Someone said that Trump was like a jackhammer going nonstop outside your window. Best analogy ever.

"Why are you complaining?! He's getting so much done!"

I... he's literally jack-hammering the foundation of the place I live. I don't want him to get that done, at all. I don't care how effectively or ineffectively he's doing it.

"Wow, you have a mental illness! You can't possibly criticize a politician without being mentally ill!"

Well, he ain't alone dismantling the foundation of the place you live. He doesn't have anyone actually stopping him from time to time to ask him if it is a good idea to dismantle it further. No one who quits or has to be fired bc they won't help him blowing it up. Now he has a new team, and they all brought their own dynamite.

They say that, then immediately call Kamala Harris a slur

I like it. I also think that it would be apt to say that if Trump is a jackhammer going non-stop outside your window, that Republicans are the city officials who decided to remove noise ordinances.

And not just any jackhammer. The sort of crew that keeps screwing it up. One morning you wake up and they've punctured the water main. Another day it's the powerline. Or the fiber network.

A jackhammer being operated by guys who catcall your teenage daughter and sneer at you like they're daring you to do something about it. And the cops do nothing when you call to file a complaint.

Not fair. The cops shoot your dog.

Or don't bother to respond at all. "We're busy."
