Beside the coffin of the assassinated former Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei at a packed prayer hall in Tehran on Sunday there were calls for the killing of Donald Trump.

The funeral prayers for the former supreme leader and four other family members created a political spectacle at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla that melded grief with calls for revenge.

“From now on the shroud is our garment. I swear by your blood; Trump’s murder is our responsibility,” Mohammad Rasouli, a poet, said at a poetry recitation immediately before the prayer reading at the farewell ceremony. He asked: “Why is the most bastard man in the world still alive? The world is no longer a good place for Trump. Why should we not kill the man who killed our imam? It would be a disgrace if we did not.”

This is actually Iran taking the high road. They aren't threatening women, children, or even American soldiers. Only America's talking asshole.

USA outclassed again by a backwards theocratic autocracy.

So? There's call for killing Trump right here in canada.

They should host the correspondant dinner in a school maybe then shit'd get done.

They do poetry differently in Iran.

I mean, that's presumably why heads of state don't go about assassinating other heads of state in the first place. Once you open that can of worms, what do you expect.

Even Chess rules tell you to not do that... And it is quite telling that that rule was indeed added by the Persians... Heed the fucking ancient wisdom you philistine fucks.

Put up or shut up, cowards! You ain't gonna the guts to do something this big. You won't even try.

If they pulled it off it'd be a real weird vibe. On one hand there will be parades, parties and celebration. On the other hand the Republicans are still in power so Lord knows what they'd do with President eye liner in response.

Seems fair.

[-] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

No objections here. But prolly best to make it look like an accident or natural causes.

[-] RIotingPacifist@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

I think we should return to an era of leader on leader violence that leaves the rest of us out of it

[-] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Since when has that ever been a thing?

[-] Master167@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Not while he's in office. I don't want him to be idolized by his followers. Wait until the impeachment and removal from office has happened next year.

For the Americans, here. Go register to Vote & get your neighbor to register too.

You can't vote your way out of fascism.

[-] pazuzuzu@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 day ago

Hungary might disagree

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

Even if Dems somehow take the house and flip a few senator votes, they still don't have the numbers for impeachment and removal.

[-] Master167@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

One may hope some R's see the light.

Republicans:

I have zero faith in those bastards. In fact, I have faith that they will always do the wrong thing.

[-] Snowies@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

People like Donald John Trump make me hope Hell is real.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

There's no type of infinite existence that wouldn't become hell.

[-] Snowies@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah the Good Place was a pretty good show I know, but let me have my moment. I’m enjoying the image in my head.

[-] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I haven't heard anyone arguing against it...

[-] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Turnabout is fair play

Him, his family, the top donors and VC's he has enriched himself with.

Can we get a few poets in the US come up with straight up war-chants too please? It's objectively cool.
