    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!

      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.

    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.

      At some point, he’ll piss off enough people that the world at large will just look the other way when it happens.

      Doubtful we’ll see a powerful head of state call for such an act. More likely, we’ll see some lone wolf who gets tied to a nation that immediately disavows them.

      I mean, if that rule gets tossed out, I can only think of like 2 world leaders I’d be sad to see go. Russia is already actively trying to kill one of those.

      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.”

    Phhhht! Put up or shut up, Iran. No one thinks you’ll do it. No one thinks you’re a threat over here. You can’t do it. You won’t do it.

    All talk. No action.

    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.
