I'm really disturbed by liberals adopting the sort of violent rhetoric the right has been using. Why sink to their level?

Well, John. I'd say some things can't be voted out of...
and it not only can, it is - happening here.
Yes, because we know from our resident right wingers that they can grasp a dandelion seed and float across a field and disappear over the horizon.
They need only one smear suggesting a left wing lie, to justify all of Trump's thousands of lies.
They need only one smear of Kamala Harris, to justify Trump's many molestations of women.
That said, I was kind of hoping that Trump would get hit by lightning on the 4th. It would have been a lifetime of surreal.

No equation of the dead Duce's fate and our current president, please. As Michelle Obama said, we should go high. Not to mention the OP is the kind of thing the Secret Service might glom on to.

Next election, vote against EVERY Republican, for EVERY office, at EVERY level. Be patriotic, save the country.
I wasn't referring to conservatives on this forum, I was referring to our current president.
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/10/u...y-clinton.htmlWILMINGTON, N.C. — Donald J. Trump on Tuesday appeared to raise the possibility that gun rights supporters could take matters into their own hands if Hillary Clinton is elected president and appoints judges who favor stricter gun control measures.
Repeating his contention that Mrs. Clinton wanted to abolish the right to bear arms, Mr. Trump warned at a rally here that it would be “a horrible day” if Mrs. Clinton were elected and got to appoint a tiebreaking Supreme Court justice.
“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

I've got a feeling about this whole Epstein thing. Some big names are going down.

Yup.
I wonder how [redacted] is going to justify forcible rape on a minor child?
Will the evangelicals clamor to stop her abortion because she is bearing the Messiah, The Chosen One, here to guide us along the path to eternal want and dissolute, wastrel cruelty?
Probably.
Although anyone who has read the forum at all realizes I'm not a fan of Mr Trump, he's not nearly as bad as Mussolini.

I'm not so sure I agree. Circumstances differed. While our checks and balances are imperfect, they tend to keep Trump moderately at bay. Our press is freer than Italy's at the time Mussolini's censorship was in full swing and thoroughly controlled by the Fascists. We should recall that Mussolini's rise to power was preceded by his time as a columnist. Like Trump, he switched philosophies first being a "socialist" but then. see sawing to facism. He was well aware that reducing the role of the free press was one of his most important missions. Almost all of his behaviors find a mirror in Trump. The real difference can be said to be a matter of degrees, but one can easily speculate that with more power, Trump would devolve to more Draconian and authoritarian rule.
The differences are not so much between the men but rather about the time, place and context. It's impossible to say with assurance just how far Trump would go had he freer reign, but he doesn't, at least not yet. The parallels are inescapable.

yay! more assassination fantasies!
what word do you use to describe hanging the president from a lamp post?
atomic wedgie?
Thank You, Keith.
The OP is deranged.
Certainly not for lack of ambition.he's not nearly as bad as Mussolini.

Oh, I don't disagree. Given a free hand and enough power, Trump might be as bad, or maybe even worse. With Narcissistic Personality Disorder and a vestigial conscience at best, the potential is certainly there for some very, very bad behavior. What he does in cases where he can get away with it is instructive; child abuse as official federal policy, to mention only one example. Two things restrain him - the institutions of the United States; separation of powers, a reasonably functional democracy, a free press, etc. - and his utter blithering incompetence; no attention span, ignorance of history, horrible management skills, and a raging out-of-control case of Dunning-Kruger. There's also Trump's lack of convictions or political philosophy. Mussolini believed in something beyond the greater glory of Benito; as far as I can tell, Mr. Trump mostly doesn't. Aside from a desire to look grand and glorious, and a visceral hatred of immigrants, (probably related to his pathological fear of contamination) there isn't much there.
But again, he hasn't been nearly as bad as Mussolini.

To be clear, I do not wish to see Trump assassinated or even mildly physically damaged. The police shouldn't bang his head on the car if they put him into the back seat in handcuffs; they shouldn't "rough him up a little" if they put him into a paddywagon. I want Trump's actions and directions - some of which were described by Mueller in great detail - investigated honestly and thoroughly, with any resulting consequences being those mandated under your Constitution. Period. And failing that, I want him utterly trounced in the 2020 Presidential election - both in terms of Electoral College and Popular Vote. And subjected to prosecution (if that's where the evidence points) for whatever crimes put on ice because of that Department of Justice "policy" about not prosecuting a sitting POTUS.

This whole thread is rather disturbing.
I for one cannot support, mob rule, Kangaroo Courts, lynching or assassination of anybody or even them being physically damaged(however mild).
Rather taken aback to see the views of some on this thread.
Left to wonder if they are Republicans, Democrats, liberals, far right wingers or far left wingers.
Nevertheless regardless of whom they support I cannot support the 'hang him from a lamp post' mentality or attitude.
