We wish it weren’t, but here we are:
The best line yet from WH: It's 2am and it would be unsafe for Iran to release American Military Personnel at night

Administration officials tell @jimsciutto Iran's move "not a hostile action," releasing sailors at night would be "unsafe."

Because they’re projecting. Hard.
Our sailors are apparently shipwrecked on an island in 1654. Shame. https://t.co/ZVe58JjeYB

@MPPregent @stephenfhayes Their nightvision gear swiped? Or is night generally unsafe for US sailors?

Nobody fears the darkness like US sailors. https://t.co/cRbAj41EEr

@MPPregent @stephenfhayes They're not afraid of the dark…???
— Tiffany Boyd (@tboyddmd) January 12, 2016
@SalenaZitoTrib @joshrogin @jimsciutto Yeah, cause everyone knows Navies close at night.

@MPPregent @jrsalzman I'm on duty at the firehouse with two US Navy veterans. I assure you, sailors are prepared to do work at 2am.

In case they try to eat after midnight or may possibly get wet? @MPPregent

@MPPregent @BecketAdams wouldn't want them to turn into a pumpkin
— Josh McCall (@JoshMcCall_) January 12, 2016
Well, there’s one silver lining, at least:
See? When we give them $100 billion this month, they'll be able to buy flashlights to release US sailors in dark. https://t.co/VQoyknNgsB
