NOT anything. Nothing illegal or violent. I dunno, Trump didn't seem too perturbed by the violent and illegal killing of Jamal Khashoggi and even went on to praise Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman saying about him “I want to just thank you on behalf of a lot of people, and I want to congratulate you. You've done, really, a spectacular job.” If something illegal or violent happened to Trump, I'd be prepared to do the same that Trump did for others, say I was "very unhappy about it" and then later tell that person “I want to just thank you on behalf of a lot of people, and I want to congratulate you. You've done, really, a spectacular job.” Seems fair (and quite accurate) to me.

It is OUR job to protest, raise (legal) hell, and vote the muthafuckas OUT. That includes Trump, Mitch and the entire "god, gays, guns and greed" cabal. If we abdicate, we live w/the consequences.

Plenty of good people in politics have been killed, I wouldn't shed any tears if they took out one of the bad guys...and I am entitled to think that - as much as you may disapprove.

The problem with that is that those who follow him will then turn him into a martyr and glorify him after death.I'd far rather see him being humiliated than see a statue put up as a memorial to him ....good grief can you imagine that!!

What kind of bizarro world are we living in when Christian fundamentalists are bending over backwards to suck the president's dick for tweeting about cozying up to the Taliban? They like being screwed... Not missionary!

Trump being killed would turn him into a martyr, and energize his base and the GOP and they all need to go. I disagree with violence as the answer anyway, but I definitely do not want someone to hand them a get out of jail free card right now. The entire party is complicit and needs to answer for that by being voted out so we can work to fix the loopholes we found while they sat on their asses or even voted to help him. Eta: LOL should have kept reading. Just sometimes you feel so strongly about something you want to get it out right the ! What @dottyscrapper said.

It's not just my opinion. IT IS THE LAW I don't quite understand? are you saying that no-one ever breaks (American) laws? or that people who are members of the TALIBAN will follow American laws? If so, then I have some pretty shocking news for you... Because that's what my initial sarcastic/joke comment was about - Trump meeting with the Taliban in secret and then he's never seen again, but suddenly you're off on some tangent about that not being the law WTF? Firstly I was clearly being sarcastic, BUT I also don't think it's out of the range of possibility that some of those extreme foreign groups might assassinate Trump if they got the opportunity. So while I was being sarcastic, I was also legitimately making a comment that this planned "secret meeting with the Taliban" (if true) wasn't the most well thought out on Trump's part. Finally *if* something like that did happen, I wouldn't be losing any sleep over him meeting such an end. None of that has anything to do with any current American laws.

I guess the whole “we don’t negotiate with terrorists” is out the window now?

What's really sad is that it appears that some hard-working diplomats have been in talks for almost a year and have made some progress. Whatever common ground was found, whatever goodwill was built, is now blown up.
We will either have troops in Afghanistan for years to come, or we will make a sloppy withdrawal leaving a power vacuum for Iran to move into, and more instability and misery for the Afghani people.

The more I think about it, the more I think he is full of shit.
MAYBE the leader of Afghanistan might come here, but why the hell would we give access of one of our more secure place where the president goes (Camp David) to terrorists?
Please come and check out our security. See where our checkpoints are and where you can exploit the weaknesses in our security. And while you are here, go ahead and try placing some sort of spying device in multiple locations. Surely an administration this dumb won't find them all.

linkCNN... ”The decision to invite Taliban leaders and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to Camp David was made a week ago in a meeting with Trump and national security officials, a person familiar with the matter told CNN. Trump, who has been pressuring his team to develop drawdown plans, had grown discouraged by the peace talks after being told by national security adviser John Bolton and Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and foreign policy hawk, the emerging plan put too much trust in the Taliban. Trump told his team he would be better positioned to do the negotiating himself, the official said. The location was a subject of dispute inside the administration but ultimately Trump signed off on Camp David, cognizant of its history in hosting talks with foreign leaders.”

Better positioned? As in head up his ass? How do these people not laugh in his face?

I think she’s referring to the fact it’s against the law to threaten the life of a US President, even in jest. It’s not protected speech. I believe Kathy Griffith had a visit from the secret service over the whole bloody head incident.
