    Cool, thanks.  I think I'll watch for the stamps though.  This is not a reminder I want on my wall all the time.

    27 oil companies made $124B in profits. That’s BILLION with a B. CNN chyron “Surging gas prices create record profits for oil companies.”

    That didn’t take long.

    Separately, a U.S. State Department spokesperson called it an "outrageous attack" but said no Americans were hurt and there was no damage to U.S. government facilities in Erbil.

    Obama Didn’t Give Iran ‘150 Billion in Cash’

    First of all, former President Barack Obama didn’t give “150 billion in cash” to Iran.

    The nuclear agreement included China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union, so Obama didn’t carry out any part of it on his own. The deal did lift some sanctions, which lifted a freeze on Iran’s assets that were held largely in foreign, not U.S., banks. And, to be clear, the money that was unfrozen belonged to Iran. It had only been made inaccessible by sanctions aimed at crippling the country’s nuclear program.

    Secondly, $150 billion is a high-end estimate of the total that was freed up after some sanctions were lifted. U.S. Treasury Department estimates put the number at about $50 billion in “usable liquid assets,” according to 2015 testimony from Adam Szubin, acting under secretary of treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence.

    And let’s not forget Trump immediately exited the deal, so that means Iran received their freed assets without any nuclear commitments.  That’s 4d chess by Trump right there.

    How about reading about what actually happened. Go ahead and post a link to something that said any missile hit a US facility, let alone six.  Do you just like to traffic in lies? Does it feel good to not know the difference between truth and lies?

    Ok I see you get your news from Drudge which linked to an early report where Iraqi officials claimed it hit a US base. This is inaccurate and the Iraqis have walked that back and the US has stated it did not hit our base or consulate.  It was several miles from the strike.  No damage or casualties and Iran said Israeli operations were the target. 

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/missiles-target-us-consulate-in-north-iraq-no-casualties/2022/03/12/6a64c7fc-a263-11ec-9438-255709b6cddc_story.html

    An Iraqi official in Baghdad initially said several missiles had hit the U.S. consulate in Irbil, the intended target of the attack. Later, Lawk Ghafari, the head of Kurdistan’s foreign media office, said none of the missiles had struck the U.S. facility but that residential areas around the compound had been hit.

    Ok I see you get your news from Drudge which linked to an early report where Iraqi officials claimed it hit a US base. This is inaccurate and the Iraqis have walked that back and the US has stated it did not hit our base or consulate.  It was several miles from the strike.  No damage or casualties and Iran said Israeli operations were the target.

    An Iraqi official in Baghdad initially said several missiles had hit the U.S. consulate in Irbil, the intended target of the attack. Later, Lawk Ghafari, the head of Kurdistan’s foreign media office, said none of the missiles had struck the U.S. facility but that residential areas around the compound had been hit.
    new and unoccupied..... and still not hit.

    How about one of the other separate threads (or a new one) on Iraq, ignore our two pseudo-right wing comedians, and get back to talking about Ukraine.  Let's not get sucked into the other nonsense.

    Brent Renaud, an American Journalist, Is Killed in Ukraine (msn.com)

    Brent Renaud, an award-winning American filmmaker and journalist, was killed in Ukraine on Sunday while reporting in a suburb of the capital, Kyiv, according to Ukraine’s Interior Ministry.

    Mr. Renaud, 50, had worked for a number of American news and media organizations in the past, including HBO, NBC and The New York Times. The Ukrainian authorities said he was killed in Irpin, a suburb that has been the site of intense shelling by Russian forces in recent days, but the details of his death were not immediately clear. Ukrainian officials said another journalist was wounded as well.

    At the time of his death Mr. Renaud was on assignment for Time Studios working on a “project focused on the global refugee crisis,” according to a statement from Time executives.

    Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister, said in a statement that Mr. Renaud “paid with his life for attempting to expose the insidiousness, cruelty and ruthlessness of the aggressor.”

    Mr. Renaud had contributed to The Times in previous years, most recently in 2015, but he was not on assignment for the company in Ukraine. Early reports that he was working for The Times in Ukraine circulated because he was found with a Times press badge that had been issued for an assignment years ago.

    “We are deeply saddened to hear of Brent Renaud’s death,” said Danielle Rhoades Ha, a spokeswoman for The Times. “Brent was a talented filmmaker.”

    Mr. Renaud often worked with his brother, Craig Renaud, and won a Peabody award for a Vice News documentary about a school in Chicago. The two have worked on film and television projects from conflict zones and hot spots around the world.

    Over the past decade, the brothers had covered the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the earthquake in Haiti, cartel violence in Mexico and youth refugees in Central America, according to their website.

    Mr. Renaud was a fellow at the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University from 2018 to 2019. Ann Marie Lipinski, curator of the Nieman Foundation, posted on Twitter on Sunday that Mr. Renaud “was gifted and kind, and his work was infused with humanity.” Lamenting his death, she said that “the world and journalism are lesser for it.”

    Mr. Renaud’s reporting partner who was shot, Juan Arredondo, was also a Nieman fellow in the 2019 class. A video posted on the Okhmatdyt hospital’s Instagram page showed Mr. Arredondo describing the shooting from a hospital bed. He said they were shot in a car after they passed a checkpoint while going to film civilians fleeing the fighting.

    Interesting take…you know you struck a nerve when the troll word comes out.  How dare you put down the shit for brains President or Obummer in this all accepting forum.     Shame Shame Shame!!!
    How about reading about what actually happened. Go ahead and post a link to something that said any missile hit a US facility, let alone six.  Do you just like to traffic in lies? Does it feel good to not know the difference between truth and lies?
    The QtRUmplicans clearly don't know the difference. 
    Just look at the last 6+ years of believing the thousands of lies that spewed from God's orange gift. And that continue to spew from him.
    Now add all the conspiracy theories they believe that come from some dude in his basement.

    I've heard it referred to as a post-truth era, where 'feelings have more weight than facts'. For many individuals who embody this description, I'm not sure that 'is it true' is even an internal question - so much easier to start feeling, stop thinking, keep sharing.
