According to media reports, President Trump has removed the entire leadership structure of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), previously run by Samantha Power.
This is not necessarily a domestic issue. Those who walk the deepest political weeds well understand that USAID is the cover agency for the interventionist efforts of the CIA. USAID is the agency silo that coordinates the meddling in foreign elections, organizes the revolutions and political opposition of those deemed out of alignment with global democratic norms, funds the NGOs who do the ground operations, and generally seeks to replace foreign leaders.
President Trump has just removed the entire leadership structure of the USAID enterprise, approximately 60 government officials. You can bet that nationalist leaders of foreign countries are smiling now while Brussels (EU Commission) is left wondering who will pay for the foot soldiers.
(Via Politico) – […] The order — sent via email to members of the senior executive and senior Foreign Service — was issued close to the end of the business day Monday and was effective immediately, according to two current USAID officials and three former USAID officials told of the communication. It comes as USAID and the State Department have been ordered to impose halts on a vast number of humanitarian and related programs around the world.
The decision appears to affect nearly every career staffer who holds a top leadership role at the agency, at least in Washington — around 60 officials, the current and former officials said.
The cuts have left many offices within the agency entirely devoid of senior non-political leadership. The entire cadre of leaders who run USAID’s bureau for global health, for example, was put on leave, according to two of the officials.
“This is a huge morale hit,” said a former senior Trump administration official who was also told of the move. “This is the leadership of the agency. This is like taking out all the generals. I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it.” (read more)
Cleaning the Augean stables means what?
The metaphor of “cleaning the Augean stables” refers to undertaking a monumental and seemingly impossible task. In Greek mythology, one of Hercules’ Twelve Labors was to clean the Augean stables in a single day.
These stables housed thousands of cattle and had not been cleaned for years, meaning they were piled high with dung. Hercules managed to accomplish this task by redirecting two rivers to flow through the stables, thus washing away all the filth in one fell swoop.
When someone uses this metaphor, they’re typically describing a task that:
Is extremely large in scope or scale.
Has been neglected for a long time, resulting in a huge mess or problem.
Requires innovative or drastic measures to solve.
Might seem impossible or overwhelming at first glance.
The phrase is often used in contexts like politics, business, or personal life to describe situations where someone needs to tackle corruption, inefficiency, or any form of accumulated chaos.
Thanks grok AI
The Rivers Truth and Courage are sweeping mucha mierda away as we strive to blog it all.
Does this feel similar to when you try to add commentary, during one of his rallys, Maquis?
Sure seems that way, to me!
Dang near!
Epic Times.
This Addiction To The Truth feels feels pretty good, I must admit..
Its getting me off of hopium.
Manure matters!!!
Excerpts from Laura Hillenbrand’s book Seabiscuit below.
The Herculean Augean stables moment became a reality during a flood at the Tijuana horse track in the early 1900’s. Manure at the track had been piled for years and was as large as the grandstand. Then the rains came.
“Moving as if animated with destructive desire, it gurgled down the backstretch, banked around the far turn, bore out in the homestretch, and mowed down the entire grandstand. It made a beeline for the Monte Carlo casino, crashing straight through its walls and cracking it wide open. Then, like a mighty shit Godzilla, it slid out to sea and vanished.”

Take care of your crap or it will take care of you.
I LOVE here writing!!! Also Unbroken….so mesmerizing.
Thanks for posting this!
“Cleaning the Augean stables means what?”
Means: “Shyt just got real”…….
Don’t want to be downstream of that!
No, you don’t haha! I see what you did there, Maquis.
The Legendary Hero PDJT is well on his way to replicating all 12 Labors of Hercules.
Not only is he Cleaning the Augean Stables,
He is slaying the many-headed hydra of the Deep State,
He is slaying the toxic, man-eating and foul Stymphalian birds of the mainstream media,
and he will soon bring us back the Golden Apples of American prosperity that were stolen away to the world’s end by unfair trade.
One of my favorite sayings lately……
President Trump is cleaning out the
Augean Stable …
it feeds the critters in the Swamp!
Clean the stable…..Drain the Swamp
Then find a way to get rid of the
Rats and Roaches that are in DC.
🪳 🪳 🐁 🐀 🐀 🪳 🪳
Those critters are the worst in DC.😖
They seem to know where to
hide…they just keep coming back!
😉 😉 😉
👍 👍 👍 🤣 🤣 🤣
it also means that Hercules was expected to go at it with conventional tools and methods. Hercules did nothing of the sort. Neither has our POTUS Trump.
Same idea as cutting the Godian Knot.
One is impossible because it would take so long. The other is impossible because it’s too complex.
Both ideas have been pushed on We the People as a means of demoralization and acceptance of the current mess.
POTUS Trump has demonstrated that “impossible” is not a deterrent for him or anyone who is of the same mindset.
OMG! I can’t believe all the good news!!
USAID
Dirty DOJ lawyers being fired
Acosta gone
Money spigot turned off
Water turned on in CA
ICE rounding up criminals
Withdrawing from WHO

It’s barely been a week!!!!!
UNBELEVABLE!!!
Security clearances and protective details yanked for Bolton, etc. and now Miley,…your list barely scratches the surface,…but no criticism of you, Scarlet.
Its just too much, to fast to keep up with.
And, if this is how WE are feeling it, just imagine how the enemy is experiencing this!
3 months after the election, they were STILL reeling, and deluding themselves they were going to be able to thwart PDJT this term, the way they did his first term, and playing their petty little games, like putting the flag at 1/2 staff.
And bam, boom, zap and pow! He has them reeling and discombobulated, and its only round ONE!
The flag flew at full staff.
I think that Dutchman meant that they WANTED to put the flag at 1/2 staff.
I was told that Speaker Johnson ordered the Capital to be at full staff and Biden ordered to flag to be at 1/2 staff on the White House.
Bolton too!! I didn’t know about that. Reference?
What about Mad Dog Mattis? All those other Brutus betrayers from Era 45?
http://www.Google.com can help you with a lot of research. Try it sometime.

Lyndsey Graham calling J6 pardons a mistake. And now wants Trump investigated for removing Bolton’s security detail.

Tillis just sealed his fate in NC.
Shanahan is growing on me.
Same! Mama Bear with a cub wounded by Big Pharma….look out!! Wouldn’t bet against her, TBH! Kinda hoping that Kamala DOES run for Governor of Cali in 2026 and Nicole runs against her!! Wouldn’t THAT be fun to watch?! Bahahaha!!
OMG, I’ve been cautiously wishing NS would run for CA governor 2026.
Each time I hear her speak I am impressed with her mix of smart and heart. OTOH, I got fooled by that mix in 2008 when I shoulda known better, especially since I made my living on “past performance is the best predictor of future performance.”
So, I want to know a lot more about her. Meantime I applaud her and thank Sundance for the amplification.
Her statement may be anecdotal evidence of more Americans being red-pilled and disgusted with the grifters. Derps.😁
In the 80’s with Reagan, we had Mornin’ in America. Now Trump has handed us a coffee in the drive-thru and the world’s eyes are being opened. Think Robin Williams- Good Morning America!!!
Double shot espresso baby!
Extra credit for Acosta.
Not enough dirty DOJ lawyers. I want to see MAGA janators. lol
Herculean!
I just noticed that subtle gesture by Viktor Orban. 🙂
yes, thats the “Mickey salute”…
What about the gesture by Viktor Orban? What was it?
Look again at the above embedded photo. Look closely at the photo of Orban in the upper left of the photo… 😉
one-finger salute to Samatha Power.
“Oh,..FIREWORKS! How lovely!” lol
I saw The Patriot for the first time 2 years ago. Outstanding movie.
NY Dist Court judge has already issued a TRO on the funding freeze. I’m sure Trump and team were expecting that.
Won’t last five minutes. So lame these tactics.
just ignore it … Biden already set precedent …
The federal judge is the daughter of Pakistani immigrants and appointed by Biden.
It’s really remarkable luck that virtually 95% of the Lawfare cases against President Trump and his associates are always “RANDOMLY” assigned to an Obama or Biden appointed third world judge when nearly 50% of the judges are Republican appointments. Judge assignments are tightly guarded on a “SECRET” wheel rotation. Are the district court clerks committing fraud with the participation of Lawfare attorneys?
Why is that, I ask myself?
That would be an excellent topic for a new DOJ lawyer to research, wouldn’t it? :^)
Price is right final wheel spin !
The exact same bureaucrats responsible for those “random” assignments of trial judges also pitch in during election time to oversee ballot counting.
‘Nuff said.
Why, as a matter of fact, they are the exact same ladies!
Bought and paid for.
The President has Plenary powers on who he fires. Some idiot NY District Court judge does not get to tell the President who he can fire.
they don’t care about who gets fired. They care about keeping the dark money flowing for their dirty work. IF those people were fired and replaced by fellow travelers they would have been happy. They are afraid that those people who were fired will be replaced by MAGA constitutionalists.
Personally, I want the firings to be in advance of the agency closing down. Interesting trick of the fed gov is to stop funding a program so that it is essentially gone even while it technically still exists.
I think Trump wants it to go to court. Impoundment is the issue. Congress took away from executive in 70’s. Now is the time to have scotus return that power to the executive.
Upside of win is to change federal government forever. Downside of loss is back to status quo.
There is no way back to the status quo. Part of the order is to put all the programs into a database. Many of the programs are “off book.” no federal judge has jurisdiction over the federal budget.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The hits just keep comin’! So great to be alive!
What do they hope to accomplish? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 They want to tear down the house!!!!
That was a very funny statement!
USAID is even worse than most realize:
USAID Prosecutors, not Soros Prosecutors?
We were always told that George Soros is funding DA races across the United States. Well, it turns out that they are also funded by the TIDE CENTER. As Mike Benz shows, the Tide Center is funded by USAID. In other words it is the Deep State / IC that was funding and commanding these prosecutors. In other words, it was our own government.
Another reason all of these people need to go.
I have a feeling we are going to see a lot more of this as Trump strikes the pinata.
George never uses HIS money. He uses OURS!
That’s why he never runs dry.
The great castration in full swing.
The mission of USAID is to take the tax-money paid by poor people living in rich nations and hand it over to rich people living in poor nations.
Viktor’s hand says it all.
Reminds me of that meme with all h*ll breaking loose and stuff blowing up behind President Trump as he passes by
Run fast and break things ……..made Zuckerberg billions.
upkeep high is because career politicians from pelosi to rommney are not cut own wealth by half to support proxy against russia or defend daca or stay in syria

💥Does/has the funding for NED stopped???💥💥
Is NED classified as NGO?
NED works in tandem with USAID.
Victoria Nuland and cronies on Board of Directors.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the USAID employees
would just go to NED….hang out there to plot and
plan. 🤬🤬🤬
When that happens….
I will be dancing 💃 💃 and 🎊 🎉 🎊 🎊 🎉
I hope they do lose their funding as well, as they are neck deep in it:
The Grayzone debates National Endowment for Democracy VP on group’s CIA ties
The Grayzone caused ‘biggest PR fiasco in history’ for US govt regime change arm, leaked emails reveal
“The Grayzone’s publication of an embarrassing phone call with a National Endowment for Democracy VP triggered an institution-wide meltdown at the US government’s regime change laboratory. Following the call, the group’s founding president privately admitted the “fiasco” exposed major “problems beneath the polished surface.”
“Now, leaked emails obtained by The Grayzone reveal the organization has since descended into chaos, with two senior officials fired due to the fiasco, and remaining staff engaged in civil war between the neocon old guard and the “woke” new generation hired to replace them.”
https://thegrayzone.com/2024/07/30/grayzone-pr-fiasco-us-govt-regime-change-leaked-emails/
That is an amazing story just in terms of the incompetence and ignorance.
I follow Grayzone…great investigative reporting
and journalism. I remember when they had the
story on. I almost felt sorry for the NED Representative…
almost.
Brian Berletic did podcast recently about NED.
I like Brian because he always provides links

I don’t think Boeing and Raytheon can crate enough jobs for all these people. Perhaps META could hire them as coders.
There’s a McDonald’s that has an opening at the fry station… 😆
If Donald Trump can work at McDonald’s frying potatoes and then a couple of months later be elected President of the USA then surely they can use his career path for inspiration.
Learn to Coal!!
There are today 450,000 job openings in the American construction industry. For some of them, no experience is needed. Just show up on time and pass a drug test. Others require quite a bit of intelligence and experience.
A job for everyone, and they’ll help build up America, which will be a new experience for many of them.
When President Trump reschedules Cannabis, millions of Americans in 2/3 of the States (roughly) will be able to have jobs and be able to drive cars legally again with cannabis metabolites in their systems!!
Contamination Does Not Equal Intoxication!!
Reschedule Cannabis Yesterday if you want this Republic back to work!!
Deschedule.!
Freedom Is the issue.!
No, the destruction of an entire generation is the issue. Drop the pot, now. It makes you stoooooopid. And useless.
Absolutely not. Pot has destroyed California. Never get between a pot head and his pot, because they get frog brain crazy an start lying just like Ligertown.
Cannabis eases my pain and gives me my dignity back. Not my problem if retards abuse it to get high. Meth, cocaine, heroin and Democrats destroyed Carnage-fornia.
You just lost them at the drug test.
There are a lot of crops that will need pickers now that all the illegals are going back home.

Trump is wreaking havoc – just as we hoped and voted for. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
Takes a junk yard dog to clean the Augean stables. Woof.
Anyone who fights these actions and wins can be reinstated, and transferred to an office in Utqiagvik, Alaska. (our northernmost town, above the artic circle)
Why not Nuuk?
🥶
Yikes! More winning! USAID is a bad bad agency. Shut it down
Billions kept in Tresury.. winning
Samantha Power= evil troublemaker. Caused untold damage around the world. I hope she was fired.
She quit ahead of time I read somewhere.
Sammy jumped ship on January 20th.
If they find something prosecutable on her….no place to hide.
Imagine how huge this is to the rest of the world that the US is out of the assassin and regime change business. I think this will have huge ramifications on our standing on the planet.
Our President is offering Federal workers a buy out, uf they resign by Feb 6, while reiterating he expects all Federal workers to be in their office not working from home.
8 months – quite a generous one at that……
Also says there’s no guarantee that any position is safe if they don’t accept the offer.
A ‘the carrot or the stick’ question.
I thought you may be kidding but you’re not. Here are some of the details.
https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2025/01/trump-reportedly-will-offer-buyouts-all-2-million-federal-workers/402571/?oref=ge-home-top-story
I remember massive RIFs (Reduction In Force) just like this in the post-Cold War armed forces. Very generous to offer a separation package. Welcome to our world, b*tches.
If they take the buyout they will be paid through the end of the Govt’s fiscal year.
Left unstated (but should be very clearly understood) is that if they don’t take the buyout their position might be eliminated in the next FY budget. Either way they should not expect to be in government employment October 1st.
Gosh, they have so many transferable skills, their next job should be so easy to find.
Blogging TDS drivel all day because they work from home, demonstrates they have keyboarding skills. Finding new funding sources is a given. Working without supervision – a forte.
Being good enough for government work, will turn many a CEO head to get them on their team.
If they must show up at the office, we will suddenly see a huge drop off on internet trolls. Work at home and they spend all day blogging and trashing Trump.
Guys I know at CBP said they all got the ‘deferred resignation’ offer letter in emails either the afternoon or evening of the 28th.
8 months’ severance.
Official resignation, Sept 30th.
It’s a ‘limited time’ offer – good only to Feb 6th.
The NTEU (National Treasury Employees Union) is urging members NOT to sign the letter, claiming it’s a ‘scare tactic’.
Yeah, well if I was a FedGov worker doing the ‘bunny slipper commute’ each day… I’d be scared, too.
Perhaps Elon can supply the names of Government Officials that demanded X censor certain content.
Would love to see that group Sh*t-Canned on a Friday night!!!!
Many of those petty tyrants had an eop.gov email address, meaning they were Biden Admin political staff. They were all gone by 20 Jan, off to nonprofits, NGOs and other organizations that just had all of their funding cut.
Guess who is getting the boot first in all of those seditious organizations? #LOL
(Don’t worry, they’ll all be soon back in the employ of the USG at a medium-security correctional facility making office products for sub-minimum wage over the next several years.)
Ah yes the new budget is coming up on March 14th.
RED LETTER Day!!
Pass the Winnamins!!!
Always MAGA 👊👊❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻
Tomorrow is day 10. We have 10 times more of this just to get to day 100.
Trump has made the jump to light speed.
Light speed?
No.

“I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it.”
Stop funding our enemies and performing color revolutions?
Awesome!!!! Now lock down their security clearance!
Notice how FOX is NOT sharing all of the wonderful things that POTUS is doing, not bringing out the analysts to share the good that is happening.
FOX represents the IC and those pretending to be conservative patriots. They don’t want us admiring or cheering Trump fully. They can’t cover it up, but let just a little bit of news out of the bag.
POTUS is not just passively draining the swamp, he is pumping it out, dredging it , pouring DERP glow to expose the swamp creatures, and disinfecting it.
Looks like Jacqui Heinrich has decided to button her top for this news broadcast departing from her show at todays press conference. I don’t trust her or Fox for a minute.

USAID is the organization that paid Musk to give the Ukraine military access to Star Link for communication purposes during the current war with Russia.
And many many many many many many many many other things. Thanks for your pinpoint concern though.
USAID has been funding most, if not all, of Ukraine’s media which lies and spreads propaganda with complete censorship of content. They are having splodey heads, begging for individual donations.
Loving it! Loooing over due.
MOAR!
I never ever tire of hearing about government employees lose their jobs.

With luck, many of these people will be arrested tonight in these countries.
They should act quickly before they can flee.
Was at Logan in Boston a couple months ago and saw that wretched woman, Samantha Powers, with her son. I didn’t say anything to her but because of my CTH education, I knew exactly who she was and the undoubtedly shady s@$t that she was up to.
Good thing you didn’t make eye contact with her you might need an Exorcism and a Deliverance.
Their morale needs to be destroyed
QUESTION:
Could PDJT be doing what he is doing right now had he won in 2020??
A: No.
A compelling realization as to how and why everything has unfolded these many years.
The last four years may have been the best thing that could have happened to this country.
And yet….
Who among us was thinking that way during the last four years?
A: President Donald J Trump was.
So…
Thank you, Joe Biden.
With any luck and God’s grace, you will have been a principal author of the democrat party’s complete and total destruction…
…a debt of gratitude and appreciation this country would owe you forever.
(Perspective can be a weird thing)
What is clearly apparent is that lots of people on Trump’s team have been quietly working for a long time behind the scenes to prepare for a quick strike, shock and awe deconstruction of the administrative state.
The DC Swamp alligators are now in the process of regrouping in preparation for a counterattack. What has yet to be seen is just how organized and just how effective the swamp alligators will be in opposing Team Trump’s game plan.
The closest military analogy to what we are watching unfold is Operation Desert Storm.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think President Trump would drain the swamp in the first 100 days of term#2.
As Ross Perot would say, “I hear a giant sucking sound”.
The bowels of Leavenworth are too good for these “people”..
President Trump is going to need to begin an Exile Program to send all these bad actors and corral them once they are identified and removed.
I have suggested previously utilizing the former leper colony Island in the Hawaiian chain..
These people will regroup and come back to bite us.
Also, when does open season begin on Soros??
These people were essentially nothing more than community organizers on steroids and on a global scale. Good ridance.
Good riddance to where? Like I said above, these jokers will come back to bite, unless someone uses FISA to keep tabs on ’em or locks them up.
The punishment for Treason is a better idea. Problem solved.
I was hoping to let the malcontents sort things out like “Lord Of The Flies” in a verdant hell with Cookie Cutter Sharks patrolling the waters hindering escape.
Plunder Games.
“This is a huge morale hit,” said a former senior Trump administration official who was also told of the move. “This is the leadership of the agency. This is like taking out all the generals. I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it.”
Well, us peons know what he hopes to accomplish by it.
This is exactly what I voted for !
Major, major pretending by the useless former Trump administration official who said “I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it”.
So many useless “republicans” insult our knowledge and intelligence ever time they speak publicly, just confirming they should “be gone” never to be heard from again. The marxist media keeps a list of these useless turncoats, just for propaganda purposes.
Fantastic news! 👍 Orban’s gotta be happy😁…
Trump Cuts Off the Snake’s Head, Sidelines USAID Leadership
https://www.hungarianconservative.com/articles/politics/usaid-donald-trump-foreign-interference-hungary/
FTA –
Hungary has experience with USAID,…it is not a positive one. In December 2022, roughly three months after the arrival of Biden-appointed Ambassador to Hungary, David Pressman, the US Embassy announced the return of USAID to the country. ….USAID’s mission was to ‘strengthen democratic institutions, civil society, and independent media.’ The agency pledged to support its partners by increasing the capacity of civil society to uphold democratic principles, strengthening the financial independence of independent media, enhancing civil society and media watchdog skills….
Following this, significant grants began flowing to opposition media outlets, government-critical NGOs, and other actors perceived as potential challengers to Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his government. USAID collaborated closely with Pressman in attacking the Hungarian government by financing an extensive media network that amplified every critical statement made by the US Ambassador.
As a last parting gift, the US Embassy allocated substantial grants to several opposition and left-leaning media outlets on the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration.
However, with Trump back in the White House, Washington appears more focused on addressing its domestic issues rather than meddling in the affairs of its allies. As part of the suspension of foreign aid, the ‘US Ambassador’s Independent Media Support Fund’ has also halted its assistance for Hungarian opposition media.
Are ambassadors allowed to interfere in a host country’s domestic affairs?
Orban should have expelled him and Power
Why is Power allowed to interfere in all these countries? Why hasn’t she been banned?
Where is Nuland?
I hear that roanoke city schools in roanoke Virginia are going to block ICE, according to the propaganda outlet WDBJ7.COM, have family there
In that case rumor should start that a serial rapist in loose in that area. Watch the parent beg for LEO.
Likely the school administration has made this decision and not the parents.
Throw them out in the D.C. January cold and take their coats away.
It’s not enough to fire them. Now revoke all of their security clearances so they cannot travel among all the other criminal government and NGO fellow travelers.
“ I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it.” Are you kidding me? This team did their homework. Foreign policy has been a worry for me, so this is sweet. I saw a Babylon Bee article that said the media is begging Trumps team to take a day off. He’s wearing them out. This is an unprecedented pace of immediate action.
How is he wearing them out? They never report the good stuff.
c’mon man! it’s really hard to make bad stuff up and twist good stuff into a hit piece on such short notice!
As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
Proverbs 25:25
Americans have been hoping for this refreshing.
Sundance, do you know by name the people who have been doing the planning to shut this particular agency?
Patel? Ratcliffe? Would Rubio actually have knowledge of this particular firing?
Tombstone, well bye
We are just 8 days into this trade. With a working weekend from par 3 and par 4. All of these MF that want to run the resistance are going to have to pull 130 hour work weeks. Back ups look tired, running out of law fair. Their legistar search engine says “end of options”. lol
I ‘ve never felt as happy and blessed to have a branch, or even by a leaf on the Treehouse tonight. So many comments on this one post that I could be up all night reading them.
Too much winning (which I have been saying to myself and others who I know who get what I mean this week)! But this USAID thing is like organic raw butter on sour bread toast. So incomparably delicious.
THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP (45,46,47). Save us from the fires of the HELL we have been in. And thank you!
I was going to post the video of the song by the Talking Heads “Burning Down The House.” Not sure that video captures the same feeling as reading the words to it.
LYRICS:
Watch out you might get what you’re after
Boom babies strange but not a stranger
I’m an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight wait till the party’s over
Hold tight We’re in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Here’s your ticket pack your bag
Time for jumpin’ overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin’ fire with fire
All wet! Hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown! Dreams walkin’ in broad daylite
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house
It was once upon a place
sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work and baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame
My house! Is out of the ordinary
That’s right! Don’t wanna hurt nobody
Some things sure can
sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house
No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin’ yet
Everything’s stuck together
And I don’t know what you expect starring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire.
What is the farthest thing from their minds? How about all being arrested in 2 weeks.
