The Trump administration on Friday formally designated Iran as a state sponsor of wrongful detention, the latest move to ratchet up pressure and penalize Iran for its history of imprisoning US citizens.
Hahahahahahha. Hahahahaahha. Oooooohahahahaaa…
Oh wait, they’re serious?
Wrongful detention sounds familiar
Very familiar to 8k-20k Americans every year incarcerated for simple possession of marijuana
And ofc to the 190k who are arrested and detained – but fortunately not incarcerated.

How can SO MUCH IRONY be lost on them?
I used to think it was a lack of self-awareness, but it has become clear that they simply don’t care if they are known to be inconsistent, dishonest, and cruel. There have yet to be any negative consequences for it. Their base doesn’t seem to care about anything but “winning”. The definition of “winning” changes from day-to-day, but that’s okay because very little of this is about issues. It is simply about the competition itself.
All you have to do to understand how this came to be is look at the sheer numbers of people who tie their identity to sports teams. They’ve never met those people on “their” team yet they are rabid. Frothing at the mouth.

Every accusation is an admission.
Sounds like envy to me.
That’s laughable coming from him.
Might want to examine the proportion of US residents currently incarcerated, jackass.
Talking points specifically tailored to piss off as many people as possible.
Bahahaha

Is this an instance thing? I can load photos directly, but no giphy etc…
I don’t know. I never managed to make picture uploads to lemmy work myself, so I rolled my own image host a while back and I embed images from there with:

…Just remove all of the spaces in that code, and you can embed gifs and images just fine.
Every country is a hypocrite. Fuck all of them
