Shame, they should help the US out a bit. Two people have tried already.

As much as I'm against Trump, I find it hard to wish anyone dead . I'm more content with prison for his (many) crimes

I understand this feeling, but I don't feel it myself. Trump dropping dead would be great. I'd rather him be in federal prison for life too, but only because I think that would be a worse punishment for him than death.

This is one of the fishiest stories I’ve heard in a long time. Three guys, one from Brooklyn, another from Staten, and the last guy was/is in Iran and called in a whole plot over the phone to the FBI. As I understand it supposedly this Iranian is being protected by the government who he just betrayed per the FBI. And the guys in NY did not do any of the hits or kidnappings the Iranian claimed was in the process of happening. The Iranian only knew the New Yorkers because they all spent time together in state prison before he was reported. This sounds like one of those Swatter / revenge type of cases.

Conservative qanon looneys get open shots on Trump. FBI and local police sleeping at the wheel. Solution? Blame Iran! Please start a war with Iran mister Trump!

Never waste a good crisis.

If they were, do you think they'd say so? " Whoopsie! You got us."
Why would they kill their own guy?

Trump ordered the assassination of that iranian general in his last presidency. Why would you think that Iran is in bed with Trump?

"Everyone i don't like is a ~~Chinese~~/~~Russian~~/Iranian asset" is recycled forever just the name(s) of current most medial enemy state is put into dotted place.

For 2, I initially thought the same thing....but Trump is on board to "finish the job" in Palestine. I'm sure all the countries controlled by a corrupt Muslim government have SOME mixed feelings on the orange turd.

Either way, I'm glad it failed. Just imagine the Christ allegory his cult would spin out of it.
