    accuses me of lying

    Then lies...

    Parrots neo-communist propaganda...


    Bottom line is atleast some of the money went to terrorist and saying you can't prove it is just dumb.

    Iran is a state that sponsors terrorism and Democrats added to their budget.

    It's exactly what this is, a football game. Complete with pep rallies and rabid fans.

    Anyone ever had a bad wood sliver? it's in your finger for a week and gets infected before you can get it out, you know that feeling or relief when you finally get it out? The ignore button is giving me that feeling right now.

    For those interested in a balanced truth, please read the original exchange. The point is that Trump is stating that MAJOR terrorist funding went was via that reimbursement (of which Trump alludes to as a payoff). As my link and another posters link points out, it's likely that some bucks filtered down, but it's hard to prove....as opposed to Trump and TGS, who say its a certainty. Then TGS repeats Trumps lie. I wish TGS and other Trumpers would learn to READ CAREFULLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY, as Obama honored a treaty SET IN MOTION BY G.W. BUSH to return frozen assets if Iran met certain UN checked criteria. C'mon TGS, "neo-communist" would have NOTHING to do with Iran which is heavily theocratic. Get it together!

    You denied the facts....that's not a refutation. Look it up. And the chronology of the posts shows you responding to my thread, not vice versa. Get it together, Bobby.

    Sorry, Mr. R.A.--BUT, Trump was totally OWNED by the article in the OP.

    And, I find it (virtually) unfathomable that anyone would disagree that his address contained numerous falsehoods.

    So much fake crap I here it makes me sick!
    Soooo many libs in here were making posts to rip on trump for not acting when they downed our drone and harassed military personnel with the ship incident. The same phonies thay are now ripping on him for taking action.
    I will find EVERY one of those old threads and kick back with popcorn while you choke on your empty words.

    :banana: yes... please do

    If Iran like spends like 5% of their budget on terrorism. Democrats add to that total budget.

    If Democrats liked the people the Iranian terrorist sponsored by Iran attacked, you wouldn't support Democrats.

    What part of my post are you mocking? Make an argument that it was unintelligible or meaningless writing; i.e. nonsense.

    You realize a treaty has to be approved by congress correct? Can you tell us why we used unmarked bills in the middle of the night and even denied it happened at first? I'm serious here, you seem set in your belief and call it a bush treaty which is 100% bs no such treaty has ever been approved therefore did not exist.

    "If" is NOT the beginning of a declarative sentence, TGS....but it fits your suppositions and conjectures perfectly.

    The OP stands valid, and you can't shake it or disprove it...but you do make a funny looking dancing banana.

    So you just randomly choose threads that you don't like because they're bad news for the GOP/conservatives, then you ignore the subject matter just so you can bitch about the "left" in general?

    Makes you look like a bit of a crank, ya know. So I won't waste time and space on you. Buh-bye.

    I would say Democrats defensiveness is very telling.

    1. Democrats give terrorist money

    2. Terrorist use money for terror

    3. Democrats be like... you can't prove they spent the money we gave them on terrorism...

    You can't prove they didn't.

    If you give a state money for their budget and a % of that budget goes to terrorism, you funded terrorism.

    John Kerry even admitted it.
