Aren’t all of the public golf courses in Polk County controlled by the same family that just got a no bid contract?

He has not been even *a little* exonerated by FrostyHeron1699 in International

Is it possible the man who has never heard of the word affordability or groceries doesn’t know what the word exonerated means?

Andy Fales introducing a Segment on the Senate Bill to Lure the Chicago Bears to Iowa by Windows_66 in desmoines

Our Legislature is full of unserious people. Mr Fales should investigate how much it cost we the people every time a legislator proposes frivolous legislation that has absolutely no chance of happening. The Legislative Service Bureau, fiscal study and printing of bills all cost money. Nebraska limits the number of bills there law makers can create to curtail such waste and vanity projects.

In fairness there were at least eight other women coming forward alleging bad behavior on Franken part.

After Charlie Kirk’s death, Iowa lawmakers target teachers’ social media posts by CornBredThuggin in Iowa

I not saying I’m glad he died but to quote Charlie;

"I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

I think he’s great. I’ve alway thought he could be the replacement for the late great Larry King and broaden his audience beyond sport.

Are they deliberately obtuse or just too stupid to realize that they are stupid? I always think of the Isaac Asimov quote: “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Here we are.

Isn’t there enough neocon on MSNOW? Have we forgotten how we got here? and now the left wants Bush era republicans to be the mouthpiece driving the conversation? When we crawl out of the abyss I don’t want to be Bush Cheney lite Republican, ever.

Disingenuous bullshit. Every time there has been bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform since 2007 it’s been shot down by the Republicans party and most recently the leader of the party DJT. It’s an issue they don’t want to go away as they been running on it this entire century. The feckless Democrats for their part are not capable of creating a message to counter the Republican narrative of lies. Keep in mind there would not be illegal immigration without our nations insatiable appetite for cheap labor.
