That's pretty much the OP's point.

The last paragraph. Use that, with a little math and reason.

I don't play your CFR game subby, but it's interesting you couldn't resist to take a shot at Obama. I don't recall you ever doing the same with Trump or anyone you view as a republican. You show your consistent far right bias and why you go after anyone you view as liberal as apposed to discussing an issue.

Geez, i don't know, maybe ask Hawkeye?


That is an admission you don't know the Iran deal is a bad deal, or that you will know whether any deal with North Korea will be a good deal.

Lol. Could you imagine if Obama had told the leader of North Korea that the US would protect his position as dictator and enrich his country if Kim 'promises' to not continue to test weapons that he already has? Or had rebuked his own Department of Commerce for doing its job and instead promised China to support one of their manufacturers otherwise facing bankruptcy and penalties for selling US technology to Iran, repeatedly and after being reprimanded for doing so in the past? Oh, the horror! Fox and their viewing minions would be in spittting, apoplectic overdrive!

Might as well toss in the fact that the current Prez has paid 130K to silence at least one porn star about dalliances while he was married (and then blatantly lied about it to the American people), was working deals for commercial real estate in Moscow when he was a candidate, retained a lawyer that has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in 'consulting fees' from major industry players who arguably have seen some benefit from those payments, and sent to the US Embassy opening in Tel Aviv - as his Administration's theological representative - a pastor who has openly and publicly claimed that sub's chosen faith is a lying cult with members doomed for hell.

But, once one has abdicated their free and rational thought in favor of complete obeiscence to their 'team' and its specious claim of 'moral authority', then we can expect these sorts of sad arguments and risible distractions in defense of Dear Leader.
