Oh no, you're thinking of Iran-Contra, the other treasonous act that Reagan committed involving Iran. OP is talking about the rumored deal Reagan made with Iran wherein Iran would not release the American hostages until after the 1980 election. Coincidentally, the hostages were released on January 20th, 1981, the day Reagan was sworn in.

Sidenote, has anyone seen the Netflix documentary about the octopus murders? I think the proof that Reagan made that deal is at the heart of that conspiracy.

Edit: I've just come across this in another thread. It seems the hostage deal between Reagan and Iran did, in fact, happen. https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a43368900/reagan-iran-hostages/

You may be absolutely correct, but we know for a fact that he won't be held accountable if he does win.

~~Do you have a source for this? Is this an actual plan they've talked about or is it just a possibility?~~

Nvm, just saw the comment with the article

I understand where you are coming from, but there is no reason to defend a twice impeached, 34 time felon, treasonous rapist. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Xi, Kim, and Pol Pot don't deserve a devil's advocate argument, and neither does Donald Trump. There is no grey area. Trump and his lackeys are the greatest threat to American democracy and world stability, and playing devil's advocate validates them just enough to turn someone apathetic at best and into a Trump voter at worst.

It is the least complicated thing on earth. If you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. It is a scientific law and while I'm no doctor, I'm certain that 99.9% of the population is beholden to it.
