Afatwa, or religious decree, issued by senior Iranian clerics calling for the assassination of U.S. President Donald Trump has attracted online funding worth tens of millions of dollars, reports say.

Rare Iran W.

Let's assume that succeeds. A bunch of religious fanatics signing their fellow countrymen's death warrant. How is that different from maga loonies pulling down America? Still love the fact, but... Yeah

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I don't see one death changing much. His enablers would just enable someone else.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

It'll never succeed and to be honest, killing the Orange Jackass now world be counter productive. He's the head of a cult and one of the most important lessons of Christianity is to never make martyrsb out of cult leaders.

The best thing that could happen is he dies or is otherwise incapacitated by a stroke or heart attack. Then he MAGA will year itself apart trying to consolidate around over if several new leaders who lack the particular kind of charisma Trump possessed. Vance will be a puppet President that will seesaw between whichever faction is ascendant at any particular point, or else stick to one faction that has the most leverage.

Ugh, does anyone want to see "JD" "Vance" take that role while the qons make a martyr of this shithead?

Or possibly worse, that little dweeby troll magamike johnson if they were to target "JD", too?

The people behind 2025 will use anyone else as their tool and if Taco were to fatwa'ed, it wouldn't make anything better and would most likely make things much worse.

Was JFK ever a martyr? They elected Nixon the next election.

I just don't buy this argument, and as far as J Davenport fucker is concerned I don't think he could hold the party together, and they'd eat themselves.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

unless iran issue a fatwa aginst them both, its not useful.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 hour ago

Hypothetically, if Trump flatlined, Vance would be FAR better. He doesn't command the cult. The cult would finally fracture. Rats would finally speak truth to power.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I dunno, I think the idea of President Vance or President Johnson even don’t really seem like upgrades.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 minutes ago

Their politics are just as evil, but they're not capable of being cult leaders. That alone is an improvement.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, I cannot decide who I'd want least out of those two. They are both so goddamned weird. That porn pact thing that little johnson has with his son - really weird. And he always comes off as just so creepy and awful.

And "JD" - that asshole sitting there and asking Zelenskyy if he said thank you? "JD" can go fuck himself.

Did you know that it's illegal to say, "I wish someone would kill the president of the united states"?

Im not saying it, im just letting you know that it's illegal. Like a public service announcement.

Will no one rid us of this turbulent president?

When I see a cheeto on the floor, there is always a demon voice in my head telling me to stomp it with my foot

Okay but what about investing in the Fatwa ETF?

For some reason I thought this was a Matt Walsh bit. Wkuk and ucb occupy a similar area of my brain.

The real money is the dead Nazi you make along the way.

It would be delightfully ironic if they used the crypto that Trump is deregulating.

"So how did you solve world hunger?" "First we had a go fund me to assassinate DT. Met our goal. Then we fulfilled our end of the bargain." "Go on..." "The we defunded ICE, and solved world hunger. 120B goes a long way."

What are the stretch goals? I mean, we have a whole slew of shitbags the world would be better off without.
