    Key word Honest.

    Of course you would trust the posters self description because you are doing the same thing.

    I have to assume this must be some kind of generational misunderstanding. As in Gen Z types not understanding that there are conservative and moderate Democrats out there in the world, likely to vote for Biden unless Gen Z types piss them off SO much that they'd consider voting for Trump just to spite the Gen Z types.

    ;)

    No one but a Trump bootlicker would place any value whatsoever on your "contacts".

    Hey dude, @astros123 has some contacts in Pakistan about some secret deal between Iran and the US. That's some high level contacts.

    Definitely a good faith moderate poster there.

    Generational?

    Do you know my age?

    I can't believe you are still trying to play this game.

    No moderate would post over and over from the sites you do.

    I'm just waiting for @DaDakota to show up. last night he was predicting millions of lives being lost and I'm assuming he's had a rough day. I'd like to console him but I know he's blocked me. If you can tell him "hugs and kisses from Os" I'd really appreciate it. :D

    You seem to spend an awful tot of time trying to convince people you are a moderate.

    And to be truthful I only have questioned your motives until today.

    Ooooh Nooees! He’s threatening to vote for Trump because mean millennials hurt his fee fees on the internet. This is a quintessential O’s post. The only thing missing is a link to an Althouse blog.

    I never get that argument. Right wingers, leftists moderates, people from all political spectrums insult each other on the internet. Only one group of people claim that it makes them want to vote for someone because of that.

    It's as if it's a bad faith argument.

    Go on Facebook and see how many millennial jokes there are from older boomer types spammed all across the platform. That doesn't make millennials desire to elect someone to piss off boomers. They vote out of ideological policy desires even if people consider them not pragmatic.

    If your motive to vote for someone to manage the world's largest bureaucracy is out of spite because of insults on the internet than those insults were probably accurate.

    1.The United States government did deliver large quantities of cash packed onto pallets to the Iranians. It's a matter of historical fact. It was American taxpayer money too.

    It [the United States] gave a total of $1.7 billion.

    That was the amount that U.S. and Iranian negotiators settled on to resolve an arms contract between the United States and Iran that predated the Iranian revolution in 1979. Iran had paid for military equipment, and it was never delivered.

    As of 1990, there were $400 million in that account. Negotiators agreed that accrued interest would add $1.3 billion to the amount, which is a lot of money — but 25 years is a long time for interest to build up the balance.

    The United States sent the money to Iran in euros, Swiss francs and other currencies. Trump embellished when he mentioned barrels and boxes. Reports at the time said the money was packed and loaded onto pallets, similar to how other bulk goods are shipped.

    his comments, along w Gabbard's and Murphy's, are damning and should piss everyone right off. it's the trump admin literally taking everyone for damn idiots or worse yet, willing accomplices. if they're brazen enough to do this in acts of war, why in gods name would you trust them in anything else???
