Is it still up, because that could explain things.
That and who thinks Iran would even be able to pay up?
Why wouldn’t they be able to pay up?
Why would they have to? The second the assassin revealed themselves to collect, they would be the most hunted person on the planet.
Iran’s soft power is only as good as its word.
They’d be in Iran.
And then Iran would be a pile of rubble.
I’m assuming a scenario where the perpetrators are killed on the scene, and the actual masterminds are already in Iran or in Iranian proxy territory, and for some time after the attack, their identities unknown to the west.
It’s certainly not beyond Iran and its proxies to keep someone hidden in total luxury for the rest of their life.
In a scenario where the perpetrators or planners have somehow made it to Iran and are known to the West, no, for sure, sovereignty will not stop the West from getting them.
And yet no one’s tried to collect the bounty yet as far as we know. And clearly not because of the skill and diligence of the United States Secret Service.
Let’s say they only reveal themselves to Iran though @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world - what about sanctions?
Do they have $80 million in crypto?
If they did, I bet it would be one of those enormous cheques, like on Publishers Clearinghouse
The Iranian Ed McMahon comes to the assassin’s door…
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.
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.
No? What happened now?
Hillary said she was accused of pizzagate, look it up in google, and they trainwrecked he whole campaign even if it was made up. So it came in October for her and she is warning Harris that be wary because something could pop up and derail your who campaign no matter how ubserd it sounds.
Oh, I thought there was some new story. Yeah, I was aware of that 8 years ago. And the “Hillary’s emails” “scandal”. And the trump “grab them by the pussy” tape. It’s all so cyclical. Nothing surprises me anymore. There will be firehosing to distract from trump’s actual existential disqualifications. He’s an easily manipulated, lying, stupid asshole. Meanwhile Harris is compassionate and educated, and has been duly elected to all three branches of government. She and Walz aren’t perfect, but it’s laughable to suggest that the alternative in this election is even worth considering. Anybody who believes something in the realm of pizzagate in this election cycle is feverishly searching for an excuse to vote for trump without being honest about their hated for women, minorities, and/or anybody left of the extreme right.
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.
They should put more.
