andrea mitchell just said Kerry & Co. are 'having a hard time defending the Iran deal'

what she didn't tell you was that the republicans are asking questions and NOT letting them answer.

fucking grandstanding at it's best. then she has a republican member of the committee on to lie without rebuttal.

this is a joke.

the deal isn't a joke, but this fucking congress is.

end of rant.

If someone is a MSNBC employee, it means you are paid by Comcast. And they are not paying them to tell the truth.

I don't know who disgusts me more - Andrea Mitchell or her husband!

She's long been a pro-Zionist hack.

What Mrs. Greenspan fails to mention, in fact all of them fail to mention this, is that President Obama gave them this deal to look over, but with or without Congress he can sign the deal because it's not a Treaty.

The last thing in the world you need after getting, what, six or seven other countries on board with you, is to have that parliament of whores get ANYWHERE close to it...

More to the point might be how she leaned toward how defensible the deal is.

It sure didn't take them any time to criticize it...actually, they started criticizing it way before it was a done deal. I hear criticisms, but I don't hear details. WHAT are they criticizing and what page is that written on?

That question goes for both sides of the aisle. I don't think a lot of Democrats ever know what's in a bill before they vote, as well. That has to be how a lot of Republican idiotic additions make it to the floor.

Do aides read the bills? Someone surely does.

Congress has become a joke. They don't come close to earning their salaries and certainly not their retirement package. I have lost what respect I had.

I haven't heard a word from Grassley in the last few years. I used to get a letter recapping his "achievements" over a certain period of time. Looks to me like he's sliding into retirement with his feet on his desk

Maybe he figured out I'm a Democrat.
