Senate Democrats revolt against Biden sending $6 billion to Iran

[HARK!]

President Biden is facing a growing rebellion in his party over his $6 billion deal brokered this summer with Iran in exchange for the release of American prisoners.

At least eight Senate Democrats, nearly all of whom have tough races next year in competitive states, said the assets should remain frozen until more intelligence is gathered about whether Iran played a direct role — and to what degree — in the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel.

Those Democrats included Sens. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia, Jon Tester of Montana, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin. Ms. Cortez Masto is the only one not up for reelection. Arizona Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who caucuses with Democrats and is up for reelection but undecided if she’ll run, also said the money should be kept out of Iran‘s reach.

This is the Iranians own money, isn’t it?

This is the Iranians own money, isn’t it?

Kept in an account administered by a third party and none used yet, but don't let reality muddy the waters.

No! It's taxpayer money that evil Joe Biden gave to Iran because he loves them and wants destroy Israel.

Or something like that.

US and Qatar reach ‘quiet understanding’ not to release $6bn sent to Iran for now, Treasury official tells House Democrats​

The United States and Qatar have reached a “quiet understanding” not to allow Iran to access any of the $6 billion in Iranian funds that were transferred to Qatari accounts last month as part of a deal to free Americans detained in Iran for the time being, following Hamas’ bloody attack on Israel on Saturday, Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo told House Democrats Thursday, according to a source in the room.

None of the funds have “been spent or accessed in any way by Iran,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at a news conference Thursday in Tel Aviv.

Don’t you ever tire of this lame-o propaganda?

Iran has attacked U.S. forces.

Another unsubstantiated claim?

 

[Valletta]

Don’t you ever tire of this lame-I propaganda ?

It's not propaganda, people can see Joe for themselves. I am concerned about Iranian operatives in Joe's administration.

 

[DaisyDay]

It's not propaganda, people can see Joe for themselves. I am concerned about Iranian operatives in Joe's administration.

It’s totally propaganda.

Of course, you have actual evidence of this?

Meanwhile you are fine with your guy disseminating our own nuclear submarine specs to his paying club members?

It's not propaganda. I'm concerned for him. I can think for myself. Thanks you very much.

 

[rambot]

I don't understand how anyone continues to fall for the "branding" of this propaganda and then never address the truth when it is presented.

 

[DaisyDay]

It's not propaganda. I'm concerned for him. I can think for myself. Thanks you very much.

Sure it is. Just because you believe it doesn’t mean it isn’t propaganda.

 

[RileyG]

Sure it is. Just because you believe it doesn’t mean it isn’t propaganda.

I disagree and you are free to disagree with me. That's totally fine.

Blessings

If you believe consistently factually inaccurate information, you believe propaganda.

I don't think people that exclusively watch right wing media understand what's going on in the world.
