"So how did you solve world hunger?" "First we had a go fund me to assassinate DT. Met our goal. Then we fulfilled our end of the bargain." "Go on..." "The we defunded ICE, and solved world hunger. 120B goes a long way."

I see they got my $7

Curb your Enthusiasm did a whole season about this. Should be relatively straightforward for him to get them to call it off as long as he follows their blueprint.

Oh my. Many would do it for free, but with this much incentive perhaps someone more "skilled" might want to get some skin in the game and expedite results.

Under other circumstances I'd find this kind of effort deplorable, but oh well. I'll label it balance/Newton's 3rd Law and call it a day. When you have these elephants dancing around with billions of lives there tends to be a push back of some kind, sooner or later.

Even if not now, with this specific effort, someday the bill will have to come due to those involved. Just like Hitler managed to get pretty far in his quest to spread suffering but eventually got his comeuppance. A marathon, not a race, as they say.

I dunno, I think the idea of President Vance or President Johnson even don’t really seem like upgrades.

A day ago it was 40 million. Sooooo, where we at now?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

o7.

Godspeed to all who try to collect.

Trump is the anti human.

How many ways can the secret service split that?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

I mean, for legal reasons, I'm not going to tell them to do it. I'm also not going to tell them not to do it though!

How does a fatwa work? I don’t know much about it. Can anyone collect that bounty or do you, like, need to be Islamic/Iranian?

Ugh, does anyone want to see "JD" "Vance" take that role while the qons make a martyr of this shithead?

Or possibly worse, that little dweeby troll magamike johnson if they were to target "JD", too?

The people behind 2025 will use anyone else as their tool and if Taco were to fatwa'ed, it wouldn't make anything better and would most likely make things much worse.

Was JFK ever a martyr? They elected Nixon the next election.

I just don't buy this argument, and as far as J Davenport fucker is concerned I don't think he could hold the party together, and they'd eat themselves.
