    Don’t give in to the threats, Dear Leader, be out in the open as publicly and vulnerably as possible. If you show fear instead of living your life as normal then the terrorists winTM! You should definitely take zero precautions against these threats, you certainly won’t regret taking zero precautions against these threats.

    Trump is 100000000000000% more likely to die from eating yet another McBurger in the next 24hrs than he’s to be assassinated by the Islamic Regime from now to the end of his natural lifespan.
    Also, to people who’d view that as a positive because hurr durr Trump (I get it): that would lead to President Vance with a mandate to wage a war of revenge. The whole political discussion would suddenly shift from all the damage that Trump has done to USA, to destroying Iran, with a high possibility of giving more strength to republicans.

      I see it claimed that Vance would be worse a lot, but he doesn’t even remotely have what it takes to be a cult leader, which is all the GOP is now. The power vacuum could only be a good thing.

        I do agree with you that Vance is a buffoon, but underestimating people like him is exactly how we got Trump in the first place. People just assumed he was doing it as a goof and had no real chance of winning and then he won. Twice.

        It’s entirely possible that when Trump dies or if he leaves office (it is really depressing that I have to say if there) the GOP will just pick Vance to take his place. We know the Republican base will gobble up whatever garbage is shoved down their throats so it’s really not that hard to believe.

      The point Iran is making is that a war does not need billions of dollars of munitions to turn. They can do a lot of damage economically. This world would have been a 20x better place if some kid just aimed 2 inches to the right.

      I don’t think causus belli works like that in the modern day, and we haven’t cared about legal mandates for war in the US for like 50 years.

      Vance probably won’t have a political mandate for continued war because a historically unpopular and getting more so by the moment president was killed in retaliation for a war he started.

      I am not so sure. Trump is an idiot and ignores people’s advice because he thinks hes a genius, so I could see Iranian cells in america coming up with a viable assassination plot. Especially since they are not against kamikazee typed assassinations.

    I want to buy a telescoping flag pole. Forget half mast, I want to be able to fly flags at double mast when someone particularly wicked dies.

      The flags will be brought down and then replaced with the traditional “Yippie” flag on the day of his death.

    Veiled threat? We’re unilaterally carpet bombing them! OP how do you accommodate this kind of propaganda in your media diet? I could never tolerate it.

    Trump is just a sock of shame for the ruling elites, and could be easily discarded, were it not for his distasteful utility.

    Dear God somebody needs to take him out. So far it’s been all the Republicans taking shots at him and fucking showing up on his properties with guns. They need some backup.

      Hey Fates, are you listening? Can we just make the Caesar metaphor completely on the hose and have him be stabbed to death by a group of Republican Senators?
