    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.

        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.

          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.

    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.

    When Trump said he would debate Biden anywhere, any time, I said Biden should agree to a debate in Tehran.

    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.
