Dan Klieban is back in it to win it!!! idk why Democrats in Maine didn't like this guy.
I've been overwhelmed by the countless calls from Mainers encouraging me to consider this race. I love Maine and everything it has given me. It's where my wife of 22 years and I have raised our teenage twins. And after talking with them, I'm in.

The aide for the fires was denied, was that the fires didn't meet the min threshold.
Funny how you don't do that to your political leaders no matter how many kids they rape.

Funny how you don't understand what is happening, and think it has anything to do with anyones behavior.
Rather, it's the hard left that is taking advantage of the Democratic Party's current weakened state to advance all-out factional warfare as their top priority, above fighting Trump. Every dollar spent and every volunteer hour consumed in the battle to replace Adriano Espaillat with Darializa Avila Chevalier is money and time not spent trying to defeat Republicans in G.O.P.-held seats in the suburbs.
Left-factionalists have made a clear choice: Winning primaries in safe blue states is an incredibly high priority for them, worthy of diverting resources away from defending frontline seats or trying to beat G.O.P. incumbents.

Iran didn't draw first blood. Trump did and he is absolutely in the wrong regarding this,

What do you mean "first blood"? Iran killed Marines in Lebanon, who were trying to keep the peace, that first blood?
The US lifted sanctions on Iranian oil exports last month after signing the MOU, but re-imposed them on Tuesday after the attack on vessels in the strait of Hormuz.
Qatar has been acting as a mediator in the talks between Washington and Tehran, but its foreign ministry spokesperson, Majed al-Ansari, called it a "serious and explicit violation" of international law and said Qatar would hold Iran fully responsible for the act of aggression.
Iran said on Tuesday that Washington's efforts to open up new routes through the strait constituted a breach of the memorandum of understanding the two parties had signed. Tehran claims the memorandum is specifically worded to leave it, in consultation with Oman, to manage the reopening of the strait with the aim of commercial traffic returning to prewar levels within 30 days.
Experts have said that the vague wording of the MOU has left both sides interpreting the agreement in different ways, with the repeated misunderstandings a continuing threat the ceasefire.

Seems, like most wars, some form of miscommunication. Instead of communicating to the US they are violating the MOU, Iran hit three commercial vessels.....
Dems take out the trash when they find it.
BS... they aren't taking out the trash, they had the dirt and then used it when it was needed to cut the DSA.
Maine is going to let 600 Democrat insiders choose the new candidate, replacing the person 156,000 Democrat voters voted for.
Its been 18 years since the Democrat party has had a legitimate primary.
I am seriously beginning to think Democrat Elites are a serious threat to Democracy.
