1. It would be great if that happened world wide.

[Angry Dragon]

2. It took one man less than 2 minutes to erase Trump

[fierywoman]

The name, like the man has no substance. That was so satisfying to watch.

[flor-de-jasmim]

5. Oh man! That is such sweet schadenfreude porn.

[LittleGirl]

23. That made me snicker

that is exactly what it was. I loved the crow bar.
I loved that he threw each letter in a pile.
Just tossed it for all it's worth.
it looked like a pile of shit.
so appropriate.

Thank you. I need a smoke now.

12. Fake news. That's a prybar (or crowbar), not a chisel.

Crowbar (tool)



A crowbar with a curved chisel end to provide a fulcrum for leverage and a swan neck to pull nails

A crowbar, also called a wrecking bar, pry bar or prybar, pinch-bar, or occasionally a prise bar or prisebar, colloquially, in Britain and Australia sometimes called a jimmy (also called jimmy bar or jemmy), gooseneck, or pig foot, is a tool consisting of a metal bar with a single curved end and flattened points, often with a small fissure on one or both ends for removing nails. It is also a class 1 lever. In Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia, due to the influence of American media "crowbar" may occasionally be used loosely for this tool, but it is still mainly used to mean a larger straighter tool, its original English meaning (see digging bar). The term jammy or jimmy most often refers to the tool when used for burglary.

Hmmm. Maybe "jammy" or "jimmy" is the right word, considering the context.

Edited: I'm thinking it's probably not a good idea to strike a crowbar with a hammer. Anyone?

14. Accurate name of tool. You think a writer would get 'crowbar' correct.

[groundloop]

21. They used a CROWBAR to CHISEL off that horrible name

I don't see an issue here. Besides, all that really matters are the end result (which in this case was magnificent).

24. Chisels are sharpened. Crowbars are not.

ABC should have said that the letters were pried off with a crowbar.

If I go to Harbor Freight and ask, "what aisles are the chisels on?" and the guy sends me to the aisle with the crowbars, I'll be going back to ask him for directions again. I mean, unless they're on the same aisle.

In my family, we would have used a screwdriver for that. We used a screwdriver to do everything.

But it was a lovely video. I could see that running for 24 hours straight instead of the Yule Log next, uh, Christmas. Or winter holiday.

22. It was a

Trump "gold" crowbar! At least it looks like it in the video. Are all the tools at Trump properties "gold?"

[Motley13]

13. wish we could get rid of the maggot that easily

[FakeNoose]

15. This action was taken by the hotel's owner

Trump didn't own this hotel in Panama. The owner paid Trump a yearly kick-back to put the Trump name on the hotel.
I guess he's cancelled their agreement, but the Trumps don't care. They're finding new suckers in India to replace these guys.

[Gothmog]

17. This makes me smile

[askyagerz]

18. The first of many

There will be a montage of this in a documentary someday

[gademocrat7]

19. Good news.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

26. I hope he feels that in some form. I bet he had a lot more Russian money in it than...

his own. The question is this: is there a point when Putin cuts him loose? What happens when partners like the Russians lose hundreds of millions on real estate/money laundering, how understanding and forgiving are they?

In "Pritzi's Honor" one character explains about the Pritzi family, "they'd rather eat their children than give up their money. And they truly love their children."

How are Russians about their money?

27. Now some people are calling Mueller "The Chisel"

[jayschool2013]

29. I see the P

was really difficult to remove.

[yellowcanine]

30. Should have just taken the "T" off and left "RUMP"

[Cha]

33. Here it is.. for posterity..

[AwakeAtLast]

31. Ahhhhhh,

So satisfying!

34. Remember the Maim!

[Myrddin]

35. Safe to assume that guy was paid...

...for his work. (Though I'm sure many would do it for free)

Good possibility that the guy who attached those letters to the wall, originally, is still waiting for his money?
