It will certainly land you on some interesting lists
We’re likely on those lists already for using lemmy.
What kind of casserole do you bring to a fatwa fundraiser?
Ham is out, I think.
They're all out of pork?
There might be some if Ham comes back with it. He’s out right now.
Hamdulah!
nah, I don't want him to become a martyr. better if he dies from a heart attack on the toilet. 🤷♂️
When this nearly 80 year old fat guy, who loves burgers and hates exercise, eventually has a stroke, the right will still come up with crazy conspiracy theories about his death.
Idiots will find a way to make him a martyr. Hell, idiots thought he was secretly trying to stop Epstein.
That's the stretch goal, making it look like an accident is at 80 million.
There’s nothing saying such an appropriate demise can’t be surreptitiously expedited.
I have some McDonald's coupons left over. Can I send them to him?
Crowdsourcing your assassination is an interesting plan.
Anyone got the gofundme link?
Did Iran just create KillStarter?
GoKillHe
Just do it
The Nike ad campaign I could get behind

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.
You’d have to remove half the supreme court
Make that two thirds of the Supreme Court. Most of the worst decisions have been 6-3.
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.

I realize theyre now all in office now, so you may be right. But did anyone notice how the bumbling idiot orange puppet was a critical part of gaining that power?
He is certainly a puppet, but maybe without that puppet, it'll be like trying to play He-Man when the kid next door took your He-Man figure.

interestingly, $35 millions came from a single donation in $MELANIA memecoins
Your comment made me actually open the article. Sadly your comment seems to be fake. I want to believe!!
That’s it. We found the most 21st century thing ever:
A GoFundMe for a political assassination.

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?
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.

where can we donate to this fund asking for a friend 🙏
Where do I donate?
A day ago it was 40 million. Sooooo, where we at now?
Where can I donate?
Bad idea if you live in a country with extradition treaty with the US.
You could end up in gitmo for "providing material support to terrorist activity", because that is technically what you are doing, money is material support.
I can't tell you what to do, but like if Iran actually manage to do it, it would be the best excuse to get Iran obliterated from the map, and most NATO countries will probably help with the invasion of Iran under Article 5, since that's effectively like a 9/11 v2 (not in number of deaths, but in terms of being able to justify a foreign war).
Iran performing the assassination is 100x worse than, say that nutjob in 2024 doing it. If trump die from that kid's gunshot, there wouldn't be much happening, but if Iran did it? In this tense political climate where 1/3 of the US population are in a cult? Can you even imagine all the lynchings against Muslims, Arabs, and anyone who "looks middle eastern"?
Any soldiers or national guard that was bordering on "hmm, is this actually legal", will now not even question their orders. Being anti-trump in the aftermath of this hypothetical assassination would be treated as almost as bad as supporting al-qaeda.
Its not a good idea, IMO.
