In the midst of the outrage towards Hamas over the massacre of Israelis/international visitors, ignorant and dishonest Republicans have tried to place blame on Biden claiming the $6 billion in unfrozen Iranian money was used to fund Hamas' attack. This, of course, is a lie and even Fox News had to step in a set the record. You know the lies have gotten bad when they need to fact check the GOP. The reality is not a penny of that $6 billion has been spent yet.

Iranians have not seen the $6B of unfrozen money yet​

FOX News’ Jennifer Griffin tells ‘FOX News Live’ that linking Biden’s Iranian deal, where the U.S. unfroze $6 billion, to the attacks on Israel Saturday is ‘incorrect’ and ‘misleading.’

Of course, the conservatives here and elsewhere don't care about the facts. They only care about narrative.

President Joe Biden unfroze $6 billion in funds to Iran, and now Hamas is going on a killing spree, murdering men, women, and children in Israel and parading dead bodies around.

The amount of destruction caused by this administration is devastating.

In the case of Biden what we have was foreseeable. I blame you and those who still support him along with the media that props him up.
Pallets full of cash as VP. 6 billion to help celebrate 9-11 as president.

If Iran waited to negotiate for that money AFTER they attacked Israel then they're never getting that money. When Biden sealed the deal he also started a chain of events.

Calling people out. More to come.

If you really care about the reality...and not the narrative...you should read this article: https://theconservativetreehouse.co...e-location-of-the-6-billion-returned-to-iran/

The reality is that the $6 billion doesn't need to be spent by Iran for them to be able to make use of that money.

He paid off Iran and this is the consequences. An idiot who purposefully goes out of his way to screw things up, couldn't of done it any better than the current administration.

Hell, who knows, this might be the kind of things they want.......turmoil, wars, unrest, lawlessness, and insanity. Sure seems to be their m/o.

redbeer said:
And your proof of that?.....Iran has already said they will spend the money as "they see fit".

redbeer said:
It's exactly like that.....100%. "Going to be spent on the humanitarian needs of the Iranian people".....only narrative lusting cultists believe such nonsense.

Do you ever use common sense to figure what may well have happened? We give Iran 6 Billion, Iran is the largest supporter of terrorism. Just weeks after Iran gets billions Hamas an anti Israel terror group attacks Israel. It rains, the creek rises, might have been because of the rain.

Sounds like a personal problem. I don't care if you read the article or not.

You are welcome to believe the narrative.

The reality is Iran would have helped Hamas just as it always does no matter the situation with the $6 billion. To claim $6 billion made the difference whether to support or not support is absolutely ridiculous.

I haven't made that claim.

I've only disputed the narrative that Iran hasn't spent the $6 billion yet.

From your OP...

"The reality is not a penny of that $6 billion has been spent yet."​

The reality is, they don't HAVE to spend the $6 billion to make use of the money.

A lot of people do it.

If you have money in a bank, you can easily get a line of credit with that money as collateral.

That's essentially what Iran is doing with the $6 billion.

But as you saw with the quotes I posted, many of your conservative allies have.

If they can spend the money without having the money then that destroys the conservative narrative that Biden is responsible for 'financing' the attack.

Iran doesn't need the $6 billion to fund Hamas. Get real.

Lol, projection.

I may vote Democrat but I do not consider myself a Democrat. I am a left-libertarian and if we had a multi-party system I'd quickly switch to a party that better fit my world view.

Loans have to be repaid. They can't repay the loan from the $6 billion. It's worthless as collateral. Conservative propaganda house has you confused.

Iran has a GDP of about $350 billion per year. Conservative monkey house has you very confused.

Yep 350 billion per year, but they had to wait until they got the 6 billion unfrozen before they could do anything bad. Right wingers truly are the dumbest of ****s these days aren’t they?

Democrats and republicans are against a multi party system.

Democrats more so. They are fighting to keep the No-Party off the ballot in the 2024 election.

I am well aware of that. But voting third party is essentially a vote for the worse candidate. I am a pragmatist and utilitarian.
