Prepare to Hoist

I hope he takes it to higher ground, as someone on the GB seems to think that Manhattan is sinking.
 
While the terrorists continue to build petards, it is the Democratic do nothings who continue to be hoisted by.them.

You do realise that a petard is simply a conical bomb used to blast a hole in a door?
 
And of course you realize Shakespeare's use of the term and it's meaning since?

Yes, I do, the meaning being that you get injured really or metaphorically by a device of your own construction. (as often happened when the device was used). However, you do seem to be mixing your metaphors.

My metaphor was meant to mean that the left leaning media was giving Trump so much press in trying to "stop him", that they were helping to elect him. So hoisted by their own petard was and is an appropriate description. So prepare to be hoisted.

Your metaphor using the press works fine, but in this case, it doesn't apply. To use that metaphor it must be the builder of the device who suffers as a result of its use. yet you have one group building and a different group being hurt by it.

Yeah, I know I'm just an old pedant.

The group hurt would be the lying sack of shit media.
 
The realization that Trump will be the nominee is sinking in with the left. What will they do when Hillary winds up in jail? Her past is ripe for the picking and Trump is the man for the job. Poor Rosario Dawson simply mentioned Monica and she probably won't get another movie role for 20 years. The left, ideas so good they make them all mandatory.
