It might just be a coincidence but Kathy Griffin was seen tonight at the Los Angeles airport boarding a red-eye flight bound for Iran.

Quote:
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.

Dim fundraising will drop because of this.
You kidding?
Perhaps some dim candidates, only cause their funds will now be going elsewhere.
My guess is that 80 million (damn, the mullahs must be poor-ass broke to come up with that number) will be double or tripled down on by the hollyweird leftists, much to the chagrin and detriment of their preferred comrade currently running to ruin our once great Country.
Sad times, indeed.

Dems side with Iran, it's painfully obvious. However,they are probably more pissed that this is taking airtime away from the impeachment nonsense.

There was a theory that the money that BHO gave Iran got funneled back to some Dems state side.

RE: Iran Puts $80M Bounty on Trump’s Head
Anyone remember when Reagan decided to level all of Muammar Gaddafi's homes just to show we could? I'm thinking that kind of response to this "bounty" would be awesome.

That's what we didn't do in Iraq or Afghanistan--or Vietnam.
I remember a Geraldo Rivera special on Fox, just after he got over there an just after the fall of Baghdad, where he did a tour of Saddam's palaces to record the ostentatious lifestyle which he lived. All I could think of during the broadcast was why are those places still standing. Then it hit me, we were intending to be an army of occupation, and we preserved those places so that our senior occupying officials could live there. That is not the way to fight a war.

Seriously?
I don't care if our President is a "R", "D", "I", or "Blue Tree Hugger Alien Party", I'd never seem happy about a foreign leader putting a bounty on their head. You threaten our President...you deserve a swift and severe reaction.

When we did that op, US warplanes had to fly through French airspace to rain a little steel on our old pal...the French said no and Reagan told them to fuq right off.

So, are you specifically saying you'd be glad if Iran killed Trump, a sitting US President? Only asking because I want to see where your true loyalties lie. Thanks!
