I like the way BIAD worked the ghost of Teddy Roosevelt in there! Roosevelt was a bastard, too, but he was a tough bastard, and OUR bastard. I saw, out in the wilds of the internet, where someone else compared Trump to Roosevelt after he came back up defiant immediately after being shot.
I gotta tell ya true - I'd have likely been too busy pissin' all over myself to have demonstrated that sort of defiance. I like to THINK not, but am all too aware of my limitations!
