#1 Trump calls Biden 'dumb as a rock' and Republicans accuse him of 'funding terrorism' and 'embarrassing appeasement' over $6billion prisoner swap allowing two Iranians to stay in the U.S.

#2 We pay hostage for five dumb Iranians (sorry, Iranian-Americans) who think they can return to their country and roam free? Given the stupidity of this affair, the captives freed must have been CIA agents.

#7 Mohammad Reza Farzin, Iran’s Central Bank chief, acknowledged the receipt of over 5.5 billion euros, $5.9 billion.

That's only $1.18B per head.

BTW: Every taxpayer that paid taxes
(65,907,875 of the 164,358,792 that filed) contributed around $89.51 to help pay the $5.9B.
That equal to 1.5 to 2 Gas Tanks of Gas.

#8 That equal to 1.5 to 2 Gas Tanks of Gas.
