Irresponsible unAmerican Republican congressman and the Iran deal

I don't recall congressman from previous generations all turning into frothing-at-the-mouth knee-jerk dumbasses when other presidents completed arms control deals.

This deal with Iran plants a small seedling with great potential gain.. Stopping nuclear weapons proliferation and potentially opening up a sliver of hope that might start to normalize relations, and by extension, twenty years down the road, helping to normalize Iran itself. If it's not planted now, Iran only becomes more entrenched.

Having reservations or thoughtful discussion, fine; but turning this into a political fight is so asinine and unAmerican. Some of these congressman are such uninformed simpletons that they shouldn't even be entitled to a public opinion. They should come with warning labels on their foreheads: "Warning: Incapable of Complex Thought".

Or just like their climate change position, "Warning: I don't care about the future."
