Why was it bad for Obama to release much less than this to assure the earlier joint agreement? We heard a lot about how bad that was. Pallets of cash they said, real bad.
Because that was done by Obama.

#32It's surprising how this administration consistently keeps rolling 1s on a D20.
Do they? Then where are the consequences?

#33Destroy and rebuild, that's the whole point of war.

The lack of consequence and massive personal gains suggest the White House are hitting nat 20s.
The taxpayer and future generations are footing the bill. Trump and friends are rich forever.

#36USA has a weird concept about the future as it were something already known, so they may declare now what will happen, even if the actual future depends on other agents.
From TFA:
> U.S. officials have said Iran agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz permanently without tolls, while Tehran said the agreement is to allow free passage for the next 60 days during another period of negotiations led by Vance.
> When asked about the confusion during a Monday appearance on CNBC, Vance said “Well, our expectation is that the strait is gonna be opened in a toll-free way for the long term, and that’s the sort of thing that we’re gonna figure out in these technical negotiations.”

#37Surely such a deal would have to be approved by Congress, right? Would they really have the votes?
What is congress going to do? Say “never negotiate with the US”? It’s not like congress can very feasibly reject this deal in the end, Iran would just extort the gulf countries and it’d be even harder to sell an intervention.
> Say “never negotiate with the US”?
The way Tom Cotton did to Iran over Obama? And then Trump did when he tore up the JCPOA?
America has straight up broken treaties before. Most countries have. You negotiate with who you have at the table in geopolitics. Diplomats who refuse to negotiate with someone have short, useless careers.

#38Earlier quoted context omitted.
Because Democrats are held to different standards. I mean just look at the last year.
And they also have no teeth, even now. They still play this "we must reach across the aisle" stuff. And the worlds shortest memories. They literally re-hashed a conspiracy from 2008 at the fight.... Democrats can't even remember a Republican scandal from 2 weeks ago
If they have to attack Obama by rehashing "Michelle is a man", then Obama must be an angel.

#39For the 3567th time, I'll believe it when I see the fuel prices drop. Anything else is just the Yellow Dog and Jeffrey Dahmer Vance market manipulation talks.
