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 .(January 4, 2018 at 8:40 pm)Tizheruk Wrote: If this challenge is to interpret this commentYou 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".
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.
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.
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 .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
