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"

Maybe he hated his wife and that was his plan all along.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago

Maybe he was looking to get rid of her anyway, so it's win/win.

Or trying to stay alive.

Probably idiots tho

Maga is nested inside misogyny. His wife's problems are subordinate to his political allegiance. He probably things that trump will recompense the loss of his wife.

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.

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.

Dont overlook the simple explanation that it's a legitimate honest to god cult. Not an iota less cultish than Jonestown. The antivaxxers who lost a 6yo daughter felt no remorse either and did not change their minds on vaccines. These kinds of people have been willingly programmed into a nationwide cult. Idk what reconstruction will look like but unless it makes Sherman blush, there's no saving this country.

[-] [email protected] 63 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

That actually is a good explanation which also explains how ICE found out about her.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

I see someone who has to double down on their delusions or they will face immense guilt of voting for the person who disappeared their wife.

"I'm very for [the United States vetting] Iranian nationals because of the sleeper cells," Sahakyan told Fox 11. "I think it will resolve a lot of issues because we'll know exactly who's in here for what reasons, even though I miss [my wife] dearly."

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. They're married! It's a family bond! Imagine being married to a person that's like "sure, they took my spouse to a torture prison on foreign soil so I'd never see them or even their grave again, but they're torturing them for the greater good^™️^, so while I kind of miss them, I'm sure it's for the best of everyone. It was fun while it lasted."

If I ever returned, I'd skin them alive. That, too, I think would resolve a lot of issues.

my sister is married to someone like this and he also has a trump flag on the house they both live in.

i'm happy that my sister and nephews are all white-passing so that she'll never have to suffer through an ordeal like this; but at the same time i frustrated that she thinks it's fine and will never understand why it isn't

It's even weirder that judging by the names (wife's first name and husband's second) they are a pair of Iranian Armenians. It's not as if Trump hadn't broken every promise given to Armenians in the US.

This guy would drink the flavour aid without a second thought. Or a first one.

Masihi, who is now in her 40s, was 3 when she came to the United States as a refugee from Iran. About 15 years ago, her green card was revoked due to a prior conviction she had for theft, and since then she's been dedicated to regaining her legal status, Sahakyan told the Los Angeles TV station in an interview.

"I'm very for [the United States vetting] Iranian nationals because of the sleeper cells," Sahakyan told Fox 11. "I think it will resolve a lot of issues because we'll know exactly who's in here for what reasons, even though I miss [my wife] dearly."

I suppose one way to radicalize someone would be to detain them without due process.

When it comes to maga, they just kiss ass even more.

Clearly he doesn't understand. We've been identifying terrorists and sleeper cells for decades without snatching first and asking questions later. This is a combination of Federal incompetence (not being able to reasonably identify threats before detainment) and cruelty (they want self-deportations and unrest that justifies more funding).

"Trump is not trying to do anything bad," Arthu Sahakyan told the local news after his wife was taken from their California home. "He wants the best for the country"

You're a fucking moron and we'll be better off when they deport you too.

It's incredible to me how some people (my own mother included), believe that this asshole cares about this country AT ALL.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago

Man's thinking he is Lot, but he's not a lot by any metric.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 8 hours ago

Imagine choosing Trump over your own wife, even if you hate her.

"No, I wasn't expecting the leopards to eat my face, but I'm sure it was for the greater good. I still support the leopards. Although, I will miss my face and I don't know what it did wrong, this is the wisdom of the leopards and it is not meant for me to know."

They think they’re following a super genius playing 4d chess. They’re following a pigeon with a bomb strapped to itself shitting on a chess board

[-] [email protected] 16 points 10 hours ago

If that were my husband, I'd be considering divorce. At least if I ever got out of the gulag.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 10 hours ago

I'd be considering going full Lorena Bobbitt.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

You wouldn't want to go off half-cocked.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

Ideally you'd catch warning signs before you ever got married to him. My guess is a lot of those who are detained who are married to Trump supporters also support the detention of immigrants and just never thought it would happen to them.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

It's all part of ~~God's~~Trump's plan

[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 hours ago

That man is not a man or a husband. He's a fucking blow hard coward. Every maga is

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago

Heartwarming story. Sounds like it happened to a very deserving couple. Maybe ICE can come back and reunite them in custody?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago

Cultist gonna (behave like they belong to a) cult

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 hours ago

What a worthless fuck.

Won't even protect his family.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 hours ago

From the outside, it appears people like this have been trying to get rid of their spouses and this is a excellent scapegoat.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago

This is a stupid person.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago

The TDS is strong in this one.

Trump issues his thanks for supporting him by deporting you.
