(3,528 posts)The pot calling the kettle black is a case of 2 things with a shared attribute where one (the pot) accuses the other (kettle) of that attribute, not realizing that they share that same characteristic. So it would be more like tRump calling Nixon a crook. This case is more like tRump yelling insults at a mirror.

(115,683 posts)But I think Trump projects his own awful attributes onto others. Crooks tend to think everybody else is crooked, too.

(3,528 posts)They are all such selfish heartless crooks that they cant even begin to imagine someone going into public service to do some good. They either believe its all fake sincerity (old joke; if you can learn to fake sincerity in politics youve got it made), or think they are hopeless rubes, trying to help their fellow man when they could (should) be feeding at the trough and lining their own pockets.

The Blob is an independently made 1958 American science fiction-horror film in widescreen color by De Luxe, produced by Jack H. Harris, directed by Irvin Yeaworth, and written by Kay Linaker and Theodore Simonson. The film stars Steve McQueen (in his starring feature film debut, as Steven McQueen) and Aneta Corsaut and co-stars Earl Rowe and Olin Howland. The Blob was distributed by Paramount Pictures as a double feature with I Married a Monster from Outer Space.
The storyline concerns a growing, corrosive, alien amoeboidal entity that crashes to Earth from outer space inside a meteorite. It devours and dissolves citizens in the small communities of Phoenixville and Downingtown, PA, growing larger, redder, and more aggressive each time it does so, eventually becoming larger than a building.

Donnie needs another Snort. His Drug use is becoming more prevalent with each passing day.
He will act out in public before long with his rage.
