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.
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?
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.
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!!
The comment is real. I see it too.
Trump’s first thought…“How can I get in on that money?”.
Keep goose-stepping along the path?
They should put it on gofundme.com
Lol good luck.
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.
If Trump were assassinated, I would celebrate, and donate to the assassin’s defense fund. I don’t care if MAGA Nazis consider me a terrorist. Fuck them and their treasonous, corrupt ignorance.
As he lived for creating chaos, his own death would make him happy. The man who destroyed civilization has a certain ring, doesn’t it?
Why article 5? Is it not only valid if a country suffers an unprovoked attack? It will be hard to argue that bombing a country is not a provocation.
Article 5 and Catch 22, which in this case would be formulated as, “They can do anything that we can’t stop them from doing.” One could make that argument, but who’d be listening?
Because the US has intervened in the middle east for a long time before 9/11 and it was actuallt said to be bin laden’s motivation to attack the US. Look at what happened after 9/11; article 5 was triggered. They didn’t seem to think the US interventions in the middle east were a “provocation”.
Perhaps move to Iran first, then you can really appreciate the greatness of that society and their great struggle against evil.
clearly you never played modern warfare 2 https://youtu.be/a8ZGee3mzbE
A temporary alliance in a common goal is fine. Whatever Iran is doing it doesn’t deserve the Israel/US bombing and war crimes.
I don’t think making him a martyr would be a good idea. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t shed a tear if he passed with the worst agony I can imagine. But making him a martyr would make his agenda immortal.
The martyr window would have been more during the campaign leading up to the election. That window is closed now.
I’m unconvinced they can find a replacement for him that touches the nerve of all those hateful loons at once. Who are they going to have? JD Vance and his eyeliner?
The next election they’d play the “Do it for Him” card, but I can’t see them queuing round the block to vote for anyone else. They voted for Donald because even in their politically sheltered lives, they’d heard of him and seen him on TV. As somebody who watched Boris Johnson rise to power, it really is as fucking dumb as that.
Worst take in the thread. Martyr or not his philosophy and his followers is “unbridled self interest” aka “fuck you, I got mine.” Martyrdom is antethetical to the cause.
Somebody offing him would set a good example that being a corrupt, fascist leader is not a good way to get riches or a long healthy life.
Am I saying anyone should do something? No.
He needs to take the adolf way out.
Nah, it needs to be supremely conspiracy proof. Too many people will believe it was assassination of it could have possibly been assassination.
He’s an old unhealthy man, albeit with the best possible health care. His passing is moderately likely in an average day from health issues.
He also completely seems the type to leave a come-to-jesus meeting with his doctor about how he absolutely has to change his diet and start exercising and still hit the McDonald’s drive thru on the way home, so with a little luck, the best possible medical care won’t matter nearly as much as it could.
Martyrs tend to be symbols to a cause. Trump and maga don’t have much ideology it’s more a cult of personality. Those tend to go away when the central figure dies.
Why didn’t that happen with Bobby Kennedy and his aspirations for social justice?
I understand what you mean. But think of Hitler. Obviously his agenda did not die with him. But imagine all the numbnuts if he was assasinated on the peak of his power.
thats exactly what he did. He killed himself before he could get captured because videos of him in detention and beaten senseless would diminish his legacy. Your example is prove of the other guy being right
And to be fair, the easiest way to tell someone doesnt belong in society is when they start spouting hitlers views. A little litmus test, as a treat
I disagree. The people who want to make him a Martyr will make him a Martyr no matter what. The people who know what he has done will understand that him being killed doesn’t make any of that better.
See the way all the other Fascists in the world before him were handled.
I don’t think you are wrong. But I think an assassination would be the icing on the idiot cake.
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.
You can, however, wish bad fortune and ill luck befall the president. Its the “I want a person to do a thing” problem because it sounds like you could looking for somebody to hire.
But I thought murica was the pinnacle of free speech? 😮
Will no one rid us of this turbulent president?
“Fun” fact. Trevor “Fell from his Balcony” and died shortly after this video.
What a weird coincidence.
For some reason I thought this was a Matt Walsh bit. Wkuk and ucb occupy a similar area of my brain.
They are pretty similar in a lot of ways. Like how Matt Walsh walks around with a gallon of meth on most days, and he probably has kids tied to his radiator in his basement so he can grape them. Just uncanny really.
I got so many questions I’m not sure I want the answers to.
Two all time classics, although I feel like you missed cat hunting
🤦
Edit to add;I never claimed to be terribly bright.
That’s another good one. Lol
Okay but what about investing in the Fatwa ETF?
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
In the US.
Most countries wouldn’t care at all.
o7.
Godspeed to all who try to collect.
How many ways can the secret service split that?

Thank you for your attention on this issue! </tweet>
I dunno, I think the idea of President Vance or President Johnson even don’t really seem like upgrades.
One thing trump is really good at is playing people off each other. The man has a learning disability and is under-educated, but only a fool denies his savvy. He accepted vance knowing he couldn’t hold a coalition of the stupid and greedy, and if trump falls, they all fall to infighting unless there’s a dark horse I’m not seeing.
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.
They are both antichrist but just different flavors of antichrist. One is technocrat antichrist, the other is evangelical psychotic antichrist
Their politics are just as evil, but they’re not capable of being cult leaders. That alone is an improvement.
