That’s it. We found the most 21st century thing ever:
A GoFundMe for a political assassination.
I saw a billboard (in California) for a gofundme for Texas disaster relief. That feels peak 2025 to me.
Scams all the way down.
And those people have been trained to hate California(ns).
I think Maher is right when it come to how people in shithole states are taught to hate California, when the reality is that they are jealous of Cali.
And you know what, I desperately want my (tax) money to go to supporting them in their disaster.
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?
Okay but what about investing in the Fatwa ETF?
But I thought murica was the pinnacle of free speech? 😮
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.
What are the stretch goals? I mean, we have a whole slew of shitbags the world would be better off without.
"The above sum ($40,286, 867) will be received by the people who have committed themselves to any freedman who will carry out the sentence of justice."
($45,286, 867)
"A photo of the deceased will be published."
($50,286, 867)
"A recording of their last words will be published."
($60,286, 867)
"Ol' Pete will get the Russian resignation treatment."
($65,286, 867)
"Marco will get a special tea to drink."
Is Rupert Murdoch still alive?
He's the new Kissinger. Death has been trying to claw machine him since that SSS Kissinger pull.
Where do I donate?
I see they got my $7
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Why didn’t that happen with Bobby Kennedy and his aspirations for social justice?
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.
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.
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.
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.
o7.
Godspeed to all who try to collect.
"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."
How many ways can the secret service split that?
Has there ever been an assassination that was motivated by a public bounty? And did the assassin successfully collect?
interestingly, $35 millions came from a single donation in $MELANIA memecoins
