Notably - though - those idiots

A) failed to ensure the structural integrity of the gallows, and  
B) did not tie an actual noose knot; their “knot” would have failed before the “gallows” even had time to collapse.

I suppose both points are good things.

So this actually makes a lot of sense to me, as a frame of mind to approach the Trump administration.

When Trump’s latest atrocity and hypocrisy hit the news, it’s utterly pointless to think “what if Obama had done that”. Not that it shouldn’t be reported and published as widely as possible. But as far expectations go, it’s gonna be closer to “what if the Nazi regime in occupied France was caught doing that” to “what if Obama had been caught doing that”
