Congress has no balls.
***************
As long as Republicans remain in control of the House and Senate that is absolutely true. They may as well stay home. There’s no point in them bothering to come to Washington since they’re not going to do a damn thing.
One would think that by now the Republican Party would be embarrassed into action but they are content with playing games with their voters and enjoying the perks of office.
Now if Democrats regain control, you can be sure they will wield power ruthlessly. I have grudging respect for the fact that they play to win.

Tom Cottons on it. He wrote a letter to the administration asking about the timing and nature of the payment.Good, let's make sure we don't get upset about paying ransom with U.S. taxpayer funds to terrorists - it just wouldn't be "Presidential".

They will sit on their nuts and do nothing but whine!! They control the Senate and the House but they are ball-less! Couldn’t put the Cankle away for violating the Espionage Act. Couldn’t shut down Obama care, even though the head turd in the House said they needed to get control of he Senate, well it happened and guess what nothing! Nothing but rhetoric from the assclowns!!!

Gee should we just grab our ankles again or wait for Ryan to explain this as some misunderstanding. A-holes all.

Congress has ceded their legislative power/responsibility to the Judicial Branch and now they've ceded their fudiciary power/responsibility to the Executive Branch.
It is amazing -- simply amazing -- to me how weak, how disinterested most Republicans, especially the GOPE leaders, are when they are granted power by the vote.

I take that as sarcasm. One can not possible believe you are ever going to hear one word of TRUTH out of this admin.

Across 37 years the very DAY that the money is transferred is the very day of hostage release, and they want to pretend there is no connection????
I thought the same thing - these buffoons think Americans are really this stupid? I guess so because over 13,000+ days this was the only time that could be arranged!!! America you got what you so desperately wanted in this Hope and Change.

But WHO let this happen? Obama doesn’t have a “stash”...he can only spend and GIVE AWAY tax dollars WITH APPROVAL OF CONGRESS. The REPUBLICANS run Congress... So the REPUBLICANS...especially the Speaker of the House is responsible, not Obama. Ryan gave him the money! Why can’t people make that connection???????

ok...then why was the DOJ against this? Why was it not announced? If the President of the U.S. works for our interests, shouldn’t he tell the people we’re normalizing relations, vice paying ransom. So the Iranians held these people to get the Shah’s (ostensibly Iranian people’s) money back. Why not announce that?

Congress controls the nations purse. Where does Obama come up with cash?
Wait... I know. Slush funds from unspent appropriations. New law: At the end of each fiscal year, all unspent funds go back to the treasury.

That’s the problem. “Republicans considering” means no action. Cowards.

If Congress is so upset why have they waited this long to raise questions?

I use to blame Putin for helping build Iran's nuclear program. But I think Obama tops it off with a 400 billion cash infusion.
