and reminded them that the whole thing was announced in January so why is it a thing now? The money was in cash because we don't have banking relationships with Iran bc of the sanctions.

They are such idiots.

They did not remember Michelle Obama's speech and their lazy asses would never check

and now they didn't even remember that all the facts were given to them in January when Iran poutrage was that season't menu. Their brains and capacity to think are as tiny as Don the Con's hands.

Why do you think Obama is "tearing them a new one" in sensible people?

See what Obama is doing here is giving sensible people an update on everything - he's tearing them a new one.

Huh?

Your post only refers to "sensible people". You don't name or identify any other group. Then you talk about "ripping them a new one". So the only antecedent in the writing is the "sensible people".

Possibly when you wrote "them" you might have meant to write "Republicans" or "Tea Party members" or "Trump supporters" or "knuckle-draggers" or "orchid breeders" or "media talking heads", but we can't be sure from the way it is written. We can only speculate.

I was pretending to play a straight man as if you were pulling my leg and I handed it to you, in an effort to gently get you to think about what you had written and how you had written it. I bolded and italicized the antecedent and the referrent. However, I was ineffective.

Perhaps you were in a hurry.
