1. When I think of law and order...

When I think of law and order in connection with Predator Grump, I think of it as meaning that he thinks he is the law and we are all expected to follow his orders, dictator style.

Anyway, running on law and order is old news and the circumstances we are in make it a bad strategy, and may Predator Grump continue to run on his gut, (there is lots of it) and ignore advice because his luck and failing up are coming to an end.

Maybe he won't realize that he contains the seeds of his own destruction. His hubris may turn out to be the Achilles heel we have been hoping to find/see.
