A senior cleric in Iran has issued a fatwa declaring that anyone who threatens Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is “an enemy of God,” state media has reported.
Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi was responding to a question about any threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump and the leaders of Israel, including prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A fatwa is a ruling on how to interpret Islamic law issued by a clerical authority.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It matters. He must not be allowed to go quickly or peacefully. He must be tortured live on the internet until it takes him. I won’t be happy with anything less. After all, it’s the cruelty that matters.
