I absolutely concur. No term limits, but age limits for sure. I would suggest no older than 74. Your thoughts??

You either do not consume MSNOW material or of incapable of intellectual ingestion. There is NO room for equivocation. Trump does not have the right, authority, or evidence to ban news outlets from covering his activities while working in OUR White House!! Stop this rediculous prattle. Grow up!

You’re torn? You equivocate over a first amendment right? You deem access to OUR office debatable? Whether the performance is lacking or deficient is irrelevant. The President, whether acknowledging it or not, works for “We The People”. He does not decide who covers or reports on his actions.

I agree trans women are not assaulting or ogling or otherwise bothering other women in bathrooms. The only culprits are supposed straight Christian women looking to regulate someone else’s behavior and infringe upon their right to privacy. Whatever happened to “Mind your own business!!” Good lord!

What I have never understood about this debate is the belief some men are transitioning in order to compete against women. What person would go through the surgeries and challenges, both physical and mental to earn a swimming medal?? The people who choose transition do so to live authentically!!!

I am sorry. The Israeli people, after witnessing the disregard he exhibits for human life, still support him by 47%. I believe they, like many of us, have lost their way and need to be called out regarding the behavior their government is exhibiting. It is wrong, it is immoral and it is dangerous.

I would argue they are on the cusp of a resurgence, with younger, more progressive and feistier candidates. The older regime won some big, important battles in the past. They accomplished many wonderful things. But they forgot how to fight to keep those things and afford new ones. Time for new blood

Johnathan Chait is a writer of past glory, reckoning Israeli battles as David/Goliath scenarios. Those days are gone, as is the moral fiber of the Israeli and American governments. Not ever denunciation of barbaric - yes, barbaric - actions by said governments is antisemitism or anti American!!

I am so happy for your marriage and for being together for so many years. My husband and I have been together for 27 years now. When in public we often hold hands. Morning defiance, but to show younger gay males that love is possible. Being visible matters, wish I saw it more in my youth! Congrats!

Pretending he is not a legitimate cog in the administrations designs is not helpful. Meeting someone does not condone their actions or intentions. It is an act of pursuing knowledge in the pursuit of YOUR goals and not necessarily a diminishment of your ideals and commitments.

I understand your point. Kushner should not be involved in any aspects of the Government, but the fact remains he is involved and highly resourced. Ignoring reality doesn’t change it, it perpetuates the problem. Meeting with him does carry risks, I believe less than not meeting with him.

If you believe he is not directly tied into the inner workings of your government, I hope you are not part of the stratagem to defeat them.

“Useful treasures” can be insights about the depravity and assets assembled to inflict such. I do not assigned motives to my opponents, but understanding them allows for greater chance of defeating them in the arena. You do not need to be a pompous ass in your response by the way.

I am not an enthusiast supporter of Rep. Jeffries, however, I do not condemn people for talking to their opponents. Possible treasures of information can be garnered, strategies developed and possible bipartisan pathways exposed. Rarely is every single thing proposed by your opponent abhorrent.

I can understand the nostalgia, but these erections did not one damn thing to help or solve the problems of the common man. They were testaments to power meant only to awe and inspire those less fortunate to think of their leaders as Noble and Just. In most cases they were neither.

What these grizzled and intrepid reporters fail to understand is the desire for the DSA to change certain aspects of the constitution, not defy it or dismantle it. The constitution provides an avenue for such update and revision. A legally mechanism called the Constitutional Convention exists.

I know it’s difficult to name the biggest ass in the Senate right now, but Tom Cotton is running a great campaign. He almost always doesn’t know what he is talking about, doesn’t listen or care to understand and frequently acts offended or stricken when you point out he’s an ass. Loser.

That is an option, but removes a more direct approach of primary voting and reinforces a system of “precinct bosses”. I’d prefer to trust voters rather than ‘turf’ managers. Most minorities did not fair well under that feudal system.

What a poor excuse for a human being. Threatening to annihilate a population because Israel said the Iranians would like to assassinate him AFTER he did that exactly to the Iranians political AND religious leader. Most men would accept the possibility of retaliation as part of the job. What a loser

How does this idiot, who was still President at the time, think Biden, a civilian, could order the FBI to do anything. My lord we live in the most bizarre time - assertions reported as fact, fact ignored because a bellicose and demented President makes an utterance.

This author is unsurprisingly wrong. Mamdani’s job-approval ratings have steadily climbed since January, up to 58% among city residents while only 26% disapproved of his performance, according to a June Siena College.

Tom, don’t write off Platner. He might not be an ideal candidate, but Collins has overstayed her ‘concerned’ welcome. Mainers are agitated and Platner is speaking their language.

I am not at all sure of what you mean unless you are saying you could not vote in the Democratic primary. If that is the case, it happens throughout America on both sides of the equation. BTW - Simply because you do not like a response does not imply it is wrong.

Mr Rieckhoff, the people of NY 10 have spoken. Not voting is just as valid a choice as voting. Whether indifference, malaise or other justification, the people in your district either chose to vote or chose to relinquish that right. The people did indeed speak with their action/inaction.

I disagree as long as the support is done within the confines of the democratic process. Advocating for your preferred candidate is a time honored tradition, the fact of his popularity is irrelevant. The OLD regime has been supporting their candidates for years. Most seats are secure D’s

I have had the wonderful experience of visiting Japan. The meals you can get in any major station are beautifully prepared, exquisite to behold and delicious. The dehydrated mess served on Amtrak is an insult to food everywhere. Why, oh why, can’t we do better.

Ya know, sometimes family understands better than we do what we need. It usually isn’t showy or announced. Oftentimes it comes in the form of a small smile, a nod, or even a wink. Just letting you know, they know and think it’s a very good thing. May you be happy and spread it amongst the world.

I have been very happy together with my husband for 27 years. Some of the best times have been either my family. When I was a boy I never dreamed of the possibility. They have surpassed my wishes for them. In large part because my husband is such a fantastic, lovable person. I am a lucky man.

Walk along the Riverwalk, have a few cocktails and something light eat. Take a cruise through the river after dark. It’s quite lovely and should be lively as well. Lots of places to stop and hydrate yourself. Some hood ice cream shops also.

Even more kudos to your Dad. He overcame some very difficult training as a child. He must have been quite a guy. I’m happy for both him and you. Your Grandfather lived in a different time and couldn’t or wouldn’t change. Try to forgive him., as he probably needs the help.

He may have been tough, but it looks like he raised a very intelligent and compassionate son. My Dad was tough, made mistakes and was difficult to live with; but he did the best he could and I was able to keep the good and discard the bad. Looks like you were also. My compliments.

You are correct. Quite an attractive young man. An alluring smile with added points for a devilish vibe. Probably quite the catch!!

I understand this delights many, but I don’t care if he can lift weights. I care that he murders people on the high seas without warrant or proof, he removes eligible people of color and sex from legitimate promotion, he is incompetent and a repulsive human being. Focus on the important things.

This is so very easy to proclaim when one does not have the entire societal experience embedded within your soul and have only managed to survive because of your ability to hide, distract and lie to yourself and others. While I think Ms. Nicks is a treasure, her proclamation is shallow.

IMO, the better way to address this topic would be to ask the questioner if they believe trans people are human. If they acknowledge such, then you simply say they then deserve to be treated as equal. If they don’t agree, you simply say I fundamentally disagree with you.

If the owners have no limit on the funds they can receive, why should the player be restricted. If you want to pay less for talent, do so; but realize the quality of your team may be affected. The owners are quick to cite players income but very slow to disclose their own net worth.

I understand people don’t like Mike Johnson. Neither do I. I find him reprehensible. Please stop alluding to his behavior as being generated by some homosexual impulse. It is an incorrect and pejorative. His actions have to do with a lack of character and morals. Not anything to do with being gay.

I ask you to be gentle. People carry demons with them which are not apparent to onlookers. It could be his past, his own bad actions or mental instability, but it usually out of the persons control. Be grateful you don’t have the same burden, forgive him and provide him space.

You are wasting two full time jobs, or at least 80 hours a week with a person working more than sixty hours a week. It’s false equivalency.

Part of the problem is the population in the lower economic sphere are often working two or more jobs and don’t have the time or energy to shop, prepare and cook a meal at least two times a day. When balancing two or more jobs and a family, sometimes you don’t have the time or energy to do anything!
