NEED TO KNOW

Arpineh Masihi, a Trump supporter and Iranian immigrant, was targeted by ICE and taken from her home on June 30

Her husband, Arthu Sahakyan, told a local news station that even though he misses Masihi, he still supports the Trump administration’s efforts to vet Iranian nationals

When asked whether he would take his MAGA flag off their house while his wife is detained, Sahakyan replied, “No, the flag stands”

    Anyone who’s new to watching a trump administration - I gather a lot of you were, y’know, younger the first time around - It’s important to remember: there is no bottom. Each and every new low is soon passed by an even lower low. It never ends.

        “TDS” is what the maga cultists accuse anyone of having when they point out trump’s clear malice, incompetence, corruption, etc. It stands for “trump derangement syndrome.”

        As if being a sane & rational person is “deranged.”

    I honestly think their marriage was in shambles and he’s glad he doesn’t have to deal with it. That’s the only way this makes sense.

      We are under a dictatorship. Think theough the possible outcomes

      Is he continues supporting Trump, he may get an exemption as a reward for his continued support despite a large news story developing

      If he speaks out against Trump’s policies, he’s effectively guaranteed not to get an exemption. Anti-Trump citizens are freqently attacked. They may come up with arbitrary crimes to charge him with, similar to Abrigio Garcia His own citizenship may be in jeopardy, as Trump has stated he may strip citizenship from those he disagrees with

      For him personally, it’s an obvious choice: Publicly support Trump, as it maximizes your personal gains
