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.

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

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.

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

How many ways can the secret service split that?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

So like is there a kickstarter or gofundme for this or what…? Asking for a friend.

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.

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!

Crowdsourcing your assassination is an interesting plan.

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?

Oh my. Many would do it for free, but with this much incentive perhaps someone more "skilled" might want to get some skin in the game and expedite results.

Under other circumstances I'd find this kind of effort deplorable, but oh well. I'll label it balance/Newton's 3rd Law and call it a day. When you have these elephants dancing around with billions of lives there tends to be a push back of some kind, sooner or later.

Even if not now, with this specific effort, someday the bill will have to come due to those involved. Just like Hitler managed to get pretty far in his quest to spread suffering but eventually got his comeuppance. A marathon, not a race, as they say.

They should put it on gofundme.com
