“It’s hard to find the IRS to be an agency we can trust,” said Judge David B. Sentelle.
The lawyer for the IRS at one point acknowledged there were still “
otential problems” with the way the agency monitors cases going forward, but insisted the initial targeting at the point groups apply for nonprofit status has ended.

People should be in prison, yet they draw taxpayer-paid salaries and pensions.

I read the article and it is a mess. Rhodes comes off as an arrogant ahole and the line that he is invisible makes no sense as he is quoted all the time. The writer seemed way too close with Rhodes and is chumming it up the whole time.
The argument that he "sold" the Iran deal using Jeffrey Goldberg and Laura Rozen is laughable. Goldberg is hardly a fan of the Iran deal and is often critical of the President. I have worked with Rozen some years ago and she is by no means a parrot of the administration. She was just reporting for the various meetings.
The whole article did not do anything nice for the administration and made Rhodes look like a jerk.
But, on Iran, to those experts who have been following the dealings since the Bush years, the story seemed way off base.

U.S. Supreme Court trumps International Court.
Meh again. Soldiers were returned safely, and finally the deal is signed and agreed. So what if the talks started earlier? A lot of things happen in secret and out of the limelight, see Kissinger to China.QuakerOats;1795371 wrote:http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/05/10/state-dept-faces-questions-over-missing-tape-amid-scramble-over-wh-aides-iran-boast.html

I don't think QO was saying the IC trumps the SCOTUS, I think he was saying that Obama may just pay the money anyway to not "ruin" the deal.ptown_trojans_1;1795372 wrote:Meh, like the Jackson quote, if the international court rules against the U.S., let them try and enforce it.

Nothing says he will yet. The sanctions haven't been fully lifted yet. So, doubt the money will get to them. I'll agree that is something to watch.
I don't get the lies part.That's the part of the article that didn't make any sense and people are contesting. For those you have followed the talks over the years, there was no manipulation or lies.

I don't know if this is political or not, I guess it is, but how the fuck does Medicaid cover transgender drugs? Poor people shouldn't get free medication for anything unless they need it to stay alive. Our government is a complete joke.

obama Dept of Education now thrusting their executive weight around on every school district in the country to go full transgender ....bathrooms, sports etc.......
We have $19 trillion in debt, terrorists pouring in, 94 million people without a job, no economic growth, and a massive heroin epidemic, and all these jackasses care about is appeasing LGBT and thrusting their power into everyones private lives. Somebody please stop the insanity!

Maybe Republicans can stop suppressing the human rights of people so we can work towards addressing real issues. The door swings both ways and Republicans continue to be on the wrong side of history.QuakerOats;1795685 wrote:obama Dept of Education now thrusting their executive weight around on every school district in the country to go full transgender ....bathrooms, sports etc.......

He is either trolling, became full on retard, or is transgender itself. The fact this country is even discussing .000001% of the population is a joke. It gets the left base riled up to not care about actual issues like jobs, the economy, Hillary being sketch as hell, etc.

LOL at citing title ix. Not even close to the original purpose of title ix. You can add this to the list of reasons on why I hate title ix.
I can't wait until a male student tries to participate on a girls athletic team. We will see the hypocrisy unfold when little billy is dusting every girl in the 400m. Lulz will ensue.

The left can point to ZERO as far as accomplishments go; all they can do it continue to divide, divide, divide by FORCING their radical agenda onto THE PEOPLE by executive fiat.

Just to clear up, are you talking about the people who are screaming about gender identity screaming about fairness to the "real" girls if/when this happens?
