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.

The problem is that Trump isn't actually in charge. He's just the figurehead who holds everyone's attention.

You'd have to remove half the supreme court, Congress, the electoral college, and the entire Heritage Foundation if you wanted a chance at fixing the US.

Trump on his own is a bumbling toddler who couldn't even make his own executive order to sign. I'd rather see him in a nursing home while the people who put him in power get tried for their crimes.

So the plot of Eagle Eye and Designated Survivor.

Yes, but since all the bumbling toddlers in the US vote for Trump, he's a powerful figurehead. I mean, I'm all for killing the rest on your list too, but he'd be a fantastic start.

Starting with Dump would give us President Vance, who could mess things up faster

Also more likely to cause a martyr situation starting with him

If the Ayatollah can't have it, no one can!

I fatwa $50 billion on Putin if the killer sırvives. If he does then I will kill him myself to not pay the price.

If some Iranians want to hunt down and put an end to some vile child molester’s wretched existence, who am I to stand in their way?

Where do I donate?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Is there a donation website or something?

Just curious. I wouldn't send money. Thoughts and prayers maybe. No money.

Humanity gives me hope again 🤘 👍

Oh man, new hope. Thx Iran, I wish you luck.

Is it GoFundMe ?

How does a fatwa work? I don’t know much about it. Can anyone collect that bounty or do you, like, need to be Islamic/Iranian?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It would be hilarious if a prominent republican tried to collect on that

I mean, for legal reasons, I'm not going to tell them to do it. I'm also not going to tell them not to do it though!

Alright, i am a very vocal opponent to Cryptocurrency, but i do see that there might be some cases where they are useful.

Kill Hitler fundraisers are unironically one of supposed ancap mechanisms against tyranny.

I just love how reality keeps proving me right.

(Would prefer a heaven where it doesn't, of course)

Trump's first thought..."How can I get in on that money?".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Keep goose-stepping along the path?
