It would be so hilarious to me if after all the dramatic movies we've made about the President being killed by foreign enemies (usually Islamic terrorists) it happened in real life and the general response was to thank the terrorists. It's too ridiculous to be it's own movie but real life doesn't care about irony.

I mean, if we could be so lucky...

It's only lucky if they take out Vance and Mike Johnson too. Could they maybe be persuaded to wait until the Democrats have the House? Of course that would make Jeffries the President which honestly wouldn't be much of an improvement.

If that happens, there'd be a draft and a real boots-on-the-ground war in Iran. I don't think USA would just brush that off, as much as you hate the guy. I could be wrong of course, I don't know how they really think.

There is a 0% chance that I am drafted because if they try, there would be multiple dead bodies that day. Over. My. Rotten. Corpse.

I would rather break my own leg with a feather duster than lift a finger for this government.

"Don't threaten us with a good time!" said almost everyone.

I wonder if they could do it, I feel like they could.

I hope he shits his pants even more than usual over this.

But I hope he dies more banally, in a prison cell preferably.
