why did they "kidnap" his wife too?

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why put "kidnap" in quotes, it's not as if it's a wild claim?

It certainly wasn't lawful in Venezuela, where I believe the kidnapping occurred.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

because it actually is a "wifenab" or wifenap but the word doesn't exist.

it was not a political choice but a linguistic (non)sensibility

What? Kidnapping doesn’t only happen to kids, adults can be kidnapped as well. Also if you are dead set on calling it something else it would just be abducted, like she’s a whole person not just a wife.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

yes, "abducted" is surely a better word choice but my comment was a reply to the title. so i used the same word and put it in quotation marks.

Now… why did they abduct a "whole other person" who is Nicolás Maduro's wife?

[–] borari@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Kidnapped had been the appropriate word choice since the mid-1800’s at least.

not sure why we are arguing about word choice? if you understand the intent, just move on.. why be critical?

Who happens to be 13?

And pregnant?

And they murdered her baby?

Seriously, this could get real worse real quick.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

i feel like i will regret my question but, can you post some links so i can understand what you're writing about?

Trump raped a 13 year old possibly impregnating her and her uncle drowned the baby in lake Michigan while Trump was present.

Someone called the FBI a few years ago and claimed that Trump raped her and killed her kid. Take it as seriously as you would any spurious accusation
