You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

1. PERFECT!!!

2. LOL

3. In one memorable scene, the bad guy is knocked onto the frying surface . . .

. . . followed by sizzling sounds.

Freebie and the Bean (1975)

[2naSalit]

4. Yup!

[Javaman]

5. while I agree...

I think the orange asshole is so desperate that, after he throws the hot fry grease at his pursuers, he then cuts the gas line in a final act of defiance, taking himself out as well as all of us.

that's what worries me.

12. He loves himself too much for that.

If he does, it will be because of an idiotic accident. Like forgetting gas is flammable or fire burns.

Psychopaths think that they're bulletproof. Plus, they don't believe that they have done anything wrong. They're oblivious.

6. No this the old cowboy gunfight movie where somebody runs out of bullets and throws the pistol.

N/t

[Hugin]

7. Hear, hear! n/t

[berksdem]

8. Am I the only one

thinking he somehow wiggles out of all this just like all of his other crimes? I would love to see this go scorched earth but I am not holding onto any type of hope this changes anything.

9. Yeah, well, you do it your way

You have a lot of faith in “never”. Nobody escapes with anything forever. It’s just a fact of life.

[Gimpyknee]

10. And yet Trump is not behind bars.

[NJCher]

11. Out of the presidency

Is the immediate goal.

[berksdem]

16. So, when are you going to look at your Magic 8 Ball

and tell us when this is going to happen?

[littlemissmartypants]

13. He's only a man. Everyone dies eventually.

I'm more concerned about the damage to my country.

[niyad]

20. It is fascinating that some of your posts seem determined to paint his

actions, indeed, his very existence, in the most positive terms possible. An effort to be didactically correct? To be contrarian? To amuse yourself? One is inclined to wonder.

[berksdem]

15. Thanks for the advice

and no need to be an j-off. But, so far, he has escaped everything - so please tell me when he finally is held accountable?

[NJCher]

17. touchy touchy

No date. But it will happen and way before his term is up.

[berksdem]

18. how long have we been saying this?

hold your breath...

[littlemissmartypants]

14. Attention is our most vital tool.

Whatever one focuses on, they strengthen.

[pacalo]

21. It's a bit different now; he's gotten on the magats' nerves.

If they put the pressure on Fiberace’s cover-uppers in congress, perhaps the numbers favoring his impeachment will grow.

You have to keep trying.

[Torchlight]

19. This stink is sticking to him hard

Every mountain is unsurmountable until someone climbs it. Every conman has a 100% success rate until they don't.

As things stand today, I just don't see him lasting until end of term (and to ensure clarity, that's just a guess on my part, a hunch, speculation... I'm not demanding anyone hold their breath, or attempting to predict the future)
