Iranian A.J. and Big Justice in shambles.
Either I can use my Costco card as my real ID at TSA or Iranian diplomats should have the right to 1.50 hot dogs. They can’t have it both ways
If they tried the dogs they’d come around to loving america surely.
I thought the hot dogs were available for people without a membership, too.
Governments acting like toddlers. “If you won’t play exactly what I wanna play, then you can’t play in the sandbox 'cause I’m using it!” ass behaviour right here.
Also because I’m losing while you are playing by the rules I set, I’m going to change the rules mid game and claim you broke the rules giving me carte blanche to do whatever.
Potential travel and other restrictions could soon be imposed on the delegations from Iran, Sudan, Zimbabwe and, perhaps surprisingly, Brazil
Brazil?!?!?
They have the audacity to put a former right wing, populist leader on trial for an attempted coup … https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/05/jair-bolsonaro-trial
This is the biggest threat. Our politicians are very much against facing jail time for the shit they do in office and that blanket more or less extends to their time out of office too. It’s like being Made in the mafia. Untouchable. That convention really got tested on January 6th but but held firm. Now Trump might actually face consequences if he fucks shit up moneywise (if they let him bumble that far) because each new day is an untested horizon. But! Probably not gonna. But he is scared of it, so they will put pressure on Brazil over it because they don’t want it to become a trend.
weak aura, these yankees will never escape samsara
didn’t US diplomats used to invite foreign dignitaries to supermarkets specifically to influence them before? Costco is like the only US chain that hasn’t fully neoliberalised just yet. if any US business was going to impress an iranian, lmao
stiffing the Iranians and preventing them from getting some good deals
This is the actual face this makes me pull
I thought Republicans hated government controlled stores.
They literally have no principles besides acquiring more and more power.
Do they think Iran’s economy is floated by diplomats bulk buying goods from Costco to ship back home?
lmao and what exactly is Costco’s position on this?
So much for the free market
sounds like an Onion headline
this is what will motivate Iran to bring the BOOM
How would they enforce the ban?
Hey Iranian diplomats, I’ll go shop at Costco for you if you buy me a membership!
That would definitely get you arrested under some conspiracy like “iranian diplomats are bribing citizens to help them bypass sanctions”
Meh… can’t be as bad as…… smoking weed, lol
Can’t they just use some grocery delivery app lol
That’s it, deadly blow. Iran has crumbled.
Sure hope they aren’t shopping for mobile devices. Iranian internal security is really lacking, I read their officials and bodyguards were still using Western mobile devices and apps, that’s why Israel was easily able to track them. Even after the whole pager fiasco. Their last President died on board a helicopter, you really have to wonder if Israel exploded some mobile device. If Iran were smart, they would develop their own devices and system, or go entirely Chinese, unfortunately there is still a big part of Iranian society that views Western products as superior.
Oh… It’s not from the fakenews comm
