TY, Mr. McKown. Mr. J. A is an extremely annoying troll, constantly spouting rightwing talking points, challenging others to "prove me wrong" and just just generally being a nuisance.

Answering your bloviations are a waste of time. Go read a book or a newspaper.

You can't answer because they are TRUE.

You couldn't cite a SINGLE example. Not one.

Just proof that leftism is a facade. Its an intellectual face plant.

I cited the articles - NY Times on the 23 lawmakers who opposed Obama Iran Deal

I cited the Bloomberg energy exporter article from 2018 under Trump.

Its exhausting embarrassing you. Why don't leftist do their homework?

Why? Because they are so wrapped up in their self righteousness and virtue signaling

facts don't matter.

Obama's deal with Iran made complete sense.

The US created a huge mess with Iran when we, the US and Britain inappropriately overthrew the duly democratically elected leader of Iran and put in the bloodthirsty Shah and supported him.

To say this angered the Iranian people would be an understatement. Then, they suffered under him until Carter took him in when he was dying, another mistake.

At any rate, Obama's deal with Iran made formal recognition of the past wrongs and returned money that belonged to Iran.

What? Facts don't matter to you James? Cannot handle the truth can you.

Aye, another one bites the dust.

You are a fool. Just like a good little leftist. Lets censor anything our snowflake ears can't handle. Substack was created because Bari Weiss hated censorship.

You signed up for contractual Terms Of Use.TOU

James A is in breach of those contract terms as a Reader.

Dispute my claim at JAMS SF. The JAMS Rules are widely available. JAMS has a mediator that has tried a Digital liability case before a SF Jury. Do you agree To Appear At JAMS SF? Noting you are also contractually bound as a defined Substack "Author. Read the TOU.".

Who made you the censorship czar? This is Heather's site not yours.

Can't handle free speech? Of course. Free speech is not a left wing value.

Censorship is.

Are you going to tell my mother?

Free Speech never means 'Anything Goes.' Even The First Amendment, which protects us from government suppression of speech, allows government to put some limitations on speech.

This is a private forum. There are many opinions from many perspectives. People often challenge other people to provide evidence for their assertions. It is a learning community.

But from what I have seen of your comments, you contribute nothing but spleen. Hostility without analysis or evidence. And offensive as such.

James A.

What does the A stand for by the way?

I have a hypothesis, but, just wondering if you can validate it.

:-) LOL

Substack was founded in 2017 by Chris Best, the co-founder of Kik Messenger; Jairaj Sethi, a head of platform and principal developer at Kik Messenger; and Hamish McKenzie, a former PandoDaily tech reporter.[9][10] Best and McKenzie describe Ben Thompson's Stratechery, a subscription-based tech and media newsletter, as a major inspiration for their platform.[5] Christopher Best operates as chief executive as of March 2019.[11]
