    Broken clock is right twice a day man. Being saved by a piece of shit isn’t fun.

      well… he’s not a broken clock. he’s a self-serving asshole whose self-interest just so happened to coincidentally align with not destroying American democracy at that particular moment. it had nothing to do with anything but himself.

      and THAT is what sucks the most, not to mention that people are praising him for it.

        “the broken clock just so happened to coincidentally align with the current time” Kinda exactly what the phrase is used for.

          “ A broken clock is right twice a day” is the phrase.

          Stopped clock, if you’re an “eat your cake and have it too” type of person, because a broken clock might be broken in that it runs fast, slow, or be missing teeth on a gear or sometime causing it to skip.
