I feel like him getting more noble peace prize nominations would only make this bounty go up and would become even more comedic. Jehovah forbid they actually give him one. lmao

Why?
This clown destroying the US from within is the best thing that can happen to the world.
Yes it will create some waves but as they say: Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake

Why isn't Iran Lemmy's favorite country?
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.

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.
Did you know that it’s illegal to say, “I wish someone would kill the president of the united states”?
Nope: can't know things that aren't true.
It's not a true threat. When someone said
If they ever make me carry a rifle the first man I want to get in my sights is L.B.J.
that, too, was rejected as a true threat. The Secret Service may pay you a visit, though.
So, when are you not killing the president?

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!!
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."

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.

Has there ever been an assassination that was motivated by a public bounty? And did the assassin successfully collect?
I’m not asking whether there have been any previous similar bounties—I’m asking whether any of them were the primary incentive for a successful assassination.
The attempt against Rushdie failed, and the attacker claims to have had religious rather than financial motivations (and doesn’t seem to have planned to escape to collect payment in any case).

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 can't fix it, it needs to go

I upvoted, but only to raise awareness of this important issue. /s
Curb your Enthusiasm did a whole season about this. Should be relatively straightforward for him to get them to call it off as long as he follows their blueprint.

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?
"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."
