Yes this is how bad it can get when the POTUS only listens to Fox News instead of, oh, any of his advisors etc...

Fox ran with a BS story that was very thinly based on an Iranian news agency which relied on an Iranian newspaper who relied on one Iranian clerics word.

Of course that's enough for cheeto jesus to get on the twitter. No clarifying. No reaching out to his own advisors. Just hop on the conspiracy bandwagon and run with it to the faithful.

The unsubstantiated claim first gained attention with a Monday story on Fox News' website that relied on the word of an Iranian cleric who is also a member of the country's parliament.

The article, written by Chris Irvine, a Fox News senior editor, cited an Iranian news agency that cited an Iranian newspaper that quoted the single Iranian cleric, who said the Obama administration provided citizenship to 2,500 unidentified Iranians during nuclear deal negotiations.

The article itself quoted, toward the end of the story, the network's own commentator, former Obama State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf, saying, "This sounds like totally made up BS." The story said the Department of Homeland Security and State Department declined to comment, and that a representative for former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson could not be reached.

The man controls some of the most capable intelligence agencies in the world and the organization that negotiated the actual agreement and he can't be bothered to verify a simple story before attacking the black man.

Who says Trump isn't a willfully ignorant racist piece of shit?

I am no longer amused by his sycophants (including the Press Secretary) trying to tap dance around his bullshit. Its just the same thing over and over, every day for the last two years. Tired of it.

I agree, I've turned a bit of a corner recently. There is absolutely no benefit of the doubt anymore. Fuck these assholes. It honestly dampens my 4th, and traditionally, I love the 4th.

There is a short list in this forum. We all know who they are.

What else would you expect from radicalized Teahadis? They prefer the words of Iranian clerics to the "Jewish" press. Wow, the right-wing has gone all-in on radical Islam since 9/11. Sad.

That’s the whole idea. The hopelessly exhausted are easily controlled. Too fed up to do anything. Have you tried drugs?

Roughly 40% of the American population either says it or doesn't care. <shrug>
