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.
Is it illegal for US citizens to donate?
It will certainly land you on some interesting lists
We’re likely on those lists already for using lemmy.
What kind of casserole do you bring to a fatwa fundraiser?
Ham is out, I think.
They’re all out of pork?
There might be some if Ham comes back with it. He’s out right now.
Hamdulah!
nah, I don’t want him to become a martyr. better if he dies from a heart attack on the toilet. 🤷♂️
When this nearly 80 year old fat guy, who loves burgers and hates exercise, eventually has a stroke, the right will still come up with crazy conspiracy theories about his death.
Idiots will find a way to make him a martyr. Hell, idiots thought he was secretly trying to stop Epstein.
That’s the stretch goal, making it look like an accident is at 80 million.
There’s nothing saying such an appropriate demise can’t be surreptitiously expedited.
I have some McDonald’s coupons left over. Can I send them to him?

Crowdsourcing your assassination is an interesting plan.
Anyone got the gofundme link?
Did Iran just create KillStarter?
GoKillHe
Just do it

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’d have to remove half the supreme court
Make that two thirds of the Supreme Court. Most of the worst decisions have been 6-3.
I realize theyre now all in office now, so you may be right. But did anyone notice how the bumbling idiot orange puppet was a critical part of gaining that power?
He is certainly a puppet, but maybe without that puppet, it’ll be like trying to play He-Man when the kid next door took your He-Man figure.
He was just a useful TV star puppet.
He is crucial to their movement though. Most MAGA don’t give a shit about anyone else. This is a cult and without dear leader it will wither.
If Iran were to turn Trump into a glob of orange meat (I mean, more than he is right now), the cult will freak out. Some will blame it on deep state. Clinton and Biden will be name dropped. But there will be nothing to keep the movement going. I think Project 2025 will start to wither as well because no one involved can capture the mob like Trump can.
Only to have Democrats fail to undo a single thing Trump did, just like in 2021. No matter how he dies, Trump and MAGA will haunt the USA for however long it has left before the inevitable collapse.
Deliberately fail
No doubt the cult would fracture
It won’t end with Trump. His followers are brainwashed and will happily follow the next con man like sheep, just as they follow corrupt religious leaders. Not a critical thought in their heads. And anyone but a Dem.
Yes, but since all the bumbling toddlers in the US vote for Trump, he’s a powerful figurehead. I mean, I’m all for killing the rest on your list too, but he’d be a fantastic start.
Starting with Dump would give us President Vance, who could mess things up faster
Also more likely to cause a martyr situation starting with him
imo anything that makes this shit hit rock bottom more quickly so america can rebuild as a non-nazi nation is a good move
The problem is, rock bottom has two paths out. The first is to rebuild as a non-nazi nation. The other is to go full Nazi and just stay at rock bottom for a few decades.
I don’t think reality is that simple
Swap the prisoners in Gitmo for the Heritage Foundation
So the plot of Eagle Eye and Designated Survivor.
you can’t fix it, it needs to go
GoKillMe fund raiser
Iranian hardline version of Kickstarter shoot be called “HeartStopper”. I’m wondering what their stretch goals are.
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!!
The comment is real. I see it too.
It’s right there!damn, it actually is! 🤣
A day ago it was 40 million. Sooooo, where we at now?
where can we donate to this fund asking for a friend 🙏
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?
Where do I donate?
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.
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.
Things will get wild once someone invents a decentralized assassination market.
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.
Plot twist their CIA version is thinking about a coup… or just as simple a bribe…
