I don’t know if I’d take Mythbusters’ opinion on anything as accurate. When I was living in Reading, PA I had a friend living in a row house where the back of the house was right at the alley – no back yard. He had to leave the basement window open for ventilation and some of the younger local inhabitants thought it was great fun to piss through the open window. He ran some copper wire around the frame and attached it to a Model-T spark coil and 6-volt battery – high voltage, no current. He lurked in the basement to see the fun and it didn’t take long before a pair of feet stopped, a zipping sound was heard then, tinkle-tinkle-tinkle – OW! The victim was knocked on his butt, moaning and pissing on himself until his buddies dragged him away. In that case, at least, the stream conducted just fine. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > That’s the key. Occupy White House himself is incapable of believing that he is at fault for anything, that he has ever made a mistake. Those bankruptcies? Other people’s fault. Those divorces? Ex-sposes’ fault. Unconstitutional orders blocked? Damn liberals’ and “fake new” outfits’ fault. One day - probably one day soon - Trump is going to be confronted with a pretty significant situation that requires real problem-solving skills. He has no ability to solve problems; he has an infinite amount of ability and willingness to make them much, much worse. As you say, he simply does not reflect or accept responsibility for anything. When a major crisis does finally happen, he will most likely mishandle that situation. But whereas someone like George W Bush at least attempted to try to solve problems as he went along, Trump will double down and insist that his critics are the problem and that they must be silenced. > [@Monty](#): > > His supporters either don’t know he’s incoherent or they simply don’t care because the son of a bitch shares their bogoted ideas. Could be both. I think a lot of his supporters believe that the federal government is essentially unimportant and that it doesn’t matter if you put a little spider monkey in the oval office. They probably honestly believe that he can’t do any harm as long as he doesn’t increase their taxes and expand the federal government. It’s this reflexive strain of anti-intellectualism that they appreciate in a guy like Trump. He wears his willful repudiation of intellectual experts and institutional skepticism on his sleeve and they love him for it. ---

I was planning to quote those both post and make some kind of corrected version in Trump-style. "His supporters either don’t know he’s incoherent or they simply don’t care because the son of a bitch shares their bogoted ideas.

Guys, I simply cannot get behind torture, even of the Short-Fingered Vulgarian. I’d be happy with a nice simple “painless” execution. Gas chamber or electric chair would be fine, but a guillotining would really bring in the TV audience. ---

Yes, he was already a local nuisance (and laughing stock) in NYC in the 70s and 80s. We all knew about him, as “That Asshole With The Bankruptcies Who Won’t Pay His Debts”. Daddy was always bailing him put too. He was seen as a liar, a cheat, a thief and a fool.
