The New Jersey Democrat laid out how the U.S. had allowed Iran to sell an estimated $10 billion worth of sanctioned oil to China and then promised to further alleviate sanctions in return for releasing highly enriched uranium and committing to limiting its enrichment capacity.
“And that was the exact deal that you guys vilified, that the president and you vilified President Obama for having,” Booker said. Of course, Donald Trump’s deal is even worse than Booker says, as it reportedly includes a $300 billion investment fund for Tehran, in the event that a deal is reached.
$10 Billion to $300 billion. ART OF THE DEAL!
They’re literally arguing this right now. For the Kennedy center, the judge deemed the placement of the name illegal, and it must be removed.
They argue the name cannot be removed because it will make the Kennedy center ‘financially unreliable’
Good, the whole fucken world needs to become financially unreliable right now. I am so sick of these vampires chasing the dragon when this entire fucking society thing is supposed to be about making life easier. Its driving me fucking insane.
I mean as in not human, sure. Billionaires stop being human after a certain amount of time with that kind of power
Well you also have corporations as non-human people, according to our illustrious top legal minds.
Granted, those “people” exist so that profits can be passed to the billionaires while liabilities are not
Word brother. It’s time to take a torch to the whole stupid system.
Ah the good ol “financially unreliable” GOP attack plan. As an example-- Congress made USPS “finacially unreliable” by making them fund 30 year pensions completely in advance when hiring anyone. And then appointing a massive investor in USPS’s competitors (Dejoy) to head it, followed by a fedex board member to head it (Steiner). And then when USPS workers somehow survived anyway Dejoy needlessly decomissioned a bunch of brand new automated sorting machines to make the need to hire humans to manually sort mail crazy high-- when hiring humans cost millions per person at time of hire because of the insane pension rule.
Its a good sneaky back room deal to kill just about any government organization you want. Without that the USPS was profitable even without raising rates and had extraordinarily high approval ratings. USPS had the gaul to compete with other commerical shipping companies like Fedex, UPS, and XPS logistics so it had to be murdered. Screw what the citizens need or what effects that would have on the economy. They will do the same nonsense to every branch of government, and evidently to the Kennedy center.
Good point, reminds me of the argument in my city about the busses being non-profitable. If my taxes go to a service, that service does not need to be profitable. Nobody asks how much revenue the fire department generates.
The Kennedy center seemed to be doing just fine before the orange turd stuck his name on it
Like the country. And the east wingbof the WH. And some casinos. And a university. And a family. And the air aound his orangeness.
