I would say something like martial law and the military taking over is the right time to get shoot violent, maybe just before.

What ever happened to Nazi puncher? Hopefully he was arrested

Lest you all gloat about having caught Senator Paul in a gotcha, let's just agree to disagree that things have reached the stage of "tyranny," yet. When they start cancelling elections and imposing martial law for no good reason, just a general loss of democracy, then we have tyranny.

Surely it can't be that hard to change the Democratic Party's rules so that no one gets Bernied (or is it Hillaried) again?

Man if I were on the opposite side of the spectrum I'd have been spitting fire this past spring when Bernie would be doing better than Hillary yet Hillary gets all the delegates...

There is only one person to blame for today's shooting: the shooter.

Just throwing that out there.

I retract my remark about laws for thee, not for me. While that is true of liberals in general, especially those of the authoritarian variety, this shooter does not represent the Democratic party, and I don't think anyone in their right mind is blaming Trump for this one.

If he means the mainstream media then it's hard to disagree actually

CNN is reporting that Mueller is investigating Donald Trump for obstruction of justice.

Interesting this got leaked after it has become clear there is no evidence for this.

I hope Trump does fire Mueller. Comey and Mueller, don't let the door hit you on your way out!

Nope.

He also said, "Just look at social media."

Todd doesn't even pretend to be a neutral, straight news reporter any more. I used to like him.

Firing him would create a bigger scandal than anything he'll come up with.

It would be scandalous only among those who already hate Trump.

The Media have been breathless with Trump's imminent political demise ever since he came down the escalator two years ago.

Trump has gone 71 years (happy birthday to him, by the way) without breaking the law; I'm sure he isn't starting now.

You forget though that you have a bunch of Republicans though who also hate trump who would like any excuse to take him out. You have to play to Congress too not just the people.

Those on the right are pretty pissed about this. You should read some of the comments at Breitbart. I won't link them because I disapprove strongly.

I'm downright moderate compared to most of the Breitbart commenters.

You should all be so lucky to have such a reasonable, thoughtful, moderate Trump supporter in your midst, fellow POGgers.

Exactly right that there are some Republicans in Congress who hate Trump. I care not what they think, nor what they would think of Trump doing the right thing and firing Mueller for pursuing an unwarranted witch hunt with a supporting staff of big money Democratic donors.

The majority of Republicans in Congress would face a primary challenge faster than you can say Jack Robinson if they came out against Trump in any way, fashion, or form. Do not doubt me on this point.

Maybe you won't doubt that point so much once you realize that the typical Republican congressman supporting Ryan for speaker won't wake up the typical Republican "always-votes" voter, but ganging up on the man they just put in most definitely WOULD. Ryan's not dumb. There's a reason he hasn't been very hard on Trump.
