TIL: Iran put a 80 million dollar bounty on Donald Trump in 2020
An $80 million bounty has been placed on US President Donald Trump's head after General Qasem Soleimani was killed in US airstrikes last week, according to reports.
Is it still up, because that could explain things.
Two attempts after being a walking bag of human refuse for 84 years isn’t very surprising. It’s actually surprising that there haven’t been more.
Iran should have put some of that money in advertising because I didn't know of this.
The real crazy part is that it'd be perfectly legal for Joe Biden to issue the same offer, so long as it's through professional channels as an official act. The SCOTUS said so. Hell, to make it crystal clear, just order it through the military and then watch from the situation room. He could take out a few SCOTUS justices at the same time. And then unilaterally dictate that that sort of shit is not legal going forward. Best October surprise ever.
I am taking you read the recent news about Clinton and the October Suprise?
What was that?
Pizzagate was kind of a joke though, all the damage from the email leaks involving the DNC was already done by then.
The only thing it accomplished was maybe slightly increasing Republican votes. Everyone on the left side had already decided how they would vote.
It's similar to Harris in that she chose to ignore the uncommitted movement a while ago, which means most of the left has already decided how they're gonna vote. Any last minute details are unlikely to change much unless it's seriously huge.
Best October surprise ever.
lmaooooo 🤣🤣
Is there a smaller payout if we just deport him and dump him off at The Hauge?
We could feed two birds with one scone. Take the money and build some affordable housing.
The u.s would never allow one of their ex presidents to ever go to prison, let alone at the Hague. There are literally plans to attack the Hague and extract the ex president if that ever happens.
Affordable what now?
In some countries, if they find you on the streets they'll grab your ass and throw it into an apartment. And put a fat wad of cash in your hand! The nerve of some countries, man..
Can.....can I contribute to their Kickstarter?
When Trump said he would debate Biden anywhere, any time, I said Biden should agree to a debate in Tehran.
Man, people tried harder against Salman Rushdie for $6 million.
How would you even collect? Better yet, can you collect both this bounty and the $150,000 "posted" by his would-be assassin?
Probably by certifying intent beforehand and having them provide exit support so you can go to Iran and spend the rest of your life there out of reach of US retaliation, assuming a minimal willingness to hunt you down in a foreign nation.
Things would probably get complicated if the regime collapsed though, non zero chance those 80 million dollars would become useless as a new state tries to establish its own monetary policy, and that's assuming they aren't western friendly and decide to extradite you to curry favor.
You could make a PDF of the assassination plot, hash it, and get the hash timestamped. Then after the assassination, publish the PDF.
They should put more.
That shows you that life isn't like spy and action movies.
