33. 'Incarceratory Punishment!' I cannot resist saying this reminds me of a line in the Harry Potter

Tue Apr 30, 2024, 11:59 AM

Apr 2024

Chamber of Secrets movie.

Anyway, Filch's cat gets 'petrified,' and Dumbledore and the teachers are waffling - it looks like Harry did it, because he was there when it was discovered, but then Snape speaks up.

Filch says, "My cat HAS BEEN PETRIFIED! I want to see some PUNISHMENT!"

And, like Filch, I'm sure all of us would like to see some 'Incarceratory Punishment' - I know the idea of Trump spending a night in jail is quite appealing.

Honestly, having him spend the remainder of his life behind bars would be best for our republic. He is too dangerous to be running around free.
