On Friday’s edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) suggested that 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump is engaging in some sort of deal like “what happened to Jimmy Carter when Reagan and his troops cut a deal with the Iran[ian] ayatollah and leaving Jimmy Carter to hang out there.”
Garamendi said, “If there’s going to be a cognitive test, let’s not have a kindergarten cognitive test, which is what Trump continually talks about. If there’s going to be a cognitive test, yes, both should. But I would like to see Donald Trump stand in front of the international press corps, as Biden did yesterday, and answer the questions, answer the detailed questions about international relationships, detailed questions about national security. And I’d like him also to explain to the international press why he spent four years as President, basically tearing apart NATO and handing the keys to Putin. And I remember the press conference in Helsinki. I remember what happened there. And all of us, now that we have Russia invading Ukraine, all of us should be aware of what’s going on.”

Reminds me of when I had just moved to Virginia from New York in 2021 and saw a streaming ad talking about how Glenn Youngkin was close with President Trump and they agreed on so much. I thought, “Wow, this Youngkin guy sounds awesome. I’m definitely voting for him” and then it turned out to be a Terry McAuliffe ad. Seems that the McAwful campaign figured an association with Trump was radioactive and linking the two would be enough. It sure was for me.
JOHN has resurfaced?????
WHERE has he been hiding???
What IQ does he THINK HE HAS???
IIRC-— AFTER & GANG sent in a “HELICOPTER RESCUE” in the middle of a sandstorm.
THAT BACKFIRED
Has anybody told this guy to sit-down and STFU yet?
Garamendi’s a life-long, back-bencher who every decade or so has to say or do something controversial to re-establish his relevance!
I do believe you are correct. The Mullahs knew the reign of horror that was coming if they didn't release our American citizens. It would be no pitiful desert operation under Carter.
President Ronald Reagan is a hero to me. He made some mistakes, especially accepting the House BS with NO more illegals if he accepted those already here. He go buffaloed by the Speaker (can't remember the name).
But who could deny his loyalty to the troops, especially with an 11.7% raise during his first days? Then the ballsy guy put a stake in the heart of the Soviet Union with more military spending and the so-called STAR WARS. The Soviets couldn't keep up and the Berlin Wall fell.
I spent many years on Navy ships being chased by Soviet subs just itching to send me down. We went to official General Quarters many times. He ended all that through his determination, strength, and other attributes.
President Trump has similar strength and characteristics. Think the historic Abraham Accords that normalized relations between Israel, UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan. Before those nations Egypt and Jordan had already come to diplomatic relations years before.
I would be if Biteme hadn't stole the election, Saudi Arabia would have joined the Abraham Accords. They were talking about it in their own circles and royalty.
STFU John... You really are one of the stupidest people in all of congress and you prove it every time you open your mouth.
Yeah? He cut a deal? The only deal was that they release the hostages or they were toast.
Something Brutha Jimmah couldn’t pull off.
Trump did criticize NATO...to get them to pull their own weight and quit being slackers riding on US.
Like ALL dumblcrats, this one is a deliberate LIAR.
I can’t stand Garamendi, he never makes a lick of sense in anything he ever says. His IQ must be just above mental retardation.
Now do John Kerry and Miley.
Why do they worship NATO? it’s an outdated and useless alliance. Costs us too much.
“Is that the one where VP candidate George Bush flew his SR-71 to Iran to tell them to keep the hostages?”
I remember reading Time magazine on that and it proved to me as now, that liberals are “bat guano” crazy!
The Iranians had read all the ridiculous press about Reagan being “cowboy” and would be crazy enough to nuke Tehran into a glass parking lot!
They wanted good terms with the new administration so they let the hostages go just past the last minute of the Carter Administration!
Every cried “hurrah” when Reagan said”Our hostages are in the air!”
There was no “deal”. The Iranians were about to wear an asskicking and didn’t want to piss off RWR. They knew their abuses of Americans could only go as long as Carter was in office.
