1. Scott Free is Scoff Law's Stepbrother.

I have that on excellent authority.

12. And to think Trump boasts of his mother's Scottish heritage. He even has a country club there.

For some reason, when I see Trump, I think of toilet paper.

What does scot-free mean?

The word does not mean, the above citation notwithstanding, "an absence of Scotts; free from the machinations of Messrs. Baio, Pippen, Caan, and Joplin." We enter the word with a single T, and define it as "completely free from obligation, harm, or penalty."

8. And another Dictionary company

Dictionary.com (@Dictionarycom) Tweeted:
We say “scot-free,” rather than “Scott Free,” because the word comes from the Old English scotfreo meaning “exempt from royal tax.

9. And Merriam Webster Trending....

Trending: ‘scot-free’
Lookups spiked 3,100% on December 3rd, 2018
Why are people looking up scot-free?
Scot-free attracted considerably more attention than it usually does on December 3rd, 2018, after President Trump employed the word with an uncommon orthographic form, in a tweet.

10. I just forced myself to look at his Tweets for the first time

They are all so mean and petty - hardly presidential - especially when I'm listening at the same time to H.W. Bush's service to his country.
