Donald Trump is that cliched movie trope where the bad guy...

...seemingly having the good guy on the ropes, launches into an inexplicably long and detailed confession of all the bad things he’s done and then an inexplicably long and detailed explanation of how he’s going to kill the good guy, which would plausibly allow time for the good guy to plot out an escape plan.

Appreciate it.

Liked the trope reference, reinforced by the rhythm of:
that cliched movie trope
the good guy on the ropes

Romney had a bit of that self culpability/destructive trait, that traitortrump has in abundance - fortunately for the rest of us.

On an otherwise non-newsworthy day, I'd like to incriminate myself, members of my family and others, and admit guilt to a felony and perhaps borderline treason.

Because no one else reads these things.

don out.
