My Lawyer Has Cautioned Me . . .

Not to endorse this in any way, shape or form. And to be completely serious for a moment, I don't. I don't support the execution of anyone.

Presented for your perusal: (And please confine your replies to the acceptable. I hear the mods here are draconian authoritarians)

Trump being assassinated by Iran would be just about the worst development imaginable. The right would turn him into a martyr to the evil Mooslims. They would also form a conspiracy theory that American democrats were somehow "in on it."

We're best off if Trump fades into political irrelevance, then dies of natural causes, preferably sooner rather than later.

True, but I'm torn on how I would feel about it.

 

[IronWing]

If Iran dares something like this, I think a stern memo would be in order.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Good, lets start another conflict and also kill some nearby secret service members as well!





(sarcasm intended there, for those here that are slow).

 

[Heartbreaker]

I'd prefer someone send Trump a Taser, and tell him it's useful for curing ED.

With Susan Collins as envoy.

I'm curious how many would piss/shit on his grave.

 

[amenx]

I see potential for opportunists to try something in their hope it would be blamed on Iran.

 

[Leymenaide]

Trump alive will do more damage to The Great Satan than Trump Dead.

 

[Bitek]

This would be terrible for our country and would surely start a war. That being said, it's probably an empty threat, but does illustrate the foolishness of Trump's actions.

 

[thilanliyan]

Would an actual military drone cast a shadow that big? Looks like a B2 bomber lol

 

[MtnMan]

I wish him a long and miserable life, financial ruin and convictions of for his crimes, with more time in the court room as the defendant than on the golf course.

 

[zinfamous]

I rather doubt there is a majority of Americans that would actually care if the Iranians assassinated the Orange Tumor.

We'd be like, "Yeah, that makes sense."

I'd care a LOT more if he was assassinated by a foreign power than by one of his disillusioned supporters. Hell, I might even contribute $10 to his canteen fund...

 

[BurnItDwn]

Assasinations are not good.
What we should do is extradite him to Iran after his trials in the US for tax fraud, treason, and conspiracy. Maybe let him serve out his terms in US prisons before extraditing him?

 

[pmv]

Would be pretty dumb for Iran to eliminate one of their best hopes for undermining American power and authority and destroying it from within. I'm pretty sure the Trump years have offered hope (and more than a little excitement, and even, dare I say, entertainment, along the way) to those hostile to the US for any reason.

Also - that's a very glossy golf green. Looks like a shot from "Honey, I shrunk the President" where a microbial Trump is playing golf on a leaf.

 

[cytg111]

That would be the dumbest thing Iran can do right now. So, no.

 

[JEDIYoda]

but you have to admit that if Trump was to be assassinated their might be a party similar to this --

I would care, but I would also think it makes sense.

 

[kage69]

Oh if only the repugs hadn't sold out America and instead did their duty to impeach/remove the treasonous asshat the first time around. The party before country affliction of repugs will continue to yield rotten fruit, for years I'm afraid.

Iran taking out a Russian asset that never should have slithered into office? Hrmm.

Man, how about this weather?

 

[BUTCH1]

I can't believe Iran has that kind of technology working 1/2 way across the world, if they did they would not be bragging about it, they'd be doing it already.

 

[GodisanAtheist]

Iran has a lot of bark, but they know that they're in some deep shit economically and politically right now. A lot of their stunts are likely the result of trying to bleed off public discontent into the infinite ground of hate that is "the great satan". Throw in a couple "death to Americas" and you got yourself a stew going.

It was probably very cathartic to a lot of Americans to basically shit on Iran for the last 4 years (Iran's colossally inept blunder in response to the assassination of Sulemani being the cherry on top) but the smart (and difficult) play IMO is to prop up Iran vs the Israel/Saudi coalition.

Keep the mid-east in a sort of low intensity détente and slowly try to bring all parties together to a place where a peace agreement is a more preferable outcome for all parties than having the détente collapse (basically a microcosm of the NATO/Soviet cold war, but applying lessons learned).

 

[Lezunto]

Remember, that memo has to be "strongly worded."

With only the best words!
