My eyes almost rolled all the way out of my head reading this article. The dude is from IRAN, and this blindsided them.

To be clear, it sounds like this dude is a loving family man and member of the community, and he did not deserve this. And even if he was a scumbag, we don't use secret police to deal with scumbags.

But sometimes it hurts to have the depth of some people's oblivious ignorance revealed so starkly. Some other comments have already pointed out the stupid "golly I think there might be bad people on the left AND the right!" conclusion at the end of the article. But here's another gem from in the middle:

“My husband himself, even being from Iran, supported Trump, his immigration policies, and understood he was trying to protect the American people and was praying he helped free the Iranian people,” Gardner told Newsweek.

These people look at an elderly hateful narcissist of a grifter and parasite, and hear his messages of hate and division and exclusion, and apparently the image formed in their dusty brains is Captain Fucking Planet!

*Illegal immigrant husband

DHS said Karimi entered the U.S. legally in October 2024 under a K-1 marriage visa reserved for people engaged to American citizens. However, he never adjusted his status, which is a legal requirement, and not doing so can trigger a removal order.

I have less sympathy for non-voters than I do Republican voters.

“We have been saying we are getting the worst of the worst out—and we are. We don’t wait until a military operation to execute; we proactively deliver on President Trump’s mandate to secure the homeland,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.

These people are so evil. Hopefully someday they all get their just desserts from a Nuremberg-style trial.

At this point, I believe there are bad people on the left and the right,” Gardner said.

She doesn't seem like the best catch.

“He brought happiness back to me, and taught me what it is like to be loved correctly,” Gardner wrote on the site. “He encouraged me, and still encourages me each and every day. He sees the best in me, and never has given up, despite how difficult I can be sometimes.”

I’m sure every Trump supporting man tells their woman she’s so difficult for simply wanting to be treated reasonably or speaking

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

Sounds like the type of woman whose whole existence and personality is "So-and-so's wife". Aka typical Republican woman.

He may not know it yet, but ICE may have saved him. From her. He voted for Rrump so it's going to take some heavy deprogramming to get him to realize he is the target and that he voted to pull the trigger.

If you can't handle me at my worst, I'll call ICE on you.

“My heart is broken,” Gardner told the outlet. “Our baby shower is going to be next weekend, and he’s not going to be at home to go to that with me.”

Oh, don't you worry about that, ICE will show up and detain that baby.

I'm not sure you know what a baby shower is...

I heard they got the protip from the Commander in Chief himself. You just grab 'em by the pussy and that baby ain't goin' nowhere!

“Everyone feels like a fool and regrets the decision. I personally didn’t vote in the last election, and neither did my parents. At this point, I believe there are bad people on the left and the right,” Gardner said.

Jesus fucking Christ still a fucking centrist shitting on the "left" even as the State kidnapped your fucking husband.

Despite this, Free Ribvar Karimi and free all people kidnapped by ICE. He sucks but he doesn't deserve this—because no one deserves this!

No need to blame her on this. She doesn’t want to burn the bridge, what if someone can get him out.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

She doesn’t want to burn the bridge, what if someone can get him out.

Yeah so she shouldn't be burning bridges with the left. Right? Because the right isn't gonna help her.

No need to blame her on this.

I didn't? The US government is 100% responsible for kidnapping her husband, and the capitalists are 1000% responsible for putting the US government on this trajectory. But I'm allowed to express my frustration at her rhetoric.

Bitch, Obama didn't kidnap your husband. AOC didn't kidnap your husband. Bernie didn't kidnap your husband. Mamdani didn't kidnap your husband. Trump did.

Americans are the most brainwashed people on the planet. The right wing state can literally disappear your family and you still shit talk the left.

I really wanna say you’re wrong and I really can’t. All I can ask is that you please not lump us all together into one homogeneous group. There are quite a few of us who are actually sane.

Reminder that Fox News was created in the wake of Watergate specifically because media coverage of the scandal went from non-existent to shifting public opinion against it in weeks. It was created to be a dedicated Republican party propaganda platform to prevent that from ever happening again.

Nixon aides wanted a pro-administration network, and some of them were eventually instrumental in getting Fox News going, but it took over 20 years between Watergate and the launch of FNC.
