You see, that's the thing about cowards and bullies. They pick what they think are soft targets, and eventually become convinced of their own invulnerability. Sooner or later though, they pick on the wrong person, whether that's T. Paine, or DJT, snd when they do that, they are all kinds of fucked, with no way out.
And I am enjoying every minute of it. I always thought comeuppance was a very underappreciated word.
