FYI here is State Dept's statement on limitation of diplomatic immunity:

Meanwhile Justin Bieber and Madona and their followers insist how great and powerful are the Sufi and Turkey.

I tell you what, as much as I get along with Iranians despite their government , I have had very sketchy results with Turks, from manipulative haters, to jingoists, I have often been uncomfortable around them except for that one chick from Istabul, that is it, I cannot stand them

Yes, you’re right Tex. Torture is bad. Turks are bad.
And who do they think they are? anti(pro)-fa?
What happened to those anti(pro)-fa pussies anyway?

Some of the went to play war in Syria. Noisy, but from what I hear they don’t have a clue what it’s about.
