Obama Strikes Historic Deal With Iran; GOP Loses Collective Sh*t
Jesse Berney | 59 mins ago | Public Enemies

Today President Obama announced the framework of an historic deal with Iran that would prevent the fundamentalist Islamic regime from acquiring nuclear weapons. As Obama said in a statement:

This framework would cut off every pathway that Iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon. Iran will face strict limitations on its program, and Iran has also agreed to the most robust and intrusive inspections and transparency regime ever negotiated for any nuclear program in history. So this deal is not based on trust, it’s based on unprecedented verification.

Republicans, faced with the possibility of a foreign policy victory for the president that could result in a safer, more peaceful world, reacted with their usual measured response. From senators…

Americans and our allies are right to be wary of a nuclear deal w/ Iran that is riddled with concessions by the Obama Administration.

1. look at the GARBAGE from the TRAITORS....I better not be the only one who

is reacting with RAGE when I see this shit.

I know I cant react that way, I know I or we cant physically respond to these TRAITORS but I better not be the only one who is this angry.

[randome]

6. Sometimes it's just sad. They are so pathetic.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font][hr]

[sheshe2]

23. I am with you, NJNP!

[misterhighwasted]

29. I proudly rage along with you NJNP.

I can't even find a despicable enough word to describe how much I detest them.
I have already overused all the words that come close.

[kelliekat44]

33. You ar not the only one. And the relative understatements in the media and here speak volumes

about the fake fear and outrage over Iranian nukes. Much more voice about Indiana.

[madokie]

35. There's a lot of us feeling the same way as you NJNP

I'm wore out with the republiCONs and their TIRED ass shit

They aren't fooling anyone with their outrage

[AikenYankee]

37. You're not the only one NJNP ....

I/we share your rage! Sadly though, it's totally predictable with this President.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

52. I'm with you there. there aren't enough expletives in the world to express

How much they disgust me.


For some reason, that Laura Ingraham line especially made me puke.

[ybbor]

55. You are not alone at all

These cretins are despicable!

[oberliner]

92. Using the term traitors here is ridiculous

It is reminiscent of how the RW referred to those who opposed the Iraq War.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

102. You betcha

Comparing anti war demonstrators to these traitors

[oberliner]

103. It is pretty much exactly the same thing

Except in one case, you agree with the protestors and disagree with the president and the other case you agree with the president and disagree with the protestors.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

104. I dont even know where to begin...just ridiculous

[Voice for Peace]

94. I think it should be "nopeacenojustice"

people have to have a certain measure of peace,
and be at peace with their own conscience, in order
to even SEE how to get there -- to Justice.

We project our own inner chaos onto every situation,
and everybody else does too. Nobody sees clearly,
AND nobody takes responsibility for generating their
own unhappiness.

It HAS to start there -- with each person, one at a time.
Get clear first, be in peace - then act. The peace will
not be a byproduct of actions. It is inside all of us,
already. It is such a power, such a strength, it needs to
be discovered, and used.

(sorry to interject.. resume thread)

2. Cotton balls Tom is already making an ass of himself on network TV.

[Hekate]

3. On the bright side: Biggest deal since Nixon went to China

According to one of Rev. Al's talking pundits.

Someday the GOP is going to hate itself into historical irrelevancy, and our descendents will look back on them with a mixture of wonderment and shame.

[sheshe2]

12. This!

Someday the GOP is going to hate itself into historical irrelevancy, and our descendents will look back on them with a mixture of wonderment and shame.

Hekate.

[misterhighwasted]

32. + 100000. Well Stated

Someday the GOP is going to hate itself into historical irrelevancy

No Truer Statement.

[mcar]

41. Well said Hekate

The American people want this deal. The GOP is on the wrong side of history - as usual.

[Vattel]

4. The idiots probably don't even know what the agreement says.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

8. Nor care, again, NOTHING to do with Iran, EVERYTHING to do with making sure Obama

has NOTHING on his record to point to as a positive.

Problem is he has a resume now that is amazing.

Even without this deal.

Civil war or world war is the goal of the teaparty.

[central scrutinizer]

74. Yes, they want to make sure Obama is a one term president

Oh, wait ...

[gratuitous]

10. Criticizing the agreement is easier when you don't sweat the facts

Besides, in the fact-free environment Republicans have fashioned for themselves and their devoted adherents, you just have to say something to make it so. "Global warming is a hoax because it snowed a lot in Boston this winter."

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

98. I personally know a libertarian

Who said that because the temperature in Minneapolis was -2°F on a specific day in February, this disproved global warming. He was also the man who told me that the problem with the Hubble Space Telescope optics was that NASA "forgot to parabolize the mirror", that the fix for the Hubble optics was entirely done in software that he largely wrote.

He also said that the first deployment of US troops overseas in World War II were some Marines parachuted into the Battle of Stalingrad (the first shots at Stalingrad were fired one week after the landing at Guadalcanal), that Abraham Lincoln was a Marxist, that Winston Churchill had been in the Labour Party, and similar nonsense. I said that he used to get his facts by making them up.

[sheshe2]

13. Exactly.

Carly Fiorina responded with an OP ED.... moments after the announcement.

[Chemisse]

38. They don't care in the slightest.

It could have Iran kissing our national ass and the Republicans would hate it.

It's all about Obama for them.

7. thanks again sheshe

Kirk is unfortunately one of my Senators. I will call his office tomorrow and let him know how much I appreciate his stupidity.

[sheshe2]

14. Yikes!

I feel your pain, sorry you are stuck with the likes of Kirk, guillaumeb.

[guillaumeb]

15. more pain

With Rauner as the new Governor, and Kirk in the Senate, the only bright spot has been Aaron Schock's fall from grace, so to speak.
It is likely that the "selfie king" of the House will soon be talking to a special prosecutor with a reputation as a headhunter.

Thanks

9. I'll give Perry a thousand buck if he can name ONE "concession"

[Scurrilous]

11. Dear Governor Perry

Three things...

Firstly:

Oil falls on news of potential nuclear deal with Iran

http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/oil-falls-on-news-of-potential-nuclear-deal-with-iran-1.3019566


Secondly:

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

26. I think a fall in oil prices is actually bad for Texas.

Aren't they still an oil producing state? The lower oil goes, the less cost effective it is to pump more out.

[Scurrilous]

45. Exactly.

Governor Perry is mad because the deal with Iran and any subsequent drop in prices hurts his oil buddies and causes budget headaches for oil patch GOP pols.

But we can party.

[tavernier]

85. Governor Perry just recently

learned how to spell 'governor'.

[Beartracks]

88. It's cuz of his glasses. They make him smarter, dontcha know. n/t

[madville]

16. Iran is already accusing Kerry and Obama of lying about the details of any potential deal

I still think it's a long shot that an actual deal is reached by the July 1st deadline. Iran's lead negotiator said today after Obama's announcement that they will get to keep all their Uranium, produce more to sell on the international market, keep all their facilities, keep producing, keep their centrifuges, keep their reactors, and all sanctions will be lifted immediately. Sounds like this framework is still rather rickety.

I predict even if an agreement is reached by July 1st, it unravels within months or a year when Iran won;t allow full access to inspectors. We've seen this play out before with other countries. They're always hiding something.

[Vattel]

30. Maybe, but it depends on what the relevant leaders in Iran think is in their interest.

Do you have evidence that Iran is determined to build a nuclear weapon and/or is not negotiating in good faith?

[Renew Deal]

17. Our allies in France, Germany, and UK all support it

So do our adversaries in China and Russia

[napkinz]

18. The Party Of Treason

[sheshe2]

34. ^^^ This^^^

[napkinz]

19. Tehran Tom

[lovemydog]

20. Looks like a good deal for us, for our allies & for the world.

Thank goodness we have a strong diplomatic team with this Administration.

[napkinz]

21. ...

[lovemydog]

24. 'A historic understanding'

An outline agreement on the future shape of Iran's nuclear programme has been reached after marathon talks with six major powers in Switzerland. Under the deal, Iran will reduce its uranium enrichment capacity in exchange for phased sanctions relief.

US President Barack Obama said a "historic understanding" had been reached with Iran. The world powers and Iran now aim to draft a comprehensive nuclear accord by 30 June. The framework agreement was announced by the European Union and Iran after eight days of negotiations in Lausanne. The talks between the so-called P5+1 - the US, UK, France, China and Russia plus Germany - and Iran at Lausanne's Beau-Rivage Palace hotel continued beyond the original self-imposed deadline of 31 March.

[sheshe2]

36. Thanks lovemydog, it is indeed historic.

Epic! Good on this President, Kerry and his team to make this happen. To hell with the RW crazies as their collective heads explode.

[lovemydog]

44. Thanks for the thread sheshe2.

I care a helluva lot more about peace in the middle east and in the rest of the world than I do about right wing crazies.

[spanone]

25. they are shameless in their racial hatred. he negotiates peace and they lose their fucking minds.

[calimary]

31. HAH! Actually makes me wonder if God is on President Obama's side!

[spanone]

39. they have opposed him at every turn...even if it's good for the country...they. don't. care.

[Dawson Leery]

27. Tehran Tom is already pulling another temper tanrum on the air.

[napkinz]

28. what, no comment from Dick Cheney?

[AikenYankee]

43. There will be. nt

[cyberswede]

46. Wait till his x-lax kicks in. nt

[blackspade]

84. Exactly, since is always talking out of his ass.

[still_one]

40. I guess they have a problem understanding this deal IS in conjunction with our allies. It is

amazing how a political party puts the party before the country

[panader0]

48. This is the part that gets me.

There are six countries in this negotiation besides Iran. The US, the UK, Germany, France, China and Russia.
Apparently, the others have agreed to the framework too. This isn't Obama versus Iran. This is an international agreement.

[still_one]

49. yes

[DonCoquixote]

42. NOW you finally earned

that Nobel Mr. Obama, Good Job. I just hope whoever wins in 2016 does not try to pave over the garden you just planted.

[Stardust]

61. I thought the same thing: Nobel-Peace-Prize-worthy.

How do you define a nano-second...the amount of time it takes a Republican to equate an Obama accomplishment to the Holocaust.

[tclambert]

47. But, but, but . . . he didn't bomb anything.

How can a President call himself a patriotic American if doesn't drop any bombs? What will Dick Cheney think?

[sarge43]

50. Look everyone. POTUS made them set their hair on fire, again. nt

[FairWinds]

51. The militarists are terrified at the prospect . .

that peace might break out.

[gordianot]

53. What amazes me the Republicans seem to think only one party was involved.

They do not get it and have the least idea how the world works. They have depended on a gamed system, negative attacks, corrupt money for so long they do not realize the world can pass them by. Empires fall the only thing the American Republican Party does is promote a more hostile world. Even the Oligarchy will eventually tire of them. They are bad for buisness.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

54. Hey GOP

[sheshe2]

56. YMBL...

Ya made me laugh.

Thanks!

[ZX86]

57. In RWNJ world the President makes bad to horrific

decisions as a matter of policy. If Obama won't do it on his own they will try to goad him into it. If that fails they will just try to fuck it up on their own.

They desperately want a legacy as bad or worse than the Cheney/Bush administration. They crave that false equivalency, they're not getting it, and it's driving them insane.

[Volaris]

59. what you said. they know that historys judgment re: ShrubCo and Assoc. isn't gonna be pretty=)

[Major Hogwash]

58. Wait, whut, Obama got Iran to settle for peace, and the GOP went nutz about it?

That's a very odd reaction from those guys.
We all know how much they value peace!!

[sheshe2]

60. Well~

The have never been known for intelligence.

Mention the GOP to a Democrat and ya get~

I love it when I wake up in the morning and Barack Obama is President. It makes my day all the brighter that he has this power over them.

[2banon]

I'm more than just a little elated.

[blackspade]

83. It's like someone spilled a garbage can full of stupid

[Beartracks]

89. Perhaps Dems should have sent Iran a letter years ago, warning them...

... that any warmongering by President Bush could simply be ignored by a future President.

======================

[eridani]

90. Well--

[stillwaiting]

93. The WORLD rejoices when something happens to make the G.O.P. lose their shit.

Believe it.

[Bartlet]

95. Sen Kirk says

"Neville Chamberlain got a better deal from Adolf Hitler."

Actually he didn't, that's a lie. But you're a Republican so it's not surprising that you would lie.

"If only the secular Left put as much trust & faith in the people of Indiana as they do in the rulers in Iran. "

We are forcing intrusive inspections regimes in Iran, are you suggesting we need to do that to trust the politicians of Indiana? Why is going through life as a stupid vacuous hole a value for you Ingram?

Why is it that every time Rick Perry opens his mouth I smell sewage?

[roamer65]

97. Isn't former Guv Goodhair still under felony indictment? N/t

[AnnieBW]

99. It's not like the President made an illegal deal with Iran

To sell them weapons in exchange for our hostages. Now, that would really make the Republicans' heads explode.

[Scootaloo]

101. I didn't know they had any shit left to lose

I mean I know the term is "full of shit" but I figured that after twenty-three years, there would be a physical limit somewhere...

[libpride_15]

105. Obama should defy Congress, if necessary

Even if cowardly Democrats override a veto, Obama should proceed with the historic Iran deal.

The powers of the Presidency should not be abridged by a Congress whose only alternative would be War.

After June 30, UN sanctions should be relaxed regardless of Congress' meddling. They have no say in the matter.

Obama has actions permitted to temporarily waive sanctions as well.

The only way this is derailed, IMO, is if Iran gets the impression we aren't serious about sanctions relief.

US sanctions relief can come later, after Iran proves itself.

Even if the Supreme Court ruled it an impeachable offense to ignore a Congressional mandate, I say let them try to get it done in under two years.

Nixon didn't beg Congress to allow an opening to China, after all.

As John Lennon sang, "Give Peace a Chance".
