Still Believe the Devil You Know is Better Than the Devil You Don’t? (Video)
The following question is intended for anyone who is bitterly clinging to the “never trump” motto, or who is considering literally pulling the lever for Hillary Clinton in November. If you fit into that category, take a long look at the first video shown below of Josh “Not So” Earnest in the White House Press Room wasting eight minutes of deliberation with typical liberal doublespeak that borders on delusional.
Ever since President Barack Obama and other U.S. officials said the payment to Iran didn’t amount to ransom, because the cold hard cash that was flown in on wooden pallets under the cover of night, was only a payment that the U.S. owed to Iran as part of a longstanding dispute, look-ups online for the word “ransom” have skyrocketed. Gee, I wonder why. Let me help:
MERRIAM WEBSTER DEFINES RANSOM: money that is paid in order to free someone who has been captured or kidnapped
The $400 million sent to Iran on wooden pallets under the cover of night, was not sent before the hostages were freed. It was not sent weeks after, or even days after. It was not sent using Swiss Bank accounts, or using any other conventional means used to transfer money between nation states. The money was delivered in cash, on crates, in the middle of the night (presumably hoping no one would see), and contingent upon Iran’s captives being released first.
Should we ask a room full of 3rd graders if it was a ransom to settle this once and for all, and Josh “Not So” Earnest can get back to lying about other subjects?

You know what? It doesn’t even matter if a room full of 3rd graders know their vocabulary well enough to settle this asinine dispute. What matters is EXACTLY what anyone with an IQ larger than their shoe size warned would happen when rumors began swirling around a ransom that was paid for Bergdahl (in addition to the Gitmo Terrorist All-Star Team), and another paid for (with apology from John “Rambo” Kerry I might add) to release our captured U.S. sailors:… If you pay ransom: Iran will take the ransom money, and then take more hostages. DUH!
Irrespective of your personal feelings about Donald Trump, his “conservative credentials” (or lack there of), his issues with Twitter, or anything else, is what you see in the video above REALLY what you think America needs more of? More lies? More dishonesty? These fools are so arrogant they’re bold-faced lying despite being caught red-handed, and ON FILM!
It’s a given that no one knows what we’ll REALLY get with a President Donald Trump, because he’s never held office, but we KNOW exactly what we get with Hillary Clinton. The first Clinton Presidency gave us wonders like:
I did not have sexual relations with that woman. Oh, by sexual relations you meant putting that there? Oh. Well, I did not have sexual relations with that woman in the White House. Oh, by White House you meant including the Oval Office. Ok, well, I did not have sexual relations with that woman right out in the open in the Oval Office of the White House. Oh, under the desk still counts too huh? Damn.
I know, I know… it’s not fair to blame Hillary for Bill’s lies. How about some of these then. Hillary owns each and every one of them…

To make matters even WORSE (yes, it can get WAY worse), we’re lucky enough to still have a “free enough” press that we can still learn about Clinton lies, corruption, and crimes like this. Just as best-selling author James Wesley Rawles predicted on August 1st in a post from website SurvivalBlog.com, Hillary is already vowing to shut down dissenting Internet websites if she wins the Presidency in November.
Washington Free Beacon Writes:
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest spent over 8 minutes dodging questions Monday on whether the $400 million that the Obama administration airlifted to Iran, which was contingent on Tehran releasing American hostages, was “ransom” or “leverage.”
“Earlier you kind of suggested that we weren’t asking precise enough questions seven months ago on Iran and that’s why some of the lack of clarity,” a reporter said during the White House daily press briefing. “For the sake of clarity, could you describe for me and for the record the White House’s understanding and the delineation between leverage and ransom?”
Earnest never addressed the difference between leverage and ransom, instead discussing for about two minutes how the press could do a better job focusing on details that he highlighted, so that people could better appraise the benefits of the diplomatic negotiations.
“I’ll concede it was all very complex, but my simple question is: what’s the difference between a ransom and leverage?” the reporter asked again.
Earnest responded by talking about the three different negotiations that the United States had with Iran simultaneously and how the American detainees were released in exchange for Iranian prisoners in the U.S.
“The timing of the $400 million was the leverage,” the reporter said.
Earnest said the $400 million payment was a separate settlement from the prisoner swap.
“Where does the timing in the leverage come in? The State Department has used the word ‘leverage.’ The president has used the word ‘ransom,’ and I’m just trying to square them,” the reporter said.
Earnest continued to dodge the reporter’s question about the difference between leverage and ransom by talking about how the U.S. expected the Iranians to be able navigate the complexities of the negotiations.
“Let me ask another simple question. Is there a difference between a ransom and a leverage?” the reporter asked.
Earnest responded that he quibbled with the question, but the reporter interjected and criticized Earnest’s attempts to dodge his question.
“We’ve been sort of dinged for not asking precise questions, and we’re trying to ask them and then we don’t get direct answers,” the reporter said. “The president said no ransoms. The State Department has said leverage was paid, so how do we bring those two together? If there is no distinction, there is no distinction. But we are giving you a chance right now to say if there a distinction right between ransom and leverage, and you are quibbling with the question, which seems like a pretty basic question.”
Earnest apologized to the reporter and said that he was not trying to ding the press corp. He then addressed the definition of “ransom,” which he does not believe occurred in the money payment to the Iranian regime
“The notion of a ransom is often perceived as paying money in exchange for the release of unjustly detained individuals. That’s not what occurred here,” Earnest said. “What occurred here was a mutual prisoner release. Iran released four American citizens who were being unjustly detained in Iran and we brought them home. The United States released seven individuals who had been convicted of crimes who were being held here in the United States.”
A reporter then asked Earnest to define “leverage” since he just talked about ransom. Earnest responded by saying that he did not use the term. The reporter then asked Earnest if he was “proud” that leverage was used to describe the agreement since Earnest had previously said he was proud of the deal.
Earnest continued to disavow the term “leverage” throughout the remainder of the exchange and said that he was proud of the agreement because four unjustly detained American citizens were brought home safely.
State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters last week that the money given to Iran was used as “leverage” to ensure that the plane carrying the U.S. prisoners could leave Iran to come back to the United States.
BE READY FOR CORRUTPTION LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN…
HECK… LIKE YOU’VE NEVER IMAGINED…

His only job is to josh us all, in earnest.
Then there is the problem that the Iranian gov’t said it was RANSOM money
#Trump2016
There is no political fix. If you think there is, you have fallen for the NWO deception. All roads lead to a one world government. The quicker we realize it, the quicker we can fix it.
Obviously Hillary shouldn’t be president and anyone who votes for her (despite voting being useless) is insane, ignorant, stupid, or all of the above. But don’t put your faith in Trump either because he could be Obama 2.0. He said he was going to “fix” America too.
None of them will ever fix anything. We just keep circling the toilet bowl. I don’t trust either of them but Trump at least makes me think there is a very, very slight possibility that something good might come from his election. Hillary on the other hand will just make things worse without a doubt. Either way, I think they both work for TPTB. So much for choices, eh? I usually just vote for a third party candidate on the constitutionalist party that I’ve never heard of. It’s my way of checking the “None of the Above” box, if you catch my drift. Of course the third party candidate won’t win, and the voting is rigged anyway. I think I’ll just not vote this time around.
