"Iran is run by theocratic psychopaths who only understand the language of violence!"
And they marry children instead of just molesting them like an upstanding Christian!
Oh no Americans marry their children too.
Between 2000 and 2021, some 315,000Â minorswere legally married in the United States.[23]Â The vast majority of child marriages (some 86%) were between a minor girl and an adult man.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage_in_the_United_States
Child marriage is legal in most US states.
...but it's okay to rape them though....crazy F%$KS!
And wouldn't you know it? The same states where child marriage is legal are also states where marital rape is treated as legally distinct from non-marital rape. In Iowa, for example, subsection (2) of article 709.4 Sexual abuse in third degree, excludes sexual acts committed by adults with children as young as 12, provided the parties are "cohabiting as husband and wife."
God damn, not even the Vatican has laws like that now. Their age of consent went from 12 to 18 recently. I believe the marriage exception got raised to 14, which is still kind of wild, but not Iowa levels. Many of those laws are in place for, and exceptional to, accomodating marriages that occured in a culture where it is acceptable but the marriage is obviously no longer in that country/culture.
For those that consider marriage "a thing" these laws are intended to balance the respect of marriage and respect the immaturity of a young mind and body. For those, like me, that recognise there is literally no purpose for marriage, they're entirely insane laws to go that low.
Every accusation a confession.
The Christian right?
This is nonsense.
Potatoes have an INCREDIBLE amount of self-awareness for something without a nervous system.
Anything with that many eyes is definitely self-aware!
Tbf it's not exactly same as US. Iran is using those weapons in self-defense instead of invading random countries an ocean + sea + two geographic regions away.
Also, we're apparently low on munitions, so we're failing at even spending our money on that.
No wonder the Pentagon hasn't passed an audit in a decade or something!
Actually the reason is the US uses 3M$ anti-missile missiles to intercept 20k$ drones. It was obvious from the start they would run out of them way while Iran would keep producing more of their drones (plus the ones they get from Russia).
It's quite unbelievable they the US were so confident in their capabilities they didn't bother to learn anything from the war in Ukraine, where swarms of cheap drones have replaced advanced but costly missiles for years now.
So the money may be genuinely used on weapons (and well, lobsters and steaks…). It's just spent stupid.
Healthcare is too expensive!
These are truly the times when the USA citizens should learn some tricks of government management from the France.
You mean they should let somebody crown himself as emperor and start a land war in Asia?
Never. Get involved in a land war in Asia!
never attribute to stupidity what can be adequately explained by malice.
*malice **stupidity
(It was intentional...!)
It was malicious.
Coulda funded the healthcare subsidies twice over for the 200b they're asking for
Lol, that would have helped poor people. Can't have that.
They could fund a public healthcare system twice over with the money the federal government is already spending providing piece meal health care through several inefficient programs. The war crime fund could solve the housing problem though.
But then why should people feel the need to join the army?
Th government is using health care to force people to continue working. They know they can fund it. They also know if healthcare becomes free in the US, there are lots of people who can just stop working. If they made healthcare free I'd likely be able to stop working by age 45
Iran has healthcare, you don't
lol I’m god
No, he just doesn’t count you as people.
islamic republic of iran, is largely ther because of USA/UK when they installed the shah.
Surely this is not real?
Tell me this motherfucker did not actually say this with a straight face
Edit: He did.
Does he hear himself? Like I feel like we're living in a sketch show.
no he only hears the call of nazis.
Why he gotta speak ill of the potato
It’s mockery. He knows there are no consequences for him, these press briefings are just going through the motions.
Who is "he" and what did he say?
This feels like a post that should include a link or an image...
They truly have reached the same point that Putin has, where you can invert any statement of theirs to get the actual truth
For anyone wanting verification.
While the quote is paraphrased but he absolutely said this.
Timestamp 24:52 for anyone interested
Fucking moron.
Does this dipshit realize he'll never be safe in public again? Probably anywhere on Earth.
And I don't think he gets lifetime tax payer funded Secret Service protection like America is prepared to give a felon rapist pedophile.
From the creator of:
"We're fighting religious fanatics who seek a nuclear capability in order for some religious Armageddon"
I'm not fron usa but did he literally said that?
It’s paraphrased, but yes, he said that.
Lmao
