A short operation like the boots on the ground operation to retrieve the weapons of mass destruction from Iraq? Did we ever find any, I forgot?

Have we had any more Kurds getting gassed since liberating Iraq and Saddam being hung? I think the answer you're looking for here is, NO!

I don't like the idea of "boots on the ground" however we have spent a lot of time, money and human life ridding the world of Iran's ability to terrorize the world! I think we should go in there and secure the damn nukes!

Could Iran be lying? I guess, but all signs point to them having enriched uranium at levels at least capable of a dirty bomb! I'd rather be safe than sorry after all these efforts thus far!

Furthermore, Iran has shown SERIOUS instability by lashing out at even other Arab nations! Bombing cities that haven't anything to do with this joint operation with the USA and Israel!

I think it's clear, the murderous and radical Ayatollah regime -- the one your boy Obama sent PLANE LOADS of cash to without any results -- needs to go! 

You see PowerStroker, all this time I have told you that Iran (under the Ayatollah regime) had illegitimate claims to money they gave as a deposit for weapons back when they were a peaceful nation.

For you, it was totally okay to give this radical terrorist regime billions of dollars in cash because you're an Obama worshiper. Rather than using logic, you just blindly stuck to partisanship. Now you look like a fool!

Did Obama seek the collective wisdom of Congress before loading up a few airplanes worth of cash and sending them to Iran? Or did he do an end-run around congress and use some secret account to pony up the cash?

That being said, you should just sit down with all that Holier than thou "worthy of congress" drivel! You guys had your chance, you screwed up BADLY -- and now we are having to clean up the mess of them CASH FUNDS your boy gave them!

Frankly, I find your suggestion of involving Congress to clean up a mess YOUR PARTY caused without seeking Congress quite a bit insulting and hypocritical!

 

More lies! PowerStroker, you're entitled to your own opinions -- but not your own facts!

1st off, there was no Judgement that I am aware of! Obama just decided to stick his big fat nose into foreign policy and send his pals a few billion in cash!

2nd, there was no obligation for the US to return Iran's money after the stunts they pulled when the Ayatollah family brutally overthrew the government! Furthermore, even if there had been a ruling -- said ruling could have been appealed, and would have been! 

It was 100% Obama's decision to butt into what our international law team was handling! Now that time has passed we have seen what Iran has done with that CASH MONEY that Obama sent them! If you ask me he should be held to account!

I demand that you produce this "court order" as I have done every other time you have used such a false narrative in the past! Because if there is one, I think every Judge who authorized said "order" should be held to account as well!

I'll be waiting!

Well then it should be somewhere on your computer if you already posted it! C'mon PowerStroker! We wanna see that Judgement you keep talking about!

You don't have it, because it does not exist! The case was still being litigated prior to Obama just deciding to send Iran billions in cash!

You're lucky it's busy here or I'd be busting your chops in all these other threads right now too... Things being what they are, I'll have to savor them for later -- if I'm not completely wiped out by the end of the day.

Getting old is a bitch you know.

I find it outright reprehensible that people like yourself (Democrats) are so full of hate for your country that you try and take the side of a terrorist state like Iran!

There was no Judgement per the attached documents! It was a SETTLEMENT, based on the poor decisions of the Obama administration who feared the "risk" of litigation!

Iran was in no way entitled to ANY of their money back after 1979! They attacked our embassy and took hostages! We may never understand what went wrong with you PowerStroker!

But what we do understand is the lengths you will go in order to pervert any and everything you touch!

I should also mention that "interest" is against the Muslim religion! It's called usury and historically it meant charging any interest at all! Yet here we have Iran accepting over a BILLION in usury payments!

It should also be noted that John Kerry was and still is one of the biggest piles of crap next to Obama and people like yourself.

Seeing how you have spent so much time trying to justify all the wrong Iran has and continues to do in the world makes me realize the Democrat party may be compromised.

The "settlement" by your ignorant party is what made up the "judgement"... there was no litigation, and I stand by my claims that the Obama Administration settled this matter not because they worried about the "risk of litigation" but rather because they were in on it!

 

No PowerStroker! I never doubted there was a case -- I clearly said that I doubted that actual litigation had occurred and found the US to be responsible outside of Obama and his administration "settling" the matter.

And all your research only proved that it was a settlement by the Obama administration.

Nice try though!

And FYI -- the court actually ruled on the United States side, to the tune of $2.5 billion -- some 4,700 times!

For someone who runs around saying election integrity does not matter -- and that factual proof of cheating isn't enough to merit the effort to stop it completely, you're really letting your true colors show here!

When did I say election integrity doesn't matter, I believe it absolutely does. I also believe our elections are done legitimately, even though Trump won last time.

Do you have any statistics about the problems you wish to solve here?

Maybe in Kentucky, but in Minnesota public schools we learned to read and write, not how to suck dick. I've never experienced peer pressure or teacher pressure to be anything but myself.

What that teacher did is already considered a crime, and not part of Minnesota's curriculum. He is being punished for it.

Exactly what changes would you like to make to the criminal code or school curriculum in this regard?

In what way? I've been asking for specific examples of changes to the curriculum but haven't gotten any.

We didn't have litter boxes, there were tampon dispensers in the girls room.

As far as what people would have said, I really don't know. If I remember right, there were a couple transgender students back then. They pretty much kept to themselves. I don't even remember their names. They never bothered me. I'm sure some people gave them a rough time.

I don't remember any trans, maybe a gay guy, gal or so but everything was pretty much in the closet in 1959 when I started school. Really if someone is an adult, fully matured in body and brain, fine. I even compliment trans if I see them in stores, simple things like "I like your "Coach" purse, that's all my EX would buy." Kids shouldn't make such decisions until that time.

A buddy I still miss terrible was gay, from birth. I was having a hard time with my GF and I said "Gene, I think I'm gonna turn gay" He laughed and said "shawnee, it's not a choice." A lieutenant in Vietnam too. Bad ass, I always had to hold him back when we went target shooting and he saw some Vietnamese in the ditches or fields getting greens. He kinda flashed back. Never bothered me in a gay way and we were best of friends, I doubt a day went by we weren't together doing guy shit. WE were having some of my tripple shot espresso getting ready to go kayaking, he had a massive heart attack right there. GF was a 30 year nurse supervisor and was right on him doing cpr till the paras came.

I have a trans friend of 9 years and I call her girl, use pronouns. Great person. I'm not against any of the lgbt. Minor attracted, yes. I quote the bible and what God says because they need to be aware and to hear it, then do what you want, I spread the word as I was told to.

Just leave the kids alone, no drugs or mutilations until their minds have fully matured.

Nobody cares what your self castrated, non-offspring having mind is inclined to think!

Hands off the kids! Pervert!

Getting back on topic... Iran has 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz or we're gonna turn out their lights.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-threatens-iran-48-hours-003517827.html

Iran has been warned once more!

Seems to me Iran needs their lights knocked out... then it will be easier for us to see what needs to be taken out!

Are their lights and power? That is where a bomb needs to be dropped! Easy for us to spot their remaining hold-outs.

After Iran saying the things that they have said it's clear turning out the lights is the next step... followed by a takeover of their oil distribution island! 

We should not have to pay for this BS! We need to pump every dollar out of Iran that we spend liberating it! 

Furthermore there should be NO reparations for Iran! NONE! Iran brought this action on under nuclear threat!
