    It takes a very special kind of " smarts " to fix all the stuff
    Obama broke.

    Come on Fool why do you give Trump credit for anything good going on in America, but anything that is not is Pres. Obama's fault.

    Yes Trump is a fool but I still would love to see the 1960s program name Storm fury restarted with modern aircraft that are able to dump hundreds of tons of cloud seeding chemicals into the eye walls an study the results with state of the art computers not the 1960s versions using IBM cards.

    We end that program far too soon.

    Oh ! fer cryin out loud.Name for me one aspect of American
    Life Obama did not break or make dramatically worse.
    From Race Relations to making a strong vibrant Economy emerge.
    To his disasterious handling of the Middle East.And Iran
    From His destroying Agencies like the FBI and CIA and State Dept.
    We know why now.To usher in a first in Presidential politics.
    To implement a Deep State in order to weaponize a way to control
    We the People and spread bias { Fake News } propaganda.
    Name for me One doggone thing Obama did to make our
    country stronger,safer and more American.More self-dependent and confident.
    Without relying on Big Brother for every need.No matter how big or small.
    I thought as mush.

    Sigh ... you've been listening to too much Rush Limbaugh.

    I'm assuming that by "ransom" you mean the plane load of $400 million or so in cash that the Obama administration sent to Iran when the ink was dry on the nuclear deal. A) it wasn't ransom and B) it wasn't taxpayer money. Not. One. Dime. The cash in various denominations was Iran's money. The deal included that we, the USA, would unfreeze Iranian state and private business assets, which we seized a couple decades previously.

    Do you get it? It was their effing money. They simply asked for that portion of it in cash of various denominations, not just in dollars. There was no good reason to say no to that.

    But of course the right wing talking heads took that ball and ran with it, easily convincing the righties who don't like to look things up for themselves that Obama had paid Iran out of our taxpayer dollars. Go ahead, ask Rush yourself. I did, and he deflected like a madman. Guys like him make a good living by taking a tiny piece of a whole story out of context and telling people why it should make them angry. Rush does it, Hannity does it, and Carlson tries to do it but lacks the intellect and just starts screaming nonsense. Pathetic.

    Fake news attempt to whitewash what Obama pulled by in the dead of night
    on an unmarked cargo plane loaded with pallets of currency.
    NOT $ 400 Million but rather $ 1.7 Billion.Obama pleading when questioned
    " We do not pay ransom for hostages ". Nice try Bubba.Not "we " as
    The United States but YOU Pally.Obama's team at the White House feverishly
    tried to keep this from the public." However that presupposed many of the reporters
    weren't open to playing along. " As was not the usual case as far as Obama and
    his wee willie winkie compliant media.
    The White House used Ben Rhodes { again } to set up a team of staffers
    whose entire job was to promote a false narrative about the Iran Hostage deal.
    Like Rhodes did for the Benghazi Cartoon Obama put forth.
    Ironically it wasn't long after the Hostage for hard cash trade that Iran was
    back to taking hostages again.,

    Unlike your cult leader, Benedict Donald, then Senator Obama acknowledged his verbal ****-up the same day and issued a mea culpa. It's an example Cantaloupe Caligula and his worshipers should follow, instead of his/your usual doubling down on the stupid.

    It's nice to know Trump is worried about Alabama being hit by the Hurricane. :)

    Naw ... don't kill him. That would just make him a holy martyr to his rabid base.

    Seriously, he is mentally incompetent. If the cabinet had any honor at all, they'd invoke the 25th.

    That link doesn't prove any of your statements in comment #134. In fact, it more or less backs me up.

    I may have been wrong about one detail, though. I had read other articles that claimed the $400 million (not 1.7 billion) was part of Iran's unfrozen assets, but according to your link:

    "The State Department has said the payment was part of a settlement of a decades-long legal dispute before an international tribunal in The Hague and that the timing was coincidental."

    Either way, thanks for the article. Now, can you prove any of your claims?

    Foolardi won't listen and Trump is too stupid to ever get that it was Iranian money.

    The money Iran got was their money.. Assets frozen since 1979.. Trump may be a thief, but typically its NOT an American value. What do you say for yourself? Are you?
