Iran places $80M bounty on Trumps head.?

@SumKindaMunster But its fine to send thousands more young men and women into a region you just started trouble in for local political point scoring and to keep your crooked @$$ out of jail for tax evasion and money laundering.

@whowasthatmaskedman Strawman response, off topic. We are discussing the bounty on Trump's head. In fact, you brought it up.

Tell me more about how you think its totally fine to murder the President. 🤔

@SumKindaMunster Since you wrote in my post I did grant myself a little lattitude in my answer. But I dont see it as off topic. Your President picked a fight he did not need to, and immediately backed it up with other peoples lives. (not his own). Since the whole exercie on his part IS political (and domestic at that) point scoring I think I am safe. As for other politicians lives on the line (that would be a nice change), America does have a pretty good track record assassinating its own. And I might observe, considering some of the others Americans has shot in office, this one might be considered a step in the right direction. Frankly, I think making an elected official accountable to the public with his or her life might encourage them to lift their game. And I will include my own P.M. in that, the useless pr*ck.

That's your opinion. You are not privy to the same information and intel that the US President and military are. There were ongoing escalations in Iraq being perpetrated by the Iranians and their proxies. The Trump administration has claimed he was planning an imminent attack. Perhaps lives were saved, neither you nor I know for sure.

So just so I am not assuming anything, you think it would be a good thing if an American assassinated Trump?

So I am of course aware of the horrible wild fires currently consuming a good portion of your country. I truly hope it gets contained soon and you can start recovering with a minimum of damage and life lost.

I am also quite aware that your PM has not handled this situation well, to put it mildly. I've seen the news reports that he was on vacation during a portion of it, the cuts to the budgets of the firefighters and the embarrassing attempts to try to reach out to citizens in PR attempts that have backfired on him horribly.

BUT, I do not judge your PM as terrible based on his poor handling of this one crises, nor would I ever suggest it would be better if he were assassinated.

It's an interesting distinction don't you think?

@SumKindaMunster Just to close off the points that You claimed were "off point" in the first place:
Backing up a few moves, it was America who abandoned a deal with Iran, regarding its nuclear program that the other signatories (France and Britain among them) all agreed they were NOT violating that started this tit for tat dealing in the first place. One of Trumps early moves.
No. I do not believe assassinating Trump would be a good thing. First, he does not deserve a heroes end. Second, that Puts Pence in charge and if you thought Trump was a problem, wait till you have a Racist, Mysogynist, Southern True believer in the Chair. You will have the Handmaids Tale at home and the Crusades overseas.
And Finally. (Because I will delete further off point comment) Our Prime Minister and political party are in government or very similar reasons to yours. An apalling miscalculation by the other side that they could push a mediocre Candidite over the line with a half hearted campaign everyone "knew" they were sure to win. Morrison was a back stabbing failed marketing man from a fringe religious group who came to the leadership of the party to avoid a more right wing unpopular choice and has been a failure at every turn that didnt involve a photo opportunity.
Now can we drop it??

@whowasthatmaskedman Yeah snarly consider it dropped. Feel better?

@SumKindaMunster Trump has mocked a number of dead people. When he croaks, he'll get the "respect" in death that he gave others in life.

And no, I'm not saying it's acceptable to rejoice over threats to someone's life, but if Iran had put a bounty on Obama's head, you don't think plenty of conservatives wouldn't think that was hilarious? There are "Christians" who openly pray for RBG's death, FFS.

That's fair. I don't disagree.

I dont' disagree. Does that make it ok when people on here call for Trump to be assassinated? I'm just really struck by the rank hypocrisy of some people here who rend their garments in anguish every time there is a minor injustice in the world that happens to line up with their interests, but don't bat an eye calling for Trump to be assassinated. It really reinforces my observations of indoctrinating propaganda.

@SumKindaMunster Calling for anyone's assassination, including Trump's, is not only illegal, but immoral. I have never supported that, nor have I supported more benign statements, like when someone hopes he chokes on a hamberder. I limit myself to hoping that the lickspittle Senate Republicans grow a spine and remove him from office, or failing that, that the American people vote him out in November.

Don't lump me in with mindless haters just because I happen to share some of their views.

@LeopoldBloom I wasn't. If you notice we are in the thread where I confronted the original poster about his hypocrisy in calling for Trump's assassination.

You choose to kick in your 2 cents and here we are.
