He's like teflon .... Nothing sticks.
But once there is a minor scratch, it will become completely worthless in no time at all. Now it's not IF but WHEN that scratch happens
I'd say he's the opposite of teflon - he's so fundamentally dirty that it's impossible to make him worse than he already is. If who he is doesn't move the needle then nothing else will make the difference.
We can hope. But everyday I lose more and more faith in my fellow humansβ¦
Theres been more than scratches. Seems like multiple times a day theres a new thing, just one of which would have been enough to sink someone's entire career 20 years ago.
Im not sure if its due to constant access to unlimited news, a sign of the times we live in, or simply him being untouchable.
who'd have thunk that all nixon needed to do was..... ignore the impeachment and move on.
