Great. The Can't-Do-Nuffin Party has jiu-jitsued itself into a pin.

That is something to be "proud" of when you hold all the aces and your opponent holds a busted flush.

Pathetic.

It’s time for the Republican Party to shut down the government. Who cares if there is political damage; now is the time to stand up. Cut the funding for this.

[ Why can the democrats use the nuclear option and we won’t? ]

When it comes to the Iran deal, Iran probably already has the nukes and the spineless Pubes won’t try to fight the deal which is nuclear blackmail from Iran.

If we knew the truth we would probably have to start running duck and cover drills in schools again.

There is no funding.

If you think the $160 billion that Iran is going to get is coming out of the U.S. Treasury, you're mistaken.

The $160 billion represents the value of Iranian assets in the West that were frozen during the Carter administration after the hostage-taking incident.

Thus, they are Iranian assets being returned to Iran. No funding involved.

Zeke Emanuel, one of the brains behind 0bamacare, said that there’s no need for any of us to live past 75. Perhaps it’s time for these POS’s to retire and get their affairs in order?

the Corker bill, terrible as it is did say all the information had to be given to congress withing something like a week. It wasn’t done. I’m totally lost as to why there has to even be a vote. Obama didn’t abide by the law. Why is there some question about that?
I guess the silver lining here is this agreement is owned by the Dems completely. It’s unpopular today and will even more so by the election. Any cheating, inevitable i believe, will be worn in bright colors by every Dem who voted to permit it.

We won't kow about any cheating, though, since there is no means of identifying and reporting it. Until it's too late...

It is Israel’s problem now. The good thing is I suspect they can handle it rather well. The bad thing is it may lead to a world war.

Trump isn’t a reasonable option. There are no reasonable options.

Trump wouldn’t be a good president. However, the majority of the field would be as bad or worse.

As I said I'm not a Trump fan. However, he would make a better president than any of the Democrats (Any one of them). In fact Any of the Republicans would be preferable to any of the Democrats.

You’re question assumes stupidity on the GOP part. While true in many cases, that’s not the deal here. The game is fixed and they’re in on it.

Reasoning is not in some people. There are a dozen hardcore RINOS in the GOP that are really leftist DRATS, but they taint the entire party and some people are unable to understand that.

True, BUT cash flow is cash flow. That cash, which comes from their accounts that were frozen for good reasons (Iran is a terrorist organization), will be used as the Iranian Regime sees fit.

Correction: those in D.C. are QUITE serious about winning/advancing THEIR agenda.

It’s restoring the Republic, protecting our Rights and advancing our Freedom they all don’t take seriously.

Why does anyone believe D.C. would ‘put themselves out of business’ and/or subject to the same rules/Laws, when they can line their own/family/friends pockets with the $$ of The People ‘legally’ instead?

I thought the senate was to ratify treaties and the president could veto them. If he did, then the senate could vote to override the veto.

In this case Obama went out and “ratified” a treaty and the senate voted to not “un-ratify” it. When did they start voting on “negatives”?

The gopE are a bunch of frauds. We MUST stop voting for people just because they have an “R” after their names. Stay home if there’s no other choice. The gop must be destroyed and the only way to do it is allow it to die.
