He makes me think of the remora - a long slim fish with a big mouth that attaches to sharks and bigger sea creatures, and eats parasites and loose flakes of its host’s skin. I looked ‘em up and looks like their favorite “food” is the host’s poop! Automatically made me think of Peter Navarro!


I remember seeing videos of these parasitical creatures hangin’ on to a larger host. It looked like the host had long fat streamers hanging off the sides of its body.

I guess any port in the storm, ‘eh?

Cause his hanging-on skills seem to be failing him. He's slipping, slipping away.

For context, remember he was the one who kept going on air with Ari Melber and essentially confessing all of his crimes, as if to prove to himself that every little cheat they were doing to steal the election was fair game. There's two kinds of crooks in this Trump gang. The ones who are trying to fool you and the ones that are successfully fooling themselves.

Right now, Rudy Giuliani is somewhere in your brain, laying back on a hotel bed and unzipping in anticipation.

And this is the greatest ego stroke he’s ever had.

He’s a remora. Also known as a suckerfish.

Too bad his prison term is only a few months - and not DECADES.

He’s nothing but a hanger-on.

both convicted of the same crime. Is Bannon and his attorneys just better at drawing out the long appeal process?
