My blog has other stories which pique my interest.
Only yesterday with perhaps some irony of timing The New York Times published a story reviewing the best mousetraps for 2020. It amazes me how often I wake up with no idea whether I’ll even have an original idea for a story and something comes to me from the strangest places and activates something in the recesses of my mind. I found this story looking at the technology stories on Google News.
To tell the truth, I wouldn’t have bothered write it if I hadn’t thought of a hopefully amusing illustration to make with the mousetrap, Biden, and Trump.
My warped mind immediately leaped to imagining the overconfident to the point of being delusional Donald Trump walking onto the stage to debate Joe Biden thinking he’s nothing more than a tasty morsel of the same concoction of of approximately 60% real cheese which is a blend of 51% cheddar and 9% other cheese, with the remaining 40% being other ingredients used on MacDonalds Big Macs.
Of course a mere mousetrap wouldn’t suffice for a heavyweight like Donald Trump so the large version would be necessary:
.
The trap shown in the video is so fast it is a blur of deadly motion. I don’t think Joe Biden needs to be that fast in his responses when Trump makes a lunge for the tasty human morsel he envisions the sleepy drug enhanced Joe to be.
All Biden needs to do is be the Joe Biden we know: Calm, confident, and a clear contrast to the bombastic Trump. A few Biden retorts that cut as sharply as a laser scalpel, so deeply and quickly Trump doesn't even know he’s been eviscerated and disemboweled may be satisfying to many of us, but it isn’t necessary.
Trump is a petard filled with nitroglycerine, the most dangerous and unstable explosive know to man. Considering the recent news about his taxes and his dismal standing in the polls, added to the refusal of Covid-19 to accede to his magical incantations that it disappear, Trump is even more like volatile nitro than ever.
Pure nitroglycerin is a contact explosive (physical shock may result in an explosion), which degrades over time, producing even more unstable chemical forms. As a result nitroglycerin is highly dangerous to transport or handle. The undiluted form it is one of the most powerful high explosives, analogous to military explosives RDX and PETN, along with the plastic explosive C-4.
Biden won’t have to hoist him, Trump will hoist himself. It won’t take much for Biden to say to shock Trump into exploding on live TV for the world to see.
