Shouldn’t that be reserved for Devin Nunes?

To err is Trumpian; to forgive, bovine.

I’m thinking of the [Farkus beating](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_agOnqeEeXw&t=155s) scene from _A Christmas Story_, specifically the end where everybody shrugs and walks off. Having lost his power, Scut Farkus _is never seen again_ in the movie.

He did show up later on the Fox TV show _Titus_, though.

Plus another 124 credits to date. I would hardly put Donnie Two-scoops in the same league Zack Ward is in as an actor.

Trump, defending self against [federal indictment](https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/08/politics/trump-indictment-truth-social-classified-documents/index.html) (paraphrased): I’m innocent! Innocent! Innocent!

I find it hard to believe that liar was innocent of anything after taking his very first breath.

No, wait; it’s the other thing.

Oddly, links for me usually open in a new tab, but not that one.

Now, back to being pissed off by Trump.

I’m almost expecting Trump to try an ‘affluenza’ defense when this gets to trial.
