Not me, I am all for it. Consider how much of our tax payer dollars that were supposed to go to Social Programs ends up going to fraud or to fund seditious NGOs, $500 million is a drop in the bucket compared to that.

Right leaning voters should be upset by judge's rulings a plurality of the time. The idea of self governance and freedom are very liberal left leaning concepts and the US Constitution and US laws are liberal constructs. When you have foundational laws that allow you to live, work, worship, vote, marry, and fu!k who you want you will infuriate those on the right who purport to be 'freedom loving' Americans while attempting to deny enshrined rights to those who don't look, act, or think like them. By design and by default, if judges, regardless of political appointment, are following the law then a majority of the time you'll have happy left leaning voters and unhappy right leaving voters. But that's the whole point of MAGA isn't it? To reverse decades of case law codifying that our laws do apply to everyone and not just land owning white straight Protestants.

It’s actually not a drop in the bucket. Very poignant you chose to attack social programs as opposed to billions in a war he said he would not do. Just goes to show how you can tell someone’s political mindset with a simple post as yours.

At least money spent on war goes directly into the economy, manufacturing, and jobs. And who knows maybe the war takes care of a 47 year problem that President after President ignored. Money much more well spent then buying someone who has only been in the country for a few years a Mercedes Benz S-Class for opening a fake Hospice or Child Care Center or paying the head of the KKK millions of dollers for false flag operations to manufacture hate to keep cash flow into their organization ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So if it helps Spirit get through this then I say let's do it.

Please stop getting your “news” from podcasts. They don’t have any reputable sources to cite or peer reviews.

President after President ignored? Trump pulled out of the nuclear accord in 2018 saying it was a “bad deal” for no other reason than Obama made the deal. Even Trump’s security advisors were against him pulling it. But Trump did. And since then, Iran has been enriching. Action, consequence.

Trump literally helped create the very crisis he is now
trying to stop.

More podcast based “news” to be angry about.


So if it helps Spirit get through this then I say let's do it.
Socialism for me, but not for thee, said the airline pilot.

1) Sunset provisions.... In other words a deferral or a punt to the future POTUS. Personally, I hated this deal back when it happened for this reason alone without even looking further into it.
It was still a step in the right direction, with nothing major sunsetting until year 8 and year 15.



2) JCPOA didn't address the ballistic missiles either. Funny how Iran started launching ballistic missiles at its neighbors and civilian targets no less. That action alone proved the POTUS was right. The Iranian regime would have zero qualms of nuking Tel Aviv or Riyadh if it furthered their goals.
Hold up, are you blaming Iran for launching ballistic missiles? Iran was attacked first on Feb 28 by Israel and the United States, who hit both civilian and military targets. Killed 100+ school girls too. And now you’re complaining about retaliation with ballistic missiles? This is not a moral equivalency to “they’ll use nukes!” Reality is, the truth: if Iran had nukes, then just like Russia, they would not be attacked with impunity.


3) JCPOA as part of goodwill ended up with the US sending billions of dollars in unfrozen Iranian funds which they, despite their promises, turned into funding for Iranian proxy terror activities in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, etc.
Thats a claim. Evidence? Show specifically, with a trace of money, that it ended up in Lebanon or Yemen.



4) No true and unqualified ability to inspect for compliance. With a regime like that? Look up how it all played out with inspecting the Parchin complex. That predates Trump, but sure did play a big role in Trump's approach to the whole Iran thing.
Iran accepted the most intrusive IAEA inspections ever negotiated, allowing inspectors to monitor declared sites, uranium mines, and centrifuge production facilities. Until 2018 that is…



Only a naive fool would believe a regime like the one currently in power in Iran to not build nuclear weapons if given any leeway. JCPOA might have merely bought time, but absolutely punted on the actual threat.
Unlike the one in power now here, who has given 10 different reasons for the attacks on Iran, changing depending on which way the media wind is blowing.



Like Pakistan and India, personally I think the only hope for peace in the ME is a nuclear stalemate. The thing about those Ayatollahs, they love staying in power. Being dead prevents that. Long term peace in the ME involves a nuclear armed Iran and Israel. The U.S. and Israel have shown there really isn’t any other way. All of this will only increase the desire for Iran to have nukes.

NK pilot: “Man, this whole situation has been really stressful. Not sure why I’m doing this but let’s see what’s going on in the NK sub”



OA pilots arguing with each other: “Well ACTUALLY the JCPOA said…”
