It boggles the mind how this child — I can’t even call him a man child — can have the support of such a large percentage of the country. He’s like a middle school tween girl in personality and temperament. The list of disqualifications for Trump to ever be President again is longer than the Manhattan phone book (when there was such a thing), but this . . . a 77 year old man publicly comparing his body to an 80 year old man is bizarre and juvenile. But bizarre and juvenile may be some of the best descriptors for Trump. SMH
Yes, Trump is a human (anatomically anyway!) and humans do have a body. However, that is where the conversation should stop. Anything that he’s says after that is a LIE.
More than a hater like you will ever be. You and your different monikers comes in spew BS day after day and most of the time no where intelligent. Why don’t you just go and live in a right wing hate site-that’s more your speed.
LOL shaver and inbama are the same pos troll and now we see they have come up with yet another profile. You fool no one. YOU are the ones trying to separate the trans community from all oof us. gay people but you wont be able too. The right has stated more than once that is their ‘PLAN” which is to separate us all into smaller groups and pick us off one by one and we know you are just trying to pitch in to their hate fueled stupid ass plan there in your mom’s basement. BUT IT WONT WORK. We love all EXCEPT bigoted dishonest children like YOU so screw off whatever account you are using at the moment
He’s a GAY man, and as a GAY man is entitled to his own opinions — especially about GAY icons.
If that bothers a QUEER-IDENTIFIED control-freak like you, too bad. Now go upstairs and tell mommy to iron your skirt or you’ll be late to your “Queers For Palestine” rally.
every time. but which profile will he be using today Inbama or shavers or the new ones. We should make a drinking game out of this assholes posts which are so tiresome in their anti trans nonsense. We dont abandon allies like the right does and trump does daily turning on his “BEST people” who overnight become losers or inept when it is that fat bastard who is incompetent and lazy. What a laugh when they said they’d make him the speaker. that lady bitch would never show up
I’m with txlthrboy on this one. The video felt like a 3:27 long, musical sneer at Christmas, gay men, cruising, sex and just about anything related to the above list. All negative vibes. Off-putting.
every single time they can not handle a strong lesbian. It will always and I mean ALWAYS bring out the trolls they cant resist. then when they come for her they try the anti trans bullshit trying to pull us all apart because we love each other and dont have to force people to be who they aren’t
LOL! Trump actually posted a 40 year old picture of himself playing tennis after he attempted to compare his body to Joe Biden’s??? AND the picture he used is not at all flattering! He would not have mentioned Joe Biden unless he was enraged with jealousy because Joe is think and trim and Donald is not. His mind stopped evolving when he was in Junior High and his actions prove it day after day.
Did you notice how teeny Trump’s hands are in that tennis serve shot? Is that an optical illusion or what? Biden’s physique at 80 speaks to his commitment to health, discipline and self-care, all of which are reflected in his politics.
Hey Baron let’s look at trumps hair what’s left of it. It is dyed a different shade every month and he has a hairstylist come in to do it and he cant go outside if its raining (like to visit the hallowed graves of D Day dead) he wears lifts so high heels , make up and a girdle. He is one set of press on nails from being in the next season of RUPaul. Let’s all think of a good drag name for this bitch. how about LIZA ALOT. I challenge ally out there to give donnie his drag name.with that hair he is a natural scary queen
That’s not a very flattering photo of skinny Jaden Smith, but I always thought he was tres cool during his thin, androgynous phase. Always killed when it came to fashion and style. Curious to see how he’s going to dress his muscular new physique.

Sad about Terrence Davies. “Distant Voices, Still Lives” and “The Long Day Closes” are two of my favorite movies. Really beautiful.
Kangol2
He was one of the great 20th century British gay/queer filmmakers and too underappreciated. He really deserves his own memorial article on here.
barryaksarben
mine too. Just masterpieces. I have turned so many friends on to these movies
dbmcvey
Trump talking about his bodies made me throw up a little.
still_onthemark
Thankfully there are no photos of his bigly beach body.

I keep seeing that fat derriere in shorts playing golf…I’ve always referred to him as the Waddler in Chief. Lumbering Oaf.

Extraordinary how the decline of one of the world’s great empires was brought about by a clown.

As though an anti-trans conservative zealot has anything to say about who is a gay icon and who isn’t.
carllonghorn
Nailed it! Whenever I see “ShaverC” anywhere on this site, I just move on. Never a comment in support of the community, ever.
ShaverC
Carllonghorn, Not true. I support the gay community taking back the LGB from the alphabet mafia.

Well, this brought out all the conservative anti-trans sock puppets.
barryaksarben

Glad to see Maluma handle the unwanted grope like a man and not break out in tears like some here.
txlthrboy
Matt Rogers’ video is sexy, sure, but the song itself is just…. not. Not sexy, not catchy, and DEFINITELY not Christmas!
dbmcvey
I saw him do the song in his Christmas show and it was pretty funny.
bachy
I’m with txlthrboy on this one. The video felt like a 3:27 long, musical sneer at Christmas, gay men, cruising, sex and just about anything related to the above list. All negative vibes. Off-putting.
dbmcvey
Who says that wasn’t the point bachy?
barryaksarben
I love it . it is such a joke win Christmas songs and he is right we will hear it every year from now on
dbmcvey
I like the way Megan Rapinoe triggers conservative snowflakes.
barryaksarben
every single time they can not handle a strong lesbian. It will always and I mean ALWAYS bring out the trolls they cant resist. then when they come for her they try the anti trans bullshit trying to pull us all apart because we love each other and dont have to force people to be who they aren’t

@bachy
And the thousands and thousands of dollars spent on plastic surgeons. Those hair plugs on President Biden (among other things) aren’t cheap.
dbmcvey
Biden has committed his life to helping other people. Including his son. Trump abandons his children when it helps him.
