Ohhh, I like that one...I'll poach that word for word!
You can also spice things up with "gut you like a fish"
I do believe I've used that a time or two...
And sfetter is right to be concerned...I think bad elements are throughout all bureaucracies...there can be no doubt of that...and some speculate this engineered virus (and it was engineered, in Communist China) and released intentionally or accidentally (prematurely released)...was specifically made to target the Trump Admin.
Like 'Soup the onslaught of overt and covert hatred against Trump even before taking office is legion and unrelenting and no threat can be discounted.
Hence, I think the decision prompting
President Trump to roll out of WR for an impromptu greeting of supporters outside that has all DemCom's ranting and raving...a little I'm still here, I'm still in charge...I'm not giving up squat moment.
