I’m not here to write about the shit-show in the Middle East. that’s above my pay grade — if people much smarter than I haven’t been able to solve it, I’m sure as hell not going to be able to do it in a post. but I am going to try to make some sense out of some bullshit that’s been happening over the weekend.

now, I hope you’re sitting down because I’m going to tell you something that’s going to shock you to your very core: Republicans are lying their fucking faces off about what’s going on.

first the truth, then the lie. in August, the US and Iran made a deal: Iran would free five Americans and in return, the US would un-freeze $6 billion in Iranian oil revenue.

....

now here’s the Republican lie: “Joe Biden gave 6 billion taxpayer dollars to Iran and they gave it to Hamas and Hamas used it to attack Israel and it’s all Joe Biden’s fault.”
