    I hear you and feel you (😉) but whatever you're hoping to celebrate will not be the end of this ordeal. The US as we knew it is gone and even we suddenly had ideal circumstances from this moment on, rebuilding is going to take WORK.

    If they succeed, it’ll just mean 50 years in the desert for several cycles of poorly educated kids. Vance will step up. Rich people will prosper. Blah, blah, blah. Systemic change requires targeting the keys to power, not the shape of power. Donors do more damage, imo

    It's only "chilling" because I know it's not gonna happen.

    This is like when there are two really bad gangs who decide to kill each other.

    Now now... political discourse, it's not like one nation can just call out a bounty on another nations leader and assasinate or kidnap them without severe political consiquences... any nation dumb enough to set that precident would have no leg to stand on when another nation tries to do it to them right?

    Is it possible to add to the bounty? Is it like a GoFundMe?

    I don't know if Iran is holy/brave enough to kill the Antichrist.

    One quibble he's one of many antichrist. And honestly just a figurehead one at that. They're gleefully doing what he said because they've always wanted to. Not because they respect or like him beyond that. So maybe Iran should widen that net....

    Trump specifically is, unironically, the antichrist. The prophesies uncannily accurate to him, especially if you take into account the visions would have had to be interpreted by some random goat farmer back when mud huts were high technology. It was almost enough to make me think the Bible has some truth to it after all. Almost.

    That would be a "shame" and "tragic." I'll save up some thoughts and prayers just in case.

    I wouldn't give a rats ass. Many would see that as favorable.

    Win-Win. The world would get rid of one dangerous psychopath in office, and then the US would wipe out the current Iranian government.

    "Chilling" ... to who? Does he even seem to be enjoying life these days? His handlers would probably rather prop-up JD Vance as well, so ...

    Oh, and its Iran. The word you were looking for was "Comical".

    Fucking do it then. Unfortunately most likely just empty posturing as usual coming from Iran.

    'This time it won't be a PR stunt' would have been a better headline

    Whaddaya mean "PR stunt"? /s

    I took my family shooting with my homeguard unit. They shot a diemaco C7, which is similar to the AR15 used on Trump, with an elcan C79 3.4x optical sight.

    After firing 10 warmup shots, from a prone position at 200m, everyone would have gotten at least 2/3 hits if aiming for center mass. And my family is not a gun family, for half of them this was the first time they fired more than a .177 pellet airgun.

    I realize that adrenaline is a beast of a substance. But if I, with my mediocre (at best) shooting skills, get 100% hits, on a torso at 200m on the range, then I don't buy the story about an assassination attempt.

    You guys really want us to get into a full scale war with Iran? We are fucked if that happens.

    The fate you should be wishing on Trump is that he falls and shits himself on stage, preferably mid-sentence. This can't kill him, he needs to be bedridden for at least a month so he has to suffer through the nonstop news coverage of him falling and shitting himself on stage.

    A quick death is too good for the guy. Physical pain isn't enough, either, because he can get any painkiller.

    No, it must be psychological pain. He needs to live long enough to see his "legacy" shredded. We need his ego to die before his body.

    The man's ego is so fragile he started a war over not receiving a prize he was ineligible for. I am pretty sure he's already experiencing daily psychological pain by your definition.

    Ideally he would shit so violently it gets on Vance as well.
