Were we not told exactly what would happen?

The jackals and the hyenas are circling. Rs and Ds alike have blocked every single attorney appointment.
It's coming. Mark my words. It's coming. https://t.co/KfCPHrD3Nz
You ever watch those nature documentaries on the cable?
Yeah.
You see that one about lions? Look at this lion. He's the king of the jungle, huge mane out there. He's laying down under a tree in the middle of Africa. He's so big, he's so hot . . . he doesn't want to move.
Now the little lions come, they start messing with him, biting his tail, biting his ears. He isn't doing anything. The lioness, she starts pestering 'em, coming over and making trouble. Still nothing.
Now the jackals and hyenas, they start to move in. They're barking at him, laughing at him. They nip his toes and eat the food that's in his domain. They do this and get closer and closer and bolder . . . until one day, that lion gets up and tears the shit out of everybody. Runs like the wind, eats everything in his path.
Because every once in a while, the lion has to show the jackals who he is. It's too late to be scared. It's time to kill.
Yeah.

I'm going to the other room. You come out when you're ready. Don't beat him . . . kick his ass.
