She certainly would. We have people that make Groota look like a sweet little Girl Scout.

Pelosi said President Trump was welcome to prove his innocence. That says it all.

You are guilty under “woke” laws.

Yeah, 40 lashes and off to the re-education camp for me.

I can’t quite picture Trump sitting down to dinner in Galt’s Gulch with Hugh Akston and the boys. He is much more the Hank Reardon and Wyatt Ellis type. Fighting to the very end, because there is no “magic motor” that allows him to be above it all.

I agree with the sentiment, but Shampeachment reminded me more of Hank Rearden's non-plea.

I could definitely picture Trump giving Dagny that rich, profane tongue lashing that Midas Mulligan gave her for entering the Gulch via the back door when her plane crashed.

I like the sentiment, but that'll get you locked up nowadayze.

He is much more the Hank Reardon and Wyatt Ellis type.

I see him as a sort of Francisco d'Anconia - dynamiting the whole thing and putting "Brother, you asked for it" up in lights on the side of Trump Tower alongside a rude, one-fingered gesture.

Good point, all except pining after one girl for his whole life. :D

There’s a street named after him in Omaha, Nebraska. Home of Omaha Steaks. Maybe he’s a jolly rancher?

When I would walk to the chain link surrounding our compound at work, to meet with a visitor, I would carry a banana, If I had one.

Then make some remark about the limited imagination of our overseers. Or ask if they had some peanuts to swap.
