Looking at Trump's upcoming legal dance card, I am reminded of an artillery exercise that is sometimes done to impress observers and at other times done to eliminate a strong point in the enemy lines. It's called "time on target" and is usually done at regimental level, but could be battalion or divisional level as well. The concept is simple - the unit artillery officer in charge sets up a schedule for all the guns in the unit - from infantry mortars to heavy long guns - to fire in a particular sequence so that all the shells fired land on the target at exactly the same time. At the regimental or divisional level, the target will simply cease to exist as dozens of shells land in a restricted area. It usually renders any surviving enemy infantry incapable of functioning as combat troops. Trump must feel like those enemy soldiers as the incoming from (so far) four separate investigations closes in on him.....
I liked Mary Trump's suggestion this morning that debate candidates show up with mashed potatoes for the loser. Their bowls would be the ultimate and certainly more localized version of a "shell" delivered on live tv, and just dumping would do quite well visually as a simple example of a round of "mortar' fired on stage.

I would think a good old-fashioned food fight would liven up many a dull political debate. :-)
