In "Out West" (1947) Moe and Larry are mixing a potent cocktail designed to inebriate a villain. Moe accidentally adds paint to the concoction. When Larry calls Moe's attention to the mistake, what does Moe do? He adds paint remover to the mixture.

The sequence is at at 9:00 on the video.

primarily because he isn’t self-aware enough to realize he should...Trump normally prevaricates with abandon, attempting to gaslight us into believing we’re the ones with the problem. But on this occasion, he seemed self-aware. Finally, Trump seemed to realize that he was naked.” (Tom Boggioni)

Once upon a time one was able to Google for "miserable failure" and up would pop the Wikipedia page for George W Bush.

How about "Laughing Stock" and the #1 result be the Wikipedia page for Donald J Trump?

At the Correspondent's Dinner, when Obama told jokes at Donald's expense, one could see his head nearly explode. THAT may have been the event that cemented the plan to seek the Presidency, launch the racist Birther screeds, and undo each and every Obama initiative (including an infrastructure designed to combat pandemics).

Nothing makes him more dangerous than laughing at him.

I often wonder how history might have taken a different turn had Obama praised Trump, perhaps even asking him to stand up, take a bow and bask in the applause at the Correspondents' Dinner that night. It will likely be viewed by historians as the seminal moment in America's downfall.

This is a loser that only ran for President to try and destroy Obama's presidential legacy, as revenge for the humiliation at that press dinner. This boy ain't right in the head and I doubt ever was.

He's getting his jollies off stirring the shit at the moment. It is unlikely there will be anyone short of mother nature, karma, or god almighty who'll be able to give him his comeuppance on this one.

He is a local hero with a national following. He started holding The Sign at a busy intersection in Fort Worth in early 2017 and since then has traveled all over the country with The Sign.

I find him quite inspiring.

and see the results from around the globe to feel more sadness for our nation. Some of it is from the 2019 NATO summit and 2018 UN speech but here we go again.

As if we don't have enough depressing news with over 50K deaths from coronavirus.....
