      35? I feel like that’s a low ball… though the sad fact is if it happened shit would probably get a lot worse real fast.

        That’s about how I picture America - 35% now love Iran, other 35% are outraged out of their minds and think that Trump should nuke Iran, and the rest think iRan is a fitness app and instantly blocked that source of ads.

        Yeah thinking rationally we are much better off just winning the mid terms and making him a lame duck.

            True, it does depend on Congress doing its job. Which is only somewhat more likely with a Democrat majority.

      Unfortunately, we’re going to be feeling less keen to let Americans in while Trump is actively threatening our country.

      • I mean its always ironic when that happens.

        Russian dissidents want to leave the war machine and they are banned from visiting European countries to defect.

        And the US deported a russian dissident back to russia.

        And now the US banned 75 countries from coming to the US, including Iranians who want to flee the regime…

        So I guess fuck those people?

    I don’t normally like seeing violence / gore. It makes me queezy and upset. I don’t click on NSFL links ever.

    But I would watch this. If the current potus was assassinated by someone (especially a foreign contract for hire), and it was captured on video, I would watch it on repeat, at various speeds, and I would relish in his pain as he capitulates to the cold clutch of death’s grip.

    I would save the video and revisit it from time to time as a reminder that sometimes people do get what they deserve.

    “chilling”…

    I’m tired of the media calling normal human rights heartwarming and news like this “chilling”

    An 80 old woman being able to go on retiremen or a child being able to pay for prosthetic limbs because of charity is not heartwarming. These are the real chilling facts.

    An action against a President who does not respect international law should be heartwarming although it’s drastic

    And yeah… I might be on a list now and not able to enter the USA… 🤷

      I really, really hope he dies of natural causes on live TV.

      If he’s assassinated things are going to get much worse.

        I dunno, they’ve already done the spin up for if Trump dies even from natural causes they’ll claim he was assassinated. No matter what happens things are going to get much worse.

        Wouldn’t it be nice to see Trump go down like a sack of potatoes mid self-aggrandizing rant at a press conference or something, and the bonk of his head off the podium to be sampled into a thousand EDM tracks from that moment until the next election?

          I think him falling asleep during some televised brief, at a table with a large group, of people would be better.

          Hammer in that point he does nothing of use and would have been literally sitting there dead for 20-minutes before anyone noticed.

    Frankly, if I were about to initiate a conflict with the US, I’d rather have Trump running the country, but you do you.

      I think the idea is if the next president doesn’t play ball, he will be taken out too.
      That also seems to have been Trumps entire plan for Venezuela.

      It’s a stupid plan, but I don’t think the Iranian regime is much smarter than the Trump administration.

        Venezuela was an agreement with their military, to be the de facto rulers. There is a plan, filled in their names on the cold war coup template.

          Seems the plan for Venezuela went down the toilet when the new president refused to play ball.

            The military of venezuela, the generals are in charge, not their vice president is my point.

            And the vp decrying the us is hardly refusing to play ball. What else are they going to say? They will sign over concessions under the watch of the military, there will be resistance, the military will help crush it, and operated paramilitaries for what they don’t want to do directly, like run through villages in areas where they’ve had attacks on oil infrastructure and run death squads on them, funded with cia backed illegal drug and gun sales.

            This is not just random speculation, it’s informed by what we spent the entire cold war doing. They filled in the blanks on the template.

      I think South Park was onto something here

      (Disclaimer/explanation, cause apparently it matters: it’s a link to a YouTube clip from the episode of South Park “Put It Down,” where President Garritrump keeps tweeting that Tweek, the 4th grade gay school kid with ridiculously high anxiety, will be the one to absolutely wreck North Korea)
