However, I sometimes thing Trump does actually look a bit like Il Duce with more hair. Now, about David Shaw...
You'd like to think Trump will depart the White House with some scintilla of dignity left on his own, but if he has to be physically removed to vacate . . . then so be it.
You'll come around on Shaw . . . as most others have already. Points to you for loyalty.

This thread demonstrates that perfectly.
But just in case JAF's and Dabig's coup comes through, I better go buy some guns to protect my $hit!
Also, we all should buy Lotto tickets for the Super Universal Power Ball drawing because . . . well . . . you know, there's not a zero chance that we could win.

If you think that the odds of winning the lotto is anywhere near as likely as a coup was this November then I can waive you off as historically and numerically clueless. In fact, I'm going to add you to a tiny list of people whose opinion is so meaningless and value-subtract that it earns an ignore.
That'll show me!
Some folks on this board are so precious.
