The funny thing that I notice is that the people who still fly the flags, wear the hat, sport the bumper sticker...don't even have their own lives in order but want to think they should be running the show for everyone else.

Sorry, but if you can't succeed past that rusted out beater parked in front of that house that should be condemned wearing stained wife beaters while you sit on your s*&^ covered porch chain smoking the cheapest cigarettes you can buy...you have no business telling everyone else how things should be run.

Witkoff and Kushner were more interested in trying to profit off the talks in financial markets than reaching a lasting agreement.

No s*&^. They're not doing it without being told to, however, as there's no other reason to appoint these two stooges other than to position Trump and insiders to profit off of the outcome.

Everything, literally everything, under this administration is a grift. Why else would they so shamelessly discuss $300 billion in compensation to Iran? These stooges will position themselves to profit off the reconstruction.

BTW yes, Schumer should stay out.

Not because of your AIPAC obsession but because he's long past his prime and is clearly in a position to benefit America with one single act - retirement.

He's just a spent old turd. Nothing more, nothing less.

Mainers, and Americans in general, are sick to death of AIPAC, foreign interference in US electios, and Israel's American taxpayer-funded genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

You're as bad as the Trumpers.

All of you, progressives and Trumpers alike, can f*&^ off and STFU. Things would improve dramatically and, probably, immediately if that came true.

That same link is still insecure. Why are you still posting it?

Because he's a dumbf*&^ boomer who gets his views from social media memes?

AKA he's stupid.

C'mon. Are we really shocked that this corrupt administration is pay for play at any and all level?

These people don't support Trump or give a s*&^ what his policies are. They care that while he's standing in front of cameras being a bloated piece of worthless s*&^ they're making and taking every dime they can in the background.

Nah. While 9/11 response and GWoT certainly produced serious erosion of civil liberties and constitutional controls, it took unAmerican s*&^bags like MAGA to vote for someone like Trump to make it happen.

Don't degrade their "accomplishment" by acting as if they're a natural consequence or step in our political evolution.

Sure...my buy is a complete piece of s*&^. But he's MY GUY and I can find one person who is a DuMbOcRaT so I'm comfortable setting all morals and scruples aside to support that piece of s*&^.

Thanks to the status quo dinosaurs inhabiting the US Senate, Dummkopf Trumpf survived his two impeachment trials.

Oh FFS. You're nothing but stupid buzzwords and simplistic bulls*&^.

Trump survived his impeachments because of REPUBLICANS. Period. The end. That's it.

Paywalled. Since when do you have to subscribe to Reuters?

Vaccine skeptics shaping policy.

Oh FFS. They're not "skeptics." They're grifting pieces of ignorant s*&^.

WTF does that have to do with AIPAC?

Give it a rest. For f*&^'s sake it's annoying as f*&^.

Just stop or, better yet, go find another site where one trick ponies are welcome.

This guy is such a pathetic caricature.

After seeing him do his dumbbell "lifts" with the sailors during PT, you know this weasel piece of s*^% is an overcompensating d*^%bag.

no intelligent person would choose the south.

You're ignoring any and all nuance. Lots of intelligent people choose the south in places like Atlanta, Houston, Dallas ect...which are blue dots in a sea of deep red. It's the sea of deep red areas that drive their inclusion on lists like this.

I did my grad work in Houston and post-doc in St Louis (not quite the south, and I'm also an idiot) and both places were stuffed to the gills with intelligent folks from all over the world.

Quality of life is just better in the south. That's why people are moving here.

Demonstrably false, dumbf*&^.

F*&^ off, idiot. The entire state is being run into the ground by a long entrenched GOP majority that has a track record of ignoring or overturning the will of the electorate.

Now they're following TN and TX down the path of ens*&^ification with their scheme to drop income taxes while massively increasing sales taxes, largely through the expansion of services it will be applied to.

My daughter was in St. Louis for 3 years of law school. That place scared me the whole time.

There are certain areas of the city that are just no go zones. Used to be north city and neighborhoods of south city, especially along the river, but they've expanded to the point that downtown is hollowed out and businesses are leaving because it's a mess. When I first moved there, if you lived in a safe square of the checkerboard of neighborhoods you were ok, but not anymore. Pass through crime has become a big issue. Property crime in the county (STL suburbs) went up because it started to become common place for "rambunctious youth" to steal a car in their neighborhood, drive around the suburbs randomly breaking in to cars and garages to steal whatever they could before driving back, torching the car and disappearing.

Problem is that even when caught now, they're taken to "reunion centers" and turned over to parents who couldn't give two s*&^s and don't do a thing to prevent it from happening again. Absent a serious crime like murder or assault with a deadly weapon, they're simply let go to re-offend again in the near future.

She was smart in only staying 3 years.

This doesn't seem like the usual stupid tourist fare, though. It seems that particular bull was just hangry or something and went after the guy unprovoked and he couldn't, unfortunately, maneuver among the trees fast enough.

I hope our Republic survives enough that the agents involved in these shootings are dragged from their hiding places, publicly identified, tried, convicted and thrown in the deepest, darkest hole in the nastiest prison we have.

Repubs proving yet again that they're absolute s*&^ at running an economy.

#30 it wasn't a real comment. I thought the car antenna would have given that away.

Well, I for one am shocked that they're all red state s*&^holes! I never would have guessed!

What's funny is the states Missouri is currently trying to emulate (Texas and Tennessee) are number 2 and number 1 for s*&^tiest places to live in the country.

So glad I'm not longer living in that festering ----- of America.

xpressed concern that private investment in youth sports could lead to a focus on investor return rather than youth opportunity.

Ummmmm they've turned literally everything into investor return over any true purpose or rationale.

Shareholder value is the be all end all now in America. That's what's driving 90% of the --------------- we're suffering through.

I didn't say any of that.

No s*^%, idiot, I said it.

I said the Democratic Establishment hates Progressives,read Carville.

I know what you said, I read and responded to that drivel.

He foams at the mouth just like YOU, Guy.

Stating a reality that's obvious to anyone with more than three functioning neurons isn't foaming at the mouth, "guy."

KAMALA never Won a single Primary.

Then she went on to Lose Decisively.

Your way isn't Working Fella.

Don't blame Progressives for Spurning your Candidates, actually hold Primaries and Abide by the Results.

Hey dips^%#, I was vocally against Harris as a candidate here. It's not "my way," idiot.

God speed Dr Grant.
