Political discussions about everything

Silly effortlessly strikes out again. lol

Your S.S. COLA increase, or no increase, is tied to legislation Nixon signed in '72. The COLA adjustment is tied to consumer price indexing. Obama has no say in the matter.

On the other hand, the Tea Partiers controlling the House agenda could force legislation to get you a bump. But, they've let you down again.

This crazy Iran deal has not even been signed.

It gives Iran 150 billion dollars, and Iran is the global leader in state-sponsored terrorism.

Meanwhile, Paul Ryan just funded amnesty for illegals, Obamacare, uncheckable Syrian refugees, etc.
#67176
The deal, which remains unsigned last I checked, involved 150 billion.

I have no idea what "tea mail" might be, but apparently Grog is suggesting that my info and ideas come from some partisan source.

That's idiotic.

Sure, Grog is lightly educated and experienced, so he does need to rely on some leftist ideological cesspool for his "info."

Others do not.
#67186
So, anyway, Forbes: Where does the $100b or $150b or ninety quadrillion, come from? Is it some kind of gift from the American taxpayer or...?

You can do it, Johnny. :lol:


You're really not playing, are you, simple Silly? How is Obama holding up a COLA increase on your pension? Take your time. lol

:lol: When he's got nothing, which is 99% of the time, Forbes C&P himself.

So you don't know where that $100B or $150b came from.

No one is surprised, Johnny-boy. lol

Maybe simple Silly will give you a much needed reach around and say Obama stole it from his COLA increase. Yeah, that's it. :lol:
#67208
So Forbes still doesn't know where the $100b or $150b comes from.

Let's hope he C&Ps himself again to show his proud ignorance. :lol:



Another silly simple Silly non-sequitur. One of his unintentional specialties. lol
#67244
Well, in fairness to Grog, I've assigned some of my best staff members to go back over this thread.

They located one important, reasoned post which bears repetition:

Grog is really a complete moron.

Why would he think there's some mystery about where the 150 b comes from?

Does he really imagine he is the only person who can read a newspaper or an Internet article?
#67250
That's another thread that's already going.

Let's see if you can focus enough to tell your pals where that $100b or $150b going to the Iranians is coming from.

If you really did read a paper and learn about it today, then it should be easy for you to share. :lol:
#67252
The word "share" is psychobabble.

The concept you are vainly seeking to convey is "tell."

But I'm intrigued by your notion that a person without some insider connection can't figure out a way to invest and prosper in this quasi-capitalist society.

The truth is no such connection is needed, the "game" isn't all "rigged."
#67255
Silly? I sure you haven't wondered, but there's a reason Forbes doesn't want to tell you where the money Obama's "giving" to the Iranians comes from.

He appears to have finally checked today and that's why he's diverting and distracting. lol
#67279
Grog if you had study this subject before blurting out on it, you would know that the $150 Billion is frozen assets and that once we give them those frozen assets, they'll have funding to expand their weapon delivery systems and rapidly develop their nuclear weapons programs. Once they have that money there will be no stopping them short of war.
#67283
Grog, what is wrong with you?

Are you really so naïve that you believe you alone ever read a newspaper or read articles online?

If you believe that, you are really a vain child.

I've followed this insane "deal" with Iran all along, and the 150 will go to the globe's largest state sponsor of terrorism.

Apparently, this is due to Valerie Jarrett being born in Iran, and Obama growing up partly in Indonesia, so they both have nostalgic memories of Islam, and can't even say "Islamic terrorists" because of that mental block.

Never mind the economy in shambles, our foreign "policy" has become a sad joke.
#67364
Finally! And it was none other than Mr. Mendacity himself, JustFreedManMe that told simple Silly and Forbes that Obama wasn't giving the Iranians anything, he was returning what legally belongs to the Iranians.

Way to go, JustFreedManMe! :lol:

#67378
Grog is correct that the COLA is tied to the CPI.

What should happen is that this CPI link, now to the CPI-W, should change to the CPI-E.

This would mean that elderly people, who may more for medical care than younger people and less for other things, would get proper adjustments.

Apparently none of that matters to "Grog", and the other Clown as long as long as their idol they worship isn't held accountable. He really isn't the POTUS. They're right about you dummys and your little word games. What fools. And tools.

Hey Grog.....You seem to know some fact that has not been discussed yet....in that WE ..the US...somehow USED
those frozen assets....

Please explain in detail how we used this money.
Or is that NOT what you were insinuating?
#67387
Ah, simple Silly's slightly dumber brother, TVD checks in at last. Guess the gang's all here. lol

I don't know if or how it was used. When you get into that level of money and finance, different rules apply. The fact that someone agreed to pay interest would indicate to anyone with common sense (thereby excluding conservatives) that those who agreed to pay it believed or knew they would be legally required to pay it.

Of course, as a conservative you are fully entitled to believe whatever you wish. :lol:

I didn't think you knew. Just talking shit again.
Could it possibly be that Kerry folded, and threw in the "interest" just to appease the Iranian heathens?

That is just a feasible as your assertion.
#67394
Why don't you start a Teamail to that effect? You can tell your little friends that Obama confiscated money from several conservative Christian organizations to give the Iranians an additional gift. I'm sure it will fly with your people.


As I said, there was probably some legal consideration that applies to most governments, businesses and individuals. Of course it goes without saying that such considerations don't apply to conservatives.
#67395
I dont start nor do I read teamails.

Why don't you go write your shit for huffpo?

You have admitted that you don't know detals...even tho you insinuated usage of the monies that deserved interest be paid back.

Sounds like your made up shit is what is questionable.

Well, you didn't say that at all, mr huffpo.

May I also postulate? How about these unknown rules for governments....how about maybe the governments would NOT be required to pay interest if the funds are frozen as an act of sanctions...an approved by UN act of sanctions...you know sumpthiin like that....

What's wrong with that other than the fact that you disagree with it?
