    Better to say that they could drone strike him anytime he’s golfing. Then the Secret Service wouldn’t let him golf, and his life would be ruined.

        Ignore, yes the cheetoh does. Putin? You just gave him a great idea for a staged “assassination attempt.” You know, for that extra push at midterms.

      Does he sunbathe? His “tan” orange glow is definitely a spray or cream as it’s so uneven a d stops at his “hair line.”

      This also reminds me of a joke where Melania is getting interviewed by Playboy or some similar style magazine. The interviewer asked her if she bleachs her asshole?

      Melania responds, “No, I just tell him to get a spray tan.”

      “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there — We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now” - Donald Trump

      I think the message is: killing me will be one of the last things you do in life.

    I would prefer it if they start with Thiel and the shadow cabinet first, then work their way towards the least competent member of the Project 2025 cabal. Fear would become Trump’s shadow, and US officials would be more likely to handle Iranian affairs in good faith.

      That’s probably the best way not to get your country nuked. If the US president gets assassinated by a drone and they can prove who did it, it won’t be good for who did it.

      They would nuke (whoever they think is behind the assassinations) first. That’s why nobody will do a thing. They are crazy enough to do it.

    This should be illegal. I think Iran has gone a step too far at this point. I don’t think there is a single person alive who would condone this.

    No one, I repeat NO ONE, wants to imagine Trump sunbathing.

      If Iranian hackers were so elite, they would have done something cool like erased student loan debt. Instead, they’re busy toppling Minecraft servers and trying to find anything they can use other than cell phones or pagers. Terribly un1337 of you, Ayatollah.
