In reply to the discussion: Morning Joe explains why Trump is 'spinning out of control' on Twitter: 'A shoe is about to drop' [View all]Hekate
(90,564 posts)30. Bre'r Rabbit (Brother Rabbit) is an African-American Trickster tale-cycle...
As with all Tricksters, he gets himself into and out of trouble regularly, with his would-be nemesis Brother Fox. During one epic scene he has gotten covered with the abundant sticky tar of the region due to his curiosity (remember there's a state nickname of "Tarheels" ) and Fox is gloating. Rabbit pleads over and over not to be thrown into the briar patch. Fox, naturally, tosses Rabbit into the thorns. Rabbit goes to cover, laughing like hell, crowing that he had been born and bred in a briar patch.

This 'dropping shoe" is likely to be a diversion from the BOOT that is ready to fall.
