“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!

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.

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.

It worked too well.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 37 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Yeah, I think they mean Whitewater, the fake scandal fishing expedition that led to the Lewinsky thing..

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.

[–] Enoril@jlai.lu 22 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

We know that.

But that didn't stop ALL the german being called nazi after WWII and all being appalled by their (in)action and the pain their nation did to others.

I had a German colleague apologizing to me for his ancestors actions (who killed some family members at my grandparents generation). None of us were born when that happened but he wanted to say it as he was ashamed by his grandparents (in)actions. I was sad for him because he didn't do anything wrong but he was taking the weight of his nation history personally.

Do you want to do that or - more probably - do you want your children to do that later? They will ask for forgiveness to the descendants of the people impacted today saying: "I'm sorry that my parents didn't do anything to stop that"

Because your ICE gestapo-like state organization is doing appalling actions TODAY in plain sight. And you - as Americans - will be remembered as people who lets this happen.

Yep. That already happened. So we know.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago

We know that. I’ve been apologizing constantly on Lemmy. I guess I was thinking more on an individual basis 🤷‍♂️.

Also, I’m very very sorry for all this.

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.

The Democrats are playing their part in this Third World farce, just as the Republicans are.

Please let it be noted for the record that I did not say that the Democrats were left leaning.

“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.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 17 points 21 hours ago

ICE will show up and detain that baby.

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!

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago

No doubt. Has she been reading up on trump's attacks on Birthright Citizenship?

[–] ech@lemm.ee 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

It's where you stand under a faucet and babies fall out, right?

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 58 points 22 hours ago

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

“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.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

10000% pure copium. The fascists will NEVER see any semblance of justice unless YOU, PERSONALLY dedicate your life to making it happen. And even then, it isn't likely unless millions of other Americans accept their individual responsibility as a citizen to do the same.

THAT is the level of effort required to bring a society back after it has allowed its democratic institutions to fail.

[–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 19 hours ago

There are actual war criminal presidents roaming freely in the US and you think these people will get anything close to the Nuremberg trial? Delusional much?

Evil is country like yours avoiding any accountability which has made people like Putin and Netanyahu point at you and avoid any consequence. So spare me the bullshit rhetoric they'll face anything but a slap in the wrist.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 14 points 20 hours ago

This was mind-boggling and painful to read. Literally every paragraph was just wrong in at least six different ways.

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.”

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 24 points 22 hours ago

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

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 9 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

There are very few people who are a "catch" in the traditional sense. You have to be hot, with no faults, flaws, or baggage. High bar.

We are all depressed, stressed, anxious, self-absorbed people, in our own ways and to our own degrees. Admitting and understanding your shortcomings is hard. Having someone in your life that you can say those things about is a godsend. In the real world, the only requirement for being a catch is that you work your ass off so that your partner can say the same.

Also, this woman is having a baby shower. She's probably 7-8 months pregnant. Having been through that a few times, she's probably a hormonal, emotional wreck under the best of circumstances, but her husband is in a concentration camp, and thanks to the Supreme Court, he can be deported to Sudan with no repurcussions.

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

[–] Zenith@lemm.ee 7 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

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

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 21 hours ago

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.

[–] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 7 points 21 hours ago

*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.

[–] Shirasho@lemmings.world 7 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Nom nom nom

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

I feel like you should have known better than to support Trump. And for that. I give you some minute amount of sympathy but also. Fuck off lady.
