I realize that many would like the Secret Service to just fucking shoot the President....

....and get this whole mess over with.

But, then we would be just another Rome.

We are better than this period in our history. Let's take our medicine, in the moment, and toss these motherfuckers out in November.

Trump. Even the sight of him stinks. But, whether we like it, or not, we have to suffer fucking idiots.

I hope that when he and Ivanka, "The American Business Woman," go to jail they have adjoining cell's so that they can tell each other how wonderful they are, everyday, until they die.

Even if I'm dead by then, I think I'll still be able to manage sending a nice card.

You are making a point of my irrelevant opinion. Trite comments do nothing for a parent who is very concerned about where their kid is right now. Sorry I vented. If you have kids I hope they are safe.

So, yeah I guess I'm toast.

Or, maybe I know I'm not going to sleep until I hear my kid's voice.

I had a nephew in the Marines. I know what you're experiencing but spare me the bait - not biting.

But, having a nephew that was in the Marines and having a living breathing kid down range at this particular point in time are not the same thing. I think I've made it quite clear that I don't want the President dead. But, having said that, I do hate this irresponsible clown and wish him to be held accountable for the position he has put us all in.

My nephew was down range under Bush after an illegal invasion and occupation. If you thinkyour fears are worse than ours were back then, good for you.
We're still waiting for Bush to be held accountable. We'll have better luck locking up this lunatic.

But, my eldest was in Iraq. So, perhaps you'll appreciate my sensitivity in the moment. My family has been in every war the U.S. has been in except the Mexican-American war. 12 generations of Army. I was a soldier and my wife was a soldier. My youngest will never join if I have anything to say about it. Knowing where my son is now, I would have you know life is going to suck until he gets home. Bush and Cheney destabilized the middle east Trump may have just set the whole region on fire.

A state funeral would distract from getting to the bottom of the Trump criminal enterprise. I want the orange one alive and kicking every step of the way.

Even though I think 'The Donald's" diet, and the stress of being "The Donald" will do him in within the next couple of years. I still want him alive and safe in prison for at least a generation. So we can all say grace at Thanksgiving knowing he is there and well, and fading with each passing breath.

we need his crimes exposed and we need him publicly rejected, his defenders humiliated, and his politics consigned to the trash bin of history.

if that doesn't happen we will just get more of the same in another form.

his getting shot, or dying in any event, does not help our cause one bit.

It's why we are, in general, against the death penalty around here. It solves nothing. It just energizes a circle of violence.

You are right that we are better than this period in our history and the way to rectify that is November. Until then, you're right, we'll just have to manage our way through it.

When it comes to the outcome of this, we've still got one of the strongest (if not the strongest) judicial systems in the world. I know he's chipping away at it but I'm waking up every morning with the knowledge that we've survived worse and we'll survive this. Will he and his family end up in prison...who knows.

I make wishes in sequence. My first wish is that this nightmare end peacefully the way all presidencies end - through the ballot box. Once that's done, I'll survey the landscape and make my next wish.

This hoping for someone's demise - it's just beneath folks here (unless of course them folks be bots...)

But you know it's kinda funny a few years back, when we had a real president, people all over the place used to threaten him, his wife, his daughters, and that was just fine. But, now that we have real sociopath in office I'm supposed to keep my tongue in my head? No I do not want the Trumpling dead. I want him in a cell just like Charley "Don't Grow Up Like Me" Manson.
