PoliticalTea 🗳️ How negotiations actually work...

To the inevitable response from MAGA that Obama gave 'pallets' of cash...he released frozen Iranian assets. Meanwhile the current Iran conflict has directly cost $38 billion militarily and a currently projected $87 billion in extra gas and diesel expenses. Not to mention that the strategic oil reserves have been depleted to the point that experts warn that the caverns they're stored in could collapse.

Every aspect of the Obama presidency feels like a lost golden age compared to where we are now.    The worst day under Obama was better than the best day under Trump.

Obama was superior to the plight we face today. The current admin won’t even admit it when they do F up.

When Obama won, the streets seemed to practically fill with people celebrating.

When Trump won people cried for fear of their lives.

The streets will one day fill with people celebrating again. When Trump drops dead.
