Violence is not the answer. Patriotic Americans should unite and force him out of office peacefully. 

Carole Cook only hurts the resistance with such a "joke." 

PS

She's 94 years old so she probably doesnt give a shit about the consequences.

So you are admitting the only way to do that is to vote him out in 2020. No other reason is really "peaceful".

He could be forced from office by the will of the people, or through impeachment, or he can be voted out. 

Do you know how many Americans think their president is mentally stable?  Less than half. 

How about intelligent?

This is from TODAY 

A mere 51 percent of voters believe President Donald Trump is intelligent, a new low for a president currently facing accusations of mismanagement and a lack of fitness to serve from damning books and even people within his administration, according to a new poll released Monday.
The 51 percent mark represented a significant drop when compared to results just under two years ago, according to the . Forty-two percent of respondents answered they did not believe Trump to be intelligent.

Of course, like all of your polls, you fail to list the methodology. Let me help you with this one..A full 10 percent more democrats over Republicans. Liberals have no idea why they hate Trump, except he is not Hillary,

What is cute about your comment is that you think adding a few more percentage points of Republicans would make much of a difference. The percentage of people who identify as democrat, republican or independent varies from month to month and from time to time, but generally there are more democrats than republicans. If it is a 9 percent difference, i dont know. 

In the Quinnipac poll , 55% of Americans say Trump is not fit to be president. he doesnt meet a minimum standard, in their eyes, to hold the office. Do you really think adding 5% points more republicans would take the sting out of that?  60% believe Trump is dishonest. Well over half believe that the anonymous writer to the NYT is correct, that Trump administration officials are preventing him from damaging American interests. 

You and others here keep flailiing away desperate to defend this travesty. He's not a good guy. He has to go. Throw your lot in with Pence if you want, but trump has to go and he will go.

The ignorance of that comment is a clear an present danger to the lemmings who feel it is a perfectly healthy and reasonable comment to make.

I think the Botox might be leaking into her brain.   That or she has eyeliner poisoning .....

“Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?”  —  “Now will that get me in trouble?”

Shouldn't it? Just a little? I'm not saying criminally, just socially and culturally.

Donald Trump is not at all a great President in my book. Nor do I I think he is a truly decent person. But, these are MY personal OPINIONS.

However, I have no wish at all to see him dead of any assassination plot of any kind. Nor, do I revel in the idea of anyone making making any such suggestions or comments, even in jest. 

The assassinations of Presidents Lincoln and JFK were a truly disgraceful and tragic time for both our country and its people, and should never be repeated. 

If people don't like a President or any lawmaker at any level, then let their VOTE speak for them, not assassins. As they don't speak for all the American people. 

Just my own OPINION.

He isn't. And his presidency is like a Elephant in a china shop.

The thing about our system is we can overcome anything.

He isn't 100% bad, although he does have some major insecurity issues.
