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.
If the Ayatollah can’t have it, no one can!
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
Where can I donate?
Perhaps move to Iran first, then you can really appreciate the greatness of that society and their great struggle against evil.
A temporary alliance in a common goal is fine. Whatever Iran is doing it doesn’t deserve the Israel/US bombing and war crimes.

You can get thrown in a concentration camp because your skin’s too dark and you weren’t carrying your ID, even if you’re a US citizen.
That’s one of the side effects about tossing out the rule of law. If merely protesting or having a certain meme on your phone is dangerous, then might as well go all in.

Funding a foreign assassination attempt will only unite all of the right-of-center and take away some of support of “centrist”/“conservative” democrats.
If it’s done in full seriousness, sure. But, the left can play the same game the right does. “Haha, it’s a joke, I just donated $10 to the kill Trump GoFundMe, isn’t that hilarious! What’s wrong, MAGA? Triggered? What snowflakes! Relax, it isn’t real, it’s just a joke. OR IS IT!? Haha, only joking, you thought I was serious. You MAGAs just can’t take a joke!”
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?
Did Iran just create KillStarter?
GoKillHe
There should be a website dedicated to funding murder
o7.
Godspeed to all who try to collect.
How many ways can the secret service split that?

Where do I donate?
That’s it. We found the most 21st century thing ever:
A GoFundMe for a political assassination.
link? :p
I seem to recall reading one of the divisive things the cipherpunks on their mailing list discussion was about untraceable digital money (before Bitcoin) and the thought experiment about just this very kind of thing (minus the siren server like GoFundMe, because why would you want that in the mix if you were doing this kind of thing).
Not that anyone set it up, and the many proposals around digital cash did not really gain traction until 2009 or so…but this was from the 90s.
Things will get wild once someone invents a decentralized assassination market.
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.
That’s probably at least partly right, but the most smugly arrogant American that isn’t the Mango Mussolini himself is perhaps not the best messenger for a “they hate me 'cause they ain’t me” message 😄
I doubt most of the teabaggers would listen to anything that counters their emotional beliefs. And yeah, Maher comes across as smug - but he’s not at all wrong…I mean, it’s probably even more true these days since California is the 4th largest economy now.
The people always bitching about Cali (but most likely have never been) have real “I hate the prom queen and prom king, they are so stuck up!” energy.
And you know what, I desperately want my (tax) money to go to supporting them in their disaster.
Plot twist their CIA version is thinking about a coup… or just as simple a bribe…
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? 😮
“Freedom of speech” mfs when it’s not about literal speech.
In the US.
Most countries wouldn’t care at all.
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
Will no one rid us of this turbulent president?
Unless it’s part of a piece of art

That’s another good one. Lol
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.
“Fun” fact. Trevor “Fell from his Balcony” and died shortly after this video.
What a weird coincidence.
Edit: Apparently it was a decade later. I was confused.
12 years later is “shortly after”?
No. I was just confused. The first time I saw this was a few months before he died and I guess I didn’t realize it was from years earlier. My bad.
Trump’s first thought…“How can I get in on that money?”.
Keep goose-stepping along the path?
I upvoted, but only to raise awareness of this important issue. /s
The need for GoFundMe in our society has really gotten out of control.
Alright, i am a very vocal opponent to Cryptocurrency, but i do see that there might be some cases where they are useful.
Kill Hitler fundraisers are unironically one of supposed ancap mechanisms against tyranny.
I just love how reality keeps proving me right.
(Would prefer a heaven where it doesn’t, of course)
