It occurred to me on my afternoon run that the amount of outrage Democrats expressed over Donald Trump appointing an accomplished black neurosurgeon to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development was exactly equal to the amount of outrage conservatives expressed when Barack Obama gave $10 Billion to the terrorist state of Iran.
Interesting, that.
Firing duds or bad ammunition is a problem for both sides of the coin & people hate to be corrected. I corrected someone who’d said that the Iranian elite forces were operating with impunity on the Mexican border, though that’s an old story that’s been debunked as well as being irrational in a failed state run by drug cartels that don’t like competition. hate Muslims more than the Greeks & who definitely don’t need money or compensation. I was accused of being a “foreign agent” just for being helpful.
Would it have been better for Iran to try to reclaim the debt the U.S. owed them with President Trump in the White House. The man has already taken steps to ban immigration from that country. Not exactly a very diplomatic situation.
Excuse me, #2. The US wasn’t indebted to Iran. The money sent Iran was essentially rightfully Frozen Assets of Iran, that shouldn’t have been released to Iran, especially in cash. Iran is & was an avowed enemy of the US. Get your facts straight. Since the Shah there’s been no diplomacy with Iran for very good reasons. They’re not diplomatic & they’re an oppressive theocracy that kill people like you in a heartbeat. As far as the muslim ban is concerned, it’s just commonsense to restrict visas from countries saturated with muslim freaks. Even the Saudis agree. Get your facts straight, if that’s at all possible. People that rely on diplomacy at all costs are fools. History demonstrates this quite clearly.
Lol.
Obama did us a favour. One less matter Iran has over us. And with Trump now in The White House (hence why I brought up the immigration policy to illustrate thus), it was a smart move on Obama’s part.
But feel free to continue to not give him credit for anything.
Actually, no. Wrong again, #4. Obama did no one favors except our enemy Iran. Obama is currently being investigated for this going around Congress to pay Iran. It’s serious & a matter of law. Not give him credit for anything? There are few & far between things, that he’s done that deserve credit from either the Right or from the perspective of strength & commonsense. Don’t insult me by implying I’m not giving credit where it is due. He was a terrible president. Weak foreign policy, flimsy legacies & the Democrats saw their power reduced down to nearly nothing within 8 years. I don’t know or care why you brought up the intent to restrict specific muslims from coming in. You just don’t make sense & since it’s obviously a waste of time there will be no further interaction. You think you’re pushing my buttons. You’re not. You take advantage of the good will of others by juvenile attempts at goading & division. A mark of pettiness & ignorance. I know your kind very well. One word gave you away, shallow poseur.
Yeah you’re right. Obama is a Muslim. He wants to see militant terrorists destroy America. And we also never supplied arms to Iran to begin with.
I should really mind what I express a lot more in a room full of rational, unbiased adults.
Obama did do us a favor. His legacy including his corrupt, inane deal with Iran are what gave us President Trump! So yeah, thanks, Obama!
So says the irrational, biased Aussie in a room full of Americans.
