Also having the US Treasury freeze all Afghan assets at the same time saying they would pay for a safe Evac has to be the dumbest move ever made by anyone ever.

Rumor is the State Dept is literally paying them cash money for the deal, not only is that epically stupid but 100% illegal under intentional law. Financing Terrorist organizations IS still a big deal.

Pallets of cash, paid to the largest nation supporting terrorism globally.

They can split hairs on that one, technically Iran was paid with their own money. (return of frozen assets) This time there is no such loop hole.

Biden gave his speech, attacks Governors for dropping mask mandates, then runs away when no one gives an F about that anymore.

Still, Obama skirted international and US law by having the money he paid to Iran converted to euros, Swiss francs and other foreign currency.  The sanctions at that time prohibited paying Iran US dollars for any reason.

I guess if you convert US dollars to other currencies, it's not the same as paying them US dollars -- even though US dollars were converted.   :crazy:  Money laundering is often done this way.

No matter how you slice it, paying Iran was giving resources to a terrorist nation that is still developing a nuclear capability.  Can't compartmentalize one act from the rest of what's happening.

I agree 100% but Obamas legacy was always finding a loop hole to circumvent the law and the constitution knowing liberal judges would turn a blind eye.

Also it was announced yesterday that Iran now has stage 2 refining going on and are 60% of the way to weapons grade material.

If Iran, Hamas and the other terror organizations Iran supports start using nukes on their enemies, it's okay with the Left as long as it can somehow be blamed on Trump.

All Republicans should be putting forth articles of Impeachment, if for no other reason than to force Dems to try and defend why they wont do it.

Reports are WH itinerary is listing  Biden as planning to back to Delaware tomorrow and take a long weekend there.

Sure sounds like they are about the 25A his senile ass. Harris is going to crumble in less time than Joe.

Enjoy the next 3 yrs under President Pelosi.


Rigged elections have Consequences.

Upside is the mean tweets from Trump are over.
