Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) reacts to Newsom calling Israel an 'apartheid' state: "These comments are not only wrong, but they are dangerous and will feed more antisemitism in our country. Is it really worth throwing Jews under the bus to advance your political ambitions?"

miami international is hands down the worst airport on earth. the design, the operations, crowd management, security, it never ends. pubes all over the bathrooms. absolute shit hole. i’d like to hear arguments on any domestic hub that is worse.
