Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

First country to kill him gets a free WW3 trophy.
Or the Nobel Peace prize.
Either way, they’ll find a reason to make it happen.
Most people can readily think of at least 6 or 27 or so.
Prove it.
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.
Y'all make it sound like he wouldn't ignore them like he does any other professional trying to do their job around him.
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.
Putin excels at that extra push, usually 7 or 8 stories up.
Valid.
No. Please. Don't assassinate the worst leader in American history. Iran, think of the children. Please. Don't do it at your earliest convenience.
By Allah we'd be so owned we might all destroy the Great Satan then and there
That headline. First I thought Iranians sunbathe and play with drones at the same time? Then had the unfortunate mental image of Trump sunbathing.
someone call the coast guard, a baby whale got beached!
Nuh-uh, bet you can't.
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."
They're too chicken. Bwak bwaak bwak!
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.
Anger at Daily Show: they showed a picture of sunbathing pumpkin Lord for minutes. Much too long. Covered that part of the screen.
Damn you, Ronnie!
Now, you don't have to:
I know, right? How am I going to get that image out of my head? It's almost enough to make me support censorship.

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.
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.

Bullshit, I don't believe this man sunbathes.
That’s what makes it so easy. Just pull a Mossad but with bronzer shipments.
Why you think Trump wants everything made in the USA at all costs?

Why would they tell everyone
"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 tell everyone if I don’t plan on doing it, but I want the heightened security to annoy my target.
Why sunbathe when you can smear Orange shit all over your face and 'fool' people into thinking you aren't an undead ghoul- Donald Trump
I'm into it.
lol, big talk. I'll believe it when I see it.
Unrelated, my favorite TV show is the X-Files.
Exploding golf ball.
Please.
There is probably an unspoken rule of geopolitics to the effect of "Don't start assassinating foreign dignitaries and heads of state unless you want everyone else to declare open season on you and yours." And it seems like we're getting closer to breaking that rule by the month.
If all our leaders, kings, politicians all vanished at once, I wonder how long it would be before us normal people even noticed.
Except Trump already did it to Iran, and we were likely saved from all out war by fucking COVID.
Everyone forgets about Solomeini
At some point, he'll piss off enough people that the world at large will just look the other way when it happens.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McElroy
McElroy was shot and killed in broad daylight as he sat with his wife Trena in his pickup truck on Skidmore's main street.[2] He was struck by bullets from at least two different firearms, in front of a crowd of people estimated as numbering between 30 and 46.[1] Despite the many witnesses, nobody came forward to say who shot him. To date, no one has been charged in connection with McElroy's death.
He met his last wife, Trena McCloud (1957–2012), when she was 12 years old and in eighth grade and he was 35. He raped McCloud repeatedly. McCloud's parents initially opposed the relationship, but McElroy threatened them into agreement by burning down their house and shooting the family dog.
