The original post was NOT talking about impeaching Trump:
Quote:Anything that will contribute to rendering trump like a harpooned whale on a factory ship is fine by me.
A dead whale on a factory ship. Dead whales are what are on the deck. Harpooned is to kill them.
Rendered.
melt down (fat).
"the fat was being cut up and rendered for lard"
synonyms:
melt down, clarify
"the fat can be rendered"
- process (the carcass of an animal) in order to extract proteins, fats, and other usable parts.
"the rendered down remains of sheep"
Wait, let me give you a chance. Please show me how the post in reference can be interpreted as referring to "impeaching Trump".

Instead of putting "MAGA" on his ugly ass coin, he should put, "ICEBERG AHEAD".

Simple impeaching Trump would do just this . Maybe not physically (depending on what he's impeached on ). But if he is impeached it would rend his reputation etc down . Though admittedly among his hardcore fans who think everything is a conspiracy this will likely have less of an effect .
FYI
I know what render means so you can drop the pretentious lectures.

Because when you work for Trump in the White House, you don't work for Trump International or Donald Trump personally. You work for the federal government, which has rules in place to protect whistleblowers.
OK, let me put this in a more clear way. What did Bannon say that qualifies for whistleblower status? What I am reading is nothing to do with [quote from wiki whistleblower page]
The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989, Pub.L. 101-12 as amended, is a United States federal law that protects federal who work for the government and report agency misconduct.
Some quotes that I have read were from before Trump was elected (and Bannon would have had a non disclosure regarding those aspects) and the few afterwards are what I would call pissy office bitching, if they are even accurate with the authors credibility on quotes highly questionable (for many years now).

I know what render means so you can drop the pretentious lectures. You did not answer my question at all, because you cannot. There is no way to interpret rendering a dead whale on a factory ship as "impeached".
The good thing though is that you recognize that particular quote was not a good analogy.
FYI, there is no way for me to understand exactly what people know. I know what rendering is from living on a farm and participating in the harvest of meat. I also know the original poster understands rendering via the harpooned whale analogy. You were an unknown so it was not pretentious, though you would wish to believe it to be so.

Yes i did answer the question . You asked me to interpret that sentence in terms of rending a Whale . I answered it would be socially and professionally rending as in it would reduce extract his credibility from him . As the fat and other resources are reduced from the whale . And the harpoon i took to mean the the revelation and investigation or perhaps the legal trail itself which will be a killing blow . The factory i interpreted as the legal system itself processing him down . I think i made that pretty clear and did not need to explain every individual component .
And thou it is a weak analogy not a bad one .
If you don't know something look into it . If you had you would know i grew up hunting in the far north .And we had to rend our kills for resources . It's no obscure fact about me. But i'll take on the idea of not assuming malice and drop the subject .

Siren call of the zealot.
Look, for the first time in my 48 years I find myself in the position of having to defend the intellectual capacity of my American friends. The other 95% of the world is reaching the conclusion that all Americans are versions of Cletus the slack jawed yokel. Perhaps you like that international perception, but it is not a good look and certainly does not apply to any Americans with whom I am familiar.
Before the Trump, conference calls were prefaced by some idle small talk, friends, family, world events, whatever. These days it is all "have you seen what the orange idiot in chief said/did now?". America is well on it's way to becoming the NorKor of the western hemisphere. A rogue state.
Bottom line? Go back to the boonies with your banjo.

Nice reframing, but I do not believe that was the intent of the OP quote I referred to.
I dont bother with seeking out info via the search engine in this forum. I have used this forums search feature twice now and it did not work well for me. Though most forum search features leave much to be desired.
Assuming malice has become a bane in most forums over the last decade.

Please explain to me how you think this NDA runs afoul of fed whistleblower.

The government is not a company and cannot muzzle you over wrongdoing that you observed, per federal law.
