Iran Puts $80M Bounty on Trump’s Head for Soleimani Hit
By: Tyler O’Neil
So the terrorist regime in Iran is calling for the assassination of our elected President and offered a bounty to whomever does it. That’s typical of that regime. Most Iranians celebrated the death of the terrorist who so ruthlessly repressed them. This is a chance for America’s progressive left to stand with America and our elected government against an enemy terrorist regime attempting to destabilize our democracy by trying to assassinate our President.
The mullahs of Iran have placed an $80 million bounty on the head of President Donald Trump in revenge for the hit that killed Quds Force leader Qasem Soleimani. Iranian state television announced the bounty, framing it as an offer on behalf of the Iranian people.
“If everyone anywhere in the world supports our initiative in Mashhad, on behalf of all of Iran’s people - 80 million Iranians - and each puts aside $1 US, it would equal $80 million,” the report said. “And we would give this $80 million, on our own behalf, as a gift to anyone who brings the head of the person who ordered the murder of the grand figure of our revolution.”
If there were any doubt about whom the mullahs wanted assassinated, the statement concluded, “Anyone who brings us the head of this yellow-haired lunatic, we would give him $80 million on behalf of the great Iranian nation.”
London-based Iran reporter M. Hanif Jazayeri reported on the bounty and insisted that Iran’s people celebrated the death of Soleimani. ”Iran's regime just announced an $80 million bounty for anyone who brings the head of [Donald Trump] for killing Soleimani,” Jazayeri tweeted. “PS: Iran's ppl, however, are overjoyed at Soleimani's death. As the #IranProtests have shown, they long for an end to the mullahs' tyranny.”
Trump ordered the hit on Soleimani after Iran-backed Iraqi militias besieged the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. The Quds Force leader directed Iran’s paramilitary influence campaigns outside the borders of the Islamic Republic, including terroristic efforts against protesters in the Syrian Civil War. The Pentagon claimed intelligence showed Soleimani ordered the attack on the embassy, which was arguably an act of war.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei vowed “severe revenge” for the hit on the Quds Force leader. It seems unlikely Iran will declare war, but this bounty is the first of its retaliatory efforts.
Correction: The original version of this article claimed that Iran's government placed the bounty on Trump's head. An unnamed eulogist offered the bounty at Soleimani's funeral, and it does not represent the official position of Iran's government.

There are people here who would do it for far less money. Maybe they should check his golf courses for grassy knolls.
Gee... No one could have seen this coming!
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei should worry that there is a missile with his name on it, just waiting
I would imagine that's also true of just about every Arab and/or Persian leader in the Middle East.
These people have amazing nerve acting like victims. They sponsor murder and terrorism throughout the region. Everybody knows it. And yet the international community still listens to their bullshit. It's sad.
They sponsor murder and terrorism throughout the region.
America's pointless wars have killed tens of thousands... and accomplished nothing. Now we are preparing to occupy Iran.
I wonder how that will go...
The loss of life on both sides would be high if we even try.
So... are we just going to bomb the hell out of Iran? Including, as President Trump made clear, "cultural sites"?
Just how barbaric are we?
We are? Who told you that?
Without a declaration of war, I kind of doubt it. And as much as he talks, I don't think Trump would authorize it without some very strong evidence justifying it. I also think the "cultural sites" stuff is just talk.
It must be nice to have followers who will believe anything you say...
... or alternatively...
... disbelieve anything you say...
... depending on what you need.
thats just fricken undisbelievable
How about critics/haters who disbelieve everything a person says . . .
... or alternatively...
... believes anything he says...
... depending on what you need.
Think about it. 360 days a year, Donald Trump is the biggest liar, bamboozler and bullshit artist the world has ever known - at least that's what you guys claim. Then the other 5 days, he says something threatening or scary and we're supposed to take him 100% literally?
Don’t ask me. Trump is your deity. You (collective "you", not you personally) obey his every whim. You endorse his follies.
It's your responsibility to explain both his words and his actions. It the utter incoherence of his words and actions make explanation difficult... you might reconsider your worship of him.
But of course, you won't. You'll glide away on a pirouette...
Perhaps its a double-- or even a treble...entendre as well?
Prior to the 2016 election day, there was overwhelming evidence that Donald Trump is a habitual liar, a crook, a bigot, and a moron. Not suspicions, evidence. Nonetheless enough people ignored reality and voted him in on the theory that the other person was "worse".
Our national mistake has condemned this present batch of Americans to harsh judgement by history. If the country survives.
Three dimensional chess!
John - I think you meant to answer Tacos, not me.
By Congress?
See, for example:
Trump’s Order To Strike Iranian Commander Sparks Fresh Debate In Congress Over War Powers
You 100% ignored everything in the comment you are replying to.
Not hardly. Now that we have that settled, is it possible to have a conversation? Or will you go on dismissing my point of view because you think I worship Trump? It is easier to demonize someone than to listen to them, I guess.
I have no such responsibility.
Nope. Still here. Now what? You go cry in the corner? Or talk like an adult?
Sure, you call him a liar 6 days a week and twice on Sunday. I get it. But he says something like he's going to bomb cultural sites and you just believe? Why? Why wouldn't he be lying about that, too?
Yeah, but short of an actual attack from Iran first, I don't see it happening. I think in a few weeks, most people will have forgotten this ever happened.
I may have misunderstood you.
If you tell me that Trump is a liar, scoundrel, crook, then I will apologize for having said you idolize him.
Nope. Didn't do that.
I do blame Trump (and Obama and above all Bush) for the monstrous waste of lives and fortune in the Middle East.
But I don't blame America. The President is not the nation.
So either I subscribe to all three of your extreme characterizations or it must mean that idolize him? Attitudes like that are precisely what is wrong with politics these days. Do you get your cues from the French Revolution?
This is not going to end well for anyone if calmer heads don't prevail on both sides but especially for Iran. The dirty deeds they've been spreading the world over for nearly 50 years are finally starting to come due
Sadly there is a large group in this country who are so TDS ridden they are actually rooting for a very terror complicit Iran on this one. Never thought i'd see the day for something like that to happen in the US. Amazing!
if you replaced Iran with Russia, you might know about another day many of US never thought we would see coming from the hard to spell or cast
GOP
Rationalize all you want. The TDS is real and i promise you. Had this been Obama or some other Dem POTUS, the same people bagging on Trump would be praising the Dem POTUS. You know its true so don't try to deny it.
Bottom line, no one should cry for this POS. The world is a much better place without him.
No doubt
i'll never cry for Trump, and true, the world would be a much better place without him, i still don't wish him assassinated for even $79,999,999.99.
But i do wish him gone, cause he is a national disgrace, and that is just my two non cents, inserted.
Two non cents = $79,999,999.98
[deleted....] that's a dollar two fity worth of advice there .... i'm feeling very generous today
didn't realize you were a [deleted]

cause if i inserted two non cents, i either added no thing, or made the total $80,000,000.01

nah, i'm redired from lernin
Thats probably well and good .... it seems your programming from the mother-ship may be complete
The word you are looking for is quell, not Kwell.
Nah i spelled it right. Google it
Didn't know it was a contest but thanks for the vote regardless. Now i know i won.
You're the best girl. Keep the love coming!!

Happy New Year though. You're gonna need all the help you can get in 2020 i'm afraid.
You were away?

Keep the love coming girl ... i eat that shit with a spoon
Ahhh, got it.
Quell - put an end to (a rebellion or other disorder), typically by the use of force:"extra police were called to quell the disturbance"
Kwell - a preparation of lindane (trade name Kwell) that is used to kill lice and itch mites; available in cream or shampoo trademark - a formally registered symbol identifying the manufacturer or distributor of a product lindane - a white crystalline powder used as an agricultural insecticide.
You spelled it right only if you have lice.
Actually most of us were actually wondering if he was totally there in the first place . . .
(Or words to that effect :^)
I spelled it exactly correct for what i intended and i got my pee-pee wacked for it.
You can't joke around in here anymore i guess. Unless you're the fish i suppose ......

Meh, it happens. Like i said in another post, i have a great following.
Moderating ain't an easy job. I've done it and it isn't fun unless you're a bonafide megalomaniac
Never thought i'd see the day for something like that to happen in the US.
That strikes me as being pretty naive, actually.
(Or perhaps you weren't bering serious?)
Naive? For a large group of "Americans" to be supporting a terrorist nations interest over their own country? Yeah i meant it and don't bother trying to rationalize away that somehow that isn't happening. Because it most certainly is.
This is a lot like all the people out there that have a fake respect for the military and Vets. They are easy to pick out. The say how they support Vets and the Military because that's the in thing to do these days but deep down they really despise us. Hillary is a good example of that. She despises anything military. She doesn't even lie about it that well.
Bring me the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West!
Frankly, if someone did manage to take him out, it's highly unlikely they'd be able to deliver his head to anyone. These mullahs seem to have about as much brainpower as Trump - meaning, none at all.
George Lopez??? Washington Times?? Two of the biggest jokes of the century.
The Washington Times is a conservative publication.
So you two are saying Mr. Lopez didn't say/post it then?? Because it was the Washington Examiner??
SMFH
Maybe you can shake some sense into it.
I said the Washington Times is a conservative newspaper. That is all I said.
What does the Washington Examiner have to do with it?
Reading right wing comments on this site is just looking at one mistaken 'fact' after another.
I stand corrected...........on the source at least. Thanks.
No need to stand...its perfectly OK to remain seated when you are being corrected.
After all, we're all friends here....no need for excessive formality!
Well George, leave your exclusive, gated country club long enough to get her done then. Talk is cheap bitch!
While I know your "bitch" comment was meant for George Lopez, I see someone(s) has flagged it. Comprehension for some is such a hard subject.............
I have my admirers here. No doubt about it.
Prolly one of my old girlfriends from NV.
Of course everything you read on Instagram is true (After all, they aren't allowed to put anything that isn't true on the Internet)
The bearded mullahs put an $80 million dollar bounty on the American presidents head? Jeez, is he worth that much? Or is that a 1/10 of a one per cent paydown on his debts?
i thought it was put on his head,
to get his "hair" to cooperate...
He does not have 'hair' in the traditional sense.
lets face it, there is NOTHING in the 'traditional sense' that intersects in the reality, faux or for real, when dealing with the old fart of the deal, who has disc slipped as if he slipped on a banana, but not the un appeal
Trump and Ned Beatty, are likely to squeal, as for what he's done this time, this time,
is for real
