the top of the "For you" feed, and there is Elon, retweeting some RWNJ bullshit?
[I am using the past tense because ever since the 2024 election night, Elon's X got X'ed off my phone forever. BlueSky seems to be a good pre-Elon-infected Twitter equivalent.]

From the other side of the world - you voted for him - now you have to put up with him for 4 years - if he doesn't die of lead poisoning first.

If trump either dies or is 25th-Amended out of office (which may be part of the Plan), Vance then holds the power.

That possibility is scary. Vance is not as stupid and weak as the other trump appointees, whom trump chose just because he would not want anyone that exceeds his diminished intelligence making him look bad..

We tenants in the upper apartment above the fentanyl lab are concerned. If only we could pick our neighbours and our relatives...

The mass deportation thing is just bullshit for the most ignorant base party supporters. The practical reality is it won't happen.

Logistically, how do to round up and deport millions of people, without spending billions in salaries for the people needed for rounding up the people being deported? How do you move and where do you put the people you rounded up while you arrange for their deportation? Who pays for their transportation and boarding.

Some to be deported have skills that will be missed, and hard to replace. Once you start removing people, who will pick your fruits and vegetables, work in your food processing plants, build your cars, clean your mansions, or make up for the lost tax revenue those that were deported once payed in income taxes? How will the economy withstand the sudden loss of such a high percentage of the population?

You should not need a degree in economics to see it's totally impractical. The only value it had was as a false promise for political gain.

But you get people like that leftist crack pot racist Sunny Hostin ...

Getting a little pungent already, I think. Best to disengage.

Quote by Longtime_Firsttime
Think of what they could have done with that money to help our own people in need. Charity always starts at home. Always. And do you think someone like Nancy Pelosi would like to pay her share in taxes? How did she become so rich anyway on her income? Something stinks about that woman.

When it comes to money, be sure your views cannot be seen as hypocritical. I'm sure I do not have to say much more than that, The devil is always in the details....like ... who was it again that spent charity funds supposedly for child cancer victims on his own business?? Oh yeah, here's the link to the article in Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2019/12/23/best-stories-of-the-decade-how-donald-trump-shifted-kids-cancer-charity-money-into-his-business/

I think there is a lot of money also in the hands of religious organizations that could be spread around more in line with their guiding principles to help the poor, instead of being used to buy big mansions and private jets, It's just a suggestion, if you do not want to look hypocritical..

With respect to spending on Ukraine, have you ever seen the movie "Red Dawn"? The simplified plot: aliens invade your homeland and want to take over, so you fight the bastards. You are so damn fixated on just your own American homeland that you cannot put yourselves into the shoes of the Ukranians, fighting for their existence against an invating tyrannical force that wants to wipe out Ukraine as a distinct nation? Russians and her allies are a force that could just keep going after winning Ukraine, into Latvia, Estonia, Poland... just like in the most recent World War. You have heard of it, I hope, The Fascists lost, did you hear? I learned about it in History class. Look at American history too. Ukrainians are fighting for their Independence. How more "America-like" can it get than that?

Think more outside your little private fiefdom of idealized purity... because its just not sustainable. Put yourself in other people's shoes, because amongst other things, there IS only one earth, and we better fucking learn how to get along together and treat it and each other with respect if we are going to survive.

There's something off when the richest guy makes $1000 for a fart's worth of time, and is not willing to pay a little extra via a reasonable progressive income tax. How many problems could be addressed if the ultra-rich would hand over at least 50% of their annual income as they once did (from about 1915 up to the early 80's). They would still be the richest, having many millions in after-tax income. That money might help everyone to be a little less grumpy, a little more comfortable, a little more invested in solving problems and learning new things ... .like the way it was, at a time most conservatives dream about returning to.

Quote by CuriousAnnie

Interesting, Post Covid the US economy seems to have performed better than comparable countries. I had read in our local press in the lead up to the election that US median household income in 2023 was over $80,600, an increase of 4.0 percent, having adjusted for inflation. I thought the Democrats would get credit for that, jobs and even inflation where the US really has out performed many other countries.

Then I googled today and saw this Median Income breakdown, which may have more explanatory power:

No high school diploma $36,620 + 1.1

High school, no college $55,810 + 4.3

Some college $73,610 +3.1

Bachelor’s degree or higher $126,800 + 3.1

Indeed, it does not have the appearance of a failure, but the media did a great job of suppressing the truth, by either not reporting it, or making sure reporting is "balanced" (i.e. guaranteed to be both-sides and half-wrong, to confuse people).

I wondered how much C-suite occupant's salaries have gone up relative to the workers that produce the wealth. I looked it up: 1460% since 1978 for the CEOs. That's even more than the stock market increased. Meanwhile, worker pay over the same period went up just 18%.

How about the ultra-rich that pretty much own the media, like Murdick, Bozos and Mush? I bet they've seen an over 100% annual increase in their income. And the ultra-rich got a drop in taxes, both personal and corporate, thanks to the trump shit-show.

That's the new "American Way": take full advantage of the positive feedback loop of "Success", get "too big to fail", and leave all the rest of the rabble in your dust, not giving a shit about them... because you can.

I think we've found what "fucked this country to its foundation": Greed, selfishness, and stupidity.

Quote by Longtime_Firsttime
... I vote based history/policy and the last 4 years told me that the Biden/Harris era was a complete disaster. And I voted for them in 2020. So say what you want. Defend them all you want, but they have fucked this country to its foundation....

Seeing how their administration brought back a lot of jobs, a booming economy, a useful infrastructure plan (that their opposition liked to take credit for, even though they voted against it), and helped out many with crushing student debt (thus investing in the entire nation's future, in effect), can someone please explain to this this dumb Canuck what the "complete disaster" was that "fucked this country to its foundation" ?

Unbelievable, waking up today. America sure is majorly fucked up.

Quote by Magical_felix

Bizarre

The former guy's family is arguably guilty of elder abuse, allowing an obviously sundowning demented old man make a total incoherent ass of himself handjobbing imaginary dicks. Even mainstream media can't adequately sane-wash this idiot's blatantly obvious deterioration, and they are finally starting to report a sliver of truth about his unfitness for duty. It probably means they see backing him is no longer going to be lucrative. if the cognitive time-bomb gets elected, you will likely see 48 Vance take over via the 25th Amendment before Christmas 2025 .

You really want the TheoBro lying sack of shit in power, and all the Project 2025 bullshit he has been supporting?

America, wake the fuck up already!

Quote by Magical_felix
If he wins he will kick all the immigrants out in two weeks… or two weeks after that

I'd like to know who is gonna pick all the crops and do a lot of the jobs that the removed people do on a daily basis. I worry about how he handles those being removed. Will it be concentration camps, maybe even gas chambers? Who is going to build those camps, and staff them?

Oh, i get it now! The tariff on all imports will pay for everything. No problem...except who ultimately pays the extra that tariffs will cause to the costs of all goods the remaining white people need to exist? if you think inflation is bad now, just wait 'til the Idiot imposes tariffs AND there are lots of jobs that no one is doing any more..

Look how the Fucker handled immigrant families under his administration, separating kids from parents in such a way as to make it near impossible to reunite them. Is there any justification to treat people with that level of cruelty? Are you that paranoid that your white culture is gonna die if you do not purify the population?

How far will you go? Full-Nazi??

Why the fuck would you ever support the Orange Moron?

Quote by Dani

As Florida braces for a Category 5 hurricane:

My bet is they will all be saying their Orange God will save the day once he defeats evil. It seems all part of their approach to supporting the real needs of real people: Do nothing, or even better, set up roadblocks. Create a "Crisis" that only he can solve, or that the "ruling party" can profit from.

Despicable fucking assholes, all of 'em.

Quote by dannig
I have a feeling it will get much more close than it looks at the moment.

If the media accurately and widely reports, and people take the time to understand, the recent filing by Jack Smith, they will see there is a lot of potentially damning evidence that the the 2020 Presidential Election was in fact nearly stolen. The side whining the most that it was "stolen" was the side trying to steal a win. They lost, and they knew they lost, and then they tried a lot to overturn the will of the majority of voters. For that, they do not deserve to win this time, or even run again. Why is it close??

IF the Electoral College votes cannot all be certified, then the decision should fall back to relying on the popular vote, not the will of a handful of elected politicians, politically-appointed judges, corporations, or billionaires.

Can't wait to clean up this shit-stain

Looking in from just outside the USA, you get a different, more objective perspective. The increasingly highly polarized USA media, essentially going along with what the billionaire class dictates, has caused a near fatal clash of two camps that seem to hate each other to death. It looks like y'all will be fucked up badly if the GOP holds power or worse, tries again to lie and steal their way to power. The media c-suites and media owners obviously want trump because they can make more $$$ with him in the WH, and they keep more money with more tax cuts. No one seems to care about decency, telling the truth, or feeling ashamed about lying or acting corruptly.
Meanwhile, things look really bad for everyone not making $200K/yr, and for most of the civil service that actually gets shit done. Years of neglecting civics education and neglecting science education has turned most Americans into blithering self-entitled idiots. The only winners, no mattter who wins the election, will be the top 0.1% , the true "deep state". America is already half-fucked. It would be totally fucked if trump gets back in.
You have to give Biden and the Democrats in power some credit for waiting until the GOP locked in their slate from hell before having Biden fall in his sword. Brilliant tactical, selfless move to give America the best shot of remaining a beacon of democracy..No candidate is going to be perfect, but at this point, ABT - Anyone But Trump.. Anything but Project 2025, the road to Gilead.

That “truth” statement should be damning. He denied “knowing anything” about Project 2025, then in the same statement said there eere paers of it that he disagreed with. You can’t disagree with something you know nothing about.

So, the the opposite of all he said is likey what he really believes: “II know all about Project 2025 (written for me by ‘very fine people’) and I love every bit of it because I hold all the power.”

It seems one statement he made might be true, about main-stream media being “fake news”. It mostly is reporting every Presiddntial, fartt whilr the other guy, the convicted felon, is never reported on when he has his own increasinngly obvious sundowning “senior moments”

SMH seeing how many people seem so gullible.

Perhaps the important question for all in America who visit LushStories is "What is the future for porn?".

If the Project 2025 whackadoodle plans are implemented, presumably by the GOP candidate, then bye-bye Lush, and hide yourselves from getting arrested, y'all.

Why do I say that? well, its in black and white here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24088042-project-2025s-mandate-for-leadership-the-conservative-promise

This is a quote from the Preface of the Project 2025 "Mandate for Leadership" [pg 37 of 920 in the full PDF version for authoritarian rule of America]

"PROMISE #1: RESTORE THE FAMILY AS THE CENTERPIECE OF AMERICAN LIFE AND PROTECT OUR CHILDREN ...

[Pornography] has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. [emphasis added] Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered."

Knowing the above, who would you absolutely never vote for?

Quote by Eve

In the sex cinema with five guys, three came in my mouth and two in my pussy.

That cinema would get my business!

I find the political gymnastics to avoid the obvious solutions quite fascinating. The root cause of the problem appears to be poor education, either on safe gun handling, or on critical thinking that would enable one to see that gun injuries and deaths are way higher in the US than practically everywhere else in the world. Kids are scared shitless, and it is damaging them for life.

It's easy enough to google this: "Guns are the leading cause of death for US children and teens, since surpassing car accidents in 2020. Firearms accounted for nearly 19% of childhood deaths (ages 1-18) in 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wonder database. Nearly 3,600 children died in gun-related incidents that year."

So, whatever is being done now, it ain't working.

There something extremely intimate and rewarding about performing good oral on a woman. But there are also a few challenges.

Sadly there are selfish men out there that do not put in the effort, or that implicitly or explicitly demand reciprocation. Or, perhaps a woman was raised to believe that its "dirty" and forbidden.

Some women deprived of the pleasure have reported having their first really good orgasm, ever, from good oral - this despite her being in her twenties or older, already being a non-virgin, and even married for years. I live for such accomplishments.

A man should be willing to treat the experience as the extremely intimate and special thing he is being permitted to do. He should endeavour to always learn how he can improve, by always being aware of how she is feeling and reacting to his touch, so he can adapt. One can never get enough practice, and every woman is different. But that is what makes it so very pleasurable, discovering what excites her the most, typically even more than intercourse.

Honestly, a woman should insist on nothing less from a man going down on her, because there are plenty of men out there that are very keen to perform. If he's not into it, or not that good at it, he's not the guy you want.

Still no joy. "Link Removed"

Sorry to see these features are now gone:

- favourite stories

- authors to follow

- reading queue

- ability to pause/continue chat

- announcement of friends that log in

- announcement of when a person arrives or leaves room

There seems to be a diminished focus on stories, and more of a slant towards hook-up/chat, including the "whole world" in the lounge, versus rooms with more limited capacity, in which pics are not flying by before they even have time to properly load and display.  

Perhaps a name change, from "Lushstories" to "LushChat", would be more representative of the current focus.

I honestly believe that edging makes it possible for me to be multi-orgasmic.  I feel like I am cumming once, and if the stimulation continues, again in about 5-10 seconds, and maybe sometimes a third time in another 5-10 seconds.  While it may not result in additional ejaculate to cum more than once, it does have the intense feeling of repeated climaxes, so who cares if there is ejaculate?  

Needless to say, the feeling is great, both getting there and finishing.  If your partner is  conscientious giver, and can can learn the signs and take you to the edge, repeated times, you have found a sex god(dess) and you have been given a rare gift.  They will take great delight in teasing the shit out of you, knowing it will greatly intensify your climax! Treat that partner with the utmost respect, because you may never find someone better suited to giving you such intense pleasure.
