I was watching Columbo...


So, I am at home with my cats, Pepper, Kitty and Malik who often watch me watching TV or watch the TV screen. Columbo comes on, and Peter Falk is one of my favorite actors, as Lt. Columbo of the LAPD, investigating a homicide. The unique feature of the show is that we as the audience witness the murder. We see the reason why the victim is killed and we are shown the means for the murderer to establish an alibi thus preventing their capture and imprisonment.

Nothing new, except, I thought of what is going on in our country right now. I had a strange epiphany that many of us as the progressive left have witnessed this part of the show in the election of this current orange tinted administration. And although we know the reason why, and see the transgressions of the murderer we continue to watch our detective assemble all of the clues to put them away. The initial question differing in every episode that Lt Columbo asks makes the person realize that getting away with murder is not so easy. They begin to provide false information, hoping the smoke and mirrors will take them out of the fire, only to realize that this makes them more culpable. Simply dismissing such statements worries them further and they begin to feel, well, there is no proof. And no proof means I can walk.

But Lt. Columbo comes back again and again, working on them, getting them to lower their guard until their confession, or lies get them into trouble. The truth is plain to see that they were the murderer and was the clearly the only one capable with the means, motive and opportunity test to commit the murder.

I'm hoping that we are in the last 15 to 20 minutes of the show in 45 administration as they try to cover their tracks hoping and praying that they are not caught.

Just my thoughts.

Oh, and BTW, my cats agreed with me too because after the show I fed them and they went to sleep. None of them disagreed with my analysis like they sometimes do when they jump on the shelves and I have to scoot them off.

You mean he would be a great Inspector Clouseau.  And amazed to find his own a-hole by just opening his eyes.

The Fatemah2774 primitive needs to watch "McMillian and Wife" instead of Columbo since the primitive obviously has a lot in common with Rock Hudson's butthole.

Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
I hope her cats haven't told her to kill anyone yet.

DUmmie is drawing the wrong lesson from Columbo.  The thing about Columbo is the bad guy always thinks Columbo is a goofball shooting off on weird tangents, right up until Columbo closes the loop on them and they're trapped.

The correct lesson is that Trump is Columbo, and DUmmies are the arrogant, scoffing evildoers.
