The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Dude don't waste your death on a splat, buy a sniper rifle and at least try an assassination attempt. You can always have a live grenade or side arm if you screw up and have to off yourself.... But I mean, at least take some pot shots at him or a crony before you leave.
did you know...
Just to make sure there's no chilling effect on any Americans who watched that link: It is in fact perfectly and absolutely legal for you to say you want to kill the president. The above linked video was just a skit.
(Further info on this is available in this legal advice Reddit thread.). Basically it only becomes questionable when it poses a reasonable threat, or contributes to evidence of a credible threat.
So I'm just saying; the more realistic and actualized your plans are, the quieter and more secretive you should be with them! All the way up to the glorious date you carry out your plans! ...and you control when that date is! Wouldn't that be exciting?
Anyways, I just think there are certain ideas worth popularizing and trying to get into the popular imagination, and this is one of them (all your plans coming together like a well oiled and maintained rifle. Perhaps from the arsenal of a well-regulated militia). Hey maybe one chosen one will do us all a favor and accept the mission.
We all have to take a shot at the things we believe in right? Sorry for typing so much... I guess I must have an itchy trigger finger.
And who decides 'reasonable threat'? The people who are joking along with you on preddit or the people locking you in the Epstein cell temporarily until your tria-- ohhh, nevermind.
Note to Canadians: armed American federal cops have come to major Canadian cities to arrest Canadians for something illegal in America but not illegal here - like selling hemp seeds were - and taken them to America for processing. It's fucked up.
Legitimately, do you have a source/example?
Marc Emery jumps to mind first, but admittedly that was selling seeds with some evidence of cross-border sales, and IIRC he was arrested by the RCMP and Halifax Police Department, though acting on a warrant from the Western District of Washington. If there was another mid- to high-profile case like that, especially if American enforcement made the arrest on Canadian soil [edit: or if this is about Emery and I'm missing some key details] I 100% want to learn more.
Someone should kill the president of the us and his wife Elon.
I'm not saying these people don't deserve it, but what good does it do? Wouldn't it be better to, IDK, kidnap them in order to exchange them for actual human rights? Like, giving away your freedom and potentially your life in exchange for a bill for a public health system?
You're actually correct, civil resistance is actually the most potent force:

The original suggestion certainly seems like a way for a single person to have more impact.
My understanding is there are marginal cases where violence is the answer, but I suspect this isn't one of them because of succession.
It’s important to set achievable goals! There are plenty of republicans in your local area.
I'm guessing the black SUVs are en route.
For anti-DEI purposes, they don't send black SUVs anymore.
