Oh I'm just sure that Linkerbaan is reposting this as we speak. Since he totally wasn't lying about Trump supposedly trying to negotiate a ceasefire lol
Oh no, you're thinking of Iran-Contra, the other treasonous act that Reagan committed involving Iran. OP is talking about the rumored deal Reagan made with Iran wherein Iran would not release the American hostages until after the 1980 election. Coincidentally, the hostages were released on January 20th, 1981, the day Reagan was sworn in.
Sidenote, has anyone seen the Netflix documentary about the octopus murders? I think the proof that Reagan made that deal is at the heart of that conspiracy.
I'm gonna need more than somebody's social media post on this.
Edit: Because right now it's "somebody's" social media post with an unsourced and undated quote from "someone" referring to "reporting," with a picture of a lady that has a PBS/NewsHour watermark. This is exactly the kind of thing you should be skeptical of in the absence of better confirmation, all up and down that ladder of vagueness.
In his meeting with Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago a day after the Fox News interview, Trump said the situation with the hostages is very tough and that they have to be returned immediately.
Yeah. The hostage situation is “very tough”. They’re not gonna ‘fix’ that for him its just right out there like that’s how leaders talk. As if. And, agreed, he couldn’t lead a Mongol horde out of a wet paper bag.
Agreed. The "lady" is Judy Woodruff, PBS anchor and correspondent since it was the MacNeill-Lehrer News Hour, so it would greatly surprise me if she didn't have some credible evidence behind "the reporting is".
But I missed that moment last night, so I'd want to be sure she said it.
I edited it within a very short time after posting it. There's some kind of "grace period" (at least on fedia.io), but I don't know exactly what it is.
It is crazy to me that all of the "Genocide Joe" crowd don't see that Netanyahu wants Trump to win so he can show the world what genocide actually looks like.
Well, not that crazy, considering a good portion of them are propagandists.
Where is our little rogues gallery right now? Every single thread for every little detail any Dem does, they are reliably in the comments screeching. "How wretched is this miserable party to stoop so low, how despicable their voters!" But I haven't seen any of them in this thread.
It all so closely resembles 2016. Remember the phantom Bernie Facebook groups? Remember "Bernie supporters" voting trump instead. They think we are idiots and some of us must be for falling for it, time, and time again.
Nobody has ever been convicted under the Logan act, and Trump is desperate to win to shield himself from much more serious charges. But yes, if likely does.
And Democrats will just allow the Republican to get away with treason 'for the good of the country', even though that's how we got into this mess. If Nixon actually went to jail, this whole era of Republican dirty tricks and corruption would've never happened.
You're giving Trump way too much credit. Republicans couldn't pass a border bill under Bush Jr, when they had all three branches of government firmly in hand and "Protecting the Border" was a major campaign issue. A big chunk of the GOP wants to literally do a holocaust followed by a massive land grab along the US/Mexico border. Any legislation that doesn't grant this is DOA in the Republican-controlled House.
Trump got to be the face of why it failed this time. But it was Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo back in 2006. And it was Cornyn, McCain, and Graham who killed it in 2011. Then Republicans killed their own Border Security and Immigration Reform Act of 2018, back when it might have helped Trump.
Its so fucking easy to kill immigration bills in Congress. Nobody likes voting for them. Anything that can even be hinted at increasing the amount of legal immigration is a poisoned pill. They always fail.
