The Former Vice President

Featuring Former Vice President, Mike Pence

It was August of 2023, and I was at the Iowa State Fair where presidential hopefuls are expected, a tradition in one of the first states to hold caucuses in 2024. I was enjoying myself on one of display tractors when found myself in a press opt with Former U.S. Vice President and current presidential candidate Mike Pence. He jumps on the tractor I was on and immediately grabbed the gearshift and looked me and ask, “Want me to work that for ya?”

I found myself flustered looking into his entrancing eyes, and admiring his 5’10”, 63-year-old figure. From his silver hair, surprisingly thick body, and clothing, which I found oddly appealing. He was friendly, giving me a hearty slap on the chest and smiling for the cameras.

In that brief encounter, I suspected this married politician might be interested, but I resolve to not convey any gay vibe to encourage him. The tension I was feeling was distracting, but not necessarily unwelcome.

And then it was over as he continued to the next photo opt. I thought nothing else about the encounter and admired him from afar as I enjoy my time at the fair.

Later that afternoon, needing to take a piss, I headed over to nearest, not crowd restroom. It was empty as I unzipped and started peeing into one of the twelve or so urinals that tightly lined the wall.

To my surprise, Mr. Pence entered and unexpectedly moved in front of the urinal right next to me.

I cautiously glanced over. Our eyes met, and I felt a shudder of electricity as Mr. Pence unzipped, revealing his ample beautiful cock. It was about 6 1/2 inches, the perfect size to get in my mouth.

Of was getting hard as I finished peeing, but the last I wanted to do was get involved a scandal with the married, former vice president who's currently running for president. But I couldn’t control myself as tried to conceal my hard-on by pressing into the urinal, only that only encouraged Mr. Pence.

His cock was now rock hard and as though the powerful old man could read my mind, he slowly reached out his hand and wrapped his fingers around my dick.

My head was swimming from the rush of sexual excitement pulsing through my body as I reciprocated by reaching over and closing my fingers around the old man's swollen dick.

Just then, there was a knock at the restroom door.

"Sir, you should wrap things up." A voice said who I presumed was one of his security detail.

“Why don't we finish this someplace… more private." Mr. Pence whispered before kissing me gently on the lips.

Next thing I knew, his security whisked us away to a hotel room and found ourselves naked, making out on the bed. My cock was rock hard, pressing against his naked belly with his pressing back. My dick was in control as all my concerns were miles away.

Breaking our embrace, Mike moved down between my legs, admired my cock for a moment before slipping his lips over my manhood and going to work.

This married Republican was a ferocious cocksucker. He couldn’t get enough of sucking my cock, and from the way he was doing it, he had done it before. Holding my cock at the base, he bobbed on the head for minute before releasing it from his mouth with a gasp and jerked me off so he could catch his breathe.

Again, Mike admired my cock, still jacking me off, before slapping it on his tongue a few times before continuing his assault on my cock.

Faster and faster, he worked on my cock until it slipped out his mouth and he jacked it for all its worth. And with a loud groan, I fired my load on to his waiting face as he furiously jerked me off. Licking his lips, Mike placed his mouth back over my cock, sucking the last few drops out.

We laid there for a while, recovering before Mike noticed I was still erect. He smiled as I rolled on top of him. And like a good bottom, he immediately spread his legs, lifting them in the air. I knew from the look on his face that he wanted it. And wanted me to fuck his ass the way he would have fucked his wife, missionary style. And I get to run my hands all over that wonderful chest while my cock repeatedly drilled his ass. It was a freaking rush!

Mike put his arms around his knees, spreading his legs wide apart, giving me full access to his butt. So, I spit on the head of my dick, applying it to my aching cock before pressing the swollen red head against his old tight asshole. Mike moaned until it popped into his asshole with ease.

I knew right then; it wasn’t just sucking cocks Mike was doing.

I worked all 8 inches of me in as I admired the silver-haired gentleman beneath me. Looking into his beautiful blue eyes I could see the lust that he shared for me.

He reached up, pulled my face hard against his as I sent my tongue down his throat. Mike moaned deep in his throat as I rammed my dick up to my balls inside of him, fucking the old man hard as he clung to me like a child.

"Oh, fuck." Mike moan as our lips finally separated.

The passion we exchanged shocked me and sent me into a sex craze as I drove my fat cock even deeper into him. I felt a shudder run through his burly body as I pound my stiff dick harder and harder. I could hear my balls slapping against his ass with every thrust of my hips as I planted kisses on his cheeks, forehead, and all over his face as I pounded away.

"Oh, fuck." Mike moan again in a choking, husky voice.

Then I was deep kissing him again as he moaned painfully while I pounded into him. By now, his asshole had loosened up with each thrust of my cock as Mike grabbed a hold of my shoulders. I was dripping with sweat, and as the orgasm started to flood through me, my back arched, and I shot off deep inside of him.

Wanting to taste his cum, I jerked my dick out of the old man's asshole and got back down between his legs and started sucking on the engorged purple head of his cock for all it was worth. He moaned and bucked beneath me as I skillfully brought him closer and closer to a climax.  

"Oh yes son." Mike moaned as he rubbed my shoulder with his left hand and forced my head further down his cock with his right.

Suddenly he was pumping his cock even further down my throat when I felt him tensing up, firing his load.

"Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck yeah." He moans, holding me down on his cock. We lay there breathing hard and totally spent but satisfied.

Powerful Man

Tim Walz: Gwen and I have two beautiful children because of reproductive health care like IVF," after a ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court determined that embryos created through IVF should be considered children, which potentially subjects them to laws governing the wrongful death of a minor.

"This issue is deeply personal to our family and so many others. Don't let these guys get away with this by telling you they support IVF when their handpicked judges oppose it."

The attacks on reproductive rights are putting all fertility treatments at risk.

Never underestimate the goodness of people

We were blessed to be at our son, Michael's bachelor's degree graduation, but it was a challenge to get there. Never underestimate the goodness of people who go above and beyond to help you out. This post focuses on remembering to be one of those people.

The world is very interesting right now. I hear more negative than positive it seems in so many corners of our society. People are constantly trying to find ways to be insulted. That is not to say that there are not legitimate claims, but I think that more focus on taking care of one another rather than ourselves is the key.  That became glaringly true for my family and I recently. We had the…

In his latest verbal slipup, the president said he was "proud" to be the "first black woman to serve with a black president."

The 81-year-old president mixed up his words during an interview with Philadelphia's Wurd radio station when referring to his vice president, Kamala Harris, and former President Barack Obama.

"By the way, I'm proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, first black woman, to serve with a black president," he said.[...]

The Biden camp has offered multiple explanations for the president's slurred words, nonsensical phrases, and vacant stares, including jet lag, a cold, and incompetent aides.[...]

Axios, citing people close to the president, said Biden worked best between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and struggled to function outside that window.[...]

Biden told governors he needed to get more sleep and stop holding events after 8 p.m., CNN and The New York Times reported.

tokyo revengers ⇢ YOU’RE TOO DRUNK TO RECOGNIZE YOUR BOYFRIEND

ft. manjiro “mikey” sano, ken “draken” ryuguji, keisuke baji, takashi mitsuya, rindou haitani, ran haitani & shuji hanma

warnings: alcohol and a very hammered reader. the boys are more responsible than you <3

this is one of the rare occurrences wherein MIKEY actually shares his food. when you’ve finally given up on fighting him for the last bottle of alcohol, you start whining about your sudden hunger so he slides his plate of nachos over to you. he watches you eye it for a second before you drag your gaze up to him. “i have a boyfriend you know?” you tell him, your attempt to be menacing coming out pathetically as the attitude dripping from your tone is dampened by your slurred speech. mikey doesn’t need the club to be well lit. the strobe lights already illuminate your face enough for him to get a clear view of your glassy eyes and flushed cheeks. “i know,” he confirms with a tinge of exasperation, “because it’s me. mikey. your boyfriend.” he emphasizes his last words, his last effort to knock some sense into you but you only let out a cackle which catches him off guard. “nice try but mikey never shares his food.”

“that’s enough.” DRAKEN snatches the last of your many drinks for the night before you can gulp it down. being the perceptive boyfriend he is, he can already hear the complaint that’s about to slip from your tongue so he’s quick to pull you by the wrist, up from your seat and out the door. “where are you taking me?” you ask as clearly as your drunken state can let you—not so much but enough for your boyfriend to understand. “home.” at his curt reply, you yank your hand from his grip with a strength that startles even toman’s former vice president. “what the hell are you doing?” draken hisses lest you make a scene in public. “i’m calling my boyfriend,” you warn him, “bet he can kick your ass.” “yeah? i’d like to see him try.” he dismisses your empty threat, reaching for you once more to guide you to the exit but upon hearing a few whispers from prying strangers who are clearly getting the wrong idea, he stops in his tracks and turns to no one in particular, no longer caring about whatever commotion he may cause as his voice booms over the loud music: “i’m the boyfriend!”

“let me go!” you relentlessly thrash around, yelling out threats of calling your boyfriend, while BAJI—the boyfriend in question—pulls you into an empty alleyway to avoid any possible public humiliation for the both of you. “fuck,” he huffs out a breath, “when did you get this strong?” some time in the night, he’s tuned you out telling him off, on a sole mission to stop you from drinking more than you already have. and he’s relieved he managed to get you out of the bar—that is until he hears a weird noise coming from you. “wh-” baji doesn’t get the chance to utter a single word as you begin to throw up. in a panic, he hastily puts your hair up with his spare tie before rubbing soothing circles on your back. your hair looks real messy, he notes, but that’s the least of his worries. “you feeling better?” he checks on you after a while, only to be met by more retching, making him grumble to himself, “and i get an earful when i drink too much.”

MITSUYA is helping you get on your feet—sweet boyfriend he is—but as soon as you find your footing, you give him a hefty shove. “i have a boyfriend, jackass!” you seethe, too drunk to recognize him, and all he can do is sigh as he regains his balance. “yes. me.” something clicks in your brain at his response and you squint your eyes to get a better look at him. “takashi?” “hi, love.” and just like that, you perk up, your mouth stretching into a wide grin. “taka,” you squeal, excitement coursing through your veins when you recognize your boyfriend, “hiiiii~” he laughs at the shift in your tone and takes the opportunity to slide an arm around your waist once more. “let’s get you home okay?” “mhm.” you wrap your arms around him and he lifts you with ease. mitsuya assumes you’re fast asleep until a few minutes later, you mumble something against his skin, “someone tried to flirt with me but i said no.” a chuckle bubbles past his lips as he adjusts his hold on you. “really?” “mhm,” you nod into his neck as you snuggle closer, “i only love you.” “i love you more.” “love you most,” you reply before soft snores fall from your lips and your breathing evens out.

you’re rambling about RINDOU to rindou himself, going on and on about the reasons that made you fall in love with him. and while you’re occasionally interrupted by your hiccups, he patiently listens to your every word then he hears a “but.” the ways you describe him next are less flattering, less romantic—how he tries so hard to act indifferent to your cooing as if the tips of his ears don’t instantly turn red. or how he has a permanent scowl etched on his face. and other things you already tell him even when you’re sober. “he’s really lucky he doesn’t have any wrinkles yet,” you add with a giggle. “you’re really annoying when you’re drunk, you know that?” rindou deadpans. despite the lack of lighting in the club, he doesn’t miss the shock washing over you, your eyes getting mistier by the second. “what?” your voice comes out shaky and your bottom lip starts to wobble, making rindou release another groan. “for fuck’s sake.”

in spite of your insistence to stay at the club, RAN easily managed to drag you to his car. this isn’t his first rodeo. as an older brother, he has had to deal with rindou when he was blackout drunk. “where are we going?” you mumble as you begin to stir in the passenger seat. “home.” “i wanna see ran.” your boyfriend throws you a quick glance—your eyes remain closed and the rest of your words are incomprehensible—before he focuses back on the road. amused by your drunken state, he plays along. “alright, we’re going to ran.” the stretch of silence that follows is cut short when you speak again, “i’m thirsty.” so ran makes a quick stop at a convenience store, coming back shortly with a bottle in hand. he unscrews the cap before he gives you the drink, “careful.” you take a big gulp, instantly grimacing at the taste and it elicits a snort from your boyfriend. “what is this?” “water.”

“want more,” you slur. across from you, HANMA watches as you clumsily reach for the empty shot glasses on the table, flipping them upside down as if more alcohol will magically appear. he’s not going to lie—he finds it funny. entertaining, even. and if the circumstances were any different, he would’ve even encouraged this behavior. but he’s your boyfriend now and if there’s one thing he truly cares about, it’s you. drunk out of your wits, you don’t notice when hanma slides out of the booth until he’s soon presenting two more glasses to you. even though the contents are the same, he asks you to choose, “which one?” “hmm… that.” before you can get your hands on your drink, hanma intercepts and downs it in one go. you’re about to protest when he throws you over his shoulder and chugs the other drink out of your sight before heading for the exit. “let’s go.”

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #24

June 21-28 2024

The US Surgeon General declared for the first time ever, firearm violence a public health crisis. The nation's top doctor recommended the banning of assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, the introduce universal background checks for purchasing guns, regulate the industry, pass laws that would restrict their use in public spaces and penalize people who fail to safely store their weapons. President Trump dismissed Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy in 2017 in part for his criticism of guns before his time in government, he was renominated for his post by President Biden in 2021. While the Surgeon General's reconstructions aren't binding a similar report on the risks of smoking in 1964 was the start of a national shift toward regulation of tobacco.

Vice-President Harris announced the first grants to be awarded through a ground breaking program to remove barriers to building more housing. Under President Biden more housing units are under construction than at any time in the last 50 years. Vice President Harris was announcing 85 million dollars in grants giving to communities in 21 states through the  Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO) program. The administration plans another 100 million in PRO grants at the end of the summer and has requested 100 million more for next year. The Treasury also announced it'll moved 100 million of left over Covid funds toward housing. All of this is part of plans to build 2 million affordable housing units and invest $258 billion in housing overall.

President Biden pardoned all former US service members convicted under the US Military's ban on gay sex. The pardon is believed to cover 2,000 veterans convicted of "consensual sodomy". Consensual sodomy was banned and a felony offense under the Uniform Code of Justice from 1951 till 2013. The Pardon will wipe clean those felony records and allow veterans to apply to change their discharge status.

The Department of Transportation announced $1.8 Billion in new infrastructure building across all 50 states, 4 territories and Washington DC. The program focuses on smaller, often community-oriented projects that span jurisdictions. This award saw a number of projects focused on climate and energy, like $25 million to help repair damage caused by permafrost melting amid higher temperatures in Alaska, or $23 million to help electrify the Downeast bus fleet in Maine.

The Department of Energy announced $2.7 billion to support domestic sources of nuclear fuel. The Biden administration hopes to build up America's domestic nuclear fuel to allow for greater stability and lower costs. Currently Russia is the world's top exporter of enriched uranium, supplying 24% of US nuclear fuel.

The Department of Interior awarded $127 million to 6 states to help clean up legacy pollution from orphaned oil and gas wells. The funding will help cap 600 wells in Alaska, Arizona, Indiana, New York and Ohio. So far thanks to administration efforts over 7,000 orphaned wells across the country have been capped, reduced approximately 11,530 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions

HUD announced $469 million to help remove dangerous lead from older homes. This program will focus on helping homeowners particularly low income ones remove lead paint and replace lead pipes in homes built before 1978. This represents one of the largest investments by the federal government to help private homeowners deal with a health and safety hazard.

Bonus: President Biden's efforts to forgive more student debt through his administration's SAVE plan hit a snag this week when federal courts in Kansas and Missouri blocked elements the Administration also suffered a set back at the Supreme Court as its efforts to regular smog causing pollution was rejected by the conservative majority in a 5-4 ruling that saw Amy Coney Barrett join the 3 liberals against the conservatives. This week's legal setbacks underline the importance of courts and the ability to nominate judges and Justices over the next 4 years.
