As much as I'd like to see this sadistic shitbag removed from society anyway possible, it would be preferable to see him in jail or let the Big Macs take care of him. If an assassination is tied to Iran, that can't be good for anyone.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They should just have Trump's dumbass UCW event end with a fight between Trump and the Ali Khamenei. Both are demented authoritarian old fools, and it would be funny to have these "tough guys" in a ring barely able to stand up before a punch is even thrown.
But they're both cowards that make others do violence for them so that'll never happen.
When two tribes go to war.
...and Diet Coke, the bastard has to drink something.
During the WW II the Allies did not consider assassinating Hitler, because they knew who was fucking everything up. The lunatic cleric should realize Mango Mussolini is weakening the USA.
You're assuming Iran has competent leadership.
Now we are talking! Get em!!!
Here's a comprehensive list why killing the orange Shitgibbon is a bad idea:

Let's just hope that if anything ever happens, the event takes large parts of the succession line with it.
Making him a martyr would be a bad consequence.
Once again failing to hold a president accountable for crimes against the country only keeps that avenue wide open for the future.
There's two
Who would have thought that Iran might save the USA 🙄
It won't. There's too many other assets implanted. Vance is no better and he at least knows when to shut the fuck up.

Got too many 'leaders' in this globe with a Jesus Christ/God Complex. That's what is wrong with this world.
That and an extreme lack of empathy, which is confusing
Most organized religions don't cultivate empathy, especially the ones considered Abrahamic. It probably inhibits it.
It's all about their gods saying "do these things and you won't suffer at my hands." Followers don't get to think about whether something is correct or the right thing to do. They're too busy thinking about if it's going to count as a sin.
Having lived in Utah for way too long, I have seen this among the Mor[m]ons. They'll do "good works" but it's very impersonal most of the time.
It's about grinding the maximum blessings with the least amount of effort. That doesn't lend itself to empathy.
Especially with the whole temple thing. Spend a couple of hours cosplaying as an avatar for a dead person and still get all the blessings as if you helped a living person in a tight spot.

A Jesus Christ complex would be refreshing. A leader who would deny earthly pleasures, command their followers to love thy neighbor, feed the hungry, uplift the sick and poor, give long sermons about mercy and forgiving your enemies, and would be seen personally breaking bread with the unhoused and lawyers alike?
That'd freak everybody out for sure.

Hey. If it happens you won't hear me complain.
He needs to go. The who how and why doesn't matter so long as he's gone. That's a win for the entire human race.
Has he created a movement, or has there been a movement that has attracted him? As I see it, it's not just him it's most of the current GOP leadership, Thiel and the Heritage foundation, Citizens United and a few adjacent organizations that need to go before you can go to a somewhat reasonable functioning society in the US. And frankly the way some Democrats react to the New York primary, they also seriously need to clean house.
Happiness is small moments. Little dots of hope in a sea of despair and misery.
You go to work. Autopilot through the day. Then at lunch or on break you get that sandwich you really love from a nearby shop or your favorite spot. You have that momentary respite before returning to whatever drudgery you're forced to endure to live in this hole. Now expand that to cover everything all the time. Might be a sandwich. Might be a new episode of your favorite show. A hug from your partner or child.
Tiny moments of joy.
Doe 174 dying is a tiny moment of joy that a whole lot of people will get a whole lot of joy from. So yeah. It'll be worth it. And I'll applaud it no matter how it happens.
I was gonna say that it would only be unfortunate due to giving them a reason to attack Iran, but history has shown us that doesn't matter. We'll do that regardless. If we dont have a reason we've been happy to just make one up.
At this point its really just a matter of not wanting to actually fight America on the battlefield.
The problem is the movement he has created. The same is true of many other politicians in other countries.
Is it a movement or is it a trump cult?
My view is I don’t see this ending if he dies.

Babe wake up, abrahamic religion is fighting again.
Well, Trump is an insult to anyone with more than one functioning brain cell
It's weird when two horrible entities in the world hate each other. Is it popcorn time?
Only in the sense that all our heads will start to pop like popcorn when the nukes start flying.
Iran doesn't have nukes and their strategy is quite defensive, rather than aggressive. If there is Nukes flying Israel would toss them first and the US would follow in, because they can't be not throwing bigger bombs than Israel.
He is the enemy of literally everyone, so, I guess God is also on that list 😂

Is this the Muslim equivalent of calling someone the Antichrist?
I don’t necessarily vibe with the processes to reach the declaration nor do I reflexively support the orator, but I can’t say I disagree
