A well-known phrase that’s very applicable today to our 45th POTUS and the impeachment inquiry which essentially means that if you treat others badly, it will come back to you eventually.
You kick a dog in the morning. Later that night a rabid dog bites you in the ass and you die of rabies. The neighbor who saw you kick his dog says: What comes around goes around.
A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.
Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.
