Is it illegal for US citizens to donate?

It will certainly land you on some interesting lists

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

We’re likely on those lists already for using lemmy.

What kind of casserole do you bring to a fatwa fundraiser?

There might be some if Ham comes back with it. He’s out right now.

nah, I don't want him to become a martyr. better if he dies from a heart attack on the toilet. 🤷‍♂️

When this nearly 80 year old fat guy, who loves burgers and hates exercise, eventually has a stroke, the right will still come up with crazy conspiracy theories about his death.

Idiots will find a way to make him a martyr. Hell, idiots thought he was secretly trying to stop Epstein.

That's the stretch goal, making it look like an accident is at 80 million.

[–] don@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There’s nothing saying such an appropriate demise can’t be surreptitiously expedited.

I have some McDonald's coupons left over. Can I send them to him?

Crowdsourcing your assassination is an interesting plan.

Iranian hardline version of Kickstarter shoot be called "HeartStopper". I'm wondering what their stretch goals are.

[–] imTIREDnhungryboss@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 days ago

where can we donate to this fund asking for a friend 🙏

[–] TeenieBopper@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Anyone got the gofundme link?

[–] Hikuro93@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh my. Many would do it for free, but with this much incentive perhaps someone more "skilled" might want to get some skin in the game and expedite results.

Under other circumstances I'd find this kind of effort deplorable, but oh well. I'll label it balance/Newton's 3rd Law and call it a day. When you have these elephants dancing around with billions of lives there tends to be a push back of some kind, sooner or later.

Even if not now, with this specific effort, someday the bill will have to come due to those involved. Just like Hitler managed to get pretty far in his quest to spread suffering but eventually got his comeuppance. A marathon, not a race, as they say.

Trump is the anti human.

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

A day ago it was 40 million. Sooooo, where we at now?

The need for GoFundMe in our society has really gotten out of control.
