Eric Trumpf to Build Tallest Building in Tblisi, Georgia

"How come the rumor of the Biden family selling influence bothered republicans more than the Trump family openly and proudly selling influence?"

Because "purists" like you are more concerned with damning "impure" Democrats for being, well, "impure," in your warped view of the political reality that is America in 2026, instead of focusing all your energy in defeating Republicans.

Trump's Iranian Nightmare

#5 The actual title of Scott Anderson's piece is...

Operation Epic Fury, Meet Operation Colossal Blunder

Nothing to do with AIPAC.

Nothing whatsoever.

Does your obvious hatred of Jews make you believe anyone would believe your obvious lie, Caius Marcius Coriolanus?

Seriously?

Are you proposing that Paul McCartney has "zero right to exist"?

SCOTUS Lets Abortion Pill Mail Delivery Continue

The plot thickens ...

** BREAKING: SCOTUS lets abortion pill mail delivery continue **

May 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the abortion pill to be prescribed through telemedicine and dispensed by mail, restoring for now a 2023 federal rule challenged by Republican-governed Louisiana that had made access to the medication easier.

The justices granted requests by two manufacturers of the abortion pill, called mifepristone, to lift a lower court's block on the rule that was issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration during Democratic former President Joe Biden's administration, while the legal challenge plays out.

Obama Defends His 2015 Iran Deal, B-Slaps Trump

#22 Bernie Sanders is 84 years of age and has been in Congress for 35 years.

Oh, do tell us, Caius Marcius Coriolanus...

Does that make Bernie Sanders one of "the same dinosaurs" who flushed our country down the drain, as "Willie" says?

Please do elaborate.

Is journalism and its buddy, Truth, now dead? Maybe not. Let's take a look.

There Are Green Shoots in the Media World

The media landscape is very grim. Thomas Jefferson once famously said he would prefer newspapers without a government over a government without newspapers. A modern version of that would replace "newspapers" with "media outlets," since recycling trees isn't really the essence of journalism in the 21st century. It is about investigative journalists looking for and publicizing things the government would rather not publicize. They are not going the way of the dodo, but times are tough and courage is scare in legacy media outlets.

There is a lot of bad news on the news front, what with mergers, retrenchments, and billionaires buying and silencing publications. As more and more legacy media companies are bought by billionaires or silenced by their owners, is there any hope for investigative reporting?

Trump's "deal" won't be anywhere near as good as the deal he tore up

Tore up?

Not sure what you're defending .... because the deal had already sunset, (October 2025)

100% oops, onepigheadedsmoothbrainaut:

Trump withdrew the United States from the agreement in 2018 and has maintained that this action was necessary to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

Sucks to be as stupid as you, onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut.
